The more people who carry laptops and netbooks, the greater the need is for portable printers. The industry for this is starting to grow and Canon has some of the best travel printers on the market. At the front of the line is the PIXMA IP100. This device has many features that other travel printers do not have. It can print 14 pages per minute in color and 20 per minute in black and white. Cameras can be connected directly to the printer to print out color photos and to other devices. The IP100 has a USB port and has wireless and Bluetooth features.

Another option is the Canon PIXMA 320. Most travel size printers have a price of around $250.00. This one comes in $100.00 less at $150.00. This machine is also capable of direct camera connection and has infrared that allows for printing from a cell phone. Borderless photos and 5×7 documents are not a problem for this machine.

Last and certainly not least is the Canon BJC-85 Portable Color Bubble Jet Printer. This model is very compact and can easily fit in most computer bags or cases. Even with its small size, it has an input tray that holds 30 sheets. This printer only has a shipping weight of 6 pounds and that makes it an easy one to carry. As with the other models, the BJC-85 has a USB port and IrDA technology for wireless printing.

Choosing a portable printer should be based on needs and budget. Canon has a wide variety of portable printers to suit almost every situation. For years, this company has been a leader in the printer industry and is showing that it is no different when it comes to portable printers. With many models to choose from and a good choice in price range, Canon clearly has the best products to offer.
