Very Good and Useful.
Fantastic little printer. You can use both normal paper with the transfer ribbon and their thermal paper (by removing the carbon ribbon and then putting the holder back in). The quality is very good and the app is solid. Impressive for the price and size.

The carbon rIbbon keeps coming out
The media could not be loaded. This printer looks small and portable. The size that will fit in backpack or some larger laptop bags. It comes with a hard protective case which is handy to carry around on its own.There are two types of printing you can do:1. normal paper printing with the carbon ribbon - The printer has a preinstalled carbon ribbon which is removeable. You may use normal A4 sheets for printing, but the ribbon is perishable. One new ribbon is claimed to print 45 sheets of A4. Unfortunately, not sure if it is an isolated case, my printer keeps spitting out the ribbon every time I print. Tried to understand how this works, I then found the white roller that suppose to hold the used ribbon has no grip at the end like the blue one, so I doubt the white roller is rotating correctly and that may be the cause, but I can't really check it while printing as you can't see it while printing.It is quite annoying that after every sheet I printed, I will need to manually roll the loose ribbon back into the roller. The ribbon is thin and prone to static, not an easy job.2. Printing with thermal paper - You may remove the rollers and the carbon ribbon for thermal printing. This works well with thermal paper but won't work with normal A4 paper. No issues at all. The printout is clear and the process is fast.Not sure if it is only mine that has this problem, good as a thermal printer, not good for normal paper in my experience.The app is easy to use. It has some free contents that you can download for printing. There is also options to install app on PC or Google Chrome extension for printing.This is advertised as tattoo stencil printing but no stencil paper or thermal paper included in the pack.Overall, a pricey product if the normal printing function is not working. But good quality in thermal printing.

Seems very well built, but not really easy to connect to Windows 11 and short on clear instructions
The idea of not needing ink is very appealing and as my old all in one printer broke recently, I decided to try this. I must say, I found it terribly difficult to pair for use on my laptop. It took literally hours to complete as instructions are simply not adequate and Windows 11 & instructions on the laptop are even worse. The pairing process for the printer was appalling on my HP Stream laptop, so this is only partially the fault of the printer. It pairs for recognition easily, but won't operate on bluetooth------I discovered, eventually, that I have to operate from "printers" in "devices" on the laptop, following bluetooth pairing and the options for printing type/size etc are very limited without the Phomema app which cannot be installed on the Windows 11 HP Stream laptop. It is also worth mentioning that one must disable "Allow Microsoft to control printer" and to name the Phomema as the default printer in settings on the laptop to get the printer to work.I have now got it working, with normal paper, but am finding it impossible to fit items onto one page as text is rather oversized and I have, as yet, found no means of reducing the size of the print. I have tried out use on a Doro 'phone and there are no problems to report- easy connection, app download and function so with android more easily and the abve issues do not occur. Due to screen size, I prefer to use my laptop (I am an elderly lady) and it remains to be seen, how useful the printer will be for my purposes. I intend to try thermal paper and to try to produce mail labels in fairly large quantities.

Great portable printer
The media could not be loaded. Great portable printer. Just download the printer app, the connection is easy and fast, you just need to convert your files to PDF OR WORD format and send it to the printer app and done. Also images are able to print.The video is showing some image that came with the printer app to show the print quality. Only black and white print.So easy to carry the printer for travelling or to use at home for little prints. It comes with a great travel case.Printer is a USB charging device. Battery life is great.Really good value product.

Portable, simple to use, good quality prints
The printer is black and comes with a case. It is portable and easy to use. I have tried a few portable printers and I have noticed that they continuously shrink down in size. This one is portable and even though it is heavy, it can easily fit into a backpack without any hassle.The quality of thermal printers depends on the purpose of printing. For printing labels, word docs or other text-heavy-based documents, they are amazing, far quicker, easier and more economical than a traditional printer. However, they do falter if you want to print pictures, especially anything more than simple line work. But I feel that these printers are not aimed at picture printing.If you are someone looking for a printer with a small footprint or need something relatively portable, and if you want it for office requirements, then this printer will be perfect. I found it works well with MacOS, though you need to have the cable plugged in for that. Bluetooth to iOS is also very simple to use. If this printer could use Bluetooth to MacOS, then it would be just about perfect for printing the occasional document or label etc. That's my only criticism, and it's quite a small one. Everything else is ideal. The print quality is decent, it looks good, it's simple to use, and pretty versatile being able to connect to phones etc.I also like how versatile you can be with the paper you use on this model. Being able to use rolls or individual pieces of paper is helpful. It comes loaded with a single roll straight from the box, so you'll be covered with paper for a little while, which is also a nice touch.
