Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

It does not take any ink so that is a big plus for people that print a lot of those that do not print for a long period which causes the ink to dry on the print heads but with this all those problems are solved.

Small size makes it excellent for taking in a backpack, luggage, or packed away in a drawer. Great for travel and for students. It's nice to have everything portable that you can take with you on the go.

The paper feels like a receipt. I wish it had the ability to be able to accept both rolled and flat sheets. Has an include roll of paper that produces decent quality prints. Comes with 5 sheets of paper to start but more paper can be purchased separat... Read More

Hope you find this review and video/pictures helpful. My other printer takes a while to start and warm up. It works perfectly.

This thermal printer makes good black & white thermal prints. The tradeoff is that while you get less sheets that cost more than regular printer paper - you don't have to spend money on expensive ink. With the cost of ink or toner these days from ... Read More

Cons

When connecting with the app over and over to execute a larger print job 10 pages at a time, it sometimes misses a print command, so you have to run it again. Might as well use a 50-year-old dot matrix machine.

Quality

It works well with my computer and is solid and durable.

It is a well made printer and very portable.

They hold up to the stress of constantly printing out 15 pages with no problem, and the great part of having not to buy ink is a plus.

Open the machine after the connection to pull the paper out and start printing.

Price

The refills are pretty affordable, about $20 for 4 rolls of 100 sheets each.

With the cost of ink or toner these days from regular printers, this is a nice 2nd printer to use for those times when high qua... Read More

I wanted a printer that didnt cost a fortune to run and really only needed black and white.

My complaint is that the paper it takes is super expensive.

Shipping

I was thinking this printer will be able to print shipping label hence i ordered it, but i was wrong.

I’m a bit disappointed that it can’t print standard 4x6 thermal shipping labels.

I also noticed that while some of the printed text looked overall decent, some of it came streaky, or with blotches (picture ex... Read More

Competitiveness

I got this printer as i was looking for a better printer then i ran across this one.

The app is a little wonky but that's fairly common when it comes to brands like this.

I have the same brand in a small sticker thermal printer so i was familiar with it and the app.
