HP 1AS98A#638 Photo Printer

Wow, how can it be that we now have printers that are smaller than the actual phone they are being sent the picture from, (iPhone 7). Ok lets start by saying that I only noticed this when I was looking at buying another product, which was rather ungainly, ugly and far too retro. This on the other hand looks modern and has a quality feel to it. As above I was very happy with the product once it was removed from the packaging, which in my opinion has gone a bit too far on the looking after the planet front, especially for the price tag. However if this was a review on packaging my star rating would not be five. In the box you get a few associated documents, offers etc, a power cable/recharge cable and ten sheets of the photo paper, (more available on Amazon at a fair price). The printer itself is of a good quality, looks good, feels good and is quite eye catching in the gold and white and prints quickly. The real important thing is how well does it print? I say it actually does a really good job, I mean I am thrown totally by the size and that definitely helped me fall in love with the product but quality is not too bad. The app/interface is really user friendly during use but can on occasion freeze, which requires a restart etc, but this is infrequent. The price varies a little on the colour option that you choose but the price is ok and I was happy to pay it for the product that I got. 5 stars.

Awesome product! I'm amazed by how good this printer is! Easy to set up (like, REALLY easy!), prints rather quickly and the image quality is more than you could ask for in such a small device! I was really impressed with the quality! However, if you want it to look exactly like the picture on your phone - try making the photo slightly cooler since it does print the picture a bit warmer than the original! I love that you only have to put in the photo-paper and then you're set to go - no ink etc that takes ages and always runs out - you just charge it, load it with paper and you are good to go! The app is very simple to use. Also, if you are deciding between this one and the FUJI Instax share - I recommend this one! 1. The instax doesn't have paper with a "sticker" effect, while the HP one have photo-paper that you peel off and can put straight in your traveling journal etc. or just keep them as they are and don't remove it. It's your choice! 2. The instax only prints Polaroid, but with the HP one you can choose wether you want to add on a Polaroid frame - either within the app itself or using some other app/tool. Or you can just print the picture without a frame! 3. The HP is actually cheaper but in my opinion, waaay better! Regarding delivery it was very fast and went excellent without a hitch!

I just love this little machine. I have downloaded the app which was straight forward. You just lift off the cover load in the paper and voila good to go. Prints super cute photos and you can add borders and text via the easy to use app. I like to stick my photos into my journal. A nice way to have actual copies of photos in a digital world. So quick to print. It’s portable, easy to charge and the case offers great protection. This bundle is super good value.

It's a product that needs time to learn how to get the best out of the printer. You will need to learn how to take the blue tint out of the photo with the settings on the app, or on the photo app in which you already have and also add more vibrancy to the colours. It is possible but it takes the time to learn. Incidentally learning how to has improved my ability on how to make photo's pop and be at a higher standard. However, this does mean you will lose a few photo papers or many depending on yourself while you learn. So if you buy pick up more photo stickers than you think you will need. All this aside the printer does its job properly and is something to be happy with owning. One thing I do suggest Is check if you are happy with the size of photo it prints. I would say roughly its 3 inches by 2. If these are too small for you, then this printer is not for you, it does not do larger photo's. The app however does allow for writing and a flare of creativity. All in all I am happy with this, but sort of wished it allows for photos that a bigger, around 4 by 4 or a little larger.

This is a fantastic product & I'm so glad I got it. I was slightly concerned about the reviews complaining about the picture quality; however, I decided to get it anyway. I'm very glad I did because I actually think the picture quality is pretty good. The only thing I noticed is that they come out slightly pinker than on the phone. But this is only apparent when the picture and the phone are directly compared i.e. the pictures don't look pink. This particular bundle is a huge bargain and the case and light photo clip are really nice additions to the printer. I can't comment on durability, since I only got and tested the item today. But so far, so good! Such a great little gadget! I highly recommend to anyone who likes scrap booking!

Bought as a Christmas present for my daughter. It’s a nice looking set and the ease of setting up and printing the phots is great. My daughter loves it. The picture quality is not dslr quality so as long as you aren’t expecting that then you’ll be happy. The only downfall I can see is that this neat little gadget is likely to encourage excessive selfie taking and newpacks of the photo paper will need to be purchased with great frequency. I recommend this set 100%

Easy to use with the Sprocket app, print quality is good, picture is a little fuzzy but there are different layers you can add in the app which makes fun additions to your pics. Super easy to install app and printer paper, lightweight and no inky mess, print time is just a few seconds.

La connexion avec les téléphone se fait facilement Esthétiquement, l’imprimante est superbe Il faut apprendre à jouer un peu avec les réglages pour obtenir de belles photos, surtout avec l’an luminosité car l’imprimante sort les photos plus sombres‘ que sur votre téléphone Une fois le tout prit en main, les photos sont top Ceci fait un très beau cadeau. N’hésitez pas à dire si mon commentaire vous a été utile

Ero rimasta incuriosita da questa stampante sentendone parlare già prima del suo lancio e, soprattutto, ero spesso tentata nell'acquisto di una macchina fotografica instantanea. Ma l'Hp Sprocket ha superato tutte le aspettative. Appena aperto il pacco ho trovato questa stampante tascabile (poco più larga di un normale smartphone), di colore nero e dalla finitura extra lucida elegante e sfiziosa, assieme ad una ricarica di carta fotografica. All'interno, nessun foglio di istruzioni: la Hp Sprocket, infatti, è assolutamente intuitiva e di facilissimo utilizzo. Sul lato sinistro c'è un tasto di accensione, mentre le spie posteriori indicano quando la stampante è accesa (luce bianca) oppure necessita di essere ricaricata (luce rossa), con un cavo usb in dotazione. Per ricaricare la carta, invece, basta spingere leggermente il cassetto superiore con il pollice e inserire la carta con il lato blu rivolto verso il basso. Ho poi scaricato sul mio telefono l'app "sprocket" ed ecco la magia! Si possono prendere le foto dalla galleria del telefono o dai vari social, magari modificandola con filtri, testi, cornici o stickers! La stampa - che avviene tramite bluetooth - è abbastanza veloce, su carta fotografica adesiva di 5x7,6 cm. La novità sta proprio nella carta: non esistono cartucce, perchè grazie alla nuova tecnologia Zink l'inchiostro è direttamente nella carta! La qualità è buona e i colori sono nitidi e lucidi e mi sembrano anche parecchio resistenti, ma è bene ricordare che si tratta di foto istantanee e che, pertanto, nella stampa la qualità un po' si abbassa. Se non ci si aspetta foto super professionali, dunque, l'Hp Sprocket rimane un'ottima scelta. Ho portato la mia Sprocket davvero ovunque: pranzi in famiglia, serate con amici, eventi pubblici e, soprattutto, ho stampato le sorprese da inserire nelle uova di cioccolato che ho realizzato quest'anno e, devo ammetterlo, tutti sono rimasti sbalorditi da queste piccole foto ricordo, tanto da voler conoscere e provare da sè questa stampante. Ho usato talmente tanto la mia Sprocket che ho terminato quasi subito la carta a disposizione e ho quindi ordinato due ricariche nello store Hp (da cui si può accedere direttamente dalla app). Anche in questo caso sono rimasta piacevolmente sorpresa, ho ricevuto il mio ordine in 24 ore! La mia esperienza con l'Hp Sprocket, quindi, è assolutamente positiva e più di qualche amico mi ha confessato di volerla acquistare tanto son rimasti incuriositi! Soddisfatta al 100%.

Une imprimante d'un bon rapport qualité/prix très facile à installer. Elle se recharge assez vite , la mise en place du papier est simple. L'appairage bluetooth se fait en moins d'une minute. Dommage qu'il n'y ait pas de doc sur le logiciel HP Sprocket , mais on arrive à trouver des conseils avisés pour améliorer la qualité d'impression sur le site HP si besoin. J'ai imprimé à partir d'un sony Xpéria A2 sans retoucher la photo via HP Sprocket , la qualité était vraiment top.

Das versprochene Update der Rezension (12.12.2017): Das Update der App für iOS 11.2 kam schneller als erwartet und wie erhofft noch vor den Weihnachtsfeiertagen, nämlich am 09.12.2017. Nun ist der Drucker auch unter iOS 11.2 voll funktionsfähig und es macht Spaß, mit der App Bilder zu bearbeiten und auszudrucken. Auch das Update der Firmware funktioniert nun tadellos. In der neuen Version sind nun auch die vielfach gewünschten Rahmen passend zur weihnachtlichen Jahreszeit integriert. Das Druckbild ist besser als ich erwartet habe und den Kindern macht es immens Spaß, Bilder zu verändern und direkt auszudrucken. Ich erhöhe insofern meine vorherige Wertung von 1 Stern (wegen kompletter Arbeitsverweigerung) sehr gerne auf 5 Sterne! Hier die ursprüngliche Rezension: Als Gimmick für die Weihnachtstage, habe ich mir den HP Sprocket bestellt. Voller Vorfreude wollte ich das Gerät heute (05.12.2017) in Betrieb nehmen. Habe mir extra noch 40 Extra-Blatt des Zink-Papiers geordert, weil auch die Kinder sicherlich Freude am ausdrucken des selbstklebenden Fotopapiers haben werden. Der Sprocket wird sowohl vom iPhone, wie auch vom iPad in den Bluetooth-Einstellungen erkannt. Also gekoppelt und los geht der Spaß... Pustekuchen: Die Sprocket-App funktioniert zunächst, doch sobald man zum eigentlichen Zweck, dem Ausdrucken von Fotos kommt, versagt der Drucker den Dienst. Allem Anschein nach hängt er in einer Endlosschleife bzw. funktioniert die Bluetooth-Verbindung nicht. Es wurde mir angezeigt, dass ein Firmware-Update vorliegt; also habe ich dieses über die App heruntergeladen und versucht dieses Update aufzuspielen. Mit dem gleichen Resultat: Endlosschleife bzw. keine Bluetooth-Verbindung. Auch das Zurücksetzen des Druckers führte nicht zum Ziel. Nach einer Stunde habe ich dann einmal auf der HP-Support-Seite zum Sprocket nachgeschaut: Hier häufen sich die Beschwerden frustrierter iOS 11.2 Nutzer! Fazit: Momentan ist der Drucker für einen Apple-User mit aktuellem iOS nicht nutzbar und somit, wie schon im Betreff vermerkt, nichts weiter als ein teurer Briefbeschwerer. HP äußert sich auf der Support-Seite leider nicht dazu, wann das nächste Update der App erscheint, insofern bleibt mir nur ein Stern zu vergeben. Gerne werde ich meine Rezension anpassen, sobald ein Update vorliegt (meine Hoffnung ist noch vor Weihnachten)!

Se configura en 5 minutos en mi viejo LG G2, sin problemas, imprimiendo enseguida y con muy buena calidad. He impreso exteriores e interiores, con colores fuertes, y hay efectivamente una pequeña pérdida de saturación, como comentan otros usuarios, pero a mi me parece totalmente aceptable. Es para lo que es, como fueron las polaroid en su momento, tener la foto impresa nada más hacerla. Son fotos pequeñitas (aconsejo dibujar con una regla el tamaño en un papel para hacerse realmente a la idea del tamaño), con lo cual las fotos con las calidades tan altas que sacan los móviles hoy en día se ven muy bien de resolución. Muy contento de momento. Es un capricho algo caro, eso es cierto.
