Portable Printer

Rating:

The Canon PIXMA iP100 Mobile Photo Printer is light and small enough that you can print documents wherever you go.  This product’s high resolution makes it one of the leading travel printers on the market and those who are familiar with the Canon name will find that this printer lives up to the brand’s reputation.  If you are looking for a way to print photos or documents while on the road, the Canon mobile photo printer is a great option.

One of the biggest draws for this printer is the fact that it not only prints photos with great clarity, but that it is capable of printing letter sized documents as well.  This feature does add a little bulk, but it makes it an appropriate addition to any business traveler’s list of must have items.  The black and white printing speed is not as fast as most desktop printers, but it is more than sufficient for the needs of most people on the go.  For those who are looking primarily for a printer from which photos may be printed, the printer is more than capable of printing frame worthy photographs quickly.  The software that accompanies the model allows users to color correct, saving time and money on additional software programs.

In addition to the now standard USB hookup for laptops and desktops, the Canon PIXMA iP100 is equipped with Blue Tooth technology.  This allows one to wirelessly print photographs and documents from mobile phones and PDAs.  Not only does this make it easier to retrieve cell phone pictures, it is a great asset for those who draft documents and store files on the memory of their PDAs.  For home use, it can be easily added to an in house network for use by any computer in your home.

At 4.4 pounds and 7.2 x12.7 inches, this Canon model is larger than many of the other photo printers currently on the market.  When considering this size differential, it is important to keep in mind that it is capable of printing much more than just photos.  With this added weight comes the ability to print standard documents that more traditional photo printers cannot produce.  The speed, durability and quality of prints has made this printer the printer of choice for many both while traveling and at home.

The Canon PIXMA iP100 can be purchased almost anywhere that Canon products are sold, and is available at most of online electronics retailers.  The manufacturer’s list price of $250 makes it a more expensive option than some lower quality photo printers, but it can be found for significant discounts with little searching.  Customers should keep in mind that use without the USB hookup will require the additional purchase of a battery pack, which is typically offered at around $100 or a car adapter, which may also be purchased separately.  The Canon PIXMA iP100 Mobile Photo Printer can be used with all Windows or Mac operating systems.
