The HP Sprocket Photo Booth is currently discounted for Cyber Monday, offering a convenient solution for party hosts who want to streamline entertainment and capture memories without constant effort. Originally priced at $600, it’s now available for $510 at Amazon and other retailers.
Streamlined Party Entertainment
This device automates photo capture and printing at events. It’s designed to be either placed on a buffet or mounted on a wall, with a slim profile despite its functionality. Users can create event-specific groupings for photos, with custom labels (like “Soupsgiving”) appearing on some frame designs. Photos can be instantly printed or downloaded via QR code, stored within the device under the event name.
The Sprocket Photo Booth can even accommodate large groups – up to six adults and two toddlers have been photographed in a single frame. Guests have reportedly found the price tag justified given the convenience it provides.
Cost and Accessories
While the device itself is a splurge, the Cyber Monday discount makes it more accessible. However, users must also factor in the cost of Zink photo paper, which runs about $40 for 50 sheets. These sticky-backed prints can curl if not applied to a surface immediately.
