Customer Review
- Reviewed in Canada on January 19, 2025鉁 From the Phomemo app installed on an Android 14 device, documents (e.g. PDF) were successfully printed via Bluetooth wireless connection to the M08E printer.
鉁 The suggested Android app works fine and uses Bluetooth to connect to the printer. However, you have to use the app to print a document or graphic file.
鉁 Considering the printer's size and power cable-free operation, pages successfully printed with the expected slow'ish page rate of a thermal printer. Sound level was low and was also typical of a thermal printer. Neither behaviours bothered me.
鉁 Portable weight I thought was acceptable given that much of it might be battery.
鉁 The printer easily slips into a backpack.
鉁 Loading thermal paper was simple, although you have to pay attention to the orientation (i.e. treated side downward on this printer). Also, there is minimal responsibility on the part of the user to insert the page square with the input slot. Humans can't be too complacent or lazy to not try.
鉁 The printer appears to turn off automatically after some idle time.
鉁 The kit was nicely complete with a pair of USB-to-USB-C cables, a travel bag and 10 sample pages of thermal paper.
鉁 The user quick start guide was easy to understand and was written in multiple languages.
鉁 On the back of the printer the manufacture included comprehensive contact information including office hours of operation (Eastern Standard Time).
鉂 The downloaded driver installed successfully. The M08E printer was registered and detected by Windows 11. However the queued print job never was actually printed. The queue was cleared as if the job was successfully printed. Something doesn't seem well with the driver. My other Windows 11 drivers work fine with other respective printers.
鉂 You must use USB cable connectivity to your PC.
鉂 To connect with Windows 11, a USB cable (included) has to be used.
鉂 The warranty card asked for a unit serial number, but none was found on the printer.
鉂 Some shoppers might find the vendor's asking price a little high. Maybe if it were $79.95 Cdn then there would be stronger incentive. Recurring revenue is about selling thermal paper.
NOTES:
* Do not expect laser printer quality. Thermal printers are essentially old school facsimile printers without the modems. The output is good enough and is readable. Line graphics typically turn out well. Note that classic thermal printers do not do shades of grey. They can simulate with varying dot density.
* Since the printer leverages the convenience of thermal paper, the longevity of the printout is limited by the quality and attributes of the manufacture of the paper. This is not a factor of the printer.
SUMMARY:
The market is rich with portable thermal printer offerings. The functionality and general output quality is what was expected of this type of technology. The M08E prints well, particularly from modern mobile devices.
