When I was young I spent a lot of time with my family while growing up. We would get together as often as we could and enjoy each others company while doing things like cooking together, playing games, watching television, etc. During those times there was a lot of silliness and laughter and I remember wishing I could capture those moments and relive them over again.
Back then cameras were becoming pretty popular but with disposables, the process of getting memorable pictures printed was a little more lengthy than it is these days. Technology has come a long way since then, although we still have to wait at least 30 minutes to an hour to have pictures developed. Let’s not forget about having to travel to a local store (like Walmart) just so I can print photos. At least that was the way of things until HP launched their awesome innovation HP Sprocket.
HP Sprocket 2-in-1
I’m sure my readers have seen or coveted a Bluetooth photo printer at one time or another since their release. I will admit that they were always something I wanted and have always found very appealing but it wasn’t until I found out about these printers that connected straight to your SMARTPHONE that I really found myself wishing for one. The HP Sprocket does exactly that and now that we have Josiah King in our lives, capturing memorable moments on film is more important to us than ever, so, I was beyond thrilled to be able to review the HP Sprocket Photo Printer!
The HP Sprocket allows my husband and I to print our most cherished moments straight from our phones. No more going to the store and waiting to have them printed, we can simply capture and print. Talk about convenience! This portable device is roughly the size of a phone so you can take it ANYWHERE you go. Sharing your printed photos is as easy as hitting a button and distributing photos to your friends/loved ones who want a copy. You can even take the photos and turn them into stickers, which I think is pretty awesome.
HP Zink Photo Paper
Each snapshot measures 2×3 inches and allows you to not only print pictures that you’ll cherish for a lifetime but also things such as documents, and web-pages of lab quality. Being able to do this at home, on the go, at work, etc. is so convenient and eliminates an extra trip as well as the processing time that you’d have to go through if you had to run them into your local printing establishment.
With its Bluetooth technology, the HP Sprocket connects directly to your devices wifi/data and uses an included 10-pack of printing paper to churn out beautiful photos. Even your friends can connect to your Sprocket and share/print their own photos captured when you’re together! For my husband and I, the HP Sprocket has been a wonderful way of capturing the milestones of our little one and printing them instantly. As the light of our lives, we don’t take any moment with Josiah for granted and have loved being able to print photos quickly for framing or sharing!
To find out more about the HP Sprocket and its siblings, you can visit HP’s website or purchase it online via Amazon.com and BestBuy.com or a local Best Buy store near you. Start capturing the moments and preserve the memories – no matter where you are

January 29, 2018I’m terrible for printing off photo’s I would always forget to go to the store and download my photo’s I’m great at posting photo’s to social media, but not printing them out. I love that technology allows us to print on the go,
Joanna @ Everyday Made Fresh
January 29, 2018I remember dropping off film, and having to wait for almost a week for it to come back. Then I remember when some places started doing the one hour photo. That was awesome! This generation though seems to be about instant gratification. That is where this product fits in perfectly.
