Welcome to our community

I am looking for a basic printer for mobile use (12volts). As long as it prints, the features are not that important.

Should I use a purpose built unit or should I use an inverter (12-230 Volt).

Open to any suggestions if you have any experience?

Hi Oscar
It depends on what you want to use it for. 12v printers do tend to be a little expensive and are used for specialist purposes. For example for our motorsport sprints and hillclimbs we use a simple 12v dot matrix printer for the times. These simple printers retail for £200 - £300 and are very low spec. If you have enough Amp/Hours of power you may be better off with a 12v DC -> 230V AC inverter and a basic printer. As it happends I have a 24 pin dot matrix Epson which may be suitable.

Thank's for the information.

"It would look nice in colour"

"Pink" I said

I cannot tell you the reply.

So I am going to try an inkjet and power it from an inverter for the moment.
