Canon Intros PIXMA iP100 Mobile Printer
Hauling a full-sized printer has never been a viable solution for road warriors. A portable printer like the new Canon Pixma iP100 will sure come in handy. Canon has a long history making these mobile printers, so the 4.4 lb. iP100 could only be better if the engineers do their job right. The IP100 can print up to 9600 x 2400 dot per inch (DPI) resolution with speed about 14 ppm in color and 20 ppm in black. The black ink tank has been increased by 50%, reducing the risk of running out of ink during a last-minute project.
The $249.99 iP100 comes with all the interfaces you would expect on a mobile printer, including USB 2.0 and IrDA; and Bluetooth is yours for $49.99. PictBridge is available if you want to print directly from your digital camera or DV camcorder. The printer can also operate on battery, available as yet another optional accessory for $99.99, and on a 3-hour charge, it can last for about 290 pages. Lastly, for another $89.99, a automobile power adapter allows drawing electricity from a car’s 9V socket.Permanent Link
