Review on πŸ–¨οΈ HP Sprocket Studio Photo Printer – Customizable & Waterproof 4x6" Prints (3MP72A) by Doug Hook

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great printer, some minor flaws

The printer is very easy to set up. All you need is Bluetooth on your phone and the HP sprocket app. It comes with an adapter as a power source, 10 sheets and 1 ink cartridge. The cartridge only holds 10 photos. You can currently buy 2 ink cartridges and 80 sheets for $35 here at Revain. (10/08/2021) Image quality is good. This is very similar to the picture quality on your phone. There seems to be a small difference in quality, but it really won't make a huge difference. I don't see the yellow tint that many have mentioned. You can print horizontally or vertically depending on the image. Please note that printing the photo will take some time. Therefore, do not delete the photo until it is completely printed. The app tells you the print time on the loading bar and the finished photo ends up in the printer tray. Here's my only problem: when I printed the last photo, it damaged the ink cartridge's glossy paper. I'm not sure if this is due to the low resolution of the image I printed or if it's just a bug in the device. The app will notify you if the photo's resolution is too low, but I decided to print it anyway. Maybe that's why it hurt. Luckily it was the last photo so the cartridge was empty anyway. Overall I am happy with this device and will continue to use it. I will update this review if anything happens to the printer. Update - I have ordered new inks and sheets and they are working great. No problems so far and I am happy with this printer.

Pros
  • Optional portable battery. Bring an extra battery to charge your Sprocket Studio and be sure to print your photos
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
