Competition in the field of printer technology has become stiff in recent times. Companies are constantly pitting against each other on who could come up with products that satisfy the needs of its consumers. Take for example, the travel printer. In the past, printers were very bulky, heavy, and feature-deficient. In recent years, however, we have seen how this peripheral has evolved.
In Amazon.com’s list of the most popular travel printers, HP’s Officejet H470 Mobile Printer occupies the top spot. For something that weighs only a mere 5 lbs, this hardware surely has much to offer. A feature that distinguishes this model from others is its Wi-Fi connectivity. Coupled with the Bluetooth and USB function, the said components enable the Officejet H470 to provide its user with superior connectivity to various gadgets - from mobile phones to digital cameras, PDAs to laptops. The long life battery and auto power adapter is ideal in urgent situations where print outs need to be produced regardless of the location or time. The printer speed is rapid enough and the prints produced are first-rate.
Another leading travel printer manufacturer is Canon. Two of its products, the Canon PIXMA iP90 Photo Inkjet Printer and the Canon PIXMA iP100 Mobile Photo Printer are plastered on the second and third positions on Amazon’s registry. These printers present its users with a multitude of features. They have the usual USB function as well as Bluetooth and infrared for wireless printing. Consumers are also given the option of getting add-ons, such as the battery and the car adapter, to boost mobility. With its high resolution printing capabilities, Canon users are assured of quality prints every time. At present, the iP100 holds the highest resolution amongst its contemporaries.
The components of each travel printer have been discussed but how about the price? The HP Officejet H470 Mobile printer is the more affordable and practical choice. The Canon PIXMA iP90 Photo Inkjet Printer and the Canon PIXMA iP100 Mobile Photo Printer including the add-ons are too costly, especially for something that does not really have all the essentials of a mobile printer.
