A:AnswerThe Sprocket is rechargeable through a Micro USB, connects to your phone through Bluetooth, and requires Zink / HP photo paper to work. That means you don't need ink because Zink's proprietary printing technology puts crystals on every sheet that show up as specific colors when they're heated up. If the photos were taken in a vintage setting or style they would print that way.
A:AnswerAnything that is bluetooth capable, can be linked to the device. It does not use ink. You purchase a pack of print paper that has the ink built in each sheet. Those can be found at Bestbuy as well. No ink needed. Just the print sheets.
A:AnswerYes it has a built in. rechargeable battery. It comes with a USB cable that plugs into the side of the device and can be connected to a computer or other device with a USB port for charging.
A:AnswerAs long as the device has the app you can connect it. We used it for a selfie spot (photo booth) and it was a big hit. We had multiple users/devices.
A:AnswerThe quality is amazing! I find it does give a hint of a red tone on skin tone depending on the lighting in the picture. I've found instagram filters help with that such as Gingham & Valencia.
A:AnswerThere is only one finish available, but it is matte. You can apply filters, stickers, borders and more using the HP Sprocket app before printing your custom images.
A:AnswerUnfortunately no, the HP Sprocket is designed to use the HP ZINK (Zero-Ink) sticky back paper. You do not have to peel the back off, if you do not want to!
