Phomemo Thermal Printer A4 - M832 Bluetooth Portable Printer for Home, Photo, Invoice, Study, Monochrome Printer Compatible with Phone & Laptop, White

The media could not be loaded. What can I say about this printer other than it has turned out to be one of those rare products that does exactly what it says in an efficient way.The printer itself is well packaged tightly and securely in a nice box, with a USB-C Cable, a USB-A adaptor cable has been included also (a nice touch for people who still need it) and a clear, short and simple instructuin booklet, which perfectlt explains how to connect the printer via cable or via bluetooth to either a PC or Mobile Phone.The printer has a small footprint, which I inagine will be helpful for travel and doesn't take up much room on my desk, it feels well built and is sleek in design, with a nice Matte Black finish and looks more expensive than it is in terms of quality. It also had a small roll of Thermal Paper already included inside the printer which was really helpful!I opened the box and had the printer set up, the driver downloaded and installed (PC for me) and my first document printed in less than 10 minutes! Everything was clearly laid out, with simple designs and it worked without issue. I wasn't expecting that at all.The document itself was much higher quality in finish than I expected and will be perfectly acceptable for notes, labels and even letters as it didn't have any smudges, you just need to trim the page carefully for an official letter.I believe this type of thermal printer was originallly invented for use for receipts in shops or shipping labels and this is just a re-worked slightly fancier one for sizes all the way up to A4 paper size which has been improved from the simple older designs.With so many printer manufacturers taking advantage with anti-consumer practices with ink pricing, predatory subscriptions etc..... This was the perfect solution for me, I want my money to go to a product and manufacturer that deserves it not one that takes advantage, hence the praise :)Tldr; Buy one today, you won't be disappointed!Pros: Great compact design, sleek matte black finish, good cable and adaptors included, simple clear instructions booklet, easy driver / app download, free roll of thermal paper inside the printer, document quality surprisingly impressive for this type of device! Price reasonable and best of all you NEVER need to buy ink again.Cons: Just remember it doesn't print in color (which is not a problem for me) it does require thermal or thermic paper (53/80/110mm) which has a slight glossy finish and be careful to ensure paper is smooth and clean if your printing an official letter but I can't really think of any negatives.A fantastic product and when something exceeds expectations, It should receive deserved feedback, especially nowadays.I hope this helped! :)

I travel frequently for work and often need to print documents. I find this printer to be versatile and helpful. The print quality is excellent, it is effortless to use, and it offers superb value for me.It comes with a user manual and a soft cover.In a few seconds, you download the app and start to print.I prefer to use flat paper rather than role paper.Absolutely worth it to buy

Like many other customers, I do not print often and I am sink of ink cartridges drying up and becoming useless. So instead of buying a laser printer that uses toner (which is expensive, but doesn't dry out like ink cartridges do), I decided to give this thermal printer a go, considering it was on offer at £118.I just unboxed it and set it up with my iMac (fairly easy - just download the driver and you should be ready to go - although, I did need to unplug it and plug it in again after installing the driver in order for the Mac to detect it).The printer comes with a roll of paper which I didn't use because I bought some thermal paper from Brother instead (search Amazon for B01NAGWBU2).I have just printed my first document and I have to say, the quality is impressive considering there is no ink, and it is perfectly acceptable for the odd letter you might need to write. The only problem is that the margins seem to be a bit off - it prints very near to the top of the A4 paper, so I ended up having to add a few more empty lines at the top of my letter - once I did that, it printed with the spacing at the top as I expected / wanted.The printer also includes a carry pouch (which will help to keep it clean) and it also came with a USB A to USB C cable, as well as an adapter - so whilst the printer uses USB C connection type, it does not matter whether your computer uses USB A or USB C because everything you need is in the box (which is a nice touch!).So in summary, I think this is a good printer but only if it lasts me 10 years (and I will update this review if anything goes wrong in that time!). I only need to print a few things each year, so this seems ideal for me. I love how it's very small so I can just stick it in my laptop bag, or a cupboard, when not in use.The build quality of the printer seems very good too - it's a solid bit of kit - nothing flimsy about it at all.So for £118, I would recommend this item. If the price was any higher though, I would probably put it towards a laser printer as I don't think this is really worth more than £120.

compared to other thermal printers for A4 paper this one is excellent. This printers 300dpi priting is very good and for professional looking results is best tu use single or fan fold paper. The app is easy to use once you get use to useing on ios phone or tablet the send to feature in ios choose print then reduce your page size for labels down to 70 or 75 percent then you choose send to from the print function choose the phomemo app if not in the list choose more then scrool to phomemo. This printer is a real gem. I definately recommend it's use with single or fan fold paper. The rolled paper is good in a pinch but can be frustrating becaused it will not stay flat. Just save yourself the greif and buy single sheet paper or fan fold which is even better and my paper of choice.

Despite seeing only sponsored Vine reviews, I went ahead and decided to give this printer a shot since I knew Amazon would make returning easy if I needed to. The printer doesn't quite give the quality I'd dream of, but it definitely is usable and is a worthy competitive option. Before I get too far into my review, let's review the leading printing technologies as of Dec 2023:--- Inkjet. If you've ever printed in color, this is probably what you've used. It's really the only color game on the market, that's its selling point. This technology works by spraying your paper with finely controlled jets of ink. It works well, but I personally am daunted by needing to have 3 consumables just to keep them running: color ink, black ink, and printer paper. I also don't love that printer companies make it so difficult to purchase these consumables from 3rd parties, and hate that some are even trying to put arbitrary expiry dates on said consumables to keep you trickling your income their way.--- Laser. The black and white backbone. These printers work by depositing toner on your paper and curing it with a laser. As you guessed, these only have 2 consumables: toner and printer paper, but this comes at the cost of limiting you to black and white printing only. However, this tech also works well (good quality) and abusive business policies aren't quite as rampant here.--- Thermal. The backbone of manufacturing and operations teams everywhere. When you get a receipt for your groceries or your hamburger, chances are it was printed on a thermal printer. These work by using heat to cause chemical reactions in special paper (not printer paper) which cause them to darken, creating (again) a black and white image. The detail possible with thermal printers is notably lower than the other two technologies, but it's still serviceable. The big selling point here is that you drop down to only a single consumable: thermal printer paper. That, and because there are no moving parts required to move any nozzles or lasers around, the devices can be quite small (think of the size of a home printer vs a receipt printer at a fast food restaurant).Thermal printing has been historically targeted at businesses and is a growing market for consumers. A few years back, if you wanted an 8.5 x 11" printer, you could really only choose between inkjet and laser. If you wanted color, you wanted an inkjet. If you didn't, you wanted a laser. That decision tree is mostly still the same, except nowadays you have two options if you don't care for color: still laser, but also thermal.So, between the two, how do you know which is right for you? Well, there are three larger items to consider:--- Quality. As I mentioned, the quality of prints you get on this thermal printer are in line with thermal tech, but thermal tech is not as great as laser tech. Prints you'll get from a thermal printer are definitely usable. If you want to print return labels, simple documents, etc, a thermal printer is totally fine. However, if you want very presentable print quality, I would personally go for a laser. I do sometimes need this, but very rarely. In those rare situations, I personally am totally fine going to a print shop and paying a small fee to use their printer.--- Size. Thermal printers can be very small. They just need to be big enough to move paper across a thermal print head. That usually only requires one motor with a few other supporting components. Laser (and ink jet printers) have to be a bit larger. They're slinging other things around and they need some space to do so. They also need space to store toner/ink. I personally live in a fairly small apartment and am super interested in keeping things as small as possible.--- Consumables. Thermal printers only need one consumable: thermal paper. Laser printers need two: printer paper, and toner. If you run out of paper, you can't print. If you run out of toner, you can't print. Storing backup quantities of those things also takes up space (linking back to the size topic). I personally enjoy the simplicity of thermal printing - if I have paper, I can print. If I don't, I can't. Thermal paper is usually in rolls (it is for this printer), and so storing backup quantity is pretty easy.Some other things you might consider are:---Your support of consumer abuse. Many big printer companies are trying lots of "innovative" ideas to keep consumers sending cash their way. If you buy their printers/consumables, you fuel their crusades. Thermal printers are pretty safe in this regard today (big companies haven't figured out how to strangle this yet). Phomemo, for example, (the brand of this printer) seems to be pretty respectable (as of Dec 2023). If you decide a laser/ink printer is more up your alley, I'd recommend the brand Brother (as of Dec 2023). They seem much more reasonable in their respect for consumers than some other ink/laser brands.---Portability. You can use a thermal printer on the road (literally in a moving vehicle if you wanted, but also in a hotel or other location after traveling). You'll struggle to do the same with inkjet or laser.---Maintenance. Printers are pretty solid but simpler systems are usually more reliable. There's only some many things that can break in a thermal printer. There are quite a few more things that can break in an ink/laser printer.If you've read through all this and decided thermal is right for you, then I do recommend this M832 printer. I've only printed a few pages on it but it seems to work well. Getting it setup took ~3min (feed paper, install driver, click print). One feature I like about the M832 vs some others is that it supports printing on both internally-stored rolled paper and external-fed precut sheets. Internal roll is pretty common for most thermal printers (again, think fast food receipt), but it's not always a given once you get to large 8.5x11 sizing. Some may prefer external feed paper, as it means your sheets all have very clean edges by default (to remove a sheet from a roll print, usually you tear it using the built-in tearing blade which leaves a zigzag edge - you could alternatively cut it off with scissors but I personally don't care). I like roll printing as it means everything needed to print is all stored in the printer - much easier to store and use and store again. By the way - this printer also supports smaller sizes (again, think of receipts). This said, I'm not sure if roll diameter is a concern for other sizes: the 8.5x11 rolls seem to be a fairly modest diameter which I think is smaller than some other thermal roll diameters. I plan to test this. I also appreciate that this printer uses USB-C (all other USB style connectors are becoming obsolete, for good reason). Although I bought a grey unit, I also think it's fun that there are colors available. I could see myself buying a colorful unit if the right color mix was available. Lastly, I appreciate that I can use this connected to a PC like a normal printer. The only negative I could think of is that, personally I could have done without the printer having a built-in battery (everyone has USB battery banks these days if mobile printing was needed). I think the cost reduction of pulling the battery and supporting components out could have made the printer able to reach the budget of more consumers, all the while making it a more environmentally friendly device, but product development is complicated so it's hard to say if I'm right or wrong (maybe some consumers don't want to use USB battery pack for that purpose).

Marche très bien et est très pratique ! Ne prend pas de place c’est super !

Ich habe mir diesen Drucker zugelegt, um mobil ausdrucken zu können. Er ist leicht auf allen Geräten zu installieren und funktioniert einwandfrei. Die App für Android ist gut zu bedienen und arbeitet problemlos. Die Qualität ist sehr gut und fühlt sich gut in der Handhabung an. Die Lieferung war sehr schnell und gut. Ich kann für dieses Gerät eine volle Kaufempfehlung geben!

I like it a lot. The online support from the company was great 😊
