Small portable printe
I have used these types of thermal printers before and recently got this one for my parents who were going on a world cruise! It seems that going on such a long trip requires a surprising amount of paperwork for visas, trips and different documents.
I help my dad to set this up to his phone and it wasn’t as simple as others I have used, the instructions send you to a different app which would not connect to the printer which was odd, in the end I downloaded the app I use for him and it worked, Phomemo it is a white box with a pink mushroom.
Once connected he then struggled to print some documents but I showed him how to save the docs as a PDF in a folder then print using the app to print a PDF. Although a took a while to get him fully up and running it was well worth spending this time so he was sure what to do when away.
The print quality is pretty good, it is thermal so there are limitations but much better than nothing. As we were printing from a roll or paper we did have to fold some prints out as they were longer than an A$ sheet would be. Using the roll did mean that you didn’t have to worry about the prints coming out at a funny angle, I find this with the paper that you need to slowly feed them in and once it takes it might not be square and has odd margins.
The printer battery is good, it lasts a long time, as the roll is inside there is nothing extra to carry so better than sheets in a package.
Perfect for travel, still pricey but if you can use it a lot then its good value.
I absolutely love this product.
I bought it cos my printer had ran out of cartridges and was proving too expensive to buy.
I like this thermal printer
idea. I don’t mind that it’s only prints in black and white cos most of the time I’m printing letters.
The app is great too.
I would definitely recommend this and the price was good.
Fabulous little printe
This is perfect for just labels or straight forward black and white printing. I only need occasional printing so this is perfect. I hated having bulky printers in the past and had constant connection issues. This was so easy to set up, pops back in the drawer when I’m finished. Excellent little printe
Delivered today from unpacking to setting it up printed documents less than 10 minutes amazed by the speed of it no ink needed I love highly recommend this printer and seller thank you next day delivery wow5*****
I’m the sort of person who doesn’t need to print very often. I loathe dealing with inkjet printers and their associated issues (ranging from wifi connection issues through to the cost of ink). The majority of things I need to ever print are labels for packages or text documents. Imagine my delight when I received this.
First, let’s cover the negatives:
– Requires an app (“Phomemo”) on your phone in order to print
– Doesn’t support bluetooth printing from Windows (i.e. you must connect with cable)
– Kind of loud during printing (but not excessively so)
If your intention is to set this in a corner and print to it wirelessly from a PC, this isn’t the right device for you. If you don’t mind connecting it with a cable, then it’s an excellent choice.
The print quality of photos isn’t great, but that’s to be expected from a device like this. You could of course still print photos with it and enjoy some low-res black and white photos, if that’s your thing.
Let’s go over some of the positives:
– It’s tiny: it’s only slightly wider then a piece of A4 paper along its shortest edge
– It can fit a roll of thermal paper inside: One is even included with the printer
– It’s moderately fast at printing documents: Not faster than most modern inkjets, but still acceptable
– Print quality of documents and line art ranges from acceptable to exceptional
This device would be excellent for someone who needs to print a significant number of invoices or labels and isn’t prepared to pay for ink that costs more per ml than almost anything else on the planet.
Overall, I give it 5 stars because it delivers what it promises, and my hopes that maybe Bluetooth would work with Windows isn’t something it promises so I’m not rating it down for that. I’d like to see that supported, maybe via a firmware update, but I’m not holding out hope.
Like many other customers, I do not print often and I am sink of ink cartridges drying up and becoming useless. So instead of buying a laser printer that uses toner (which is expensive, but doesn’t dry out like ink cartridges do), I decided to give this thermal printer a go, considering it was on offer at 118.
I just unboxed it and set it up with my iMac (fairly easy – just download the driver and you should be ready to go – although, I did need to unplug it and plug it in again after installing the driver in order for the Mac to detect it).
The printer comes with a roll of paper which I didn’t use because I bought some thermal paper from Brother instead (search Amazon for B01NAGWBU2).
I have just printed my first document and I have to say, the quality is impressive considering there is no ink, and it is perfectly acceptable for the odd letter you might need to write. The only problem is that the margins seem to be a bit off – it prints very near to the top of the A4 paper, so I ended up having to add a few more empty lines at the top of my letter – once I did that, it printed with the spacing at the top as I expected / wanted.
The printer also includes a carry pouch (which will help to keep it clean) and it also came with a USB A to USB C cable, as well as an adapter – so whilst the printer uses USB C connection type, it does not matter whether your computer uses USB A or USB C because everything you need is in the box (which is a nice touch!).
So in summary, I think this is a good printer but only if it lasts me 10 years (and I will update this review if anything goes wrong in that time!). I only need to print a few things each year, so this seems ideal for me. I love how it’s very small so I can just stick it in my laptop bag, or a cupboard, when not in use.
The build quality of the printer seems very good too – it’s a solid bit of kit – nothing flimsy about it at all.
So for 118, I would recommend this item. If the price was any higher though, I would probably put it towards a laser printer as I don’t think this is really worth more than 120.
Bought this for doing tattoo stencils at conventions and it works great, does exactly what I need it to do fast and easy.
Time will tell how long it lasts but so far so good, glad I didn’t splash for a Brother one!
This is a great little printer. no more spending a fortune on ink and not more big printer that I have to keep getting out to us. . It is less than a foot long works of wifi. paper already supplied. Comes with a pouch and lead for charging up. Just down load an app and select your paper and go. Easy to do from your phone. Would defo recommend it. Well worth the money.
