RawBT Premium: What It Unlocks, Where to Get the APK Safely, and How to Remove the Watermark

22 October 2026 · 5 min read · By the Raw Print team

RawBT Premium is RawBT's paid license. It removes the short notice the free version prints on every receipt, and according to the developer that's the only difference: speed, print quality and features stay the same. The safe way to get RawBT is Google Play; the legal ways to remove the notice are buying the license or using a print app that never adds one. "Premium APK", "mod" and "unlock" downloads skip the payment but carry real risks for a device that handles your customers' receipts.

Disclosure: we make Raw Print, a free Android print app that doesn't add any notice to receipts. RawBT details come from its developer's published description, checked in October 2026. Check the current listing before you buy.

In short:

  • Download RawBT from Google Play ("RawBT inkless print service" by 402D).
  • Free version: everything works, with a notice printed on each printout.
  • License: removes the notice. It doesn't make printing faster and doesn't include support.
  • No notice for free: use a different print app that doesn't add one.
  • Avoid: modified or "full version" APKs from download sites.

Where to download RawBT safely

RawBT's official listing on Google Play is called RawBT inkless print service, published by 402D. Install it from there. Google Play checks apps for malware, updates them automatically and keeps your license tied to the official app.

APK download sites mirror the same app, and some copy it faithfully. The problem is you can't easily tell which copies are genuine, and they don't update themselves. If you must install an APK (for example on a device without Google Play), use a well-known mirror that verifies the developer's signature, and check that the developer name is 402D.

What RawBT Premium actually changes

RawBT's developer is unusually clear about this. The paid license removes the notice printed on the output, and the developer states that speed, possible errors and print quality are the same in both versions. The developer also notes that the license doesn't include consultation, so buying it doesn't get you setup help.

rawbt: links for web POSYesYes
Support from the developerNoNot included

So the real question isn't "what does Premium unlock?" but "is a clean receipt worth the license price for each device?" For one phone, it may well be. For a business with many tablets, multiply the price by every device.

How to buy and use the RawBT license

  1. Install RawBT from Google Play and set up your printer first. Make sure everything prints the way you want with the free version.
  2. Open RawBT and look for the license or purchase option, or visit the developer's website, rawbt.ru, for license information. The price shows in your local currency.
  3. Buy the license and print a test receipt to confirm the notice is gone.
  4. Before you buy for several devices, or if you plan to change phones, check the developer's terms for moving or sharing a license.

Why "RawBT premium APK" and mods are a bad idea

Search for "RawBT premium APK", "RawBT mod" or "RawBT full version" and you'll find sites offering a cracked copy. We won't link to them, and we'd urge you not to install one, for practical reasons:

  • Malware risk. A modified APK can contain anything. A print service sees every receipt you print, including customer names, phone numbers, addresses and order totals.
  • No updates. Modified apps don't update through Google Play. When Android changes Bluetooth permissions or background rules, the old copy stops working, usually during a busy shift.
  • Play Protect warnings. Android may flag or disable apps that don't match their original signature.
  • It's unfair to the developer. RawBT is maintained by a small developer. The license is how that work gets paid for.

If cost is the issue, there's a legal way to get clean receipts at no cost: use a different app.

How to remove the RawBT watermark (legally)

You have two options:

Option 1: Buy the RawBT license

Best if you need features only RawBT offers, such as Wi-Fi or Ethernet printers on port 9100, Star-compatible commands, or photo printers like Paperang and Peripage.

Option 2: Switch to a print app that doesn't add a notice

Best if you print to Bluetooth or USB receipt printers and want to pay nothing. Raw Print is free, adds nothing to receipts, shows no ads and needs no account. It also understands rawbt: links, so web POS systems written for RawBT usually keep working:

  1. Install Raw Print and run the 3-tap setup with your printer.
  2. Print a receipt from your POS. If Android asks which app should open the link, choose Raw Print and tap Always.
  3. If nothing happens, your POS probably uses an intent:// link that names RawBT's package. Ask your POS provider to send a plain rawbt: link instead, or remove the package= part.

Raw Print doesn't support network printers or cat-style photo printers, so check those cases first. Other options are compared in the best RawBT alternatives and the best thermal printer apps for Android.

Is RawBT worth paying for?

Pay for RawBT if it already works perfectly with your setup, you rely on its network or photo printer support, and you'd rather not change anything. Switch if you only use Bluetooth or USB receipt printers, you run several devices, or you want features like printing any language as an image and a guided setup. Either way, avoid the cracked copies.

Frequently asked questions

What does RawBT Premium remove?

The notice the free version prints on each printout. According to the developer, speed, quality and features are otherwise the same.

Is there a free version of RawBT without the watermark?

Not from the developer. The free version always prints the notice. To print without it at no cost, use a different print app that doesn't add one.

Is the RawBT APK safe?

The official app on Google Play is. APKs from other sites may be outdated or modified, and "premium" or "mod" versions are modified by definition. Avoid them on a device that prints customer data.

Does the RawBT license include support?

No. The developer states that the license doesn't include consultation. The website rawbt.ru has FAQs and instructions.

Will my web POS still work if I switch from RawBT?

Usually, if the POS uses plain rawbt: links and the new app supports them. Links written as intent://…;package=ru.a402d.rawbtprinter;end only open RawBT, so the POS would need a small change.
