JADENS Portable Printer Wireless - Supports 8.26x11.69 US Letter, Inkless Mobile Printer Compatible with iOS, Android & Laptop

This is my go to printer for anything black and white. Very easy to use the app and overly convenient. Easy to install new paper and relatively cheap to buy paper rolls. EXCELLENT product for black and white prints.

After receiving it, I found that this portable printer is not easy to use, the printing paper will run out quickly, and it is not convenient.

This printer is such a cool idea, but unfortunately it fails to impress. Because the paper is rolled up inside the printer, it doesnt come out flat. The ink and printer is low quality so there are streaks in the print. Additionally, the paper is not like regular printer paper. You would not be able to print important documents off of it. There are no options to customize the sizing of the print. You can choose the size of paper it will print, but thats about it. Im not really sure what you could use this printer for. Its easy-to-use, but just not worth it.

This is quick to connect and easy to use thermal printer. It works as expected and definitely comes in handy at the house or on the go.

It’s ready to go once out of the box. You do have to download the app in order to print but it’s very easy and simple process. This printer is a life saver. I have a way to being somewhere that needs me to send a copy of something and I have to go back home to do it. Now I can this done in a matter of 2 minutes. I have heard the thermal paper can be expensive but I haven’t gotten that far yet.

Here’s just a quick lesson on thermal printers that I wish I had heard before I ordered this. Thermal printers require a special kind of thermal paper, you cannot use regular printer paper. Also, thermal paper does not feel like normal paper, it is much thinner and has a slight glossy feel, basically like receipt paper. I do not believe there exists any thermal paper on the market right now that feels acceptably close to regular paper. I personally wouldn’t feel comfortable or professional submitting paperwork to someone or to a company on thermal paper, so I do not see the value in thermal printers. Now if you still want a thermal printer, note that this printer supports 8.26x11.69” paper only. Why on earth anyone would make a paper format that is just barely different than the universal standard of 8.5x11, I don’t know, but it isn’t their fault that paper format already existed. I did order this machine thinking it printed standard size paper, and I did order standard size thermal paper to print on this printer though which was annoying to find out. I was able to cut the sheets to make it fit, and the printer does come with a roll of thermal paper. As far as how well this printer prints, I uploaded a couple pictures of things I printed. The images I printed came out pretty well I thought, while the text document had some visible defects in how a few letters here and there printed. The text isn’t terrible, definitely decent enough, but I’m not impressed. The text document was printed from the roll the printer came with, while the image was printed from the thermal pepper sheets I ordered separately. You can see that on the thermal sheet the image starts halfway on the page, I could not get it to print normally because of the way you have to insert the sheets. You feed the sheet into the back of the printer and it automatically pulls in the sheet to halfway which basically makes printing sheets of paper impossible. Also note that I had to flip my thermal paper upside down from how the paper instructed me to print it in order to get the image to show up. The printer has an app that you can use to print things from your phone. It connects pretty quickly and the app has a user friendly layout. The app is a bit buggy though and you have to do things a certain way. Printing images is straight forward, but printing documents is a more involved process. There is a button that lets you open up your iPhone’s file app and select a document, but once selected it does not show up in the app. I was able to get things to print from google drive though, just select share/export->send a copy->select PeriPage app, then you can see the document in the app. I could not get the printer to print from my laptop wirelessly like the app claims. The printer stops automatically when paper runs out which is nice and it is easy to open the printer and change out paper. Overall though, I don’t see a use for this printer other than for printing receipt style documents.

The good news about this printer is that it prints beautifully on thermal paper. Unfortunately, the bad news outweighs the good news. 1) After much time and frustration, it became evident that this printer will NOT work on a laptop with an M-1 chipset. 2) Instructions were all of 4 TINY pages, in TINY type. 3) After careful inspection, I discovered the plastic clips to adjust paper width, as well as a scale embossed into the plastic in front of the well where roll paper is placed. 4) In spite of the print being clear on the printed page, its important to realize that using a roll of thermal paper results in pages that roll up. I didnt have any full-sheet thermal paper at hand, but I would ONLY use the rolled paper in case of dire emergency (see photo). 5) I was able to network from my M-1 machine to the other laptop, and tried to print a PDF label. I was able to successfully change the margin clips and use fanfold label stock. If you look at the photos, you can see what SHOULD have printed (white type) compared to what actually printed. SUMMARY--I would NEVER try to use this for printing on anything other than single-sheet thermal paper. For that, (I can assume from the print results from roll paper) I would expect excellent results.

I’m not a fan of the app you must use to print, it’s a bit clunky on the iPad and it must be in portrait mode to be useful. But the printer itself is perfect for traveling, like if you need to print boarding passes or event tickets, etc. The included paper is far too thin to use for anything official. However it serves its purpose. I still wish I could use it without the app, so I removed a star for the app

The device is quite convenient to carry around and the battery power is a definite plus. The concealed paper compartment is also a great feature as it eliminates the need for additional attachments. The included thermal roll worked well, although the paper is a bit thin and has some visible gray lines when viewed closely. However, one downside is that the printed paper comes out in a rolled-up format, which can be a bit of a hassle to flatten out. Overall, I am satisfied with my purchase as a convenient backup option, but I wouldnt recommend it for important or frequent printing needs.

I love having these portsble printers.. easy to connect and use and portable.. print ink-free anytime and anywhere!!
