There are many cheap printers, but you are very
difficult to find cheap printer suit yourself. But if you consider items like
printers, they are like investments because they are long-lasting and very
functional. So if you are looking to buy a photo printer, you consider it. It
is better to buy a printer that is not exactly cheap, but it is more affordable
to very good quality. And that is exactly what the Canon PIXMA iP100 Mobile
Photo Printer offers. This review will cover everything you need to know about
this device.
This sleek and stylish
printer is easily portable and produces print and photos of remarkable quality
at an amazing speed of less than a minute for a print of 4x6 inch. Canon PIXMA iP100 is the ideal printer to carry while travelling. Especially for
professionals who want to print photos with color best for their customers.
Even on a leisure trip Canon Pixma IP100 will help you take photos and
postcards. The printer is tough, sturdy and compact enough to be easily put
into your travel bag. It can be optionally be used with a car adapter or with a
battery thus making it all the more portable.
Printing and Other Functions
Despite its small size, the
printer is very high quality and can certainly fit the needs of the user. It
can print to a speed of 20 pages per minute for black documents and 14 pages
per minute for colored documents. It can even print borderless on postcard or
4x6 size papers within 50 seconds. Compared to many other cheap printers, it
really is very impressive.
The maximum resolutions of
the printer vary according to the colors used. For black ink, the maximum
resolution is 600x600 dpi, while for colored images, the maximum resolution is
9600x2400 dpi. The colored resolution is indeed very high and this guarantees
you that every image that you print on this device will come out in perfect
blend, rich in color, and detailed in the most vivid way. Since this is a
dedicated photo printer, you wouldn't expect anything less than that.
For a mobile photo printer,
this is very flexible because it can print even on standard size papers. The
compatible paper size for this model are credit card (2.13" x 3.39"),
4" x 6," 4" x 8," 5" x 7," 8" x 10,"
letter (8.5'' x 11''), legal (8.5'' x 14''), U.S. #10 envelopes, and photo
stickers.
Probably the most lacking
feature of this device is the battery operation which is a must for travel and
other portable devices, but there is an optional Lithium-ion battery that Canon
offers which is compatible with this product.
Other Features
This is a very quiet printer.
The maximum sound level of this device is 38.5 dB in the best quality mode, and
this is better than many other models with a level of 50 db or higher. This
device also has very minimal energy consumption, with a maximum of 9W when in
use and a minimum of 1.5W when on standby. This model is also a member of the
Generation Green campaign of Canon which is a movement that aspires to create
energy conserving devices for the preservation of Mother Nature. Included in
this campaign are the features of this model which are Energy Star
qualification, 4 in 1/2 in 1 printing, and ink saver mode.
The Good
One can print on the go without bothering about wires as it has batteries and can be connected to a car adapter as well. A camera or a DV Camcorder can also be connected. The adapter can be permanently mounted in the printer so that it need not be attached every time.The Bad
The printer is excellent but unfortunately it is not covered by a case. Moreover, when many sheets are loaded simultaneously the feeder grabs the sheets all at once. This makes it impossible to print more than two sheets at a time. The printer sometimes gets jammed.Conclusion
If you are looking for an cheap
mobile printer with Bluetooth connectivity, wireless operation, and an easy to
use control panel, this is exactly the opposite of what you're looking for. But
if what you're looking for is a high quality printer which can rival the other
cheap printers in the market, then the Canon PIXMA iP100 Mobile Photo Printer
is perfect for you. I highly recommend this model for anyone out there who's
looking for not only a portable photo printer, but also a completely functional
and top class printing device that can truly deliver excellent quality
printouts.
