A HP Sprocket was provided to facilitate this review; however, all opinions are my own.
Want to print that picture you just snapped with your smartphone to share? Now you can! HP released a fantastic little portable smartphone printer! The HP Sprocket portable photo printer produces 2″ x 3″ color photos on sticky-backed paper so you can leave your mark almost anywhere and it’s compatible with both iOS and Android.
Using Bluetooth® connectivity and a rechargeable battery, this mini printer is wire-free for the ultimate in convenience! It fits into your bag, pocket, or glovebox and your photo prints are ready instantly – no waiting for it to develop hoping you got the shot. Setting up the printer is easy and only takes a few minutes.
The HP Sprocket uses HP ZINK® sticky-backed photo paper for the brightest colors and crispest lines. While the price of the paper may seem steep at first glance, it’s because the color is embedded into the paper, so no ink is required – how cool is that! Just peel off the paper backing to create an instant sticker or treat it like a regular photo and use photo corners, place it in your wallet, or frame it!
Get Creative with the HP Sprocket App
The free HP Sprocket App allows you the ultimate in creativity! Choose a photo from your phone’s gallery, or one of your social media accounts like Instagram or Facebook. You an even pull one from Flickr then open it with the App and add some cute emojis, fun borders, and more. Then add text if you like to make the prints uniquely yours. Don’t find a photo that’s perfect? The App will even let you take a new one and edit it.
But why would you want an HP Sprocket?
Snap It! Print It! Share It!
But why would you want an HP Sprocket? Well, it’s fun, and it’s instant and allows hand-to-hand sharing for those friends and relatives who don’t have smartphones or ones who want a real photo. It’ll be heading to great-grandma’s house on Christmas. This is Ame’s first Christmas and the first time this side of the family will meet her. She’ll be able to take a photo with each new great-aunt, great-uncle, and a plethora of second cousins. It’ll be a perfect way to capture the moment and give her a book of all of her new relatives to take with her and a photo of her for them!
Capturing the special moments and creating fun memories is what the HP Sprocket does best! What special event would you capture with this portable printer?
You’ll find this portable printer and print paper at the following retailers:

My daughter would love to have that Sprocket. She takes gazillion photos of her son! Photo prints would make for great keepsakes. I’m getting this for her this Christmas.
I wish my husband give me this Hp printer this Christmas.. I love to collect photos so I really need to have this.
The Sprocket looks like a fun little gadget to have! I know that both of my daughters would love to have one. I’d love to have it to print off my vacation photos right away instead of harboring them on my laptop, never to be seen again.
What a cool device! My tween daughter would love to take Sprocket along to a school dance or club meeting.
I love the photos on sticky back photo paper. That way you can just put them wherever you want to.
There are so many good features. I love that you can print grandma and grandpa pictures to take wth them when they go. That’d be a big hit here.
Well, that’s just about the coolest thing ever. I love that you can take it anywhere and do your printing. That certainly makes life easier.
That is so awesome! This would be great for sharing pictures with my parents. I can just print them off right there when I get a good shot.
