Travel Printer Review

Are you the one who is constantly traveling and on business? Then you might want to read this review on Canon Pixma iP90v travel printer. The Canon Pixma iP90v which is enhanced with the Vista and has almost the same speed and quality that of the older version is the printer for all those who travels a lot!!

The Canon Pixma iP90v travel printer has similar ink cartridges to that of its older model. It even offers two options when it comes to normal printing. When you think you are about to be done with the black ink, you can switch to the Save Black mode and the next text is printed in dark gray and not black.

Another interesting feature is when you are done with the black ink by using the Composite Black mode, all the colors in the color tank is mixed and the resultant text is printed in multi-colored. This text may be little informal but definitely a plus point at odd times.

The Canon Pixma iP90v is more so a very similar product to the Pixma iP90 so much so that the costs also remains $250. Although if you have an iP90, do not even think about upgrading it.

A little expensive but when it serves your purpose, why not? But without the additions like the battery packs the printer can be very affordable. And to top it all, for just a single-task printer, 200 odd dollars are way more than you want to pay!!

However if you don’t have a travel printer, you might think of buying this, but beware of the price, which seems to increase all the more with the accessories that are to be purchased separately. But one thing is for sure, this travel printer is a tough competitor to the HP Deskjet 460 series especially taking the speed and the printing quality.

Another drawback of this travel printer is the speed of the photo print which is slower than the older model. The scores somewhat like this, the black text are printed at the rate of 6.23 pages per minute whereas when the color graphics printing is concerned, it takes about 1.42 pages per minute. However the printing quality of the graphics is impressive and must say is better than its older version.

The text quality has definitely improved and the compact design makes it an ideal travel printer. Moreover, this travel printer is enhanced with ink-saving modes and PictBridge and IrDA. So this technology helps when you need to print something from a Bluetooth enabled device such as laptop or mobile phones with the add-on bluetooth adapter provided by Canon. So are you in for this travel printer. We would say it is buy only if you have the money for it.
