HP Sprocket Portable Photo Printer 2nd Edition (Noir) & Sprocket Photo Paper, Sticky-Backed 20 sheets

We purchased this to replace my son's broken instax 9 mini camera, and we are very pleased with it. br>br>The photos print every time (compared to 8 out of 40 for instax). The photos aren't Ansel Adams-worthy, but they're good enough for an instant print camera or a cute thing for a memory book or scrapbook. br>br>Unlike the instax 9, the film does not have cute/colored frames, but it prints a picture every time, which is fine with me. When you're spending $5-$10, dependability is crucial. For a 20-film pack, the price is ten dollars. br>br>Having the controls on your phone rather than on the camera is strange and takes some getting used to, but it's probably a good thing because my 6-year-old won't mess with the controls. br>br>We are very pleased with this camera and the $100 purchase price, which included the memory card and a 10-film pack.

The printer works well with the camera, but I'm not a fan of the camera itself. The viewfinder is a complete shambles. Because it's essentially a piece of cloudy plastic, I couldn't tell what I was photographing. For selfies, HP placed a sort of mirror in front of you, but it was a flop. I was immediately enamored with the concept and have lusted after this camera since it was released shortly after I purchased my stand-alone sprocket. The stand-alone printer is highly recommended, but the all-in-one should be purchased after more work on the lens has been completed.

I wanted a Polaroid camera, but I didn't like the idea of carrying a large, bulky camera around with me, nor did I like the fact that most of them were shoot and print. So, whatever you take a picture of, that's what you'll get as a print; Your photo could be off-center, blurry, or someone could blink, resulting in a print being thrown away. So I figured, why not print the photos I take with my phone? (Note 10 / iPhone 11)br>br>I began looking for photo printers and came across this one, which I chose primarily because of the price per print; br>Photo paper costs $5 at the moment. Each photo will cost you 30 cents if you buy a pack of 20 for 99 dollars. It's a lot less expensive than Polaroid photos, which can cost up to two dollars each. The cost of a print is $3. br>br>Quality isn't great, but neither is polaroid or any other small at-home photo printer. These are meant to bring back memories and be shared among friends. At the age of 70, I purchased this printer. I would not recommend paying the full price of 80$ for this printer; I would prefer to get it for less than 50$. br>br>If you want good print, take them to your local drug store or Costco and have them developed. For a much larger and higher resolution print, these cost less than 23 cents each.

I got through 6 and then decided to call it a day. I couldn't even turn off the printer to wipe everything clean and try again. Nothing appeared to be working. I contacted Amazon tech support, but they were unable to assist me; they stated that the product was defective, so I returned it. The replacement, hopefully, will be far superior. br>***It appears that the first printer was defective; now I can see a printer status, and it immediately connected to my Bluetooth. There is a significant distinction. I'm happy with this printer; I just hope it lasts. I printed three pictures, then tried to print a couple more, and the printer just froze up, refusing to turn off, refusing to give me a printer status, refusing to do anything! Do not buy this printer, or if you do, print no more than 2 photos at a time; I'm not sure if this is what messed it up, but I gave up after a few prints.

Do not make a purchase. It does have a lot of positive feedback. However, current reviews show that it does not work with newer iOS devices. Junk! I'm furious that I didn't use it during spring break due to the pandemic, and now that I'm using it and discovering it doesn't work, I'm past the return window. This is complete nonsense!.

After doing some research and getting recommendations from friends, I decided to buy it for myself. I was ecstatic to be able to print images for use in my art as well as have simple keepsakes of the photos I take with my cellphone. It didn't matter that this was a camera in and of itself - I needed it for Bluetooth printing from my own device, which this did not provide. br> br>The Sprocket was detected by my phone. The Bluetooth connection was established. When I tried to print, however, the status would cycle and do nothing, cycle and tell me something was wrong and to try again, cycle and tell me Bluetooth needed to connect (which it DID after verifying), and cycle and tell me something was wrong and to try again. It basically refused to print anything other than photos taken with the device's camera. (And the quality of these was hit or miss. ) )br>Throughout the troubleshooting, every time I tried to print, the Sprocket would freeze, forcing me to reset it with a paperclip so I could reboot it and try again. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, as well as using the app's poorly managed Help options, but nothing worked. br>I am extremely dissatisfied with this purchase. I'm pretty sure my phone isn't "advanced" (read: high-tech). I chose to return for a refund rather than try a replacement because it was not cheap enough to work with this device (Motorola G6 Play). br>I suppose I'll go back to the old ink-jet photo printers.

The Polaroid camera has been given a stylish makeover. This piqued my daughter's interest. There's no digital display because it prints. The viewfinder that pops up is a disaster. Oh well. The prints are mediocre at best, but it's all part of the ruse. But the real kicker is that it only works if you put paper in it. The SD card slot's premise is that you can save pictures, but I was hoping we could switch to "digital mode," where it doesn't print but instead takes snapshots that you can transfer to your computer to save, making it a semi-instant print and semi-instant save. digital camera in the old school Unfortunately, it will only work if you have paper and are printing each image. HP has forced our hand, and we are now obligated to purchase expensive paper in order to use the camera, despite the fact that the pictures are pretty bad. As a result, it lacks a certain amount of adaptability and fun.
