Review on Mini 2x3 Instant Bluetooth Photo Printer MT53 - iPhone/Android Compatible (White) by Ray Richards

Until I got this printer I didn't understand how the Zink (Zero Ink) printer industry makes everything proprietary. The listing says "Blue Tooth Printing" at first, but only through their app. The manual was vague about the software so I downloaded "Zinc Studio" from the Android App Store. Great app but only works on Brother's Happy Xink printer. OK. Then I saw a QR code. Used it to download software designed for this printer. This software is much more limited than the Brother software. The only options are to crop the photo or choose a frame. Then print. The printer came with 5 sheets of zinc paper. Luckily it worked, otherwise I wouldn't know if it worked at all. It really works and the prints look like small photos. Very good BUT. I used all 5 sheets for testing. When I ordered the printer, I also ordered 100 sheets of HP Zink paper for about $45. Load HP paper. Sorry, Supplies Mismatch - HP paper cannot be used. So I'm trying to find HPRT paper. Not easy to find - Revain will show you many OTHER Zink documents even if you type HPRT in the search. Did a google search and it brought me to the Revain list. Only available in one size - 10 sheets for 13.95. Getting 100 sheets like I did at HP would cost $139.50. 3 times the price (You don't have large quantities, you have to order 10 packs to get 100 sheets. $1.40 per image vs. $0.45 for HP. It can use Zero Ink, but these savings are NOT transferable. Try Also don't use this on anything other than Android or iPhone I've tried it on a Galaxy S7+ tab It works but the software is formatted for the phone On Windows 10 it connected via bluetooth but it didn't it showed "driver not available" when you download software google says "don't do this" because you are bypassing the google playstore as the software hasn't been verified this is called sideloading although I did this install after researching it HPRT as a company (they are a big manufacturer of commercial printers) it's usually not a good idea.. extremely limited.
