Liene M100 4x6'' Photo Printer, Phone Printer 100 Sheets & 3 Cartridges, Full-Color Photo, Portable Instant Photo Printer for iPhone Android, Thermal Dye Sublimation, Wi-Fi Picture Printer 100 Papers

I am super impressed by this product! It turned out to be way better than I expected!It comes well packaged and secure. The instructions are easy to follow- easy to set up, app works well, photos print exactly how they look on my phone, and it prints fast. Each photo pack brings 20 sheets and that’s the capacity for the printer sheet holder; 20 at a time. I tried one by one and then did 5 at once and it printed out with no issues.The design of the printer itself is perfect because it’s small enough for travel and storage. I think it’s worth every single penny!! I also bought the one that brings extra sheets of photos and it brought 2 extra “ink replacement.”Overall, I’m extremely happy with my purchase and would recommend this product to others.

Easy to use. Suitable paper capacity for selling at craft shows. The ink hasn't run out, and the colors are vibrant. Functions great and was easy enough to set up.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:After returning a Kodak photo printer I ordered the Liene. What a difference in quality. The Kodak was cheaply made, poor operating instructions and wouldn't pair with bluetooth. The Liene was very well packaged, more solid product and very good user manual Was very easy to connect and printed a great picture. Definitely choose this over Kodak

For the price this printer is offered, I was skeptical about it's quality. In a nutshell, I am very pleased with it. Besides that it prints beautiful photos, it seems well thought out and designed, quite portable. The only drawback is the proprietary photo paper, ink cartridge packs you have to buy from them. Time will tell if that becomes an issue because of cost or limited availability.In the meantime I love that I don't have to worry about ink drying out in the print head (ink jet). It's very easy to setup and use and prints a photo in less than a minute.Using this with a Windows PC, I did have to do a little trial and error on getting full size prints. Various apps caused different results often not using the full 4x6 size. What ultimately worked for me is to simply save my work to jpg in whatever app I used and then use Windows photo app to print as it prints what you see on its preview screen. I haven't tried from a phone app yet.Overall I'm very impressed so far.

[ Update July 18, 2025. The company got in touch regarding some of the observations in the review and has said they're working on software and documentation updates. I appreciate their response and for that reason I'm adding 1 star to the rating. If the software updates are good I'll definitely increase to 5 stars. Considering the excellent print quality, it's certainly worth 5 stars.]The print quality is fantastic. I've been taking and printing photographs for a long time and have never seen such excellent quality right out of the box, so to speak. The Liene completely smokes my wife's older Epson 4x6 inkjet printer (which we stopped using due to connection problems and inkjet clogging).«Liene Image quality»Given a properly exposed and correctly color-balanced original image, you'll get outstanding print quality—see the photos I've attached to the review. The reproduction of the bright red in the one picture is flawless. (Both were taken by a mobile phone.) Neither photo has gained or lost contrast. The neutral areas are very clean. Highlight detail is preserved perfectly. The prints are 99% faithful to the originals. Excellent results.«Connection»We connected a Google Pixel 7A and an iPhone 16 to the printer without difficulty right after installing the Liene apps. The connections were instant—faster than Bluetooth.Now the bad news—why I gave the printer 3 stars instead of the 5 stars it deserves (!).Part of the problem is the software itself. There are also major documentation issues. Liene has got to improve its documentation!«Internet access disabled»Apparently by design, the Liene private wifi network is not meant to connect to the internet. On both Android and iPhone, when we connect the phones to the printer their internet access is disabled even if the phones are still connected to our home wifi. I'm guessing this is how it's supposed to work when a phone connects to a private wifi network lacking internet access.When we were running the Liene app and wanted to connect from within it to Liene's own site, we first had to turn off the phone-to-printer connection.It might all be by design but it was downright confusing until we realized the private network was the problem. Liene should document this _explicitly_.«Compatibility issue: Lenovo tablet»The Google Play store informed me that the Liene app can't be installed on my Lenovo tablet, which is running the latest Android version. The software just isn't compatible with that model. Disappointing. I don't know if this applies to other Android tablets or iPads. It's another thing Liene should document explicitly. (But, why not make the app compatible with tablets in the first place?)«Unpleasant bug in the iPhone app»When I print from the Android phone, when I'm done I can return immediately to my photo gallery (within the Liene app) and find something else to print. No such luck with the iPhone.After my wife made her first print on the iPhone, the Liene app has remained stuck on that first image. We haven't been able to "clear" the photo and display her photo gallery again within the app. It seems to me we'll have to uninstall and reinstall the app on her phone. But then we might have the same problem again. Super annoying.She did find a workaround: She opens the iPhone's photo gallery, picks one or more image(s), and prints directly to the Liene. But then she can't select certain features provided by the Liene app. She's ok with it for now, but it's far from ideal. That bug needs fixing.The workaround doesn't work at all on my Android phone. When I try it, I get only an error message saying that the phone can't find the printer, even though they are already connected. It's another thing Liene needs to fix.«Annoying design flaw in the Android app»I was kind of astonished that I can print only one image at a time via the Liene app. It does not support selecting more than one image at a time. Come on, Liene—why limit the software that way? It isn't exactly a benefit to the user.Conclusion:So we figured out how to deal with these issues, and as I say the print quality is outstanding. We'll live with limitations for now considering the high quality prints. But Liene REALLY needs to work on its software issues and documentation.

I love this printer. Color quality is incredible. It’s fairly easy to set up and use. I have not had it that long so really cannot comment on ink capacity or battery life. As far as durability, I would suggest buying the case. Highly recommend.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Amazing instant photo printer! It’s so easy to set up, it actually took me longer to get it out of the box than to set it up. And most importantly it prints very clear pictures!
