Our take on the Portable Thermal Printer TP6

The Luxoti TP6 is a pocket-sized Bluetooth thermal printer that prints on 57mm paper at 200dpi without ink. It pairs with Android and iOS phones through the iPrint app, which adds fonts and themes, and its 1200mAh battery means no power cord on the go. It suits people who want quick photo strips, labels or notes from a phone. Against rival mini thermal printers it is basic: fixed 57mm paper, no cartridge system, and a 2.2-star rating from 18 buyers suggests the print quality and app fall short of what shoppers expect.
