Quite Handy and Useful
 I received the Phomemo Portable Wireless Printer to review and here are my thoughts:1. The print quality is surprisingly good for a thermal printer. Better, sharper than the retail receipts I have received.2. It’s as small as can be and still print 8.5×11 paper. That’s impressive. (Note: I’m sure it prints other sizes, but this is what I was given to try out.)3. It prints easily via Bluetooth. While I did use their app to print, the app itself is lightweight and intuitive, and I was able to print from just about any document format. I use Google Drive for everything and it was able to print an exported PDF easily. No hoops to jump through, and no hiccups.4. It is completely wireless. After it’s charged, all you need is paper and a Bluetooth connection to print. There is an option for directly connecting to a laptop, but I didn’t test that option because I am rarely at my desk. The charge seems to hold — I’ve printed 6 sheets on a partial charge and it shows no signs of being out of juice anytime soon.Now for the cons, which are relatively picky and few (I am reviewing this for others, after all…).1. The paper has to be *thermal* paper. It’s do-able — they sell it on Amazon, as well as at Staples, OfficeMax, and probably others. It’s not hard to find, however, if you’re geographically far from a thermal paper seller, and you run out, and you need it *now,* that could get tricky. BUT, that’s the same story as any thermal printer (retail receipts, etc.), and I would assume if you’re using this for business, you’ll be sure to stock up on thermal paper to avoid this.2. Thermal paper is more expensive than office paper. This may seem obvious. But here’s the thing: if you are geographically far from a conventional printer, this is one way to print anyway. You can balance out the cost of driving to and printing at a copy center or the office with the cost of having the paper on hand and ready to use immediately.3. The actual printing is a little noisy. Not loud, but noisy. So don’t print next to a light sleeper or in church.4. I’m not sure how to tell how much of a charge is left. Perhaps there is a way, but it’s not obvious to me.Overall, I’m impressed with this printer. It definitely worth considering if you’d like the option to print on the spot. I think anyone who travels and does estimates would find this pretty handy, as it would easily integrate with any program or app that can export a PDF or other common file type.Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you to Phomemo for valuing my honest review.

Great no-mess ultraportable thermal letter printer
 Disclaimer: I was compensated for the cost of the printer by the manufacturer without any request other than to provide feedback directly to them on what would make this printer better which I also offer here.Phomemo M08F Letter Size Thermal PrinterStraight-to-the-Point Overall UsabilityGreat portable printer for the times when you absolutely must have a hard copy a non-intricately detailed document. Works well for text and line art in non-permanent things like tickets or event signage which I happen to print often enough. Since this printer uses thermal paper, I would not recommend it for long-term legal documents (Quick Guide states 7-10 year print viability if kept dry, at room temperature, and out of sunlight) but if you need a semi-permanent document, it completely fits the bill. You will likely want to purchase additional thermal paper to do any appreciable printingLikes⢠Compact⢠No ink – no mess⢠Easy to use hardware⢠Easy to use Android app⢠Easy to print on Windows with driver installation⢠Relatively quick for a non-industrial thermal printer⢠Great quality prints for the right use-cases⢠Great battery lifeDislikes⢠Paper can get misaligned on insertion every now and again⢠Difficult to cancel or know if a print job has been cancelled⢠Noisy prints if on a resonant surfaceThings to consider⢠Prints can be expensive at 15¢ to 26¢ per page⢠Photos and very small text are not the intended use for the printer⢠Color graphics should be converted to grayscale before printingIn the Box⢠Printer carefully supported in foam⢠Two Quick Start Guides (one more graphical and the other more text laden)⢠2 ft. USB-A to USB-C for computer connectivity and charging⢠USB flash drive of computer drivers⢠Velvet carry bag⢠5 sheets Phomemo thermal letter paper which are creased in thirds from being packed in the box and best to flatten a bit before useBuild QualityAs with all the Phomemo products I own, the quality is tops. There is no wasted space in the case and the entire printer feels sturdy if not a bit heavy (721g / ~1.6lbs). The hinge and hinge opening buttons, which allow for paper release or roller and thermal head cleaning, have a good feel without any play. The printer has two rubber feet which do a good job of preventing printer movement but they do little to address one of my few complaints about printing.Phomemo App (Android)I have used and generally like the Phomemo label printer Android Apps âPrint Masterâ and âLabelifeâ. The eponymously named âPhomemoâ App is no different. In app, it is easy to connect the printer with Bluetooth or the QR code on the printerâs top sticker, change settings (Auto Shutdown â I recommend setting to at least 30 mins.), and print all or individual pages from various sources of documents (browse the filesystem or Share to âPhomemoâ from an open document. There is even an available library of line art drawings over a range of categories for simple sign or coloring sheet printouts. The one thing that wasnât entirely clear with the app was the best method for cancelling a multi-page print and what I found to work for me was powering off the printer and force stopping the app.Windows 10 DriverThe âPhomemoâ App, Quick Start Guides, and the printerâs top sticker all make it easy to locate the drivers form Windows and MacOS. I only have Windows machines and had no issues finding, downloading, and installing the M08F driver. Printing was as simple as connecting the printer to the computer with the USB-A to USB-C cable and choosing the printer by name in any print dialog.PrintingMy test prints were done from a 100-sheet pack of Phomemo branded letter thermal paper that was on-sale for $20.99 (21¢ per sheet, a 200-sheet pack is available for $29.99 for 15¢ per sheet). Inserting paper and getting it to be properly aligned in the printer can be tricky if done too slowly. Make sure the thermal paper is oriented with the correct side up (âThis side should face up.â is labeled on one side) and insert it as straight and swift as you can until it butts up against the roller bar inside. An improperly aligned sheet will print but the page can be skewed and the page edges torn ragged (only 2 of 20 printed sheets). If a sheet is inserted incorrectly, it is possible to open the printer and re-insert the sheet again. I printed using both Medium and Heavy darkness settings and observed a minimal difference in quality for most documents. If you have very small details or text (8pt or less) the Heavy darkness setting will make those parts more legible. Be warned that 6pt or smaller font can be spotty or illegible. All linear bar, Data Matrix ,and QR codes on tickets that I printed scanned with ease using my cellphone. The average time for a full sheet print was ~25 seconds.Battery Usage and ChargingWhen unboxed, the printer had 97% charge. I printed 20 sheets, 18 at Heavy darkness, and that only took the charge to 84%. I cannot envision many scenarios that would have this printer use more than 25% charge. Charging back to 100% took about 30 minutes and, as stated in the text heavy Quick Start Guide, had to be done using the 5V 2A power which I had on my computerâs USB hub. Neither my Samsung Fast or Super Fast phone chargers nor my Anker 20W or 45W chargers would charge the printer.Recommendations to Phomemo to Improve the Printer⢠Adding pop-out or fold-out paper guides could ease proper paper alignment on insertion⢠Adding thicker or more dampening rubber cushions on the bottom of the printer could reduce the amount of resonant sound generated by the printer⢠Depending on the desired typical usage per charge, the battery size could be halved and still allow for 50+ pages per charge while likely taking the weight of the printer to less than a pound

Apparently not for tattoo stencil
I bought this based on a YouTube review and a review on the phomemo site itself which recommended it for tattooand I’m super disappointed. It prints to the included thermal paper, which is regular white paper that’s thermal reactive, consistently and beautifully. Like, seriously, wow. For the intended function it is 5 stars. I hate to give less stars for my review but maybe I can save someone else who thinks this will work for tattoo stencils because it does not. Out of maybe 30 sheets of spirit (@ >$1/ea) I got 2 good prints that were acceptable but still not great. I tried EVERYTHING. Best way was a PDF file uploaded to the app as a document printed on”dedicated” mode but even that being said it was only the first print after the machine was turned on after sitting idle for hours. If it was warmed up at all or would print almost nothing. And sometimes not even then. I tried it facing both ways, all the file types, all the settings. Sometimes it prints literally nothing so I’d just keep running the sheet through and usually once it got to that point I just had to reset it and let it sit overnight. But it will always print to the included paper with no problems at all. Sorry for the long read. Best of luck, y’all.The photo shows the original, the line drawing, and 4 prints. I got a single other one not shown that looks like the middle one which is to say of acceptable quality.

This review is long overdue. I have been using this product for about 6 months now. First, I was pleasantly surprised with how high quality the product is, I love that it comes with a travel pouch. I have actually turned to this printer at home when I experience issues with my ink jet printer. It is very easy to use, the speed of printing is fast, and the prints are clear as well. Overall, I have found this product very useful.

Simple et rapide impression sans tracas d’ancre ou de bourrage de papier ou de mechanique complexe et qui brisent vous metter la feuille scanner le code qr et hop une impression de qualiter professionnel et a moindre cout vien meme avec quelque feuille pour tester l’appareil. Seul point l’appareil gagnerai a avoir un revetement en aluminium parcequ’un revetement en plastique sa s’echappe une foi et c’est briserer et je parle meme pas des possible choc en voyage ou si vous trimballer appareil avec vous, un etui de protection est recommander ou sont emballage d’origine peut faire. Sans compter que tout l’appareil est en plastique des rouage juaqu’au revetement a voir si cette appareil est durable. Sinon j’adore cette imprimante je la recommande fortement pour un usage normal et pas intensif c’est du bon plastique mai je cerai surpri si sa dure pour un usage quotidien intensif a voir.

This seemed to be extremely difficult to read the instructions and set up. The sample print was very, very light and I don’t think it would have been worth the effort to try to connect it to my laptop to try to use it for work as the printed test page was not acceptable.If you want this to really be portable, make it simple to add to your laptop!

Having to use thermal paper is a killer for this product.
