Advantages Over Traditional Printers

Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2025
I found this printer to be a little bit harder to set up than some of the others I've used that are literally plug and play. Mine came completely drained on battery, so I looked through things while it charged. They send various test rolls of thermal paper that would be nice to print receipts on, and a semi-hard carrying case, definitely the nicest one I've gotten by far. This printer seems to do a good job of really separating the shading on pictures that came out as a solid purple mass on some of my other printers. The lines print very crisp and clear, they also show up heavy on the paper, whereas with some of my other printers they might have a couple light spots. This really gets the transfer down very nicely. I think this is probably the best quality printing I've gotten from the half dozen plus thermal printers I've tried, at least as good as my old favorite. This is a great choice for a thermal printer for tattooing. I've found the ones under about ninety dollars are OK but no good for complex pictures. Not the case here, though you may have to tinker with the settings to get it to come out right if there's much shading.

I travel often and needed a portable printer for documents on the go, and this Bluetooth thermal printer has been a game-changer. It supports standard 8.5" x 11" A4 and US Letter sizes, which is super convenient for printing invoices, notes, or important documents on the fly. It also comes with a generous amount of sample paper, so I could start using it right away.Setting it up was incredibly simple! The Bluetooth connection to my iPad took just a few seconds, and I was printing instantly. The only downside is the app occasionally has pop-up ads, which can be a bit annoying but doesn’t interfere with functionality. It’s inkless, which means I don’t have to worry about replacing cartridges, and the USB-C charging is fast. I’ve never completely drained the battery, even after multiple prints, and my first charge lasted hours before I needed to top it up.The included sturdy case is a huge plus—it keeps everything organized, holds plenty of extra paper, and is lightweight enough to throw in a bag without adding bulk. The only minor issue is that the printed pages have a serrated edge when cut, but a quick trim with scissors fixes that (which i keep inside the case).At this price point, it’s not the cheapest option, but the quality, reliability, and portability make it well worth the investment. If you need a compact, wireless printer for travel or work, this is a great choice!

This is a great compact printer that you can use on the go, no wires cables of plugs required. You simply charge up the printers internal battery using the supplied USB cable takes around 4 hours but gives great duration and many prints.When I initially used the printed is was using the wrong app, as I downloaded the computer interface rather than android app to use with my smartphone. Once I sorted this out it was plane sailing. Using the app is really easy, you can select paper size and file type such as image or document to print.The printing between phone and printer is almost instant. The quality is not the best for images however tect is ok, but if you simply want a quick print or label on the go it's great.There are a few different size paper rolls supplied including A4 size, the only issue is that you vant get a nice flat print due to being on a roll, so along as you don't mind this it's a great item.Happy with product.

I think this is an excellent printer and ideal for both the home or when portability is required, and best of all doesn't require extortionately expensive ink cartridges to work.This is a thermal printer, which means it outputs prints that have a photocopier or laser printer type feel to them, and is black & white only. This makes it ideal for printing documents, templates, labels, and other similar items but no good for your prize high-definition colour photographs. It also requires specific thermal paper and cannot print onto standard inkjet paper. However, in my experience this paper is still relatively cheap and far more cost effective than replacement ink cartridges.The printer itself is compact, just over the width of an A4 page. It's also very lightweight, and comes with a great case making it super portable. Charging is easy with a USB cable, and I found I was able to charge it using one of my existing phone chargers.I found it incredibly easy to use. You can print from either a computer (using a USB-C cable) or phone. The latter requires installation of an app, but I found this extremely intuitive to use and the connection worked flawlessly every time. The app doesn't (at time of writing!) require any registration or submission of personal information to use.The printer takes various paper sizes, and supports either rolls of paper (cut with the very effective in-built serrated cutter) or sheets. The app prompts you to choose the paper size and gives guidance on how to print.I've found the print quality to be pretty good. Again - to emphasise - have realistic expectations. This isn't designed to print super high-res photographs, but is in my view more than good enough for general day-to-day printing.Best of all I love that I can just pack up this printer and pop it away in a cupboard, and have it setup ready to go again in seconds. It also doesn't require plugging in constantly to work, making it brilliant if you want a portable printer you can use out-and-about.

My husband can’t print to our home printer due to firewalls on his laptop. So he always would have to email me the files to print. But now he can print from his phone using the phomemo app.At first, it wouldn’t print as the paper wouldn’t advance. But I pulled it when it was printing, and that seemed to do the trick. After it was done printing, I was able to rip it off the printer using the serrated paper cutter. It does leave a tiny serrated edge on the paper, so if that bothers you, you should use a paper cutter to cut the edge straight.The paper does roll up. I haven’t tried ways to get it to flatten. But if you need to scan it, I would tape it onto a flat piece of card stock and then scan. But I wouldn’t put this paper into a document feeder.The quality of the printing is very good and equal to our regular Epson inkjet printer, as you can see in the photo (the top paper is from this printer, the bottom one is from our Epson inkjet).They give you a small roll of letter thermal paper, and you can buy their brand of letter sized rolls for under twenty bucks (which is almost 100 sheets). So the paper is more expensive than traditional paper, but the portability of this printer is the positive trade off here.I can color on this paper with my alcohol markers as well as with pen. I haven’t tried pencil yet. The paper is glossier than regular printer paper and less absorbent. But for document signing, this should be fine.This also comes with 3 additional smaller sizes of paper rolls. I’m not entirely sure what the use would be for, except for maybe printing out receipts if you are selling items off site. Or maybe black and white (color is not available for thermal) prints of photos to use for play or scrap booking. My son has a toy thermal printer camera, but the resolution on that is horrible. I’m not sure if it’s the paper or the camera. But I’m pretty sure it’s the camera. Nonetheless, maybe I will use the smaller sizes printer paper rolls to print photos and use them in scrap booking.I kept this plugged in so I can’t speak to the battery capacity. But the online description says the battery should last around 160 pages, more than enough for most people. Overall, I’m surprisingly pleased with this printer.

One of the things that actually pleased me the most with this grey-coloured thermal printer from brand ITARI was that it is full size; supporting 8.5" x 11" A4 and US letter, along with a decent amount of included sample paper.I had an older thermal printer in the past that only included a few sheets of paper in a bag, which was almost insulting. But fortunately ITARI seems to understand that offering a few extra rolls (4 rolls in particular, in various sizes) is a kind gesture. Rolls of thermal paper and stickers are already expensive enough; it feels good to know the brand respects the investment you have made.Another quality feature is that this printer offers the ability to connect wirelessly via bluetooth, not only via direct cable. This makes using it with your mobile smart phone quite effortless really. There is an included adapter cord for direct connection and also doubles as a charger cord, but the bluetooth just simplifies the process and the app seems to be very user friendly.The printer seems to print well enough, but not any better or worse than any other printer I have used in the past. It does its job effectively and looks good. What people often don't explain about thermal printers is that it's very important you get a type of thermal paper with longevity. Same is the case here. And speaking of cases, this product also happens to come well protected, offering a very nice mixed soft but firm case that fits the printer perfectly and gives me some extra peace of mind.The instructions are very basic, as with most brands and types of thermal printers. This is a very quiet printer, and prints quite well. I ordered some additional full sheet-variety and thermal stickers rolls that I was confident about, on top of what was already included.There is certainly a cost to me of thermal paper investment, in the future. But that is perhaps marginal compared to ink purchase overall, and not something I did not expect going into this. I'm really happy that it prints sticker labels also, which will come in handy for my business. For everything that it offers to me, a 5 star product.

This is the very same (model) printer as the known brand “Phomemo” and uses the very app for printing. - In essence it IS the M832, just under a different brand name. For that it has a very nicely reduced price point of under $90 - so a good value.Lots been written about these thermal printers - they definitely have a place in the arsenal of travelers or very infrequent (backup) printing jobs: versatility, quick connectivity via Bluetooth (but can also be connected to a PC (via USB-C to C cable included, which then requires to download software from the support site, )enabling one to easily print from any mobile device (tablets, phones, and even PCs), it’s relatively small but not truly lightweight- this particular kit came with some starter rolls and a nice thick case.-. Clearly one of the drawbacks is the paper: while thermal paper has come a long way, and sun and temperature is not failing prints quickly -this paper is very thick and stiff, and off rolls will never flatten out. - For that it’s not cheap - but one also doesn’t have to buy ink. - Paper Quality seems to influence the print quality, but I also had a dud, where none of the papers produced good quality print —>. This one works very nicely and the print from a black and white document was very clear.It does allow for loading paper (single sheet or roll) from the back outside, which can help with the “rolling” effect.-. The App, while relatively intuitive, is also very basic! No scaling, no sizing, no cropping, just find item, print - that’s it. ( I have another label printer using “Labelife” App with quite a bit more flexibility), so I wished Phomemo would update their App a little.-. The extras it comes with are nice: - 4 different sizes of paper (width) but somehow it seems I got shorted on the big roll; it’s much thinner and less paper than the smaller rolls, hm? -- the case too is a nice addition but its stiffness has some drawback too - the printer is extremely wedged in, and short of tipping the case over and force the printer out, it’s very difficult to remove.Overall for the present price of $88 not a bad deal at all - just know the limitations, and it may find a function worthwhile the purchase. - If the price point changes, go ahead and look for other “brands”, if it states M832 it’s the same.🌟 4 STARS⭐️ -> (*My RATE SCALE*: 5=perfect; 4=minor imperfections; 3=on fence; not sure if I’d buy again; 2= too many problems; 1= shouldn’t be sold or is dangerous).

Das Versprechen hier eine portable und pflegeleichte Drucklösung zu liefern wird absolut erfüllt. Das Gehäuse ist Robust, aber beim Vergleich mit der Wasserflasche hielt eine etwas größere her als vermutlich, die meisten mit sich herumtragen. Egal, der Drucker passt dennoch immer noch sehr gut in einen Rucksack oder Arbeitstasche. Ein eigenes Case ist auch gleich dabei, und das ist sehr schön. Die Verriegelung des Druckfaches sitzt sicher, das Papier ist kinderleicht einzulegen und die Bedienung mittels eines Knopfes, leider nur Touch-sensitiv, ebenso einfach. Schön ist, dass es hier LED und Beeper zur Bestätigung gibt.Es gibt im Lieferumfang 4 rollen Thermo-Papier, nicht besonders dick, aber dafür in verschiedenen Größen genau richtig zum Ausprobieren. Die Druckqualität auf diesem Papier ist sehr gut und reicht auf jeden Fall für Schriftverkehr und einfache Grafiken. Die angegebene Auflösung wird wohl tatsächlich erreicht, und damit ergeben sich ein paar interessante Anwendungsmöglichkeiten. Der Drucker ist auch angenehm leise und recht schnell, das portable Office funktioniert so echt optimal. Lediglich das Abreißen bei Verwendung von Rollen hätte besser gelöst werden können, denn mit der Kante die hier verbaut ist, entstehen hässliche Abriss-Kanten. Also für den Schriftverkehr und die Kunden-Rechnung dann lieber doch gleich Einzelblatt-Papier kaufen.Überraschenderweise ist diesmal sogar die Handy-App auf Android recht gut gelungen, wenig überladen und funktionell. Der Drucker ist per Bluetooth in Sekunden-Bruchteilen eingebunden, das Papierformat ausgewählt und schon kann man Dokumente drucken, perfekt. Für den Druck unter Windows muss man jedoch bedauerlicherweise das Kabel benutzen und auch noch einen Treiber von der Hersteller-Seite downloaden. Windows selbst findet nichts und wer sich nicht Installer und Treiber aus China auf den PC knallen möchte, bleibt damit außen vor. Immerhin funktioniert der Treiber dann tadellos und bietet, wenn auch rudimentär, alle notwendigen Features. In Sachen Software-Qualität ist man einigen Mitbewerbern sowohl unter Windows als auch Android voraus.Insofern man den Drucker zu einem guten Preis erhält, bekommt man hier eine sehr brauchbare Alternative. Ob diese Nische letztlich für einen selbst Sinn ergibt, hängt von unterschiedlichen Faktoren ab. Die Portabilität, Pflegeleichtigkeit und Reichweite per Akku machen den M832 aber zu einer spannenden und ernstzunehmenden Lösung in seiner Kategorie.
