I have the Polaroid Zink printer from years ago. One thing to make note of is to NOT put direct heat on the prints. The Zink paper is thermosensitive, the printer doesn't have ink in it, the paper makes the colors based on temperature from the printer. Don't run the prints through a hot laminator or under a heat embossing tool, or you'll end up with mud.
I was on the verge of buying an instant camera (it was in my Amazon cart) when I stopped to watch this video. SO glad I did! The Sprocket printer has so many more capabilities and features, PLUS you can edit photos and have more control over what you print -- this is a real special-paper-saver. Thank you for sharing!
Use the PicFrame app to get your photos sized for printing. On that app you can remove the white borders completely or thicken them, whatever you want.
Thank you for this video! I got a sprocket for Christmas and I've been afraid to use it much because of the paper cost. Thanks for the great ideas and ways to get the most out if it!
I've had my sprocket for about a year and I LOVE it. I use it all the time to make fun mini photo's for my journal. I use the free Photofy app. for my collages. Very easy app to use. I usually do 3 or 4 images any smaller it gets to small for me ! LOL . Best gift I ever bought myself !
Oh thanks James, I was feeling pretty crappy today and this video just brightened my day, i cracked up laughing when you blew away the rubber residue and your little photos went everywhere and when you drew the little hanging for the picture frame, so exactly how mine would turn out-all wonky. You could say I'm a bit addicted to pocket printers i have a sprocket and the new Prynt printer plus two instax printers and two instax cameras, yep Im a gadget girl. Do I use them as much as I should? No way. I have always wondered how to get the teeny tiny photos never would have thought to size them at 6x4 thank you I am now going to get them out and play.
I love this idea !!! Too cute !!! Polaroid was always expensive and I HAD to have one of those even when I had just gotten my Canon AE 1 !!! SPLURGE ON !!!
Such a great, informative video! :) and I love the journal inspiriration you showed. Your voice is very calming to listen to, which made the video even more enjoyable :) thank you
I have the Polaroid printer. I bought it with a coupon so I got it for a steal at Michaels. The photo packs aren't bad with a coupon either. That's where that 60% off coupon matters....lol. Thanks for showing me how to utilize my printer for journaling.
Thanks for the great ideas, I got a sprocket for Christmas and haven’t used it much yet. But now after watching this I’m ready to start journaling and printing.
I did buy the option to change the borders, as I use pic stitch as well. I highly recommend it. It’s a one time purchase and it is fantastic. Highly recommend.
Perfect timing...I bought a Sprocket a few weeks back and was going to look for an app to print multiple photos on one sheet. It works great! Thanks much! :-)
i just ordered a second hand one for my school notes and came across this video! I love love love your personality and laugh it’s so contagious!!! My trash cat ❤️
I just got one of these and the current software lets you do collages. You might want to edit each photo separately to get the brightness where you want it before you select them and put them in a collage. Warning: be sure you only have your collage photo selected before you print so you don't get each one separate AND the collage cos no or wants to waste that much photo paper!
A great lover of all things Japan too, and have been considering the sprocket plus for travel and in the use of my passport size Midori, worrying that the plus size would take a whole page but you've shown me a way around this, love your creativity! Thanks for the great video.
I was wondering about the little pics you had in the Japan notebooks. I love that you can make different sizes and stencils with the apps! Yeah, it might be a must now that I see it in action!
Fun video! I love the cute little pic of Oliver The Garbage Cat...don't tell him I said that...well, maybe you should if it will embarass hi enough to stop eating out of the garbage. You didn't talk me into buying a Sprocket but I still want one even more!
Love this idea! I have been loving my sprocket but the pics take up more space than I'd like in my planner and yes, the paper is expensive. I"m trying this out right now. So excited! Thank you for sharing. I should have known, "there's an app for that".
I have the Polaroid printer and it is so easy to use. The cover for it broke so ended up buying the HP 2-1. I like it but having a problem printing. I can't stop it from printing the same picture over and over again no matter what I do. I have tried everything trying to find a solution and can't find anything on it. My friend sent me a PDF file that shows how to use the print but there is nothing that addresses my issue. I just reset the HP 2-1 print thinking maybe that work resolve my issue but now it won't print and I can't power it off. This HP 2-1 printer didn't even come with a Guide as my Polaroid printer did. I loved your video and hope you can help.
Love this. Makes me want to pull out my polaroid zip printer and give it another shot. I bought it last year on a whim and got a pack of paper for free. Then I didn't like how the images came out. And found out the sprocket is well known to have the best image print outs among the portable printers. I was upset with myself. I have a collage app I use for instagram and its free. It's called photogrid on android. I never thought to try multiple pics on one page. Or play with the settings before printing. So I'll give it a go again.
OMG James, I just bought my Sprocket tonight and of course you would have the exact video I'm looking for on your channel. I just did the mini pics from Pic Stitch and its amazing LOL I love it. Thank you so much for always showing us way around things and also to save money. Much appreciated, BTW I LOVE your channel :)
Wow, what an underappreciated channel! Just found you and I love this video. Great information. Love your travel journals and the little paper cutter. Getting smaller prints from the Sprocket to do those collages is inspired! Subscribed! :D
Hey James! I use pic stitch also and refuse to buy the borders pack. If you click in to borders, and then back out, mine offers me a chance to use the borders if I watch an ad. It only lasts for "one photo", but if you don't go back out all the way and just change the photos from the last one after you saved it, you can continue to get bordless. I hope that makes sense! I am too cheap to buy an app and I've found that pic stitch works best, especially once borders are gone!
Ahhh, I loved this so much! What I love even more is that little character sticker thing you put on the cat photo😂😂 I am pretty sure that is the character of 'dog' in chinese or japanese so I just found it so ironic. Love this vid though!
Just bought one of these at JB HiFi. I went in looking for a Canon Selphy and there was no stock so I got this. Thanks so much for your review. Still thinking if I will keep it.
Hi James, just want to ask what size or where did you get the travel journals? It seems half the size of a5 and would love to use as a travel journal too. Thanks
They're standard Travelers Notebook inserts - I think the actual size of them is about 8.5 x 4.5 inches. Here is a link to what they are: amzn.to/37ErUuQ
Of all the information on the Sprocket printer , nothing is mentioned about the adapter that is not included can I use my phone charger adapter or do I need to buy one , if I have to buy one where do I get this from .
It's actually cheaper your paying for paper for your not paying for ink there is no in convolved with the printing most printers have think so yet the pay extra with paper and ink
I’m not sure, you might be able to link your social media in the app? Mine is so old now, I would probably just screenshot whatever I wanted to print, crop it and print it that way :)
If you download Instants itunes.apple.com/gb/app/instants-photo-edition/id947399666?mt=8 - it'll create little polaroids for you! Obviously it takes up some of the photo real estate making your pics smaller, but they look great when you do it! I also make mini pics using my sprocket - I loved the honeycomb one and must buy PicStitch so I can use that!! My only issue with my sprocket is that it prints slightly heavy in the red spectrum and I don't know how much to adjust it to get it right and experimenting with the settings could get - as you say - expensive!

I just got a Hp Sprocket and I'm so excited to start scrapbooking/journaling! Love this video, very clever idea and love your personality!
BestBuy often has the 20 pack for $4.99 American :) . I go nuts and buy all of their stock . I’m a scrapbooking maniac !!!! Rawrrrrr
That is insanely cheap :o I hope to find something like that too
@@amara560 you can buy it online I have often get them for free cuz I use my points and sometimes pay nothing or 5 dollars for like 60 sheets
YUMMY CUPCAKES do you know if they’re still that cheap

I have a zip printer that I haven’t been using and you have just re-energized me to pull it back out! Great video!
Thank you James, very enjoyable to watch and listen to you. Love your laugh
Wonderful tutorial! Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful video . This is really neat! I might buy one for myself
Now I'm so jealous of your travel journals!!!! I have this instant printer and use it for my travel journals, but yours look sooooo so much better.
Your travel journals are epic!
Thank you for this video. I enjoyed learning about the app which will allow me to get more use out of the photo paper with my sprocket.

You can get rid of the borders on picstitch by going into resize then dragging the circle up the top to make it borderless 👍🏻
Thank you for sharing this video, the apps and the ideas !
I think i bought the sprocket today becouse of your video ..! But I wanted it for a year now. Love the video and love your laugh ;)
You had me at “What do bees do?” Subbed! ❤️
That is so cute
You gave me some new ideas. Wonderful to use in my journals. Thank you so much. 🥰👍

🤣 first vid I've seen of yours & love you already!
Cute
I love my sprocket. Now I’ve learned some tricks thanks to you and your followers.
Ahh the irony! I found your video because I am considering buying one of these to take to Japan, hahaha
I got a Selphy for Christmas which is great for journalling! The Sprocket looks heaps more portable though!
Also, thanks for sharing the link in the description 😊

Thank you so much so showing me the free app. I love the idea of smaller images and saving paper:)
Your journals ar awesome & your art! Cute little case!
The best collage app that I have been using since two years ago is photogrid. It's a cool app with lots of options.
Great info thank you 🥰
Great video! I love my little sprocket printer. You’ve reinspired me to use it more in my journaling. 😊

Shelby D Tried it now, and it works perfectly! Thanks for the tip/help!!! 😃👍💖
I've been dying for a sprocket! 💕💕 thanks for posting this
That thing is awesome.
Thank You James for the apps . I will give them a try. I love my sprocket. It’s fantastic..... as you are... thankyou again...
This was a great video, some nice tips for using my sprocket. I can you really enjoy journaling. Tfs 😊
Ahhh, I loved this so much! What I love even more is that little character sticker thing you put on the cat photo😂😂 I am pretty sure that is the character of 'dog' in chinese or japanese so I just found it so ironic. Love this vid though!
Im mostly will be using it for memories. And only get the papers when they are on sale if ever they are.
Just bought one of these at JB HiFi. I went in looking for a Canon Selphy and there was no stock so I got this. Thanks so much for your review. Still thinking if I will keep it.
I use PhotGrid app with my LG printer And find it easy to use and it is free xx
Thanks! That’s really helpful! I’m thinking of getting one of these so it’s useful!
I use the Project Life app to make my collages. Very easy to use.
Ok so might think I’m crazy but Sams Club has 3 packets of 20 for a total of 60 prints for $19.99....soooo cheap and saves a ton!!!! ☺️
Thanks for sharing. :)
Amazing video!
Hello, thanks for the video. I just got a printer. I’d love to find a case like yours but maybe they don’t make them anymore. Any ideas? Thanks
Try the MOLDIV app so you can get rid of the white borders
Jona Wiersma hi
I'm loving your Gelatoni case! 😍 how much was it and did you purchase it this year?
Very helpful, thank you
Love movie pass! We watch a movie a day!!!
Thank you for this ! I was looking for a nice pocket instant printer, i think i just found teh pefect one :)
Hi James, I’m watching this in 2022 and wondering how the photos look now after 4 years? Have they faded at all?
Hi James, just want to ask what size or where did you get the travel journals? It seems half the size of a5 and would love to use as a travel journal too. Thanks
They're standard Travelers Notebook inserts - I think the actual size of them is about 8.5 x 4.5 inches. Here is a link to what they are: amzn.to/37ErUuQ
@@JamesBurkeCreative thank you will purchase a few
I love my printer too :) I use the project life app to make the 4 little prints on one, without the white borders :)
OOooo I have this app maybe its about time I actually opened it and see what it can do.
It's a really good little app to use - you can just print them off at the shops too if you don't have a printer :)
I just printed of a photo so cute thank you
Think it's funny I just got my Sprocket in the mail today 😂😂😂
It’s fate! 😆😆💛
I have been using picsart photo studio app for my collage. It's free and user friendly.
I use "Pic Jointer". it's also really good and you can get rid of the framing.
There is pic collage and it’s free and you can take the borders away on that app.
Movie pass is awesome! I hope it stays in business.
Where did you get the cute carrying case?
Of all the information on the Sprocket printer , nothing is mentioned about the adapter that is not included can I use my phone charger adapter or do I need to buy one , if I have to buy one where do I get this from .
Use photo grid it is way better
💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
It's actually cheaper your paying for paper for your not paying for ink there is no in convolved with the printing most printers have think so yet the pay extra with paper and ink
Sarah Chang I’m planing on buying it, I agree with you if I print on a normal printer is expensive so I may get one of this instead.
Where did you purchase the book from ?
Love you James!!! Hugs Wendy
I want a movie pass!!! LOL!!!
Thank you so much, James. I've been looking at all of these little printers!!! Very helpful!!!
Can you print from social media?
I’m not sure, you might be able to link your social media in the app? Mine is so old now, I would probably just screenshot whatever I wanted to print, crop it and print it that way :)
