When that yellow came out in the second one, I almost freaked out 😭
Uses different technology to the others, the Kodak uses what is called Dye-sublimation thermal transfer, so it prints one colour at the time and then the last time it will add a waterproof coating. i am thinking of getting the Canon Selphy that uses the same technology. I have not really looked into the zinc printing technology, which the other printer uses.
Dye-sublimation thermal transfer is used in large printing presses these days as well.
@@zyborg47 can you link that canon printer please
@@93vincentvalentine www.usa.canon.com/internet/portal/us/home/products/details/printers/mobile-compact-printer/cp1300-bkn
That is from the U.S site, and the one i decided to get in the end. It is pretty good to be honest, not that I have used it as much as i thought i would .,
I gasped when I saw it💀
The printer took it back like oops my bad lmao
the hp sprocket just dropped to $70 at Walmart and best buy!
Grace Bahr got mine for £47 which I’m dollars is about $60
Grace Bahr THANK U !
Chloe the Disney DVD Collector and animation maker Where did u buy yours?
I got it for $50 @ Target!
Goddamn it I’m too late for that sale 😭 I’m looking to buy the HP Sprocket 200 but it’s $130 as of now 😩
First is quality, next is cost of the refills and availability. I'm from the Philippines and KODAK is what I found to be the best portable photo printer for my personal use. Refills are a lot cheaper than FUJI brand!
How much is the printer here in PH?
#LifeWithChu: Simple Covers
look up (usd price) to ph money :)
Hi! I'm also from the PH, where do you purchase your refills?
Hello where did you buy yours? Im from the PH too 😊
Does it need ink?
i like the fujifilm..i think out of all, it actually maintains the concept of polaroid pictures.
jamila saturno I also think the photos would look better if they were developed in a black box or at least less light
which is kinda funny becasue the polaroid one didn't!
They aren’t called “Polaroid pictures” Polaroid is a brand not a type of photography instal is just the only one with a nostalgic instant photo frame
I just came in the comments to see y'all's choices 😂
yes me too 😂
same

Yh same
The Kodak printer looks really cool and such a lovely printing process - the picture came out beautifully. It definitely had the best quality for me
The kodak's quality is the best, but it took so long to print
Worth the quality I guess
Anon it’s because the quality is good that it takes long to print
I think the kodak need ink too
@@ranimon_n really? :/
@@donaldducksazzcheeks Think ink comes with the paper combined in one cartridge.
My daughter just purchased the HP and she loves it. She is so into photography so I know it must be the best out of them all. By the way you photo is really pretty☺
Would you recommend I purchase one? I've been looking to invest in one of there and what was you opinion on the price?
Anna Dalziel

Anna Dalziel I would not. I just got mine and the quality is really bad. Color is very off and fuzzy!

I'm glad I found this video! Very helpful. Now I'm having a hard time deciding between the HP and Kodak 🤔
The hp is better👍👍
Joy G me too!
Hp works great
@Karim Boudlal HP do a Sprocket+ which print bigger photos
Sofia Vaughan hp prints 2*3 "
Thanks so much for making this video, now I just have to decide between the Kodak and HP. The Kodak photo quality seem to be better but the price per print is bw 75-85 cents for each vs 50 cents with the HP.
*Loving my **Bestt.Digital** portable Printer. Small enough to carry in my little bag and not at all heavy. Getting a lot of use out of it and having a great time printing on the go. Works for me.*
The HP Sprocket is the best personally but i've already started an instax wall and I want to be consistent with the look :D
Can u use adhesive paper instead of normal paper for HP sprocket?? like to print stickers
@@mina4426 I heard someone say in the comments that the kodak had self adhesive
mina hey I have an HP sprocket and I only use sticky back paper. The HP sprocket brand paper is sticky back
@@Amitylulu
Does it need ink or smthing like that?
@@lavenderbloom9943 hey! I have an older Hp Sprocket and it does not need any ink.
I can't thank you enough for making this video!!!! I have been wanting to purchase a pocet printer for a while but haven't been able to make a decision. I believe I have made up my mind now thanks to you. I definitely will be getting an HP but I might splurge and also get the Fuji.

Which one would you say is the best in your Opinion? I’m thinking of getting one for my gf for her bday
I just ordered the HP Sprocket on Amazon today and I can't wait for it to arrive--- Thanks for making such an informative video!
Thank you for your patience and kindness explaining every detail. I print my photos in Epson Print but always wishing to have a small and travel friendly. Agree with you that HP and Kodak came best in results. 🤗
I got my Kodak in gold for Christmas last year and I highly recommend it! You can add things to your picture through the app and add borders and other cool things and you can get sticky paper to stick it to things and it's very shiny and smooth and hd I love it
can u add polariod border ?
Thank you for taking the time to compare all of these printers! It saves me a lot of time. I'm going to look more into the HP Sprocket and the LG.
***** COMING SOON ***** I am doing a **NEW** version of this video featuring the following:
Polaroid Hi-Print
Kodak Mini 2
Lifeprint
HP Sprocket
Kodak Step
Canon Ivy
STAY TUNED!!!!!
Ayyy perfect timing!
Thanks so much for doing these reviews!
Yay

What about Canon Selphy QX10?
I got a hp sprocket today for Christmas!!! I'm so happy! This was so helpful
HATE the new update on the Polaroid! I can not for the life of me get my pictures to print different shapes like the old app did. Example, square instagram photos get all zoomed in and messed up! It’s caused my so much frustration that I have zero desire to use it. Your video was SO HELPFUL and great to know that i wasn’t alone with the frustration of the new app. Thanks so much for sharing. I immediately ordered the HP printer and so look forward to finish my baby’s journal with it now :)
Have you tried uninstalling the app and downloading and installing the apk file of that older version of the app directly on your phone? (I mean, not installing it through Google Play).
Rob St
Yup that's what I was thinking.
Fujifilm too...
HP is my fav because it's so pretty, CLOSE VIDEO
I'm so glad I found this video! It's much better than getting a polaroid instax mini. You can carefully pick out a picture and edit it beforehand.
This was a great review, but I'm having trouble getting my sprocket to print in the quality as shown here. Mine are much darker than the original photo, and when you adjust the brightness, it prints off shadows in a flat/almost fax like quality. I've figured out how to adjust saturation and hue, but these images here are way better than what I'm getting. Thanks in advance. Just got mine as a gift and am using Samsung S8 to print from.
Was stuck for so long not able to decide which one to get. My absolute favs are hp and fujifilm.. I am more inclined to fujifilm because I love how the photo develops and you can see it. Thanks so much for the comparison
I need those printer to print out KPOP card
Asian lol I thought the same thing lol 😂
Which one the best to print out Photocard tho? Its hard to choose i'm planning on making KPOP Journal 😂😂
Marsyx Same
Asian lol same
Marsyx sameeee lol 😂
You have to put the fujifilm picture in a dark place to get the best results
? Once it's out, put it in a dark place?
@@zabdielisaiahmaynes4345 while its developing
@@RitCore when will it develop?
dark rooms or red light rooms (the LED lights that everyone has work really nice)
@@zabdielisaiahmaynes4345 right after it comes out. While its still white put in in a dark place until the picture comes through
just made me want the hp sprocket even more! thank you for the review! im glad i found it before i made the purchase!
Thorough, detailed, lots of products, and very calming narration - thank you!!! So helpful
Loved the video, next year im going on a year long trip and Im gonna be doing a travel journal, so thank you for being so informative on the printers !!
Nicole, THANK YOU SO MUCH for this video!
Even though you did mention you think that the HP is the best, overall I think that you were VERY fair because each product was shown side by side. I liked how we could see everything from the unit, to the paper, to the app, to the finished product.
This is what made this a perfectly fair comparison. THANK YOU THANK YOU!
TFS, I have been considering one of these. Your comparison has made my decision easier.
Andrea McCray which printer did you decide?
So glad I found this video. I've been going crazy trying to choose one of these, mainly stuck between the HP Sprocket and the Kodak Mini. I'm still kinda stuck, but only because the HP looks slightly more portable than the Kodak. I do love the Kodak quality the best. Thanks!
Appreciate the multi-device review. Helps so much with decision making. Great job!
After watching your video, which was extremely informative and helpful, I decided on the HP Sprocket. And I had just ran across a sale on amazon for about $40, so I’m supremely happy! Thank you for this excellent demonstration!!!!!!!!!!! 💙💙💙
Useful info would have been cost per print for each unit, and how many sheets of paper each one can hold.
th-cam.com/video/riEsj59VZCE/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for taking the time to put this video together. I really liked seeing the time it took to print each photo as well as how the apps behaved. You've really helped me make my choice !!
what did you shoot this video with? it's the best video I've seen, I'm actually able to see the difference in picture quality.
Great review, thank you! I have the LG (before that I had the first edition Polaroid Pogo, with the enormous charger!) and I've been lusting over a Sprocket for no particular reason other than the fact that it is pretty! Seeing this review means I can rest easy that the HP isn't vastly better.
Excellent video. Thank you so much for the comparisons. This has helped me decide which one to go for.
When you said something about charging my phone said "you need to charge" 🤣 lol
Very good review. I was considering a little instant print camera for my 12 year old granddaughter. Her mom is a professional photographer. But maybe one of those mini printers may be a better option instead. This way she can pre view her pictures & add special effects if she prefers on her iPhone first. Thanks again for sharing!📸
Fabulous.. that was SO helpful. I've own the Polaroid Zip and stopped using it because of the poor quality results. You review caused me to try the Zip printer with its new App and firmware upgrade. And the results are much better. I'm not embarrassed to give the prints away anymore. A job well done Nicole.
Nicole, try printing the fuji instax, but after it prints, place the picture upside down. While its white, ,its still absorbing light. There is a possibility that the picture was too white because of it. If you do post a video comparing delveloping the picture a picture right side up and up side down. Please tag me. Would be interesting to see the difference.
Wouldn't more light exposure lead to darker pictures rather than lighter? Just thinking back to my years using a dark room when you had to be really carefull not to give the paper too much light...
I love your video, this really helped me decide and made me want to purchase faster. I love the quality and price of the Kodak but takes too long to print. the sprocket is calling my name because it looks much easier to deal with and the quality is still great!!!!!
Very helpful! I like the Sprocket and Polaroid so far.
Get the sprocket, Polaroid has ruined it with the new app and low quality printing
Wow, an actual review! Thank you! Thumbs up for not just reading the description
I bought the fujifilm printer but the main problem about it is that the color of the picture is very faded which is hard if I want to print an already faded picture. Definitely go with other printers to get your money worth!
Maybe you can do an updated one to see the latest and if the rating has changed

Thanks for making a great video. I know it was long, but there was no wasted time😁 you covered everything I wanted to see about these little wonder machines.
Thank you so much for the video. I already knew I wanted the HP sprocket lol, but now, seeing them working and the results side by side it makes everything easier
Great video and loved the side by side comparison!!! I want the HP Sprocket!
Best review that I’ve seen so far for portable printers!!! Thank you!
I've got the HP Sprocket (following many good review) and it's pretty good except that the saturation and the contrast in the phot has to be higher than what you see to come out "normal" in the print otherwise is too light and colorless.
I really liked everything about this review. I love the combination of your background music with the calm and composed way you talk. Almost soothing. Excellent work. Thanks.
"Ha that rhymes" Lol. Cute!! wOW Thank you so much for doing this video. I was wondering if these printers print decent quality. So glad you showed us. Thank you!!
Thanks for taking the time to make the video! It was very helpful!
This video was so helpful, thank you! I'll be attempting to pick up the HP Sprocket ASAP !!!
Thank you so much for doing this video! It was very helpful to actually be able to see how to operate each app and to see the quality of each photo.
I really need one of these for my journaling works. It should be small, portable, chargeable, with best quality of photos and sticky sheets are must and fast too. I do need to get one of them soon so thankyou so much for this video but I want people to tell me more about which one to go with according to my needs. According to me, I will definitely love to go with the HP Sprocket because I find that one's the best and fulfills all my need of sticky papers too and best for journaling. But I want you people to tell me too.
Thanks Nicole! One of the best reviews I've seen in a while! Awesome work 😀
OMG!!! Thank you for doing this video, I has hesitating on which printer to buy (HP/Polaroid) and with this video you've helped me picked the best printer for me. Please keep posting informative videos. Thanx a bunch!!!!
maria obando which one did u chose?
Hi Trini, I purchased the HP Sprocket and it's great. We recently had a mini vacation and we printed pics for everyone and the image was awesome!!!! Hope this helps you
maria obando thanks you so much! Glad u r enjoying the printer! Have a good day! ❤️
Thank you for making this review! Really good and very helpful. I just purchased the HP Sprocket on Amazon. I already have the Polaroid Zip and you're right, the pictures come out like over-exposed and also quite dark.
So glad I came across this video during my search for which one to get! Decided on the HP between it and the Kodak because the refills are cheaper and there is a cyberweek deal on amazon that makes both appliances cost the same. Super excited to get it!
This was a really helpful comparison for me. There are others now for consideration, but this was a fabulous jump off point. Thank you so much.
Thank you for this awesome video. I'm ordering the Sprocket. I can't wait to get it!!!
Thanks so much for doing this comparison video. I’m right now, going to get one and really wanted to see the true quality of prints from each one. I had really already decided on the sprocket printer but still wanted to make sure. So thanks 🙏
Thank you for this it help me make a decision on which one to get as a Christmas gift just let you know I decided to go with HP
This is the beat video I’ve watched. I really appreciate the time you spent doing it. I’ve been wanting an HP Sprocket and this helped make my decision, thank you so much!
Thanks for doing this video! Would you recommend the Kodak or the HP sprocket purely based on photo quality? From the video it seems like the Kodak has a little bit better quality but it's hard to tell.
i am interested to know this as well!
Based on photo quality alone the Kodak is the best!
are you able to add a white border to the kodak pictures? Sorry if you mentioned this in the video.
the sprocket allows u to add frames, words in different colors and fonts, stickers, and u can pick up photos from camera, socials etc, it recharges in 1 hour. sprocket forever!
I got the sprocket today but i hate the quality so much, the coloring is VERY off and its not anywhere near sharp
Thank you so much for posting such an informative video! I loved how you chose the same photo to print across the board and showed us the final result. This video was so helpful!
I love the Kodak because its just so fun to watch it go in and out 😂
Hi Nicole thanks a ton for this insanely informative video I was set on buying the sprocket until I watched your video I just ordered the Kodak mini for quality. Haven't even heard of it till your review thanks again! 😙
How many prints to do you get from the HP before the battery dies? How many prints from the Kodak before the battery dies?
The HP can print approximately 30 photos per charge.
Hello! Thank you, it was very helpful. I love you mentioned all the prices and their respective cartridges and films.
Have a great day!
Thanks for the review:)
This video is very helpful, cause im looking for a printer with a good photo quality. Im intrested in the HP sprocket and the kodak photo printer
I was looking at these items and trying to decide which one to buy and this video helped so much!!!! Great video!
Having a hard time choosing between Kodak and hp, any advice?
Price per print. Did you buy one after all?
THIS VIDEO HELPED ME ALOT!!!
i didn't know which one to get! my friends and i go to raves a lot and wanted to start our own scrap book, someone we meet had the pollard camera and it was fun to use but to big to carry so we wanted to get a little printer one but didn't know which one to get until we saw this video! thanks so much!!
we going with the HP and the instant 2nd edition for the old fashion look.
I love my LG!
hi what paper you buy for your lg. sorry my english
Thank so much for the well planned comparison of these printers. You did a great job. Have a great day!
Love the video the content is exactly what I was looking for!
Excellent demo hon , Thank You....Hp Sprocket it is for me ! Happy Holiday 🎄🎀🎁⛄
I have the Canon Ivy Mini Printer in the colors white and mint. I got mine at Best Buy. I bought the printer to be able to print photos from my phone to put in a journal as a memory/motivational journal during my workout journey. The journal I got is a Polaroid journal from Barnes and Nobles it was like $13 or something like that and I can’t find that journal online anywhere. When I got my journal in store they only had blue or black color. So I got blue. I also got an extra package of printer paper. I would like to be able to find a case for my printer but I haven’t found one yet for my type of printer.
Super late comment since you uploaded this a long time ago but this video was super informative and I really appreciated it! Lots of detail and very thorough :)
Gahhh.. This is the best video!!! Thank you so much for the review, I was looking for a photo printer and this helped me a lot. I've had my eyes on the Sprocket and I'm sold. I had a quick question though, with the Zink Paper devices, are we able to use any brand as long as they are the Zink Paper or would you recommend that we stick to the brand of the device??
Thank you. :)
Hello! I have used any brand in mine as long as it's Zink paper.
The LG has the most details, look at the green and the detail on the plant next to you and your face shows more details as well, the HP is good too. Great video, thank you for the hard work.
Lg does have some colour difference but if you edit the contrast and all of that, the image quality is amazing! If you don't want to spend too much on a pocket printer, go with lg!
Thanks for making this video. I was right about to buy the Polaroid Zip but this made me change my mind and I'm going to go with the Hp Sprocket. I also saw a lot of recent reviews on amazon saying the new Polaroid app doesn't work properly and the pictures are coming out dark. I'm not expecting perfection, as long as the photos come out decent.
Awesome video. Thank you!

QUAL O SEU NUMERO DE TELEFONE?
This was a great video! Thank you for doing this. I have an LG but my pictures have a yellow tint so I was looking at the HP. You’ve made choice easier.
I don't get why so many people say Polaroid when they mean Fuji Instax. If you try to buy Polaroid film for your Instax camera or printer you're going to get the wrong film. Polaroid isn't a generic name for instant film.
Verdoux007 it is like how many people call all bandages bandaids or call all face tissues Kleenex.
yes it is a generic name...that's why people say it all the time
Yeah but Polaroid and instax instant films are compatible. You can use either film in either brands’ product. Only the Zink paper doesn’t work for non zip printers.
Probably because Polaroid invented the instant camera?
@@c1nico Polaroid and Instax cameras both have a wide variety of films. Some are cross compatible, some aren't.
This was brilliant. I appreciate all the details and prices. Looking forward to getting an HP Sprocket thanks to your video
As I observed HP and Kodak are same output and colour quality base on tablet viewer. I like kodak, But choose HP because its borderless printing.
Awesome and very thorough review of these printer options. Thanks! I had only known about the Polaroid ZIP and I'm so glad I learned about the HP Sprocket!! Thank you thank you thank you!!
Price per ptint would be nice to know too. Thanks for the comparison, very helpful!
Very helpful video, buying my daughter HP sprocket for xmas and this has confirmed that its the best choice.
the fujifilm picture would’ve came out better but you didn’t keep it in a dark area when it was developing, you exposed to really bright lights
I’m curious if you have an upgraded video. I utilized this video to purchase my previous printers and I’d love a new version! Thank you for doing your deep dive unlike anyone else! ❤️❤️❤️
