Portable Thermal Printer, A285M Bluetooth Portable Printers Wireless for Travel Home Use, Small Inkless Mobile Mini Compact Printer for Phone Laptop, Support 8.5'' x 11'' US Letter & A4 Thermal Paper

Quick setup and it works great, and I received it quickly (the next day)There are not any downsides to this purchase. Overlook some of the reviews when deciding to purchase, because the literature clearly shows that it is a portable thermal printer.To be clear, I was aware of what I was buying. Please be sure you understand you are purchasing a black and white Thermal printer, an extremely better version of a receipt printer. This is not a color printer and no you will not need to buy ink cartridges. Again, you are buying a Thermal Printer.This thermal printer is better than some similar options because it does not require the use of a thermal trace paper ribbon along with the thermal paper to print. You will have to use Thermal Paper, and No you cannot use regular paper. Another benefit to this printer is that you can buy different-width paper rolls to print different-sized papers, such as 8.5“X 11”, A4, 4,33”, 3.14”, and 2.08'' width thermal paper. The best thing is the battery size because this unit comes with a 2600mAh capacity battery. where others have a 1500mAh capacity battery standard.In one of the pictures, I placed a sheet of 8.5" x 11" inch paper to see if the claims were correct, and the paper size is dead on and you will be able to print an 8.5" x 11" inch thermal paper and not have to worry is the paper size correct. I bought this printer to be used as a tool, and this is where the lower price and quality allowed me to afford to have what other companies sell for higher prices but allowed me to do it on a budget.The only thing that is missing is a case and this will be the next thing I will try and order, so I do not damage the printer while traveling.Overall, it is a great overall travel office product.

I’ve been using this portable wireless thermal printer for a few weeks now, and I’m honestly impressed. It’s compact, lightweight, and fits perfectly in my backpack or car glovebox—great for travel or quick print jobs on the go. The fact that it’s inkless is a huge plus—no need to worry about messy cartridges or running out of ink unexpectedly.Setup was super simple. I connected it to my iPhone and also tested it with my laptop (both Windows and Mac) via Bluetooth. No issues at all. It supports full-size US Letter and A4 paper, which is perfect for printing invoices, forms, and even tickets.Print quality is solid for a thermal printer—very clear text, and even basic images come out pretty clean. I wouldn’t use it for photo printing or super detailed graphics, but for documents, it’s spot on.Battery life is also excellent. I’ve used it several times without needing to recharge, and it holds a charge well even when idle for days.If you’re a student, small business owner, or someone who works remotely, I highly recommend this. It’s a game changer for mobile productivity.

This little printer has been an excellent addition to my mobile office. Combined with a mobile scanner, I can do pretty much everything I could in office at any location. The size means it fits well in my normal office bag without adding too much weight.Pros: Small, simple, efficient, no ink to purchase, paper is stored rolled inside, easy connectivity, prints words just as well as my inkjet, battery life is great.Cons: A little noisy, expensive paper (offset cost though), needs a case, little grainy on printing B&W images (expected, this is not its purpose), bit slow (but again, you aren’t printing a book with this).Main Points: Easy to carry and transport. Simple to set up. Can be charged using a normal charger (unlike my scanner from a more expensive company that can only be charged via computer!!). The battery seems to last forever; I never ran out of power trying to print. It adds an awesome ability to my personal work. The only thing I really would have liked to have with it is a case. The teeth for tearing the paper stick out just a little bit and might catch if you have a fuzzy bag. The cost of the thermal paper is of course higher than normal paper, but this is offset by the need of no ink cartridges. Additionally, since there is no ink cartridge, there is nothing to dry out. So, this can sit in my work bag for weeks without use and have no concern with turning it on and needing to replace an expensive ink cartridge. Printing text with this is just as good as with my inkjet (see images). Now of course it doesn’t print gradients as well, but that’s not the use for this. For printing text it is just as good!Overall if you need a printer you can take with you and use remote or mobile, this is a nice addition to any mobile office!

I purchased this printer recently and have to say it was a very easy set up and quick to print out my document. My only issue with it is that the paper doesn’t always rip cleanly off the teeth. If it had a paper slicer you could run along the side it would probably be even better than what it has now. Other than that the printer works great. It definitely holds a long charge and is easy enough to carry with me on the go with my laptop. Connecting it to my phone is done in seconds.
