The best portable printer will depend on a variety of factors, including what you’re printing, how much you need to print, and whether the print jobs need to withstand harsh environments. Brother offers a range of portable printers to suit a wide variety of industries and applications, including the PJ-8 Series, which prints up to A4 size, as well as the RJ Series, which print labels and receipts from two to four inches in width.

The lightest portable printer at Brother is the RJ-2035B, weighing approximately 215 grams, including the battery. This versatile 2-inch receipt printer seamlessly serves customers both on the sales floor and in the field. With its small and lightweight design, it offers a wide range of connectivity options and effortlessly integrates into an array of existing systems.

These devices use direct thermal technology, a reliable printing solution that doesn't require ink, toner, or ribbons. This cutting-edge technology works by applying heat to special thermal paper, causing the paper to change colour and display the image or document being printed. With fewer moving parts, portable printers not only function more efficiently, but they also have less of a chance of breaking down or malfunctioning.

Yes, select portable printers from the PocketJet and RuggedJet ranges have optional accessories that allow these devices to be mounted inside a vehicle. There is a dedicated car mount that’s compatible with the PocketJet (PJ) Series, while there's also a vehicle docking unit that’s compatible with select models of the RuggedJet (RJ-4) Series. Brother also supplies optional car adapters for in-vehicle charging via a cigar socket or wire.

For receipts, barcodes and labels up to 3-inch wide, portable printers from the Brother RJ series are the best choice. Models like the Brother RJ-3250WB are rugged, fast and built for retail, logistics and warehousing environments. 

If you need to print up to 4-inch wide receipts and labels, the RJ-4250WB prints up to 4” width receipts, quotes, tickets, invoices and labels on demand. 

For full-page receipts and invoices, the PJ-series of portable printers can print up to A4 size.

Most portable and mobile printers focus on black-and-white for documents, labels and receipts. For colour, explore Brother’s inkjet range and colour laser models.
