phomemo m02 mini thermal printer review + how I use it with my bullet journal

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Phomemo M02 Mini Bluetooth Portable Thermal Printer | April 2022 bullet journal plan with me | easy DIY stickers
If you're a keen bujo user but not loving your doodles or hand lettering, or just want to make setting up your bujo faster, a mini bluetooth printer from Phomemo might be exactly what you need! Yes, I set up April a second time to give it a proper test!
The folks at Phomemo very kindly gifted me this printer in exchange for this review. These are my honest thoughts.

    @@ErinSmiththank you so much. May I ask if when you first charged your phomemo m02 pro, the slow flashing white light continued throughout the whole charge period? I have purchased two units. and with both (using two separate leads), the light initially flashes for 5 minutes or so, and then it goes out completely - it seems the charging stops 🥺 I can’t get either to work as when I disconnect them they just fast-flash meaning ‘low battery’ - they don’t seem to be charging. Would appreciate any reply of your experience here in case I’m missing something, thank you so much 🙏🏼

  • @ErinSmith

    I prefer to peel it off the backing first, then cut it! The paper is designed so the edges stop a little before the edge of the backing, which makes it really easy to peel off, but if you cut that part off first and THEN try to remove the backing it is really hard!

    Mine came with a test paper roll inside (which I think is not a full roll) and a box with 3 rolls of 3.5 metres of paper. I used it for some test prints when I first got it, for my April bullet journal setup AND this video... and I'm still using the test roll! It depends on how big your designs are though, I have kept all my printing elements pretty small so far.

  • @ErinSmith

    Жыл бұрын

    It depends on a few factors - Phomemo have some papers that will last for different times, so that’s a factor. One of them is good 20 years! I don’t think I was using the 20 year one though 😅 Also being exposed to heat will make them fade faster. None of mine have faded yet at all but it’s only been about 6 months!

    I'm so sad that happened Cinti! I've heard it can happen, it seems like light, heat and humidity have a lot to do with it (which, yikes - that's my city's weather right there). Did you lose any really important data? Some of the papers on Phomemo's site have specific year ratings, like 10 years, 20 years, etc but others don't, so not sure how long they might hold up. I guess we'll know my the time we get to my next flip through video if the same curse has befallen me! 😅
