Phomemo M02 mini printer

I'm pretty bummed. I was able to create my own sticker to print In a other app I use so that I could use the font I liked. Unfortunately there's no way that I can tell to print longer images... So, let's say you want to print a banner style sticker that says HAPPY, and you wanted to stick it to a box, and you wanted the writing to be like, 7-8", the closest you could do is print every letter individually, cut them out, and put them beside one another. Super sad about it, I feel misled. Debating whether to keep it for other projects or send it back 😢

Very quick, very useful. Frequently use it at work to label educational displays on the fly. Also good for adding figures to my notebooks. Holds a charge surprisingly well. Very compact, given its functionality. Easy to use, although the corresponding app has been advertising excessive AI use that I have to x-out of. I just wanna write "don't touch the lobster claw," not make colorful AI art to print in black-and-white. However, this is a very quick and easy to use item.

Ok so, I will start out with the bad things about this paper. The instructions are fairly difficult to understand, and it doesn't come with the information on how long each paper roll is. Also, it doesn't charge with USB C and the charging cord it comes with is pretty short, so good luck charging anything with it. Also, it doesn't work too well if you try and connect to the printer with the QR code. This printer also does not have a PC app. Now, for the good things. Printer came changed, and when you double click the power button it tells you at exactly what charge the charger is at(its at the bottom, saying "BAT=__%"). Also, the app is pretty easy to use and has one feature that I really like called "scan". It isn't really useful for anything, but it can make some pretty cool pictures. Finally, for the things you could do to improve you printing experience. This printer adds a bit of excess white space on all sides, but its a lot more prevalent on the top and bottom. You can use some scissors to cut this off, but do not cut off the right/left sides of the paper, because if you do it will be nearly impossible to peel off the back paper and access the sticky side of your sticker. Additionally, when you want to print multiple pictures, do it separately, do not try printing them all together. The reason being is if you do that, the sticker will be bent and malformed. Also, for the same reason, try not to use the serrated teeth to take your pictures off the printer, as they will also malform the image a little bit or even sometimes crumple it. And also, as I said earlier, this doesn't include how long the total roll of paper is. I believe that it is about 3.5 meters long.

I love the size, portability, ease of use and just overall fun!! But … I’m old now. New tech and I don’t always get along. This prints really nice little labels but the photos … not so much. They are grainy and pixelated. Like I said, might be me. The app is a bit hard to maneuver through, especially when trying to add text to photos. But unless you’re willing to pay $30 per year for the use of the app in full you can’t use those features anyway. That app is locked down fairly tight. I got this to label my 4 oz medicinal herb bottles and for that it will be fine. But I printed quite a few different photos playing with the few settings available (or at least what I could find) and no matter the combination, they still were grainy to me. Not unhappy though. It is what it is for the money so if you want something quick and portable with the ability to even make stickable business cards, this is your machine. Oh, and they do make a 20 year paper for longer life of prints.

This printer was purchased for my teenage son, he absolutely loved it! Easy to setup, nice compact size, and the sticker quality was great. He printed stickers for his water bottle, laptop, and many other things.
