Phomemo 4+

I’m an OTR truck driver and needed a printer that didn’t take up much space and would also work over Bluetooth. This little thing works perfectly. It doesn’t matter if I need to print from a PDF or a picture it comes out legible. Definitely beats having to go into a truck stop and pay just to get a page or two printed. I’ve recommended this printer to other drivers who have also purchased it and they are amazed at how well it works. Highly recommend this little gem if you’re needing a printer to use in a pinch. Definitely beats paying $300 for a portable printer at the big brand stores that still takes up 5 times the space of this one. I also purchased the hard case for it and love it because it holds the cords as well as the printer and protects it from all the bumps and rattling in the truck. Another thing I really like is that you can charge it and it holds charge for an extremely long time. It’s great that I can just pull it out of the case, turn it on and not have to plug it in or hook up any cords.
Extremely happy with this Temu purchase!!

I bought a Phomemo printer to print images of my artwork from the Procreate app. I've used thermal printer at work and thought it was a good deal to make small black-and-white images of my work I could give away. The printer itself works great and provides some nice images. A little watercolor or pen work and you can make very nice color stickers. However, as an IT person, my concern is with the software that comes with this, and which the printer is worthless without. All your images are uploaded to the company's servers for printing and printed from that copy of your image. Therefore if you let the application use all your photos, someone has not only access but a copy for every photo, which is stated in the Terms of Service, even thought the privacy staement says it does not collect data. If you've taken photos of your driver's license or another id, someone in China has access to that too, which I find too much of a risk. If you are going to use this set your photo permissions for iOS to selected photos and load your photos one at a time, which is a pain but will be far more secure. Even if you do that, you must use this printer with an internet connection since it uses the server copy of your photo, which for the portable field use I had planned is a problem. Since you can;t use the printer without the software I'm going to have to rate this only one star. Thiss could have been so much more, but rides the line between utility and spyware.

I have an iPad Pro which I use with Apple’s Magic Keyboard. It is very frustrating to use apps that require I remove the iPad from the keyboard and turn it sideways! Instagram does this, too, but with that site I can get around the problem by opening the app in Safari or another browser where is can be viewed while horizontal and I can use my keyboard to type!

I love this little printer so far! Using my iPhone, I used up the entire sample roll of paper just printing adorable graphics from the app! It is fast and quiet and I was excited to get it together with my iPad so I could use the graphics apps and the Apple Pencil to customize the stickers I print out. If the app were able to work in Landscape (horizontal) mode, I would give it 5/5!

The only other problem I’ve found so far is that I don’t seem to be able to control how long the distance between stickers is, and there is usually way, way more distance than I would need to rip them off easily. This is a huge waste of the paper, the cost of which I imagine could get very high very fast. I think this is a good company that hopefully wouldn’t plan to make people use up more sticker paper (and backing paper, which I’m not sure is biodegradable) than needed in order to sell more rolls....?
