4 1/2 inch paper roll is to small. Plus refills would be next to impossible to get. Its thermal like fax machime. No color.

Actually the refills are all over eBay. And geeks.com sells the printers for $19.99. I've been debating on getting one, there have been some issues getting it working right from doing some searches of this forum before.

Sure it's not color or full size sheets of paper, but if you just need to print basic stuff anywhere, it'll work fine and pretty cheaply.

I bought one a few years ago for $100 at Staples or something. My husband needed a small portable printer for his mobile business to print receipts in the field. Compared to the alternatives avaliable at the time, to the tune of $1500 and up, this was a bargin. It works great for people who do home parties.

yes!, Once in while, when on the go. :approve:

I'm guessing the Size is 6"x8"x1". Comes with little carrying bag.

Uses 4 Batteries (AA) I think.

Uses IR to print.

Sipix (a6) Paper

Hi,
I saw it listed as 'Sipix A6 Printer.' I bought one about a year ago for printing on-the-spot invoices/estimates/receipts and it's great! I carry mostly all of my gadgets in a small tote bag, and it fits right in with the rest of my adapters (in its bag). I create the document on my X50V and iR print it right away. There is also a serial cable that can be used with a laptop/pc if desired. I prefer the iR on my PDA.

I bought this software called 'Lowfatinvoice' to work from and I print in the field or at home when I mail products to customers. Look for it at 'LowFatSoftware.com.' It's all good if you want to give a receipt for a yard sale, on-the-fly transaction, or whatever your imagination creates. It also has the capability to CAPTURE THE SIGNATURE and DATE of the transaction and stores them on your PDA for review/printing/export via html. Say, if you give someone a 5/10/30 day estimate/discount, you can have a signed proof of the offer. Sell a car, pet, etc. and you have a ready receipt.

I sell the paper (4 1/8" wide rolls) in various quantities on eBay (Sipix Paper) if anyone is interested. Beware that this paper IS NOT 4 1/2" wide as someone mentioned in a post. A6 is a European standard. This paper is treated for thermal ops, so there is no need for an ink cartridge.

Only IR and serial? I would have bought one if there was a faster method to print OR if it was a color printer. for now, I will settle with my desktop printer.

still, it is a good one for those who need prints on the move. :approve:
