Edit: I forgot to welcome new subscribers. Like, really what was I even thinking?
So—let's all pretend I did not forget—welcome!
It's some no brand models (I purchased two, one a dedicated BT printer to pair with my phone, the other is a full camera with a similar thermal printer but no BT pairing) I got on Aliexpress, I think it was there. One is a bright green dinosaur of some sort and the other one is a pink/bright squarish box with pink cat ears because, of course, it has ears and why go serious when you can not go serious at all? ;)
The BT printer one works fine with the iPhone (I just had to manually find the correct app through trial and errors because the link provided in the doc did not work). Unsurprisingly, the dedicated camera one (which does not work as a BT printer for a phone, sadly) is really crappy but still good fun and I think it would be hit for any kid or teen using one with their friends.Also, the camera one was supposed to come with a SD card... It does, it was one of those scam ones with close to zero storage (I was aware it would likely happen but better be clear: don't consider that card a given, even if it's featured)
They certainly do not play in the same league as dedicated serious portable photo printer, hence the serious price difference but that's also the reason why they can be so fun to use: they're cheap and the thermal receipt paper is even cheaper (and can be found anywhere at least for now, no idea for how long). Their battery is fine and they print rather quickly. All one needs to please friends without throwing money out of the window.
Thanks for the tip! I'll look into this. Maybe I need to go look for a cat-eared pink camera as well! ;)
