Canon PIXMA iP100 Mobile Photo Printer
Review by Dr. Jeffrey Schnitzer : Fine little printer - small, but able

The iP100 is named a "Mobile Photo Printer". About that I wouldn't know, as I did not purchase it for that purpose. I suppose that it could be used in that manner - you can even purchase what looks like a rather clunky add-on battery. However, to be honest, it seems too big to be mobile because it is not just a photo printer - it needs to be large enough to be able to handle letter sized paper. (For dedicated mobile photo printing, I use the old CP-100 which is designed only for photos and is small enough to be portable. It works directly with my Canon cameras, and it does a very good job, though I expect that the newer models are most probably even better. Of course,the iP100 has the advantage of being able to print letter sized photos.)
As a small auxiliary printer for a low-demand placement, the iP 100 is excellent. It is relatively fast - though not near the speed of a good HP Laserjet - and it prints beautifully - colors are accurate, print is clean and legible. It is also rather quiet, certainly a lot quieter than our office Laserjets. It is quite nice looking with its trays closed - the reception tray does have a tendency to drop the printed pages on the floor. Finally, it seems to be quite reliable. I am very pleased with it, but remember that I don't use it to print mobile photos - or any photos - we have a Pixma for the non-mobile photo printing. Given how it prints, web colors, I would estimate that it would do a good job with pics, but you should find someone with more experience than I to evaluate that aspect. As should be evident, we have a number of Canon products - I have not a bad word to say about any of them. Installation is easy-easy, customer support (the one time a Canon printer malfunctioned) is excellent - we had a replacement in two days. Other companies may be better, but we stick with Canon because their stuff is simple, easy to use, reliable and inexpensive. Sorry for all the digressions.

Review by Starlike : The best one yet!

I love the Canon brand I have never used anything else. I previously owned the i950 photo color printer. After many years of great use it finally gave out on me. Didn't want to invest in repairs and was ready for an upgrade. I really love the iP100 a lot. Wonderful vivid color photo prints and the text is crisp and clear. One of the best things about this printer is the cost of the ink which is relatively cheap compared to other brands. This printer only requires 2 ink tanks verse my older printer that needed 5 at the cost of $14.00 a piece. The printer is very small and lightweight doesn't need a lot of space. And all the features are really nice. And if you don't have a printer cable don't forget to purchase one because it's not included. My old cable worked fine.The only thing that I have a complaint about is that the printer does not turn on automatically when you click your printer icon to your documents to print. But if you don't mind reaching a little to turn it on then this is the printer for you!

Review by John R. Huerkamp "Jack Huerkamp" : Canon iP100 Mobile Photo Printer

I purchased the Canon iP100 so I could have a small, compact printer in my travel trailer. This one fills the bill perfectly. Setup was easy and it worked right out of the box. Print speed and quality is excellent. The only flaw is that it occassionally feeds multiple sheets of paper at one time. Fanning the paper before placing it in the feel tray helps rectify this.

Review by telephone : Great printer: incredibly fast, accurate color, great text

This is a fantastic little printer. It is very small and light, and I can easily carry it around in my backpack (which is really helpful.) 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. Text is accurate and bold, and images show no banding and are very sharp (not full page U.S. letter ones though.) When printing images on glossy paper, they look amazing, and it is done very fast. About 1 minute for a 3x5 and about 4 minutes for a 8x10. An overall great printer. It will cost you a little bit though. I think its worth it, because I need the portability.

Review by Jon C. Dake "Jon" : Great little printer

I purchased this as a travel printer as I go out of town a lot and sometimes need to create documents while sitting out in the hall in the courthouse. This printer fits in my case with my laptop and produces sharp, crisp copies at a very quick printing rate. For me this thing has paid for itself already. I don't know how I ever got along without it. If you need a small, truly portable and battery operated printer this is certainly the one to buy.

Review by C. Isaac : Canon IP100 better than its IP90 predecessor

I find this upgrade from the IP90 to be sturdier, with better printing quality. Though a little bit bigger, it still travels well. The printer cartridges are still pricey, but I don't use the machine enough for that to be too burdensome.
