Canon iP100 Mobile Photo Printer (1446B002BA) Reviews
About 1 minute for a 3x5 and about 4 minutes for a 8x10. When printing images on glossy paper, they look amazing, and it is done very fast. I think its worth it, because I need the portability. It is very small and light, and I can easily carry it around in my backpack (which is really helpful). This is a fantastic little printer. Text is accurate and bold, and images show no banding and are very sharp (not full page U.S.
letter ones though). An overall great printer. It will cost you a little bit though. Setup is a little confusing and you need to be really careful when you install the print head, but when it is over, you won't have to worry about it ever again.
This is a simple procedure, and enhances the usefulness of the Bluetooth capability that is all but de rigueur when traveling. (As an aside, the Case-Mate Glovez 13" [for the MacBook 13" and Air] fits the Lenovo ThinkPad X300 perfectly). I found the perfect solution - from Case-Mate: go to http://www.case-mate.com/laptop/macbookpro15/15gblackcases2 and buy the 'Glovez 15"' sleeve (like a large envelope with a velcro closure / flap). The little Bluetooth adaptor also works very well. Best part: this 'Glovez' sleeve is only $9.99 + $3.99 S/H, and gets to you in a few days. It comes in an assortment of colors and is a skin-tight (but very workable) fit in the 'length' direction. When inserted, the printer doesn't take up every bit of the case in the 'width' direction, meaning there is just enough room to also accommodate the cord and AC brick.
It's not bulky - just what one wants to protect the printer but not take up room. Reading the manual ()., I discovered it is possible to mount the adapter permanently inside the printer so that it's not exposed and doesn't need attachment every time it is used. First impressions are very favorable. Throw these in, close the flap, and you're always ready to roll.
The installation / setup information is also in the electronic manual that comes on the CD. But as good as the printer is, it does not come with (nor does Canon offer) a case of any kind. We bought this little gem to take to Europe. It's small, reliable, and prints beautifully.
At just over four pounds, it's perfect for travel.
Fanning the paper before placing it in the feel tray helps rectify this. Setup was easy and it worked right out of the box. The only flaw is that it occassionally feeds multiple sheets of paper at one time. Print speed and quality is excellent. I purchased the Canon iP100 so I could have a small, compact printer in my travel trailer. This one fills the bill perfectly.
Thanks. The purchase of the Canon iP100 printer from Buy.Com through Amazon was quick, painless and at a good price.
Haven't printed photos, but for letters, Web page copies, even maps, quality matches my Epson printers. I don't have to go upstairs to the desktop printer anymore). Pricey, perhaps, but I've already taken this with me on a long weekend and was happy to be able to print out something I needed.
(But yes, it does spit out the pages from the table onto the floor; I attribute that to where I have it placed, and I don't care. Bought this to use while traveling, but once I set it up in an inconspicuous spot in the living room (where I spend way too much time with the laptop), I've been using it all the time. So no cables, just the print command from the across the room, and I'm in business.
I'll definitely find room in the luggage for this one. It's at least as fast as any other home printer I've had. I use a Mac, which comes with Bluetooth, and bought the adaptor.
I can access all the printer functions, including printer utilities, using Bluetooth which I can't with my Epson, which is networked through my Airport router.
