HP has announced the launch of a new printer which is designed to print your photos, the HP Sprocket.
The Sprocket is designed to be a portable printer that fits in the palm of your hand and you can print photos direct from your smartphone or tablet.
Features and Functionality
The HP Sprocket is not just any portable printer; it is a compact, stylish device that brings your digital memories to life. Measuring just a few inches in size, it easily fits into your pocket or bag, making it incredibly convenient for on-the-go printing. The device connects seamlessly to your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth, allowing you to print photos directly from your camera roll or social media accounts.
One of the standout features of the HP Sprocket is its use of HP ZINK® (Zero Ink) Photo Paper. This innovative technology eliminates the need for ink cartridges, as all the color required for printing is embedded in the paper itself. The result is vibrant, glossy photos that are smudge-proof, water-resistant, and tear-resistant. Additionally, the photos have a peel-off backing, turning them into stickers that you can use to decorate bags, scrapbooks, journals, and walls.
Target Audience and Use Cases
HP envisions the new device finding popularity with teenagers and millennials who are drawn to fun, stylish gadgets that might be a hit at social events. In fact, that’s precisely where HP sees Sprocket finding its biggest following – at parties and other gatherings where fun-seekers might be taking selfies or looking at social media posts that they would like to print out, share, and take home with them.

The HP Sprocket makes this possible, adding a tangible element to our increasingly digital lives. It’s also perfect for travel enthusiasts who want to create a physical travel journal on the go, or for students who want to personalize their dorm rooms with photos of friends and family.
The Sprocket app, available for both iOS and Android, enhances the user experience by offering a range of customization options. You can add borders, emojis, and text to your photos before printing, making each print unique and personal. The app also allows you to create photo collages and even scan printed photos to view additional content, such as videos or digital albums.
