What’s so cool about the HP Sprocket Printer?
Several models of HP photo printers has been in the market for quite some time, some have huge footprints, others are compact and mobile. But, the HP sprocket photo printer is something else. It can print photos from a smartphone - pictures stored in the camera roll and/or from social media. What’s more, it is so small (particularly the size of a cell phone) and can fit easily into any purse. This gadget will definitely appeal to millennials being a smartphone printer.
The only consideration on this gadget’s appeal is because millennials are into selfies and social media, and does outrageous things that may not be normal to regular Jane and John does. They snap photos on a whim, like on a night out, OOTD (Outfit of the Day) and just about everything. These images actually are snapshots or records of a teen’s day. A vivid reflection of the person’s day to day activities printed as real images by a portable sprocket printer.
What makes the HP sprocket photo printer special?
It is not only its size but also the features and capabilities that come into a minute frame. It can deliver fast photo printing direct from the smartphone. And aside from being portable, it can integrate easily with Facebook, Instagram and Flickr. There are no connecting cables because it operates from smartphones and tablets using Bluetooth. Probably, the only downside is the resulting prints are limited in size, compressed into 2x3 prints.
The fact that the HP sprocket photo printer does not need ink is definitely an added bonus to users. It works using a special paper (HP Zink photo paper), eliminating the need for bulky ink or toner cartridges. Otherwise called the zero ink paper, it is a special type that prints instantly (2 minutes) after a picture is snapped. It works similarly with the paper used by Polaroid cameras, that delivers printed photos right out of the camera.
Right out of the box?
The HP sprocket photo printer include ten sprocket papers, a rose gold carry bag, and a photo album to keep the snapped photos in.
