I was a bit sceptical about this when I got it, but needed something to print out some headers/themes for an interactive workshop when I’m away from home. I printed two test documents:- one via my phone using bluetooth, the other using a cable. It was far easier and a better, bolder print using the cable directly ( You have to download a driver onto your laptop which was easy enough and install it) . My laptop doesn’t have a USB port but the printer came with a C type usb connector which was great. Its really portable ( I bought a lovely case to go with it) and there’s a roll of paper inside the printer. I think it will be really handy for my job.
I was very pleasantly surprised with this printer.
I love the compact size as it is easy to carry with you if needed and to store away in the office.
It was very easy to set up – I only use this with my phone as haven’t been able to connect it to my laptop as it is a work one and I don’t have control of the settings, so I can’t comment on ease of use from a laptop sadly. But using a phone it’s very simple. The instructions are easy to follow if needed too.
The print quality is fine too. It isn’t perfect but it is not bad at all. I’ve used this for labels, recipes, and decorations for my daughters scrapbook and have had no issues at all.
The price is quite steep but if it is something you will use it could be worth the money as it is a great printer.
This portable thermal printer is excellent, i have been wanting one of these for a long time so i was pleased to be able to order one to try. There are good points as well as the not so good.
The unit is small for a printer and whilst i will say it is completely portable with wireless connectivity and is rechargeable too (via USBC), it is not tiny and does take up a bit of room in the work bag. It comes with a small drawstring pouch which is good but temporary. A carry case is available separately which i ordered too.
The unit is simply powered on by long press and paired with my iphone using the dedicated Phomemo app which is free and easy to use. One small roll of paper is supplied to get you going and there is an open slot at the back to feed from the rear. The unit takes 3 widths of paper or label roll, there are movable guide clips inside for this. Unfortunately i haven’t been able to connect this printer to my laptop as it requires a separate driver which i haven’t been able to install in order to test this capability (work laptop restriction).
The print quality is pretty good, you can tell it is thermal and there is a limited life as thermal printing can fade or get lost if exposed to other heat sources. When printing A4 from a continuous roll of paper, there is a tear off cutter which rough edges will appear and may need trimming off. For these reasons I wouldn’t use this printer to print out important or formal documents.
Really easy to use and such a convenient solution but the cost of thermal printing is expensive. Thermal paper is expensive, black and white only and can only be printed on one side although the absence of toner means there is a small cost saving to balance out. This printer also costs 149.99 (at the time of review) which i feel is off putting. If i was looking to buy another i think my limit would be about 80-100. A great product overall and I recommend if you can get the use out of it.
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.
A very neat, compact, lightweight and easily portable little printer which comes with its own protective bag for when travelling with it. No risk of ink spillage. Easy to set up with the downloadable app. Takes a variety of paper sizes and has excellent print quality.

I’ve always wanted a thermal printer and was impressed by my friends phenemo. I saw this one and love it! It’s very compact and easy to use either with the app or plugging in. Glad I don’t need to buy fancy paper compared to other thermal printers too
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!
Travelling a lot, I am always reliant on asking the hotel or a local copying shop to give me my return boarding passes. No more. But that isn’t the only reason I wanted this product, its because when I have a meet and greet with a client, and often they want to have something printed to take some details or quotation away then I can easily print anything they need instead of printing out and taking various papers they never want so I am saving paper also.
Setting up the printer was easy to setup as the hardware is accompanied with an app that allow me to connect my tablet wirelessly or I can connect wired with my laptop. So far I tend to use it with my tablet. What is great about the app is that it converts what you are printing to the type and size of paper I am using. The operation for this is so much easier than the standard desktop printers.
The app is also great for images, I have printed photos from this printer and I’m really pleased with the result, the app is so versatile and is regularly kept up to so no need to worry about the software quickly becoming buggy, as Phememo are also fanatical about their product.
I have been using this for about 6 weeks now, and I cant wait for my next business trip as this product is compact enough to take with me, in fact, I take this everywhere I go when on business along with the plastic envelope of thermal paper. Thermal paper is more expensive than the normal paper. So when doing long print sessions I still use my desktop printer.
Love it, recommended as this might be the end of desktop printers for good.
