HP Sprocket Plus Instant Color Photo Printer, Print 30% Larger Photos on 2.3x3.4 Sticky-Backed Paper – White (2FR85A)

Little printer is cute. Didn't realize hoe expensive the little papers would be for it so have yet to buy more 🙄 works as it should and pretty nifty

I love this little portable printer so far but was REALLY disappointed to discover that when I ordered the printer plus 50 sheets of photo paper in this listing and it came with the photo paper for the standard Sprocket printer NOT the plus. BEWARE when placing your order that you're getting the correct photo paper with it. Currently the listing shows 3 options: the printer alone, the printer with 50 sheets of the wrong paper or the printer with 20 sheets of the correct paper. I'm really glad I figured this out before I left for my vacation on which I'm planning to print photos. I'm returning the wrong paper but really wish Amazon didn't have it listed as a set since it is the wrong paper.

I printed 4 pictures and got a message to wait to print the next one until the printer cools off. Thereafter I got the same message after each of the remaining 6 prints. If the printer can't print all 10 photo sheets then why package the paper with 10 sheets? I'm going to give it one more try after I recharge and if it can't print 10 separate pictures without overheating I'm either going to return it or file a claim with Assurion. How can you possibly use this at a party if you have to wait to print each picture. I have the gen2 and it prints without this problem. The sprocket app works with both printers so adjusting the pictures takes a bit of understand warm-cool and lighting, but otherwise the printer works well with the app.

This thing is cool. Everyone loves getting a picture printed out on the spot. You'd think they'd never seen a Polaroid. Oh wait they haven't because no one has those anymore. This is basically the next best thing and it's great for family dinners or events to pop out a few pictures for people to keep.

Very user friendly, and I like the fact the paper is also a sticker! The size of the paper is great! Not too big or small. They do fit in standard instax photo books! I would rate it 5 stars if the print quality was better. I have noticeable print lines on my prints, the reds are a bit orange (my phone corrected it when I took the picture but in person more orange), and the contrast could be better. The prints lean pink or yellow in outdoor lighting. If the printer is supposed to have the print lines it's ok, I just hope I didn't get a defective one. My before and after photo attached is my phone pic on the left, zinc print on the right. It's a bit more washed out in person. The other two photos show the print lines but if it's supposed to be that way I'm ok with it. If it's not, I received a bad model. It's updated and I've loaded the paper correctly and it's official hp zinc paper. (The middle photo ive uploaded is old and a screen grab from snapchat, the others are 2017/2018 taken on a note 8)

Amazing that these little print, just a little larger than the previous Sprocket, appear so much bigger and better. I am so excited to take this on my Cruise Adventure, and be able to work in my Travelers Notebook with little photos hot off the press! So fun! Worth every penny!

I debated forever about buying this printer. I really wanted one but as a "toy" kind of purchase, it wasn't in my budget. I finally broke down and gifted it to myself for Christmas... and I'm not nearly as impressed by it as I thought I would be.My main complaint is that, as many others have said, the print quality seems very hit and miss. I often get the dreaded line artefacts in my photos, like many describe here. On some pics they're not as noticeable, but they are certainly there, and sometimes they seem to affect the colours a lot. I realize it'll never be HQ printing, but even for frivolous snaps it's pretty poor at times. I have definitely noticed that when the battery isn't fully charged, it's a lot more likely to print faded. It's good to realize as a workaround, but I think it's poor quality on HP's part to sell a "wireless" printer that basically needs to be fully charged to work correctly. You can also recalibrate the film using the orange card from the pack, as each pack is slightly off from the others and will need calibration.Sometimes, these things help, sometimes, not so much. And each time you test print, it costs about $.50, so that's a bummer. I really hope HP can improve this via software updates.The good things:- You can opt to imprint the photos with some hidden information. When you scan such a pic with the app, it will show you some geolocation data and other photos you took that day. It's kind of cool and techy.- The app is pretty nice. I notice it offers a billion little frames but none that look like a Polaroid. Go figure. :P- The app lets you draw on a piece of paper and take a pic in order to create a transparent kind of .png to use as an overlay going forward. It's a nice little feature. I hope they'll add more toys like this to the app, it's fun.- I really love how anyone who connects to the camera can print on it. Very cool for parties.- The unit itself is sleek and light, easy to travel with.- The prints are heavy paper, nice quality, and the adhesives are strong.- The app was easy to install and set up, no trouble at all with connecting the bluetooth. The app finds the photos easily, and my phone finds the printer before I even ask most of the time. I think even if you weren't tech savvy, you'd be able to set this up and enjoy it without much trouble.If they'd just make the print quality a bit better, it'd be nearly perfect! But that's a pretty big dealbreaker for me at the moment, especially at this price, when you could just get a little Instax camera for so much less.

The little device is handy and great for on the go. I showed it to some of my coworkers and they were impressed by it. I like the fact that I print the pictures that I want and I can edit them.
