I enjoyed the review, it covered the bases, but must make 1 observation, never print contracts on thermal paper. You might end up with a blank sheet with your signature on it.

I think he means if you scan or thermal print a document with a signiture printed people could copy this fraudulently Signatures should be wet ink with contracts ideally i thinks thats what he meant​@susanaalejandre400

​@@susanaalejandre400Thermal prints fade over time. It's just like receipts. Or shipping labels. So only use them for temporary things. If you want something more permanent, go for an inkjet or laserjet printer. I recommend a monochrome laserjet

Thank you so much for your reply. I had bought a longer wire for charging my printer, initially. And that was the issue. Printer did not like the new wire . and could not charge it from my laptop either. But I used the short wire that was supplied with my printer. And now it is charging the battery. Thank you so much.

I see a lot of comments talking about propietary papers, there are none, you'll only need thermal papers for this type of printer, they're dirt cheap.

Im not sure i understand your question my friend ! If you mean the image quality faded it may do this for several reasons direct sunlight can speed the effect up and heat can also introduce un wanted spots on the pages I Think they will get better over time and always try to use a good quality paper it may also help preserve the life span of prints

can this print regular 4x6 inch shipping label as well? Using continuous shipping label roll or stack, that is, not feeding one sheet at a time.

Anyone who has ever tried to store thermal paper receipts long-term knows that severe degradation of what was printed can happen under the right conditions. While I agree that single-user replacement ink cartridges are horribly expensive for what you get, full size thermal printers will not be able to replace them anytime soon.

[@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5]

I agree especially for colour or quality but they do have a place i think also very valid point Hot humid condition deteriate the quality over time direct sun light can out right render it useless if left fo r long enough I live in a dull enviroment so that doesn't affect me but it does happen your right Thanks for taking the time to comment and i hope you have a great day

When I try to print tattoo stencils or regular single sheets. It black outs the entire page.

[@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5]

OH No ! Thats not great is it I will have to research why that maybe to be certain but im guessing the thermal strip is faulty as the whole page is black it seems to be over heating the paper i would have to reseach into the issue as iv not come accross it personally Is it a new printer ? if so i would request a replacement it s normally perfect for the kind of use case you described maybe you got unlucky with a faulty unit is my guess

[@regnar2441]

Yeah it was working great for a week then everything went black. Only owned it for a month now off of Amazon. Was only using it for tattoo stencils.

[@angieshaw9477]

How to charge it. I have plugged up and let charge for over one hour and it still will not stay on so that I can print . It has worked when I first purchased but not now . I only use it when I travel.

Are you using the correct USB lead also try another one just icase it is faulty and check the power supply is sufficient for eg Mine wouldn't charge from My PC but does from the wall and my Other printer does Charge from the PC hopefully its just a small issue like that otherwise im not sure what could be the problem it just charges as normal in my case

That is a Fair Point, i do think the Paper should be a far cheaper option or even free but Inks are more expensive in my opinion and also these printers are limited in functionality Pictures and images not being great unles they are black out line drawings for tattoo or charts etc then they are good but your right the paper refil is still an Issue I Hope a solution is found soon tbh

[@lpanic]

Really depends on quality of paper and storage conditions. Scratching, heat, direct sunlight can ruin such paper. I bought several different paper options for a similar printer with claim to retain picture for 3 and 10-15 years. But they are clearly susceptible to harsh conditions and even 10 years paper gets scratched easily. But I got several rolls of thermal transfer paper that practically creates a real ink-based image on paper that should permanently retain information and the paper doesn't change its color on heating.

[@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5]

yes there are loads of similar ones and various brands varying in Price i have seen these around £100 I would recommend Phomemo over most though in my experience thay have been the most relyable and best Quality over all

[@mattivirta]

@@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5 same printer sell many shop, cost 80-130$ and expensive not have any better than cheap, what sell, some have different brand about 10$ cheapen but more worst resolution max only 200 DPI.

@@mattivirta i have a new one too The video will be out soon its a little cheaper price and has a 300 dpi so is a little better but i think your right The resolution needs improving with most thermal printers it still has a way to go for sure i hope you Have a great Day sir !

Hi Craig Hi mate please can you help advice me which printer will be good for me..mate I am not a tech savy all I wanna do Is connect my Samsung galaxy s20 ultra 5g wireless ly to printer to print pages of religious writing so black and white is fine for me..I never ever had a printer before Craig please can you advise me which will be better for me to get...thank you so much mate

[@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5]

Hello ! This type of Printer would be perfect to connect via mobile and print pages instead of using the scan feature i would use Image or PDF etc as they are far better quality print wise scan does work but not as good in print quality in my opinion you can also take these with you if you need it to be mobile its also helpful for that I think this type would suit your needs My Friend I hope you have a Great Day !

[@nali19751975]

@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5 thank you so much. Much appreciated 🙏

Can not Zerox?

[@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5]

Not normal Xerox Printer paper no it does need to be thermal paper ! but i think they do actually have thermal paper too at Xerox

[@shira3741]

How will make the zerox? Show that video.

[@wadi2208]

Does it print colored paper or just black

[@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5]

the print is always black you can used color paper / labels but the text will still be a black ink look to it !

[@fierakuitali9313]

How long last thermal print

[@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5]

Its long lasting i have prints over 6 months old pinned up on the wall song sheets etc they are still fine but heat can affect quality so direct sun light etc

[@UKHawkwind]

Good review but you didn't plug it into a laptop or a PC?. I have read it can only use bluetooth with mobile phones and you HAVE to use the usb lead with laptops etc which is rather dumb as they all have bluetooth built in these days.

[@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5]

you have a great point and that is correct they do require USB on pc which is strange as it can also connect to bluetooth so its a little tideous for sure i have no idea why it needs the USB on PC i had this issue with a new Printer i was testing Yesterday we tried via blutooth with no results so i assume all these thermal printers run the same way thatnks for taking the time to comment and have a Great Day !

[@UKHawkwind]

@@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5 Yup and they are ALL the same and I have no idea why and maybe they can only program in 'Android' language to create 'apps' heh heh. I rarely use my mobile as I am not mobile but I use my computers a lot and been using them 40 years (ish). I have one of these ordered and will get it soon and I will report back - CHEERS! ...

Can U use normal A4 paper

[@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5]

no unfortunately not normal A4 it needs to be Thermal compatable It comes in A4 sheets or rolls usually my friend Thanks for taking the time to comment have a great Day !

[@didiXxXify]

can i print using smaller size paper?

[@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5]

You Can there are better suited Printers for smaller Tasks but in theory sure it could cause problems with image size or scale though im not sure how you would re size images correctly but im sure you could do it I did a Recent Video on the Peripage A4 which is also designed for A4 and various other sizes papers and labels maybe look around before making any decissions I hope you have a Great Day

Is it possible to print from a Windows-computer?

[@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5]

Im almost cirtain you can yes but would have to confirm that i will try to update the comment but i think you can

[@gabea.2123]

My Win10 laptop doesn't detect it through USB-C (mandatory) though I installed the drivers and the installation finished successfully. It does show as a BlueTooth printer but you can't print to it either. The only printing that works is from my Android phone using a custom app. All sorts of red flags about safety and data protection come to mind in any case.

is the app needed? can I print without using the app?

[@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5]

Hello ! Yes my friend the Phomemo App is required for the Prints it connects via Bluetooth though not Wifi so no Details or passwords are required etc

Online printout or offline print out?

I dont like it,too much bad points when use in hot environment as will damage all page😂 or if you leave at sunlight… Thermal paper is more expensive then normal ordinary and not available like normal printing paper at every store/shop.
