How does it differ from the Syncotek MPT II?
The Gprinter PT280 and Syncotek MPT II are portable Bluetooth receipt printers designed for mobile work. The main practical advantage of the PT280 is its replaceable batteries: two 18650 batteries are included, so a discharged battery can be replaced immediately with the spare one.
