TT & The Bears & The Lion & The Witch & The Wardrobe
> 3 dayIn general, Im pretty happy with this printer. Though upon testing it seems that the printer cant quite replicate fine-line artwork (see photo). The printer seems to print diagonal lines in a manner that makes them look jagged. I would venture to guess that it doesnt have enough lines per inch resolution to be able to make the diagonal lines look smooth. While this is not that big of a deal when printed on thermal paper, this becomes an issue when you print on thermal tattoo transfer paper. Given that the photo transfer paper has its own quirks, the jagged diagonal lines often come out looking like theyre smudged and sometimes incomplete. Since I got this printer for making stencils for tattoos, Im deducting one star from the overall rating because the lower lines per inch count reduce the quality of the printed product. The printer does have an interesting way to render grayscale (see photo). While the printer doesnt render grayscale perfectly, it does give it a texture similar to a pencil sketch. Printing other types of documents look good enough to be able to use in a pinch when you dont have access to inkjet or laser printers. While the thermal printer doesnt require inks, the paper itself does have some drawbacks. The paper will be very sensitive to heat. So if you accidentally place a cup of hot coffee on top, you will see dark spots because the heat activates the part of the paper and turn them black. Also, the prints will not last. In my experience, the printed text/images will fade after a few years which would not be great for archival purposes. I find that the most useful purpose for the thermal printer is using it to create stencils to transfer the artwork onto skin for tattoos. In conclusion, this is a great printer when you need something in a pinch or to have a reliable way to create tattoo stencils. The printer is a much better and more consistent option than using a fax machine to print on photo transfer paper. I really like the portability and the ease of use. Printing noise and speed are not ideal but not dealbreakers. For my usage purpose, I do wish it has a better resolution. All in all, the aspect of the printer is not all that bad so for most normal usage, people would absolutely find this printer resolution to be acceptable. While I have deducted one star from the rating, I would still recommend this printer to those who are looking for one.

> 3 dayThe directions are straightforward and easy to follow. The app is also simple and easy. However, when it came to the actual printing, nothing happened. A blank sheet of paper came out every time. I can’t get it to work. I’m following the instructions, so I can only assume that the machine is malfunctioning. Disappointing.

> 3 dayThis is just what I needed. Does exactly what I needed it to do. 10 out of 10 would recommend. Great for my business. Dont have to worry if a printer is gonna be where I am. Now it always is.

> 3 dayAfter testing the product I do have a few nitpicks with it. For one the printing quality. I noticed that printing a screenshot of a file wasn’t very legible unless i used the dedicated setting, even then there was some spotting and overall not uniform. This however didn’t happen when I printed it as a file using the medium thickness. Im not sure if it happens because of it being thermal or if its even something that would be able to be fixed but it was just an issue i had found. I do wish it had maybe a retractable tray for the papers or an attachment as I didn’t like that i’d need to feed paper into the machine one by one, as well as having to basically peel it off the table afterwards. Besides that its a lovely product

> 3 dayI have a Chromebook and getting it to print with a normal printer can be annoying. And if Im away from home I cant carry the giant copier/scanner/printer thing with me. This is small enough to be portable and works with laptops, Chromebooks, and maybe even phones. But it uses that thermal paper instead of regular paper so thats a little bit of a drawback.

> 3 dayI just received this printer today and within minutes I was up and running. There’s a thermal printer but not a printer where I tattoo and would have to bring a copy first which limits what I can do. But now with this wireless thermal printer along with my iPad, I can truly adjust as much as needed with my clients. I mainly focus on fine line tattoos and had general thermal printer which didn’t transfer the lines aswell; however, this wireless thermal printer nailed it. I’m extremely happy with how the stencil turned out and the product.

> 3 dayIt was very light weight and cute, but the issue Im having when it is printing on tattoo tracing paper is that it is pressing the ink on the whole page.. so yes the outline or drawing I want is shown but when I place the paper on skin, all I get left is a square of ink.

> 3 daySo easy to use, and we’re able to make photocopies anywhere, basically. If you use the app on your phone, you’re able to print, scan and copy. The prints are acceptable quality for something so portable and convenient. Very happy with this printer!

> 3 dayI love this wireless printer, it is so easy to use, all you gotta do is download an app which allows you to pair your phone or other device with the printer plus it allows you to upload images you might want to pring or any documents as well amongst other cool features, I rate this printer a 10.0
