iP100

I got one of them and I love it. All in one tank color but the portability more than makes up for that. In the past I had two 4x6 printer's, an HP and then the Epson Picture Mate.The iP100 doesn't take up much more room than the Picture Mate but printing to 8.5x11 on the front seat of the Bronco more than makes up for it. I don't do photography for a living but if I did, say school sport's, dance school's, ect, I would take it with me every time. I take it to field trials all the time and I do sell photo's on site, photo's that if I let the person go home and think about it, they would forget it. I also have an enclosed trailer for a mobile dark room that has a spot for my 13" printer. Since getting the iP100, I never take the 13" any more.

If the photo is worthy of blowing up, the 4x6 or even 8x10 will remind them of it. I've had a number of people get 4x6's and then get a hold of me days later wanting enlargement's.

A big issue with the iP100 is the ink tanks, throw away a lot of ink when one color runs out. But I don't find that a problem. I can print enough 4x6's on one set of tanks to way more to cover the cost. I don't miss my 4x6 printer's at all.

I use to have the Canon IP90 printer, which was great, but after about 5 yrs of use it finally gave out. I then bought the Pixma IP100 and the Lid 210 canon high rez portable
color scanner. Now my wife would take her 17" Laptop and put all three in a Portable rolling case. Now she had a Portable rolling office wherever she went. Since then I bought the newer IP110 printer with Battery for my wife (it has WiFi ) built in so now she can operate her office without power anywhere..
