I bought this thermal printer because it looked interesting. For the first 2-3 days I used it just for fun, printing all sorts of things. The print quality was not as good as I expected, especially for photos—they need to be black and white to look decent. For text, however, the quality is quite good. After about a week, I realised I was not using it much anymore. Now it just sits on the shelf, waiting for the rare moments when I actually need it. It is a fun gadget at first, but not something I use regularly. If you need a small printer for the occasional label, it might be useful; otherwise it is more of a curiosity.
