Polaroid zip, I’ve had mine for going on a decade. Do not get the HP Sprocket!!!!!

10 months ago

My sprocket didn’t work out of the box so I exchanged it, and it still didn’t work, that’s when I got the zip instead!

This was like 10 years ago but I also tried buying the sprocket and returned it twice because it wouldn’t work. It was so frustrating. I don’t remember exactly what the issue was but after exchanging it and it still not working I ended up getting a Polaroid zip instead. It’s still going strong today!

I'm looking for a portable mini printer to print photos from my phone. I have the HP Sprocket and the Polaroid zip, but the quality of the photos isn't great. Do you have any recommendations for portable photo printers that the quality of the photo is the closest to the original?

At least on Android, the Polaroid Zip has been good to me.

i have the polaroid zip printer and i love it! it does add a bit of bulk but i don't mind it, i love being able to have photos right in my planner so i think it's worth it. the refills are a bit pricy though so that's something to consider as part of the overall affordability
