HP Sprocket Panorama Instant Portable Color Label & Photo Printer (Grey) Starter Bundle with case Zink roll

The printer itself is amazing, once you know how to, the rolls are easy to replace, the card for the quality is easy to place and everything works brilliantly. The quality of the photos I’ve printed are amazing, I also have another sprocket (the 2 in 1) and this beats that quality massively. However there’s one downside- which is the case that is included for this sprocket. It isn’t HP branded, in my opinion it is an awful case for this printer. The printer hardly fits in the case as shown above in the bundle, and you would think it would be a good protective case, where it is just flimsy and only just zips up with the sprocket inside of it which is a shame. I’m now going to have to buy another case, which is another cost added on top of the bundle itself. If that minor error was fixed with a harder case to actually protect the printer itself, it would be a whole lot better. My advice is if you want this bundle, buy the printer and paper roll separately and then buy a different protective case for it. Other than that, the printer works amazingly and everything else is fine, it is just the case that is a massive let down.

The nice thing is there are instructions, however, not very detailed. I had to play with it a little to finally get it to work. The hardest part of the set up is getting it to link to the phone, after that, loading the paper and printing was very simply. There is no ink cartridges for this printer because the printer paper is activated through the printer technology. The print is decent and looks better when you take the picture in a well lit room. The printer paper is a little expensive, but that's because it has the ink technology in it and paper is a sticker too. Overall I'm happy with the purchase.

The box came with the tape undone, so I suppose the box has been opened before. The HP Sprocket Panorama already had a zink roll inside, but it was almost used. I think I received a 2nd hand product. The printed photos show lines/artifacts no matter how much I use the cleaning sheet to clean the HP Sprocket Panorama. The papaer gets jammed often.

Here's what I like: -First off, it's pretty easy to use and the instructions are good. They also were written by someone who knows the English language well. The Quick Start details how to load the paper and prepare it for printing. Download and open the app, start Bluetooth, make choice, and hit print. My video demonstrates using the app, the actual printing take place, and the result held close to the camera for your inspection. -As you might imagine, the resolution and color of the prints are not superb, but they are good enough to justify the cost of this machine. I do a lot of photography and printing and the results are by no means bad. They're better than I expected. -I like that I can peel off the back of the print and stick the photo where I like. And it's easy to lift off and stick it somewhere else. I don't know how often it will continue to stick but I've moved one 5 times with no problems. -The printer has an internal battery that's charged by usb, so you need not always plug it in for it to work. The things I didn't like have nothing to do with the printer or the prints. However: -A couple of unexpected ads for apps that open when I thought I was looking at the "HP Panorama" app misled me until I realized the problem. -I wish the storage case for the printer and accessories was bigger. I don't feel comfortable stuffing an extra roll of paper into it. In conclusion, this printer and the technology it uses is better than a toy. The prints and the flexibility of adding text, etc., look quite good and most people will be satisfied. I think kids can have the most fun with it. But I'm not a kid and I enjoy printing pictures I can stick on things quite a bit myself. Recommended for all ages.

The printer was easy to set up and connected easily with Bluetooth. Compact and easy to use. But the printer can only be used for a short time before it shuts down because it overheats. The pictures are great quality and the printer is quick. I love the paper that it prints on with the sticker option. The fact that I don't have to mess around with ink is great. Sublimation is the way to go. I wish the printer didn't overheat so often but then again I am using it for a photo booth.

I bought this product as a Christmas gift for my mother. It worked well for 3 weeks, then started to give issues. It started with a blue line being printed on her pictures and labels, and then started to jam if she went to print more than one item. I naturally tried tk get it replaced and i have been just given a run around so far. This product definitely wasnt worth the 180 dollars that they are asking.
