Small Portable Printer


Mobile Photo PrinterPrint your documents anywhere using small portable printers. Unlike ordinary ink-jet and laser printers which are heavy and bulky, these printers like the HP and Canon small portable printer are light and compact, perfect for people who travel a lot and always on the go like students, businessmen and publishers. If you are a student or perhaps a writer who always brings your laptop and work away from school or office, no need to go to a printing shop or go back home just to print a few documents. Just plug-in your laptop printer via USB port and print directly or you can use the built-in IRDA technology for wireless printing. Powered by a battery, it can print several pages before it finally runs out of power. With its sleek and compact design, it occupies small space and can fit into a briefcase easily.

A two-tank ink system ensures that prints are always on the money, with one tank containing four colors and black, and a second, black only cartridge. They are great at printing text, graphs and charts. Fonts appear crisp with sharp edges, although they tend to bleed a little at very low font sizes. For photos, however, the quality isn’t that special and can appear washed out and banded.

Another type of a portable printer is the thermal printer that doesn’t use ink. Instead, it uses a thermal paper, the principle it uses is exactly the same as the ordinary fax machine at your office. A good example of a thermal portable printer is the SiPix A6 Pocket Palm Printer. It has an ultra-thin and compact design. Very light and only weighs less than a pound. It can print at a speed of 2 pages per min in monochrome at 400 dpi resolution and it uses an A6 thermal paper.
