Overview

HP builds this Sprocket as a portable printer about the size of a smartphone, using ZINK zero ink technology to produce glossy sticky-back photos. A companion app sends pictures over Bluetooth and adds borders and stickers. A rechargeable battery means no cord is needed while printing.

No ink cartridges and a pocket-friendly body are the reasons to buy, since prints come straight from your phone to peel-and-stick paper. The limits are the small print size and the modest resolution, which suit snapshots rather than detailed or large photos.

Who it's for

Phone photographers who like decorating a journal, laptop or wall with small stickers will use this printer often. It is the wrong tool for large framed prints or office document work.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • No ink cartridges to replace
  • Small enough for a pocket or bag
  • Prints peel-and-stick photos
  • Bluetooth link to phone
Cons
  • Small print format only
  • Modest print resolution
  • Special ZINK paper required
  • Sheet capacity is small

Performance notes

ZINK paper has color crystals built into it, and heat inside the printer activates them, which is why no ink is needed. Print quality is capped by the paper and the listed resolution, so expect snapshot-level detail. The battery and paper stack limit how long you can print before recharging or reloading.
