Innovation throughout
Extending the award-winning Sprocket design, the 2-in-1 is the perfect gift: small and light enough to fit in a purse or pocket, it produces stunning 2x3” stick-able snapshots or social media photos in less than a minute. Also announced today is the Sprocket Plus, which offers 30% larger photos so it’s easier to include everyone, with the biggest photos and thinnest design ever from a Sprocket, and on the market today.
The free to download, quick-and-easy HP Sprocket App for iOS and Android lets users easily print their photos with simple two-tap process: select a photo and print a photo. That’s it! To get more creative, personalize photos with frames, emojis, text, stickers, filters, and more. Connect social media accounts to the HP Sprocket App and instantly turn any of those photos into colorful prints, too. The HP Sprocket App continues to deliver innovative features like a photobooth mode for those silly moments with friends, getting creative with a tile print, and even incorporate your own hand-drawn stickers into the app. Whether you are looking for a simple print or bringing your creative A game, the HP Sprocket App delivers.
With today’s announcements, and across the entire Sprocket product family, HP has also updated the mobile experience to incorporate augmented reality technology (AR) in ways that help everyone tell deeper stories that bring to life Sprocket prints. With the “Relive Memories” feature, users can simply scan a photo via the Sprocket app and it automatically attaches to a video—from your phone or social media feed related to that photo—that plays magically in AR on the photo. To help share a richer story, swipe once to instantly see all the photos from that location or date, then swipe again to unlock content about the locale. Suddenly, Sprocket pictures become a celebration of the whole moment.
The prints are still produced using ZINK Zero Ink™ Technology, which means all the color required for printing is embedded in the HP photo paper itself. It delivers ready-to-share snaps that are sticky-backed, smudge-proof, and water- and tear-resistant.
