Liene M100 4x6'' Photo Printer, Wi-Fi Picture Printer, 20 Sheets, Full-Color Photo, Instant Phone Printer for iPhone, Android, Smartphone, Thermal Dye Sublimation, Portable Photo Printer for Home Use

I bought this little printer almost two years ago because I wanted to print some pics from my phone. It was easy to connect, easy to print, and pretty much dummy proof for us technology challenged individuals. After I printed some picks, life happened, got sidetracked off that project, and the printer got put on a shelf and forgotten about. Almost two years later, I decided to continue my project. Found the printer, but no directions. Luckily for me, this brand gives step by step instructions online. The printer was just as I left it with the ink cartridge and paper still installed as well as plus a few dust bunnies that sadly had to find a new home. It wasn’t long after that I was back to printing pictures from my phone again. Oh, and the 2-year old pics? Still as vibrant as a new one, and yes, I checked. I highly recommend this printer/brand if you want an easy was to print photos from your phone.

Incredible quality! I was skeptical at first but... Wow!I bought this printer yesterday, on a whim, as a last minute replacement for a very well known name brand 4x6 photo printer. The original printer printed very poorly and only lasted about 90 (bad) prints. Yesterday, it started squealing, eating the film cartridge, and printing partial images.I needed another printer fast and decided upon this Liene M100 4x6'' Photo Printer.I am so glad I did. I am thrilled with this one!Last night, I printed 30 images that were as clear and colorful as any print I ever had printed professionally.There was little to no set up. Even the wireless took seconds to configure.You can print directly from your phone photos or use the app.You have more control over cropping and such in the app but both methods worked great.When not in use, the printer and paper tray stack nicely for storage.I cannot say enough good things about this printer. I repeat - Wow!

The printer and app work really great and print high quality photos, I was really happy with convenience of printing at home. But, The printer I bought came with 1 ink cartridge and it was enough ink for only 23 photos so that was very disappointing to have run out so soon.The company does not sell just ink cartridges by themselves so I'd have to buy ink with more paper.I already purchased 200 sheets of photo paper and don't need or want to buy 80 sheets of paper just to get a cartridge.They advertise that each ink cartridge can print about 40 pictures but mine only printed 23.It's difficult finding a cartridge that will work for this printer model so now I will most likely return the printer and look for one that you can buy the accessories separatelyUPDATE: the customer service reached out and were very helpful and accommodating. They determined my printer had a default with the ink reader, they corrected the problem and sent a new printer with additional ink cartridges right away. I was happy with the care and concern of the company. I have set up the new printer and it seems to be working good and hoping it works in the long term because it really is a great and convenient printer that prints quality photos!

Changing my review from 1 Star to 5 Star. I eventually did hear back from customer service and was given a dedicated person to talk to. They sent me a new printer and it set up very easily this time and printed beautiful photos!! Very satisfied with the resolution of my issues.I was unable to get this printer connected to my Android phone, I kept getting an IP Configuration Failure error. I tried all their troubleshooting recommendations, several times, and none worked. I tried contacting their customer service but never heard back. I am giving up and returning this product. I do not get the impression they care about their customers or they would have made an effort to assist me with this issue. Not even considering another one of their products!

[ 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.
