HPSprocket 3.5 x 4.25” Zink Sticky-Backed Photo Paper (50 Pack) Compatible with HP Sprocket 3x4 Photo Printer

Great

So - Good colour, good detail - Better colour reproduction that the Sprocket Select, and of course, prints much bigger. Actually, even compared to a 4-pass printer, the details are all there, just a little less vibrant. Weight and portability of the printer and the paper packs means it's a no brainer to take on holiday with you. Still isn't anything approaching water-resistant, photos are easy to stain or damage with moisture.

Nice for getting quick pics printed, ( had to hide it from granddaughter she would have printed all of her Facebook contents lol)Bit pricey for refill paper.

The charges very slow gets hot very quickly

The battery literally doesn't work. It's like there is no battery in the printer.The photo quality is not good. It's all dark photos.

All my pictures are extremely arched almost don’t go in the printer without me pressing the center flat. Haven’t tried to see if they’ll even print on them yet.

This is a 'Zink' (= Zero Ink) paper and its main advantage is that combined with the HP Sprocket 3 x 4 printer will give you a good quality print is a very quick time.I have been a professional photographer and I am familiar with all types of printing from the old 'wet' developing and printing film days, spending may an hour in the darkroom, to modern printing using a printer and 'Photoshop' for editing.You have to judge quality on the end results and of course using 7-colour or more inkjet printer will give you the best results followed by the '4-Pass Dye Sublimation' method being second best, then finally Zink prints, which are akin in quality to the Polaroids of old.Having said that "Zink" are OK for what they are, and definitely have a place in the market, for instance parties or gatherings where you have taken a picture on your mobile phone and want to print it out there and then to give to a person or persons at the party, and I have done this a few times at Christmas's in the past with a Zink printer and also with my bigger 6x4 Dye-Sub printer too, but that is a bigger/heavier printer and involves a lot more 'faff', these Zink printers are smaller and quicker and easily fit in a pocket, so much more convenient.I am not a photography 'snob' and first had photography as a hobby at the age of 10, then professionally later in life, and it is all about getting results suitable for the occasion, and I am sure my clients wouldn't be impressed if I had turned up with a Zink printer at their wedding, but equally my relatives were impressed when I produced Zink prints at our Christmas party.I now no longer want or have to carry big cameras with a bag of different lenses and I am more than happy to use a smaller and easy to carry medium priced camera and I can get equally good photos from it as well, this is because photography equipment has changed so much, not to mention mobile phones are getting better by the day, although personally I only use one to take a photo in an emergency... at the moment that is.So where does this all leave this paper and it's associated printer then ?Well believe it or not, both printers and Zink paper can vary from printer/paper manufacturers, and I did a test on a variety of printers with their correct manufacturers paper, and I was really surprised to find there IS a variation between them all... some produce a warmer or colder print than others, and that was using the same print without any tweaking in the app at all, but by tweaking the app you can achieve virtually the same result from any of them, it just required a little more effort.Conclusion :What I will say is that this paper and it associated printer produced the best results, FOR ME, straight out of the box, that is not necessarily saying you will agree with that of course, as we all see photographs differently.I must say though I prefer the 3"x4" size to 2"x3" by a mile, but once again it depends on where you want to use them as well, I suggest a scrapbook would probably be better for 2"x3" prints, whilst a frame or album would be better with 3"x4" prints.So, I give this paper an all-round rating of 5 stars for all the Zink papers I have used and tested but it is up to you to make up your own mind though.Hope this review has given you some useful information.
