Pink Hue on Pictures printed with Sproket

[Pinggay]

I printed the same picture from my phone on the Sproket and then on a Zink Happy printer and then picture is perfect on the Zink Happy but on the Sproket it has a pink tint.

This seems to be a common problem with the Sproket.

I have done the calibration and used the HP paper pack.  Will there be a resolution to this common problem?

Hello, @Pinggay – Hope you are well 🙂

Thanks for reaching out on HP Support Forums. I’d like to be of your assistance!

I understand that you are having print quality issues with your new HP Sprocket. I will certainly do my best to find you a solution!

Let's first try to update the printer firmware. On your mobile device, make sure it is connected to the Internet, and then open the HP Sprocket app. If there is a firmware update available, a firmware update screen displays. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the update. Restart the Sprocket and then try printing.

If the issue still persists, go to http://hp.care/2ilvn9u and perform the steps mentioned under "What can I do to improve print quality?".

The last step is to completely reset the sprocket. On the printer, locate the reset button near the charging port, insert a straight pin into the reset button access point, and then press the reset button for 3 seconds to reset the printer.

Once done, reconnect the printer via Bluetooth and then try to print.

Please let me know if this resolves the issue, or if you require further assistance.

Good luck 🙂

I tried all those things and it didn't help.  Still have a pink hue on the prints.  If that issue cannot be resolved, I will just have to return the Sprocket.
