    Hi Don. Great review on this Phomemo portable printer, it would be a great option when you're away from the office. Also, thank you for choosing my video for your 'We Roll', I appreciate it very much. Cheers from Newfoundland and Labrador. ☺

    please remember thermal printed paper has a lifetime. The solution is to scan and print with a laser printer. Otherwise when you look at the thermal print in say 5 years - it is blank!

      True, but as a test (unmentioned in the video), I left samples out in the glaring sun and hot car for a few days. Surprisingly, no impact on the paper or print.

      Do you think those mini printers are good to print jar or bottle labels? I have small business selling handmade lotions, soaps, shampoos, etc and need oil & waterproof printing that won’t rub off.

    • @DirtyPlumbus
      @DirtyPlumbus Місяць тому

      @AB4Jss I don't know that I'd recommend it for something like that. Being thermal paper, they don't handle exposure to heat or liquids well, and they only print in black. They're fine for receipts and things, but I don't think you'd be happy using them for branding or packaging.

    Great review,it's exactly what I'm after,just bought one off amazon,I noticed when you took the roll of paper out you didn't replace the plastic guide clip back in so hence the the A4 wasn't straight.Really looking forward in using this on the fly.👍🏻

      The scrolls are a pain, but they do allow the printer to be VERY portable without having to fuss with the flat sheets.

    Hi, apart from the paper, is there a consumable to replace every certain number of prints? I'm thinking of thermal ribbon or something like that.

    • @DonJoyce
      @DonJoyce  2 місяці тому +2

      There are no other consumables other than the thermal paper. The battery is rechargeable via USB-C, with the cable included.

    I have the MO8F and you feed paper in front the front, it does a good job but after several pages the paper wants to slide more to the left. My printer is very quiet, not noisy like yours.

    This may sound like a silly question but how do you just feed blank paper without opening the machine? For instance, I have a Brother QL-700 that has a button just to feed paper.

    • @DonJoyce
      @DonJoyce  2 місяці тому

      I demonstrate how it's done towards the end of the video. It's a bit fiddly, but the printer detects and engages the paper when you stuff it in.

    • @joaquintakanaka
      @joaquintakanaka 2 місяці тому

      @@DonJoyce Thank you for your reply, but I am talking about a different thing: feeding the paper as much as I want. Useful when you reach the end of the printing but not the end of the sheet for instance, then you have to open the machine to remove the sheet. A feed button would be handy for that. It's amazing it doesn't have one. I must be missing something trivial here. (I tried to double click the power button but it just prints a QR code and the machine specs.)
