Hi @NUTILE23,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to assist you.
Yes, Lifeprint ZINK 2x3 photo paper should work with your HP Sprocket 200, as both printers use ZINK (Zero Ink) technology and typically share compatibility with standard 2x3 ZINK photo paper. However, there are a few important points to consider:
Key Compatibility Factors:
Blue Smartsheet: The ZINK paper pack includes a blue Smartsheet that calibrates the printer. Ensure you use the blue Smartsheet from the Lifeprint pack for your HP Sprocket. Each pack of ZINK paper is calibrated slightly differently, and using the wrong Smartsheet can lead to print quality issues.
Brand-Specific Optimization: While the paper might physically fit and function, some printers are optimized for their branded ZINK paper. You may notice minor differences in color accuracy or print quality when using Lifeprint ZINK paper in your HP Sprocket.
Printer Firmware: Keep your HP Sprocket's firmware updated. Compatibility or performance with third-party ZINK paper can sometimes improve with firmware updates.
Steps to Try:
- Insert the Lifeprint ZINK paper into your HP Sprocket 200.
- Use the Smartsheet from the Lifeprint pack for the first print.
- Test print an image to verify print quality.
