Even in our digitized, cloud-data age, it\u2019s still fun to print and trade photos with friends and family. Plenty of home printers can churn out quality photos, but what about those times when you\u2019re out and about and want to take a photo that you can share with someone on the spot? For years, the only reasonable option would be an instant camera \u2014 until now, that is. Enter the HP Sprocket Photo Printer<\/a>, a slim, portable printer that you can connect to any smartphone via Bluetooth.<\/p>

Small enough to fit in your pocket and capable of printing long-lasting, colorful photos in seconds, the HP Sprocket<\/a> is a neat piece of tech that\u2019s a great travel companion. Let\u2019s dig into what gives this printer a major edge over your standard instant camera.<\/p>

The beauty of the HP Sprocket Photo Printer<\/a> is its portability. At a size that\u2019s smaller than a smartphone, you can carry it anywhere. Its print quality is impressive, as well; the camera comes with 10 sheets of Zink photo paper which embeds colors inside the paper when it\u2019s printed. That means zero ink costs, as well as prints that are resistant to water and smudges and take longer to fade than those from an instant camera. The sheets also have an adhesive backing so you can stick them anywhere, and with a pack of 50 refill sheets<\/a> going for under $25, producing photos isn\u2019t an expensive proposition compared to other printers.<\/p>

Using the HP Sprocket Photo Printer<\/a> is a snap \u2014 just connect it to your phone using Bluetooth and you\u2019re ready to print 2-inch by 3-inch photos. As you\u2019d expect from a device that connects to your smartphone, the Sprocket has some social-media savvy options, as you can use the accompanying HP app to customize your printed snapshots with stickers, text, borders, filters and emojis. <\/p>

You can charge the printer anywhere using the included USB cable, and one charge gives you up to 35 prints, which is more than enough to last you through a fun photoshoot day. The Sprocket is also meant for sharing; you can connect more than one user to it, with each user differentiated by personalized LED lights when using the printer.<\/p>

Sounds fun, doesn\u2019t it? That\u2019s what the HP Sprocket Photo Printer<\/a> is: a device that\u2019s simple to use and made for group outings, vacation snaps or any occasion in which you just want to share photos without needing to wait until you\u2019re home to print. Amazon users recommend it<\/a> as the perfect choice for anyone looking for a portable printing solution, and we give it a thumbs-up as a cool gift for yourself or others!<\/p>
