Most anyone who buys a color printer for business that attaches to your laptop will wonder if they will print in photo quality or high resolution.
The straight answer is: You’d be genuinely surprised at how good a small travel printer can print!
Most travel printers that cost about $200 can print at amazingly high resolutions given the size of the printer. For instance, the Canon PIXMA iP100 Mobile Photo Printer is capable of print qualities up to 9600 x 2400 dpi, and uses over 1,800 nozzles to give the highest resolution possible.
One of the smallest photo printers I’ve seen is the SiPix pocket printer. This thing is a tiny little dynamo; it weighs less than a pound, prints 2 pages per minute and can operate with 4 AA batteries or an AC adapter. The media you can print on is limited (it’s monochrome color and can only print on A6 paper, taking about 30 seconds to print a page) but it has an infinite life as far as the printer head goes. You never need to buy cartridges or ribbons for this printer, and it can print up to 2880 x 720 dpi! Isn’t that convenient?
If you’re not into printing in monochrome, another great value for your money is the HP Officejet H470 Mobile Printer. This can print all the way up to 8 1/2″ by 14″ pages, printing at up to 22 ppm for black and white or 18 ppm for color, and it was named the fastest printer in the world under $500 as of July 2007. This model will also print at a resolution of up to 4800 dpi in color or 1200 x 1200 dpi in black and white. This printer is great for printing 4″ x 6″ photos and all your business documents in one setting.
In conclusion, just because there are a line of small travel printers around doesn’t mean they aren’t powerful. Technology is evolving all the time and with that technology, the printers you buy will be more economical, use less ink, and provide higher quality for your money, and it will be perfect for your business ventures.
