PocketJet 7 versus PocketJet 8
Inviting all PocketJet 7 fans to test drive the supercharged PocketJet 8
Buckle in, because the PocketJet is trailblazing full-page mobile printing again. Starting with faster speeds from the point you power on to printing out – you save time on every print. The PocketJet 8 is refining what you already love in compact printing with improved print quality and upgraded connectivity options.1 Bonus, we kept it the same perfect size so your existing PocketJet 7 accessories and mounts are compatible! Let’s dig in to the newest features that’ll get you revving.
Ready…set…go!
We’ve fine-tuned the PocketJet to be fast…faster… the fastest full-page mobile thermal printer in the PocketJet lineup. Think 13.5 ppm with improved speed of 3.0 inches per second. While the PocketJet 7 boasted an impressive 9.8 ppm and 1.6 inches per second, we think the difference is clear. And that’s not all: we’ve dramatically reduced first page output time, from 23.9 seconds to 6.1 seconds.
Meet needs beyond speed
While you’ll love the new pace of the PocketJet 8, there’s even more to be excited about. There are new ways to connect and integrate, customization options, more media options, and an expanded 2-year limited warranty. The new PocketJet 8 leverages dual radios and USB-C technology so you can charge and communicate, all from one cable. It’s technology, untangled.
You might just have to see it to believe it—so claim your free demo printer today or check out this in-depth PocketJet 7 and PocketJet 8 comparison.
