The Bottom Line: It isn't cheap compared to standard printers, but the Canon Pixma iP100 has the highest resolution available in the mobile printer market and prints at an impressive speed to boot. If you simply must have a printer with you at all times, the iP100 should be the do-it-all at your side. Read review

The Bottom Line: Ever printed on an airplane? What about from a cell phone? The go-anywhere Canon iP90 offers worlds of possibilities--for a price. Read review

The Bottom Line: If you don't mind the shorter display life of dye-based prints or the paper choices offered by Canon, the Pixma Pro9000 makes an excellent choice for a medium-format inkjet printer. Read review

The Bottom Line: Epson's new dye-based 13-inch printer has style and prints large photos, but its black-and-white prints are less than perfect. Read review

Specs: Photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, Super B (13 in x 19 in), Wired, 15 ppm, 0.8 min/page, 2.9 min/page, 1.8 min/page, 5760 dpi x 1440 dpi, USB, Direct print USB, 24.2 in x 12.4 in x 8.8 in, 4 pin USB Type B, 4 pin USB Type A

The Bottom Line: HP markets the Officejet H470wbt to the mobile business professional, but it chose aesthetics over performance. The sleek design and cost-effective cartridges give its rating a slight boost, but the degradation of print quality from the previous model is definitely a deal breaker. Read review

The Bottom Line: As long as its limited paper options don't matter to you, the Canon i9900 is a very good medium-format photo printer. Read review

Specs: Photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, Ledger B Size (11 in x 17 in), Super B (13 in x 19 in), Wired, 1.6 ppm, 1.2 ppm, 4800 dpi x 2400 dpi, USB, IEEE1394 FireWire

  Overall score: 7.0 (3.5 stars)
• Average user rating: 2.5 stars out of 24 reviews

The Bottom Line: The Canon Pixma iP2600 is an excellent option for buyers looking to print their personal photos and text documents. We wish it had external ports for direct image uploading (although we're not surprised it doesn't), but you'll be more than satisfied with this printer's ability to deliver quality photos at a low price.

The Bottom Line: The Canon Selphy CP740 offers a decent feature package and quality prints for an inexpensive compact photo printer. Casual snapshooters will be satisfied with this, but users who need more features should look elsewhere. Read review

• Average user rating: 1.5 stars out of 4 reviews

The Bottom Line: Epson's Stylus Pro R1900 13-inch-wide photo printer is great for scrapbookers who want to print with pigment ink, or advanced photographers who want to print large, but can't justify the expense of a pro-level printer. Read review

The Bottom Line: The Canon Selphy CP770 is a neat, little dye-sublimation printer that includes a bucket for easy travel, but the wireless accessories aren't included. If you're shopping for a convenient travel-friendly printer, check out the Canon Selphy CP760 that offers the exact same technology with a similar style for a better price. Read review

The Bottom Line: Photographers will love the Canon Pixma iP6700D's speedy, high-quality photos, but sluggish, mediocre text output will be a turn-off for the SOHO/business crowd. Read review
