HP Sprocket Studio Photo Printer – Personalize & Print, Water- Resistant 4x6" Pictures (3MP72A)

This printer is so convenient! I love how easy it is to print pictures from my phone. Especially with a new baby, I’m taking pictures constantly and need a way to easily print them out. I would say the picture quality is good, color accuracy seems to be a bit darker than what is seen on my phone but that could be related to my screen settings. Highly recommend, great value for the price!

After spending the better part of 2 months, whenever able, on weighing out the pros, cons, features, set backs, common issues, etc. on every mini photo printer I could find to do so with, I finally pulled the trigger and got this for my wife as a surprise gift. She was hinting at the Ivy (pff) while having no clue ones like this existed.While priced higher, its 100% worth it. Make sure to crop and follow the instructions in the booklet - and you will have some shockingly good quality photos with very little effort. Amazing quality I personally think. The power this little gadget has surprised me indeed. One of the best purchases made out of all my years with Amazon.Paper and carts are a little on the pricey side but I am meaning it when I say it prints high quality photos so this truly seems fair to me. (So long as your shot is high quality when you took it.) A low resolution shot will still be a low resolution print. A high quality shot will come out a rather shocking high quality home printed photo.I bought the pack of 80 extra with the printer. She has 20 left I think. Its been a week? And not one came out disappointing, not a single paper jammed or failed to feed, and its steady begging for more.This is one purchase she will love you for and one that after you see it in action, will become proud you made.

Great photo printer. Was surprised at how well it worked! Great quality pictures.

One of the cartridge kits messed up my device and destroyed 2 ribbons. It wasn't very easy but I contacted HP Service and they replaced the device and cartridge kits and showed genuine concern for my troubles. I love the HP Sprocket Studio Plus and it was a fluke cartridge kit that ruined everything and HP followed through with their quality warranty and service 5 stars from me

I bought this as a gift for my sister who has a beautiful newborn this year. There were literally problems even before startup - as part of the setup, you are to download the sprocket app for instructions but I encountered numerous server errors upon opening. Okay, I'll let this one slide because this was on Christmas so maybe others had received this "gift" and overloaded the server.The app finally worked a few hours later and the setup was straightforward. I printed the first one and it came out fine (slightly grainy). It immediately went downhill from there. The subsequent pictures came out the way you see in the picture I uploaded. Initially, it mostly came out in the blue hue, then it printed the other colors you see in the picture. One other picture came out fine - I did not tamper with anything (application or hardware) in between the prints.So what did I do. All the troubleshooting method suggested by hp - firmware is the most up to date, the paper did not have any defects, etc. I checked to see if the size/megapixels of the images mattered. Nope. To add insult to injury, I even bought an additional paper/cartridge pack which I installed and still encountered the same issues. During the final prints, I noticed the film from the cartridge wasn't sticking and came out loose from the printer. The final straw was the paper jam at the end (pictures uploaded).Lastly, when I tried to search online about the blue hue issue (apparently prevalent), I found a variety of posts where hp reps responded with the standard troubleshoot blurb (with links that no longer exist). However, despite the OPs responding that the same issue persists, there is still no solution.

The printer is very easy to setup. All you need is Bluetooth on your phone and the HP Sprocket app. It comes with an adapter as the power source, 10 sheets, and 1 ink cartridge. The ink cartridge only prints 10 photos. You can purchase 2 ink cartridges and 80 sheets here on Amazon for $35 as of right now. (08/10/2021)The quality of the pictures is good. It resembles the picture quality on your phone pretty well. There appears to be just a slight quality difference, but it really won't make a huge difference. I don't see a yellow tint that a lot of people have mentioned. You can print either horizontally or vertically depending on the picture. Note that it takes time to print the photo, so please don't remove the photo until it's fully done printing. The app will tell you the print time in a loading bar, and the final photo will end up on the tray of the printer.Here is my only issue: when I printed my final photo, it damaged the ink cartridge's glossy paper. I'm not sure if this is because of the low resolution of the picture I printed, or if it's just a simple error in the machine. 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 damaged it. Fortunately, it was the last photo, so the ink cartridge was empty anyway.Overall, I am satisfied with this device and will continue to use it. I will update this review if anything happens to the printer.Update - I ordered new ink and sheets, and it works fine. No problems have occurred yet, and I am satisfied with this printer.

Love being able to actual print good quality pictures. Love the compact size of the unit. Fits perfectly in a small space. You have to make sure you leave 6 inches behind the unit as the paper goes back and forth from the front and back of the unit. Makes just as much noise as a regular printer. You will want to buy extra paper and ink as the starter pack only gives you 8 pictures.
