The smallest printer on test by some margin, the MT800 is just 310.5 x 63.5 x 39.5mm and 766g in weight. It has a single USB-C port which it uses for power, and to charge its 2000mAh battery – with 26 hours of standby time. Mac drivers need to be installed manually and the printer only works over USB-C with the Mac, not wirelessly even though it does show up as a Bluetooth device. It works fine using Bluetooth, where the companion app can be used to configure the printer from a tablet or phone. It’s straightfo­rward, though could benefit from refinement where translatio­ns from Chinese don’t quite land. Feed it a single sheet of A4 at a time and you get monochrome-only prints at just under 15 pages per minute. Printing is done via a thermal transfer ribbon and print quality is good, if not stellar. There are tradeoffs here, but it is the most portable model on test.
