Canon iP100 Mobile Photo Printer (1446B002BA)

Best printer I've ever owned (2009-06-20)
Had always used Epson printers since that's what I was told were good in art school. My previous printer was an Epson R260, and that had to be the worst printer produced by Epson! If you check out the reviews for that product, you'll see all the numerous problems associated with it - unfortunately, I bought it before any reviews had been posted. I used it for only around a year and a half and then there was major malfunctioning, really frustrating when it starts giving you problems at the worst possible times (when you have to print out pages and pages worth of stuff for tomorrow).

Decided to finally try a Canon printer and boy I am so much happier. The Canon iP100 is a nice compact size and the print speed and quality is honestly much better than my old Epson. Although Epson printers aren't that great, Epson photo paper on the other hand is excellent and I highly recommend using the Ultra Premium Photo Paper - Luster with the Canon iP100 on top quality photo setting. The color blue usually tends to come out really "off" for the previous Epson model printers I've used, but with this printer the photos of the ocean that were shot in Hawaii came out absolutely beautiful - just the way it looks like in real life! I would recommend this product to anyone looking to purchase a compact sized photo quality printer.

Great little printer (2009-05-20)
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.

Great little printer! (2009-05-17)
I bought this printer for my husband who needs it for printing reports on the run. The prints are quick, crisp, and clear. The setup was easy and connecting it to our laptop was no problem. We're using a cord to connect both pieces so I can't comment on the wireless feature.

All in all a great machine for the price and it fits into such a small space, the laptop, printer and all the cables fit into one briefcase.

Terribly disappointed (2009-05-07)
I bought this printer a year ago and am bitterly disappointed with it. It prints the first copy of a document just fine, but if I need a second copy, or make changes to the document, the next time it prints the document, it comes out in gray scale, whether it's text or photos. This only happens on my MACs (system 10.5). It doesn't happen on the old PC (Windows XP), so I suspect there's a problem in the software but Canon won't do anything about it, either in the US or in Europe (where I bought it). I've always had Canon printers clear back to when they were making them under the Apple Logo. Never before have I had any kind of problem; in fact, my Canon 5200R shipped across the ocean to Europe and works just fine with my wireless system.

The Bluetooth and battery part of the Canon iP100 work just fine. I just wish the printer did. I frequently travel and need a portable printer. Until this issue gets resolved, I'm not spending any more money on one. Yuch!

IP 100 (2009-05-01)
It works well but I used the ip70, ip90 both worked well with Palm OS third party software. But not the ip100, so if you're having to upgrade on Palm OS software it will not work. When I call Canon the said nothings changed other than it was a little heavier. When I told them that the third party companies said it was a bit map printer they said OOOOOH! So that makes me think they don't know what's going on with their printers. Now I'm stuck with a printer I can't use. Ugh!
