These little thermal printers are all the rage amongst the planner community. Check out my favorite Mini Thermal Printer, the Phomemo.

What is a thermal printer, and what’s so great about it?
Thermal printing is a digital printing process that produces black and white images onto thermal paper.
You know, like the ones that receipts are printed on and even some shipping labels.
There are so many reasons to use a thermal printer!
1. No ink cartridges
2. Fast printing
3. Cost-effective
4. Environmentally friendly
Why you should NOT get a thermal printer!
If you are looking for a mini printer to print color images, this printer is NOT for you.
If you are looking for a way to print images that will last a lifetime, a thermal printer is NOT for you!
While images will only last up to two years on some Phomemo Sticker paper, they do offer more paper options that will last up to 20 years.
So, if long-time archiving is your goal, you may want to look into a printer like the Canon Selphy or the HP Sprocket.
The Phomemo M02
This Mini Thermal printer with Bluetooth capabilities makes it oh-so-easy to print stickers directly from your phone or iPad.
How I’m using mine
I use a Canon Selphy for all of my journal pictures, but I wanted one of these tiny thermal printers so badly. I wasn’t even sure what I wanted it for, I just knew I needed to have one.
Then voila, it arrived at my door, I ripped it open, and then it sat on my desk for over a week.
I was stumped! I had no idea what I actually wanted to use it for.
Finally, I realized it would be perfect to print my Doodle A Day pictures so that I could stick them on my daily pages. Genius! It would be a great way to document my progress and add a little decor to my normally boring planner pages.
And then the floodgates opened! I started to realize all of the things I could print on this adorable little printer, instead of using my Brother label maker.
Do you have a Brothers Label Maker? The label refills are NOT cheap!
I have now made labels for my VDS planner…
Flashcards, and my hard drives!
I’ve also printed a few quote stickers and fun images to decorate my monthly pages.
