Which mobile printer?

[Goatboy]

We’ve just broke our 2nd HP deskjet in as many years 😡

For a mobile printer they sure don’t like being moved! Unless they are upright 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of the time, they leak ink into the gubbings and break!

Does anyone have a recomendation for a reliable mobile printer?

If you dont need a colour printer, and only need it for invoicing or similar i have been using a Brother MW260 Thermal printer for over a year now, it can fit in a pocket if need be and has blue tooth. That is what i call a mobile printer i usauly have it sitting in my laptop case and customers are amazed when i print of a reciept with something so small.

Re: Which mobile printer?

Yeah, just invoices/receipts. Hopefully mainly receipts 😉

I use one of these Pocket jets with the Indesit work you need a roll of fax paper for them, when i went self employed i thought about one of them, but ruled it out due to the hassle involved it was over a year before i found the Brother i buy 10 packs of 50 blank sheets in a catridge at a time prints 500 ivoices for a £30 or so outlay.

Re: Which mobile printer?

ive got one of the brother mobile ones, never really been happy as text needs to be very small to fit onto invoice,

if anyone has a samplle invoice they could send me to see which way its done best that would be great.#

if not brother mobile bluetooth printer for sale 😉 😆

Re: Which mobile printer?

When i got my brother printer the print was to small when it reduced from A4 TO A6 for my invoicing, i tried to alter the font size myself but the programe i use is preset, so i emailed the suppliers to see if they could modify the programe for me, they couldnt have been more helpful it cost me £20, the plus side now when i print an A4 invoice to post out to letting offices etc the invoice is more balanced i feel as there was a lot of wasted space on the old ones.JJ

Thanks for the posts guys 😀

Still haven’t picked one yet. A6 is just too small, but if you want and A5 printer, everyone assumes you want to print photos.

Good for you Paul, in fact best you never trouble yourself with that dilema at all. As Jim intimated the mighty pen, paper, signature method has stood well for thousands of years and will so long after we leave this mortal coil. Simply produce to your customer that invoice/repair docket/receipt book on which to scribe your etchings and the result is far more lasting than anything these crappy toys produce!

Thermal printers are best confined only for credit/debit card receipts as within a few weeks the image fades and is lost forever.

Indeed, the printer I’m using at the moment is very light-weight and doesn’t break! Tis a pen 😉

It’s me dad that wants a printer.

Can’t see the point, it means you have to fire up your laptop, tap out the invoice on the screen and then print it.

I have pre printed, double copy carbonised invoices. Takes me a minute to make out the invoice at the end of a job with my trusty, free pen from Barclays. 8)

You can go overboard with technology to a point were you might think it impresses your customers but ATEOD doesn’t actually save you any time or money. :rolls:

but then you need to input it all into your pc when you get home, double information, time etc. I would love to be able to print out a reciept on the spot and have less to do in the evening and wouldnt have to put up with complaints about my handwriting.
