Our Take

A genuinely portable printer that actually delivers on the promise.

For $80, you're getting a compact thermal printer that runs on battery and connects wirelessly—no cables or ink mess.

At $80 (marked down from $109), you're paying less than many inkjet printers, though total cost depends on thermal paper usage—budget $0.12 per sheet for refills.

Who it is forBest for road warriors, students juggling classes and offices, and anyone who prints sporadically but needs reliability when they do—less ideal if you print high-volume daily or require color output.

The Buying Guide

What to check before you buy

Portability & Battery

1.5 lb weight, built-in rechargeable battery good for 140 sheets per charge

Light enough to toss in a bag without thinking about it. One charge gets you through a solid work day or trip. You'll want to keep the USB cable handy for recharging, but the battery life removes the need for constant access to power.

Connectivity

Bluetooth via Phomemo app (iOS and Android) or USB cable for computers

Bluetooth setup takes under 5 minutes per the manual. Android and iOS pairing is straightforward through the app. Computers require USB and a driver download—less seamless, but workable for desk use.

Print Format & Medium

8.5" × 11" letter size, black and white only, requires thermal paper (not regular copy paper)

Prints full-size documents, photos, PDFs, and Word files—everything a portable worker needs. Black-and-white limitation is baked into thermal tech; if you need color, this isn't it. Thermal paper is the only consumable, and there are no ink jams to troubleshoot.

Context

Where this sits

Thermal printers flip the traditional printing model: you pay nothing for ink, but you do need to buy special thermal paper (around $0.12 per sheet according to the maker). It's a trade-off that works if you print occasionally but not in high volume.
