Review on COLORWING Portable Printers Wireless For Travel Bluetooth Mobile Printer For Phone, Inkless Compact Printer For Laptop, Support 8.5" X 11" US Letter Size Thermal Paper (M08F-Letter) by Melanie Harris

When going to tabletop gaming conventions, it's a real challenge to work with players who have a mix of digital and paper resources. That is, it's fine if I can look up my character sheet on a tablet, but not as good if the other players can't. And it gets weird when I'm trying to share something easily, like pointing to my hit points or my armor class. I prefer paper for this sort of thing, not the least of which being that it feels like you're hiding your current hit points on a digital device from everyone else at the table. The alternative is to print stuff out.But printing character sheets is equally challenging. Conventions rarely have printers and if they do, they quickly run out of paper or ink. Hotels have business centers but they often charge for the privilege. And that's not usually helpful anyway because printing character sheets might have to happen on the fly. Finally, this is a solution.That said, there are compromises. This is a thermal printer that requires unique paper. It's not meant for printing a lot of pages, or graphics, or anything fancy. It's for text, which works just fine for character sheets, less so for handouts. Also, although it's listed as Bluetooth, that's for mobile only (and while you could print sheets from a mobile device, you probably don't want to). Your laptop will need to use a data cable, so that means bundling the printer, data cable, and paper with you when you travel.For players, this will work well when you can't get a print out anywhere else. For DMs, it's probably less useful but still more valuable than printing nothing at all.
