Cute Printer but Limited
This is an adorable little pocket printer thar has a ton of potential but has limited applications.I received the printer and unpacked it to find a very cute little 3" x 3" (approx.) little cube shaped printer whose face, I think looks like a little cuddly panda bear, one small roll of thermal paper (not labels), a USB C charging cable and the instruction manual. I can't stress enough how adorable it is. It has a ton of personality.Loading the paper is easy, press the nose and it turns on. Download the app by either scanning the QR code or searching for XLife Pro in the app store. When you launch the app it searches for a compatible printer and it'll find it. It's easy and works with no hitches.I have several small thermal printers from a number of makers. I have a fetish for them. This one distinguishes itself by the density of its print. Most of the portable, Bluetooth connected, thermal printers have printing densities of around 210 DPI. This one has a printing density of 300 DPI which is considerably sharper than the rest of the field. Its print head is imported from France.I printed a picture from my phone that came out beautifully. Since it's a thermal printer the picture is only B/W but it's clear. Is picture printing in B/W a practical application? It's fun but, for me it is a novelty. The software can print documents, lists, receipts, etc. and some of these applications may prove to be more practical. I can imagine using it to print payment receipts at customer's locations.The problem is what it can't print. As far as I can tell, it'll only print on 57mm x 30mm continuous paper and labels which the company does not market. That makes it pretty limited. One width, continuous thermal paper & thermal labels. I've found it online. The positive to this is it's relatively cheap compared to the discrete labels marketed by other label printer makers. However, it does limit what this printer can be used for. I love and it will fit a niche in my collection. I really do like it but it's not what most people bargain for when they get a small portable thermal printer.

Really handy.
The QR code that prints out doesn't work, but the one in the instruction booklet does. The picture quality isn't great. About what you'd expect for the price. It's fun to play with and can print a variety of ways including collages and banners. Overall a good deal for the money.

Neat little printer toy
The media could not be loaded. Kids love to use this to print photos from their phones via Bluetooth. The quality is about as good as a thermal printer can get, which is 203 dpi if I'm not mistaken. Either way, don't expect the photos to turn out like the Photoshopped photos that the manufacturer posted. The quality will be a lot more grainy and have less resolution. The manufacturer also indicates "color photos" but this only prints in black and white. The "colored photos" are colored by markers or the paper itself is a different color and is misleading.Thermal paper is cheap so you can get a bunch of rolls and let the kiddos print to their heart's content as it doesn't require ink. This will save you a lot of money and get the very expensive "instant photos" craze out of their system. Once they realize that instant photos are terrible, then they'll be back to using digital photos in no time.The printer also has a battery so you can bring it with you and print things on the go. While the quality of the prints isn't the greatest for photos, it does fairly well with simple black-and-white type clip art.

Compact and fast
This little printer is a compact and fun solution to quick thermal printing needs. It hooks up to your phone quite easily via Bluetooth through the app, and then you are given a lot of templates you can use. There are various list templates, notes, and other things you can print on stickers or paper. The print job on pictures is good if the picture isn't too dark to begin with. It does come with one roll of paper, but they may not last you long. I haven't had any issues with this so far, so I'm happy with how it's working. It isn't very loud when it prints either. I wish is had an auto-cut feature but that is a minor issue. For the price, this is a great choice.

The vretti Portable Thermal Printer is a convenient and compact device that I found extremely useful. I like how it easily connects to my Android phone via Bluetooth, allowing me to print photos and documents on the go.

Love this tiny thermal printer
I love this little printer! Makes it so easy to print out little things from my phone, instead of having to deal with getting things on my inkjet printer- which can be a pain.Very easy to setup- just download the app, and open it to start printing.It came with a small roll of thermal paper.So far I have printed out a recipe I had saved, and a photo of my parrot. The photo actually came out quite clear and good! I was surprised at the quality.
