Excellent thermal printer. Once the app is downloaded, it is easy to connect to your smart phone and to begin printing. A couple of things to note: 1) When you first run the app it will try hard to get you to subscribe to an image and storage plan, which is probably not bad, but just keep going till you work your way around it. At first I thought I could not print till I subscribed but that is not so. Now the offer to subscribe DOES NOT pop up when I run the app and printing is a breeze. 2) I have my own thermal paper but when I tried to put the two little white plastic things on the ends it made the roll to tight to turn in the tray. I took off the white end pieces for the paper roll, and it worked perfectly - just dropping the roll into the tray and closing the top. With those two discoveries, it is now a 5-star thermal printer. By the way, it works perfectly with those white end pieces on the rolls they provide but do not feel you have to get re-fills from them only. Power button on side, Top button for opening the paper access. I have other little printers that the top button is power so realize this is not the case here. The sample image you see is on green paper they provided, but on white a photo like this is rather amazing. It has about 10 filters to choose from, showing you exactly what the print will look like. This is a feature that leaves most other little Thermal Printers in the dust. This is portable, rechargeable and fabulous print quality, using the filters. It is great at this price.

Depending on which other Phomemo printers you may have previously used, you understandably might have low expectations for the T02's print resolution - I did, and boy was I surprised! I printed several of my own photos plus the Software's stock images and was impressed by how crisp and clear they came out on the supplied rolls of sticker paper. Great value for the price, better tech than my other Phomemo label printers.Some comments on the negative reviews for the T02:- Print Quality: be mindful of your text and image choices for sticker printing, as 'garbage in = garage out'. Tiny scripty text and low res photos are not going to print well regardless of the unit. Take the time to design a good product for printing.-Paper Quality: paper rolls that ship with this printer are NOT the thickness of a receipt. The sticker paper is sturdy, has good adhesion, and trims well.-App: uses a different Phomemo app than label printers, it is FREE to use, and only some of the AI features and specialty images will require a purchase or subscription. This is not uncommon in apps like this, and in no way prevents you from using the printer. (C'mon, you've probably got all the AI photo capabilities on your phone already - use them. And there are tons of free graphics online - use them!)- Support Issues: baffled by the amount of trouble some folks are having... Newbies? Anyway, same protocol as similar tools: use the correct app, confirm you have latest version, restart your phone, uninstall the app, then reinstall it. If unit still doesn't work, return to Amazon for refund or replacement. If you have past your return window, call Amazon - they can be super helpful in getting you a refund or replacement.

As much as I love this little printer, I have to admit that the constant money grabbing pop-ups and inability to use very cute templates unless money is paid has taken a good deal of the joy out of it. 😔Other than this major turn off, the printer works well, the free templates are cute, the scanning is good, the adhesion is strong, and the various printing options are helpful. Photo printing could use improvement as they come out pixelated-looking no matter the settings.

Before I start singing praises of this product, let me begin by mentioning that Phomemo’s products have previously saved me so much time and money with their efficiency. I owned a sticker printer from this company before, and the improvements I have seen from my first sticker printer to this one shows me that this company truly cares about its customers and tries to learn from its previous flaws. Firstly, the packaging of the whole sticker printer was so cute that I almost didn’t want to open it because it was nicely boxed. The next thing I noticed was how clear the instructions were and how they included pictures to explain every step of setting up the printer, which made it extremely easy to connect the printer via Bluetooth to the app. It also helps that once the initial setup is done, I can use the printer super quickly and on the go as I don’t have to set it up again, even if I put in new sticker paper. I just have to ensure I have my Bluetooth and the printer on.Additionally, the pictures in the instructions helped a lot with how to place the sticker paper in the printer (even with the white sticker papers), something I struggled with on my former sticker printer, and it barely took a minute to do it. This sticker printer is also small, so it’s easy to carry on the go, like when I go to my classes. Since I am not an artist, having this printer for my science courses would be really helpful for printing out necessary diagrams and models that pair well with my written notes. No more rough drawings; I can just search for a picture online or snap a pic from my textbook and print it out with this sticker printer. The stickers are also very easy to peel, and I like how this product comes with three different colored sticker papers, so I don’t have just white to use if I don’t feel like it (I like having some colors in my notes). Everything I printed came out nicely from its original picture and was exactly like how the preview showed it, even if the original had some fine lines. The price is also fantastic and is a money-saver, especially given that my school charges us for printing (which absolutely sucks). With this printer, I only have to pay for the sticker paper, which is loads cheaper than constantly paying for printing. The only con I have with this product is that it’s kind of hard to rip the stickers out cleanly, although that may be on me since, as the pictures I took revealed, the white sticker ripped out quite nicely.
