Digital camera reviews of Canon PIXMA iP90v Photo Inkjet Printer (2238B002)
Digital camera Review: A necessity for those who work and travel
Summary: 5 Stars
Very please with my new printer. I also like the fact that it has a dual voltage so I can travel with it to Europe.
Digital camera Review: Awesome Printer!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
My first printer (Canon I70) lasted me six years. I started using generic printer cartridges and they jammed my printer so I had to purchase a new one... iP90v. I don't know why everyone doesn't have one of these printers for their laptop. It's small, prints great, and the canon ink cartridges last a good amount of time. I use this printer on a daily basis and I couldn't be happier with it's performance. Bottom line is this... This is one good printer.Digital camera Review: Awesome portable printer
Summary: 5 Stars
This little printer is a great printer if you need something portable but with the functionality of a full size printer. Print quality and speed are great. I used this printer to print paychecks for about 400 employees when I was on vacation, and it worked like a dream. No paper jams or any issues at all. It was set up and printing within 10 minutes of delivery. The ink cartridges are tiny so be sure to bring along extras if you are traveling. I was so impressed with this printer that I replaced my printer at home with a full siza Canon Pixma printer.Digital camera Review: BEST portable printer
Summary: 5 Stars
I travel 330 day out of the year and constantly writting reports and turning in expense reports...and my company requires paper copies on everything. I have had other printers over the past 15 years of traveling.. BUT... for reliability, compact size(fits inside same small bag as my laptop)and ease of use there is no other printer.
So..if you want or need the convience of a full size sheet printer in a compact and reliable size...BUY IT! YOU will be glad you did.
Digital camera Review: Best Travel Printer
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using the IP90 for several years. (I'll replace it with the IP90v if it ever dies but it doesn't show any sign of that so far.)
Pro: It's very small and light, even with the optional battery. It fits in the laptop bag or backpack next to the computer. Without the battery it's about the size and weight of a hard cover book.
I originally bought it for printing text on the road (boarding passes, email, web pages, maps & directions, etc.) and it does that very well: fast and high quality. It handles paper up to 8.5X11. I do a lot of digital photography and normally print at home on the HP desktop machines. I tried a few 4X6 snaps just for the heck of it and the quality was very good so I started experimenting with bigger prints on 8X11 photo paper. The quality was excellent, better than some of the bigger, more expensive HPs at home.
The cartridges don't have a "time limit" like the HP ones do. I've used cartridges that were over a year old with no problems. I shop around for the best price and buy a few at a time. They are tiny so you can carry a few spares with minimal space and weight.
Con: It is light and plastic. I have yet to get any damage, even with constantly tossing it in and out of the airline overheads, but I also always pack it in the middle of the laptop bag so that it's well protected. You probably could damage it if you beat on it too much.
It doesn't hold a heck of a lot of paper at one time so you won't be doing high volume printing, but it does hold a dozen sheets of regular paper or a half dozen sheets of heavy photo paper with no problem (probably more but that's what I usually load).
The prints aren't cheap. The cartridges are small and expensive and you don't get a heck of a lot of prints, especially if you are running high quality 8X10 color prints. I get about a dozen high quality 8X10s on a color cartridge, substantially more with 4X6 snaps (I dunno about black & white text only because I've never printed enough to put a dent in a cartridge but it will do dozens at least).
On Balance: this is not the printer for heavy home or business use. It's too fragile for that and the prints are too expensive. But for traveling, it's the best trade off for size, weight and print quality versus expense. If you need to print on the road, it's the way to go.
