The Canon iP 100 Mobile Printer is a compact, lightweight printer that is ideal for on-the-go printing needs. At just 4.4lbs, this printer makes a nice companion when traveling. However, with a retail cost of approximately $249.99, what exactly does the Canon iP offer? Is it worth purchasing?
The printer comes with a 5-color ink system that is proven at generating photo quality prints. The 9600 X 2400 dpi resolution means you will be able to generate prints with spectacular quality. In addition, you will be able to make these prints quickly, since the printer can print up to 20 black pages and up to 14 color pages in a minute. This printer is easy to use, quick to set up and offers ease of mind to the professional on the go, enabling quick, effortless preparations for presentations, business documents, graphs, and other materials necessary to complete the job while away from the office.
The Canon iP is sold standard with the following features: IrDA compatibility and a BU-30 Bluetooth interface for wireless printing from your PC, PDA or even a camera phone. It comes with PictBridge compatibility for wireless printing of your photos without a PC, and a feature that allows you to auto-fix images, letting you touch up your photos from the comfort of anywhere you choose. Unfortunately, the printer does not come with a USB cable, which is necessary if you would like to connect to the printer from your computer. The manufacturer sells a rechargeable battery kit as well as a car adapter that may be purchased as optional accessories to enable the printer’s portability further.
Overall, reviews of the Canon iP are favorable. The biggest complaints stem from the lack of a USB cable being sold with the device as well as the limited number of copies, which may be printed from each cartridge. Since print cartridges are not inexpensive, the cost for printing from the device is a factor to consider. The lack of a travel case as standard with the printer has also been voiced as an unexpected disappointment. However, most reviewers are pleased with the speed and quality of the prints. Since the printer can print the following paper sizes: Letter, Legal, Credit Card, photo stickers, U.S. #10 Envelopes as well as a variety of photo sizes it is easy to see how versatile this device is for the user. The quality of prints can be attributed to the 5-color ink system and the Auto Image Fix feature, both of which ensure the best print is produced.
Whether you are working from home or the beach, the Canon iP Mobile will make maintaining your business needs easier while taking up very little space. If you are looking for a lightweight, easy-to-use printer that is portable and will produce a high quality image, this companion printer is a solid choice.
