Planon PrintStik PS910

We thought thermal paper was dead and buried along with mimeograph paper, but look out, it's back!

Small; useful in dire printing emergencies

Expensive refills, pathetic graphics output, pricey

The printer can connect to a device via USB or Bluetooth. The latter could be used for connecting to a phone, but only BlackBerry drivers are currently available—Planon says it will add other phone types. We tried to print from our Bluetooth-enabled...

PlanOn Printstik PS910 Mobile Printer

This mobile printer is lightweight, connects via Bluetooth, and runs on battery power. But its speed and quality are lacking.

Conveniently slim design ; Built-in battery

Slow and noisy ; Paper is thin and flimsy ; Currently only works with BlackBerry and Pocket PC phones ; Refill paper cartridges are expensive

The PlanOn Printstik provides a solution to what some business travelers find to be a real problem: how to print on the go without access to an outlet. We love the Printstik’s lightweight design and that it runs on battery power, but the paper is...

Planon PrintStik PS910

To say that we rarely review thermal printers is an understatement. With the notable exception of label printers, thermal printers fall into such a special-purpose nichemuch like dot-matrix printersthat there's rarely any good reason for us to look...

Extreme portability. Rechargeable battery. Prints via Bluetooth or USB. Prints from most BlackBerry models

Thermal printing technology uses special, expensive paper. Slow ; Watch the Planon PrintStik PS910 Video Review

Although limited in many ways by its thermal printer technology, the Planon PrintStik PS910 succeeds as a lightweight, highly portable option for printing on the go.

Life-saver for the constant traveler

Great product. I needed to get a printer that traveled well and didnt take up too much room. This was it! It doesnt print as well as a desktop or laser printer but it is perfect for the business traveler that needs to print a quick report or map, etc....

Terrible experience with this company

I placed this item on my wish list. It was purchased by a friend. The cheaper incorrect model was shipped instead. It arrived broken. Customer service was rude when we contacted them. They refused to ship the correct model. This turned out to be a...

PLANon PrintStik PS910 - Portable Printer

Need an ultra-compact printer for printing on the move? This could be the answer.

If you really need a printer which takes up very little room and can print autonomously, without external power or paper, the PrintStik is pretty much your only choice. For any other portable application, though, we'd looked elsewhere.
