What is a mobile printer?
A mobile printer is a compact, portable device designed for printing documents, photos, labels, or other projects on the go. These printers are smaller and lighter than traditional desktop printers, making them ideal for use outside of the office or home.
Mobile printers vs traditional printers
Mobile printers and traditional printers both offer unique functionalities that cater to different user needs.
Mobile printers are compact, lightweight and designed to be used on-the-go. They are often powered by rechargeable batteries, removing the need for a fixed power outlet. Mobile printers rely on wireless technologies such as Bluetooth or WiFi for connectivity.
Mobile printers have smaller paper trays and are limited to specific paper sizes, usually up to A4. This means that their print speed is slightly slower, due to compact design and lower power consumption.
The differences in mobile, pocket and portable printers
Mobile, pocket, and
portable printers may sound alike, but they have distinct differences when it comes to their size, features, and practical purposes.
Mobile printers are compact, lightweight printers designed for use on the go, typically for professionals who need to print documents or receipts while traveling or at client locations.
Pocket printers are ultra-compact printers small enough to fit in a pocket or purse, designed primarily for casual, small-format printing like photos or labels.
Portable printers are a general category that encompasses both mobile and pocket printers but are typically more versatile and slightly larger than pocket printers. These can handle multiple formats, including photos and labels but are commonly used for receipts and documents.

Common questions
Are mobile printers more expensive than traditional printers?
In general, some mobile printers tend to be more expensive than traditional printers on a cost-per-print basis. This is due to their compact design, specialised technology and portability. The higher cost can be worth it for the added convenience of a mobile printer. However, we do offer affordable options to suit every budget. If you are unsure of which mobile printer would work best for you, please get in touch and speak with a member of our customer service team.
What are mobile printers used for?
Mobile printers are designed for convenience, allowing users to print on-the-go without needing a fixed printer setup. They are commonly used for both professional and personal projects, and are the perfect solution for busy individuals who require printing capabilities anywhere, anytime.
What ink do mobile printers use?
Many mobile printers use zero ink technology (ZINK), for example, the Canon Zoemini 2. This printer uses ZINK paper embedded with colour crystals that activate with heat to create colourful, smudge-proof images. Some portable inkjet printers, often used for documents or larger prints, can produce high-quality colour prints with traditional ink cartridges.
Devices like the Fujifilm Instax cameras use instant film to produce colourful prints with a retro aesthetic. You can find all relevant ink, paper and film products on our website today!
