Phomemo M08F Portable Thermal Printer, A4 Bluetooth Inkless Mobile Printer Compatible with Phone Laptop, Wireless Printers for Home Office Trip School with Case

Unboxing: The box is a branded, white box that slides open similarly to the apple watch series 3 box. Inside the box you are greeted by the printer, held in place by some rather high-quality foam to protect the printer during shipping. Included in the box you get the printer, a high-quality cloth carrying bag for protecting the printer, a USB C to USB A cable, instruction manuals and a USB thumb drive including the drivers required for use on MacOS and Windows. Setting up: Setting the printer up is extremely easy. On iPhone all you have to do is scan the QR code on top of the printer, download the app, connect to the printer, and print what you want. Setting up on Windows is slightly more difficult. You need to either download the drivers off the included USB thumb drive or you can type in the link on top of the printer which will take you to a website where you can download the most up to date driver available. Once you go through the setup for the drivers, all you need to do is plug the printer into the computer and click print on the app you are using. Printing and quality: The print quality is great for text, and I was surprised at how well it can print photos in black and white. The print speed is quick and similar to the speed of a standard inkjet printer. This printer is great for a home office or on-the-go. Battery life is great, you can print quite a lot of sheets before it runs out of energy. This printer, being phomemo, will most likely be very reliable. No need to worry about paper jams or the printer roller lines that most laser or inkjet printers eventually develop. The printer feels high quality and well put together, even compared to a similar priced printer from another manufacturer. The battery life lasts a long time with use. The small form factor is great for backpack portability.

Great little gadget but paper very expensive I only print what I really need

I’m a big fan of Phomemo thermal printers, I have a label maker and a photo printer from them and can’t fault them. I use them in home organisation and arts and crafts. Due to my job, I often need to print an invoice or a standardised letter on the go. For reasons beyond the scope of this review, digital copies are not permitted. So I was keen to find a way to be able to print a page or two every so often without having to go back to the office and printing and then sending through the post. So for me this was a worthwhile purchase. Pros - Good size and comes with a velvet carry pouch, which is a nice touch. It’s a bit heavy but not to the point that it compromises on portability. - Print quality is decent for text and simple logos. I printed a test page and was actually quite impressed. - Prints very quickly. - As a thermal printer, it doesn’t require ink which is undoubtedly the most costly aspect of running a regular printer. - It connects seamlessly to my iPhone and my laptop. The iOS app is quite easy to use and it offers a lot of options and some fun graphics. Cons - Only prints in black and white. - It is quite fiddly to get the paper straight but you get the hang of it eventually. So far I have gotten the paper at an ever so slight angle a couple of times but the printer didn’t jam -the print was just slightly off. - Thermal paper is quite expensive. - You can only print on one side of the paper. Overall, I think that if you have a use for it, it is a great solution. Personally, I bought a bundle of 100 sheets of paper for around £20 and they will probably last me a year or two as I will use it sparingly. Without the need for ink, the running costs are on par with a regular, non-portable printer. The price of the printer itself is on the high side, but it is a quality product and one of the few offerings in the market right now.

This printer is a game changer and a marvellous piece of kit. I have only had it less than 24 hours but am amazed at the quality of the print - particularly with photos. Sure it only prints in black and white but it does amazingly well. Of course the quality of the photo itself is important as that will affect the outcome of the print out, that goes without saying. The app is simple to use and gives prompts to help you with connecting to your printer and printing. It is very straightforward with no hoops to jump through. The app, however will only allow connection with one Bluetooth device at a time so if you're switching between tablet and phone you will need to disable Bluetooth on the device you are not using. Having to use a cable to connect to a laptop is a small price to pay when the printer is so handy. All-in-all I would highly recommend this printer - lightweight, portable and more than capable of any printing I would need it for.

Brilliant piece of kit. Attached to WiFi really easily. Easy to work and understand. Download app and away you go. Unfortunately no colour print available but I only need it for labels and odd list and letters. Pretty sturdy built unit light wieght. Make sure you buy the correct paper. Carry case is smart and protective would advise buying unit with case. Functions with out fuss so far so good

It does make good looking stencils, HOWEVER- standard A4 paper, which is the size that most stencil paper is, does not fit in this machine and is too wide. The app is very annoying to use because it is filled with ads and you have to pay for a subscription to get the ads turned off. also, the sizing feature is very confusing to use and not accurate.

Printer arrived very quickly and the one year warranty was activated straight away. Very easy to set up, lightweight and can be taken anywhere. Great little printer and the company are so professional and responsive. It was great to get rid of my big heavy laser printer. I am so happy!

For me as lorry driver it is really good thing to print delivery notes fast and easy. It is small printer, where you dont need any ink cartridges. Using this priner for the last 6 months, printing speed is not bad, but there was some days it printed very very slowly. And recently while printing it just stopped, lost connection with bluetooth and i couldn't connect it no more. Contacted customer support and now waiting for my replacement (I will update when i recieve the new one). Overall very good printer.

Ho acquistato questa stampante da circa 1 mese e devo dire che è stato l' ottimo acquisto che prospettavo.Facile da usare,non ci sono ricariche da applicare...solo fogli da acquistare.Va benissimo x chi ha bisogno di stampare ovunque e rapidamente, non tantissimi fogli insieme.Ma x uso domestico è top. Consigliatissimo

Sehr gut.

Parfaite pour placer dans un camion longue distance Canada - US. Plus de cartouches à prix exorbitants. L'imprimante, 200 feuilles et c'est parti sans problème.

What's great about this is that you save up a lot instead of using inks for like 170 plus it's portable. Basically The printer just prints using thermals or you could think of it like burns imprints on specific thermal papers that sre required for it. But i don't know if it works on regular A4 papers. The printer needs charging before using it or plug in the charger and use Bluetooth to print from you phone from the App(Phomemo). When i used inkjet printers i kept running out of ink almost every 2/3 days and i found out the ink im purchasing barely has any ink. Just from watching a guy curious enough to see how much ink in the cartridges. Once you get this printer all you gotta worry about is if you have enough thermal papers

Facile à utiliser, prend peu de place, il faut du papier spécial qui coûte cher, c'est le seul inconvénient
