Summary: It really works
Comment: I bought this printer to take with me on an extended trip to Europe. It arrived 6 days before my trip began and I could never get it to work during the first day. I called the service number in Colorado and they immediately shipped me a new printer and a new cord since we concluded that it was the cord that might not be working. I received the new printer next day shipping and returned my printer to them in the box they had sent and kept everything else that had been included in the Amazon shipment. I also purchased the paper on a roll since that was easier to pack and seemed to work better for printing out longer documents (rather than having to hand feed every page).

I am now concluding my three week trip and have used the printer almost every day. It really works. I recommend it highly. And I was impressed with the quick service turnaround by the company.

Summary: Super small - super convenient
Comment: I got this Pentax printer for my recent 2 week trip to the UK. The Pocketjet3 Plus works like a charm. The print quality is decent, but I recommend setting it to the darkest setting because the default setting is usually too pale.

I charged the battery before my trip, printed about 30 pages during the 2 weeks in London, and the battery still has more than 50% charge left 3 weeks later.

You'll probably get a few interested stares if you use this printer in a public setting. I got a lot of curious looks at the Red Carpet Lounge at United Airlines. People found it curious something that small can print 8-1/2" by 11" paper. The folks at airport security were also curious a printer can be that small, fitting into my backpack.

The printer comes with a nice carrying case. But I suggest buying a small USB retractable cable for the printer, so that the printer and the retractable cable can all fit nicely into the one carrying case. I used a retractable USB cable that I bought for my Sony PSP for the Pentax printer instead. The USB cable that comes with the Pentax is too long and big to fit into the case together with the printer.

The printer is a bit on the expensive side, but considering the benefits: super convenience, portability, small size, and no need for printer cartridges -- you'll be proud of your purchase.
