Canon PIXMA IP90 Mobile Inkjet Printer

This is a nice printer. Although, a bit expensive unless you can find on clearance as I did with a rebate that made it pretty cheap. It prints clear high quality pictures that look great with glossy type photo paper. It can print up to 12 pages per minute in color and 16 pages per minute in black & white; it holds up to 30 sheets in it's tray. This printer comes in handy because it's easily portable; I take it with me whenever I need to print documents or shipping labels and I don't have my main printer available. The ink cartridges are very small in my opinion.

It is compact and very portable, perfect for use with a laptop at other locations. Print quality is excellent and it can be operated from an optional rechargeable battery, giving the user total freedom from external power sources (with a laptop). On the downside, the ink cartridges have a very short life and the only cost effective solution is to buy generics in bulk on the internet. I have had mixed results from Canon printers in the past but to be fair I can say the same of HP and Epson. Portable printers like this tend to be pricey, about four times what you would pay for a comparable non-portable printer, but the convenience justifies the expense. I would not recommend one of these for someone who needed a home printer unless space was at a super premium.

Great printer for travel. The optional bluetooth and battery makes this an amazing machine. Between the wireless laptop and wireless printer . . . there is no where you can't go and nothing you can't do from virtually anywhere. The battery add a little extra weight but it is well worth it.

This printer is compact and capable. It is not very robust however so when traveling be sure the printer is protected from weight being placed on the cover. This can result in the carrier assembly becoming deformed and your paper will not feed. The ink cartridges are a little small but there is an adapter to change to larger cartridges. Given the scarcity of compact personal printers these days, this offering from Canon is reliable, fast enough and portable enough to be a welcome addition for the frequent traveler or minimalist.

I bought this printer for less than half the price that I would have paid in Israel for it even with the postage. I live in area that suffers from blackouts and the included car adapter gave me insurance. The main reason was to have a photo printer that would not take up too much space to record our first grandchild baby photos. Having performed the drudgeries of a color darkroom it was like graduating from a manual typewriter (for those who still remember) to a wordprocessor. The ink cartridges are expensive in Israel so ebay will probably be my source for consumables as well. Setup was straightforward. The first pictures were pinkos but the troubleshooting process cleared it up.
This is definitely a niche printer for those who need a portable (I am still looking to buy a battery) small footprint printer that produces quality results. It won't compete with my laser but then the laser won't go along on trips. The power supply is multivoltage and will thus serve road warriors.
