Image quality could be better

If you want to print small snapshots exclusively from your phone or tablet-whether from its photo albums or your social media accounts-the HP Sprocket is a convenient and appealing choice.

Fast photo printing; Highly portable; Prints from your phone or tablet's photo albums; Easy integration with Facebook, Instagram, and Flickr

Great small printer. Easy to use, great small prints. The do come out a little dark but there are instructions to fix this. I have not worked with this printer very much since I just got it, but I like it. I like the compact size.

If you need something like this, go for it. Personally I wouldn't purchase, but I do understand this is a fairly niche product and that there are people that would truly see themselves using this frequently.

Quick and easy to setup and use; Printer and paper both feel well made; Watching it print the first time feels great, definitely a fun device to bring with friends; Battery life and charging are good, battery life lasts long enough to print before needing a refill, or on standby for days while you...

Photo quality is lacking; Images come through clear, but color always runs a bit brownish in light areas; No wall charger, just a usb cable included; If planning to buy as a gift item, make sure you come prepared with how to use the product, as there isn't anything in the box to tell you.

So adorable! Hard to resist this little printer. The photos measure 3x2 and are of acceptable clarity and color (unless you are Ansel Adams). They print out borderless, so everything seems to fit. The film is glossy and thin. The size of the printer is what made it such a draw for me.

small size; acceptable print quality; works with various devices; prints quickly and quietly

didn't include carrying case

This is an awesome little printer. I love that it dont use ink. Picture quality isn't the best but it's convenient and easy to use and the having the choice of using your pics as stickers or just normal photos is a great bonus.

HP has launched first of its kind ‘Sprocket Photo Printer' for millennials and photography lovers, passionate about capturing memories in their day-to-day life through smartphones. The pocket-sized photo printer allows users to print directly from their mobile device instantly.

Works as advertised, quite cool.

For many, the Sprocket New Edition will be an expensive indulgence in the age of Instagram and Facebook, but for a few it could be a fun way to print and share memories, much in the spirit of the Polaroid camera.

Convenient printing; Highly portable; Improved print speeds over original model

Only prints on special 2x3in ink-free paper; Dull-as-dishwater design
