Inkless Printer FAQs

Everything you need to know about setting up, using and caring for your LumiFlick Inkless Portable Printer.

About the printer

What is the LumiFlick Inkless Portable Printer?

The LumiFlick Inkless Portable Printer is a compact direct thermal printer for documents, webpages, notes and monochrome images. It weighs 500 g, has a built-in rechargeable battery and is designed for printing at home, at work or while travelling.

How does it print without ink or toner?

It uses direct thermal technology. The print head applies heat to compatible thermal paper to create the image, so there are no ink cartridges, toner or ribbons to replace.

Does it print in colour?

No. The printer produces monochrome thermal prints. It is best suited to clear documents, forms, notes, webpages and reference images rather than colour photo printing.

What comes in the box?

Your order includes 1 LumiFlick Inkless Portable Printer, 1 USB-C charging cable, 1 user manual, 1 starter thermal-paper roll for setup and testing, and the product packaging.

Is the printer portable?

Yes. It weighs 500 g and has a built-in rechargeable battery, making it easy to move between home, work and travel. Once charged, it can print without being connected to a power outlet.

Setup and compatibility

Which phones and tablets are compatible?

The printer connects to supported iPhone and Android devices by Bluetooth through the HerePrint app.

Can I print from a Windows PC or Mac?

Yes. Windows and Mac computers connect to the printer by USB. Follow the user manual to install the required software and complete setup.

Do I need Wi-Fi?

No Wi-Fi connection is required to send a print job through the supported Bluetooth or USB connection. Internet access may still be needed when downloading the app or computer software.

How do I set up the printer?

Charge the printer, load compatible thermal paper, download the HerePrint app on mobile or the required software on your computer, connect by Bluetooth or USB, then select your file and print. The included manual guides you through each step.

Which app does the printer use?

For iPhone and Android printing, use the HerePrint app. For Windows or Mac, connect by USB and follow the software instructions in the user manual.

How is the printer charged?

The printer has a built-in rechargeable battery and charges through the included USB-C cable. Battery runtime varies with print volume and usage, so recharge it when the battery indicator is low.

Paper and print quality

What paper does the printer use?

Use compatible direct thermal paper. The printer supports A4, A5 and US Letter sizes. Thermal paper is required because it contains the heat-sensitive coating used to create the print.

Can I use ordinary printer paper?

No. Ordinary inkjet or laser paper will not work because the printer uses direct thermal technology. Always use compatible thermal paper in a supported size.

What is the print resolution?

The printer has a 300 dpi resolution for clear text, forms, notes and everyday documents.

What can I print?

You can print documents, webpages, notes and images from a compatible device. Images are produced in monochrome, and results will vary depending on the source file and thermal paper used.

Where can I get replacement paper?

Choose compatible direct thermal paper in A4, A5 or US Letter size. If you are unsure whether a paper product is suitable, contact LumiFlick support before purchasing.
