Game changer for artists and journalists when you get a little practice

Firstly I have an iPhone and had no trouble downloading or running software on my old iPhone. I also had no problems connecting to the printer. Editing and creating the label was also easy. The only problem I have with this machine is figuring out when it will start printing. There is no way to "align" what you see on screen, and when and where it might be printed, so you'll need to "practice" on scrap paper first to figure out where to print . But it's AWESOME. Device. I use this in art journals, general writing journals and planners, and label making and it's a game changer. You literally just roll it across the page - you don't even have to be precise with your movements - and it basically prints out exactly what you type on your iPhone screen. As someone who hates their handwriting, this device will absolutely change my life, especially when it comes to journaling. In artistic and creative applications, this gives me more flexibility in when and where I can place text and graphics, and I can do it anywhere and on almost any surface without having to transfer images or jam things through my printer. At first I was frustrated that I didn't get the black ink (mine was yellow) but I realized that light yellow is actually good because I can print with yellow ink (which is pretty light) and then go through it with a pen or Pencil or even paint and make it look like I have hand drawn or drawn text.Graphic on my page. It's much better than stencils, letter stickers or stamps. Like I said, this is a game changer for me. There's a bit of practice and imprecision involved, but if you can live with it not being perfect, I can't recommend it highly enough. I'm excited to see how this technology develops - the creative possibilities are overwhelming.
