5.0 out of 5 stars Flexible Portable Printing

B. · 30 July 2023

The media could not be loaded. Super easy to set up this high quality portable printer, I just downloaded the app, connected my phone or you can connect with any devices that are compatible and your ready to print, print quality is very good and lifelike for the frog photo I did in my video, it’s comes with a generous amount of paper, it’s ready to go as soon as you get it out the box, I like that it has a nice storage bag to transport and keep it dust free, full Instructions, and it’s in a nice silver colour finish which I think looks smart, it’s practical and flex for so many uses,

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent - if you really do need a mobile printer

S. · 29 July 2023

I hovered between 3 and 4 stars swayed by the many very positive reviews on the Internet for both this and other thermal printers. All I can add is that if you know exactly what a thermal printer can do (and I had previously only used them for small labels), then this one is likely as good as this technology currently gets and is from a leading company which, I gather, has been a pioneer in the field since 2017. The printer certainly gives a very good initial impression of being well made and looks and feels like a top piece of tech equipment that should last well.The positive points:1. It is compact, reasonably light in weight and entirely portable, working by Bluetooth on a mobile phone, or using a USB cable with a laptop (Windows or Mac).2. The prints are clear and completely readable.3. It makes very little noise while printing and prints reasonably quickly.4. It would be ideal for a mobile office.5. It should last for a very long time before the print heads wear out.The negative points:1. The thermal printing paper must be bought specially since ordinary paper will not work.2. The paper is significantly more expensive than standard A4 printing paper3. The paper is thin and curly.4. Each page needs to be hand fed into the printer.5. Two-sided printing is not possible.6. There is a grey printed statement on the reverse side of each sheet saying, "This side should face up".

3.0 out of 5 stars Works fine with iPhone - had Windows Driver Issues

I really like this little printer. It's fantastically compact and portable, and the fact you can print from its built in battery is very nice. I was able to print off some very high quality line art work from my iPhone, and - albeit on relatively thin thermal paper - the prints were lovely. The downloadable app works fine, and allows you to manipulate prints to fit the paper well.Unfortunately, I failed to get the printer working at all with either of my Windows machines - one on Windows 10 and the other on Windows 11. I was getting failure messages when connecting the printer even with the drivers installed. I tried various different ways to get it working in addition to the method in the instructions, but none worked. In the end I was forced to admit defeat. Maybe there will be a driver update that will make it work better in the future. Right now, I can't personally recommend it for use with Windows.

5.0 out of 5 stars Save on buying ink but you're restricted to black and white ...

This is an A4 size thermal printer which will print A4 size black and white images and text. Measuring in at about 310mm by 65mm by 40mm.It’s simple to use, having only one button on the top which powers this up. There are two other buttons on the front, one either end, with the words ‘Push’ etched on them. Push both buttons and the top pops open so you can put in the thermal paper. Once the paper’s in, just shut the lid and you’re ready.To get this to work as a printer you’re going to have to download an App from the store – Phomemo App – and once downloaded you’re in full control of this remarkable thermal printer.With the app you can print out anything which you can see on your phone/tablet or (with a cable) on a PC (using driver downloaded online)This prints images and words, or both together and it prints it as clear as the image/text you want printing.It works via ‘Bluetooth’ for phones/tablets and a wire for PC.The app is simple to understand and lets you use one of the many templates or create and save your own.It has a built in 1200mAh rechargeable battery which charges in an hour or so and should give you 1600 sheets of printing power … that seems a lot and I’ve yet to reach that figure but I’ve used this straight from the box and printed at least 100 sheets and there’s still plenty of life left in the machine.You get two cables inside the box, together with some test papers, a bag and instructions. The cables are the USB charging cable and a USB-C extension cable.This is designed to be mobile, even for its size, coming with its own little carry bag which ties up at the top. You can carry the cables inside the bag too.In all, a cracking A4 thermal printer which may save you on ink but watch out as the thermal paper isn’t as cheep as standard paper … but for the printer, you can’t go wrong as it does exactly what it’s supposed to do and it does it well.But what about the price tag? which, at time of writing is £187.49Well, for what this does, and the fact you never need to replace any ink cartridges (at about £30 - £40 a time) you’ll get your money’s worth in no time.
