Our take on the Brother PocketJet 8 PJ-883 Mobile Direct Thermal Printer

The Brother PocketJet 8 PJ-883 is a portable monochrome direct thermal printer built for printing quotes, invoices and reports on the move. It prints on A4, A5, legal, labels and rolls up to 8.5 inches wide at up to 13.5 pages per minute, and connects over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and USB-C. It weighs about 1.1 lb and fits in a briefcase or computer bag, with an optional vehicle mount and optional AC or battery power. It suits field sales, service and delivery staff who need documents printed on site; it cannot print in color and needs thermal paper, so it is not a replacement for an office laser printer.
