  Outstanding Mobile Printer

  by eottman on November 7, 2008

  Pros: Small footprint, fast print speed and a very nice photo printer

  Cons: A little on the expensive side, but I think the results are worth it

  Summary: Needed a dependable mobile printer that had blue tooth capability to connect to my MacBook Pro. After reading CNET's rating, I purchased the iP100 and I have no regrets. ...

  Summary: Needed a dependable mobile printer that had blue tooth capability to connect to my MacBook Pro. After reading CNET's rating, I purchased the iP100 and I have no regrets. The print quality and speed is outstanding and the compact size is a plus. I purchased a generic bluetooth USB adapter and my MacBook picked it up almost immediately so no cable from computer to printer is required. Its the perfect little portable printer companion for the laptop. Another plus is the beautiful photo's it produces. Just a great little printer that can tackle pretty big jobs.

  Great quality, very portable, but toner too expensive

  by sjkuser on June 30, 2009

  Pros: Remarkably fast. Print quality's excellent--even for photos (not pro photo quality, but v. nice). Lightweight,folds into a neat rectangle & adapter isn't cumbersome. Easy setup. New models have wi-fi (I haven't tried it yet). Really impressive.

  Cons: Machine's worth the high $, but toner is ABSURDLY expensive and runs out fast. Also, heavy graphics print quite wet and smear easily--machine automatically senses ink concentrations and pauses for drying time, but you still need to watch that.

  Summary: Despite the insultingly high price and low output of the toner cartridges, this is an excellent choice if you need to produce professional looking documents on the road. Easy to ...

  Summary: Despite the insultingly high price and low output of the toner cartridges, this is an excellent choice if you need to produce professional looking documents on the road. Easy to set up, easy to use. If ink weren't so expensive, I'd consider it as an auxilliary color printer for my office.

  Great option for documents, invoices, etc

  by miksurf on June 10, 2008

  Pros: Compact, blazing fast letter & envelope printing for my design studio.

  Cons: Older design software, like Macromedia Freehand MX (we still use!) may require converting files to EPS format first.

  Summary: I am a professional designer, photographer, and I purchased the Pixma 100 to back-up my Epson Stylus Pro 3800 printer which shouldn't be wasted on mundane needs: invoices, envelopes, ...

  Summary: I am a professional designer, photographer, and I purchased the Pixma 100 to back-up my Epson Stylus Pro 3800 printer which shouldn't be wasted on mundane needs: invoices, envelopes, small ad proofs, hard copy for book text etc. I didn't like what was offered as Laser printers, so I rolled the dice and bought this. Mainly because I like the size, and I have an affinity for Canon as a photographer. Bottom line: I love this little machine. It prints text blazing fast, and the color printing is also fast and fairly accurate in terms of reproducing my letterhead, etc. If your needs match mine, including the fact that I can take it along when traveling, then jump on it. I am using it with a new dual-intel MacBook Pro, OSX Leopard. I rate it at 9 because although it prints fairly accurate color proofs, there is some slight banding. Totally OK for quick cheap color samples, or snapshots. Anything that really requires perfection will be done on the Epson; that's its role. This fulfills its own role in the studio perfectly.

  Excellent best printer I've owned for the size

  by RIJAL4 on May 13, 2009

  Pros: Compact prints clean and fast and I paid only $149.00 at Best Buy not an open box Brand! Spankin! New! It goes well with Sony VAIO VGN-NR98E I bought backin October for $425 at the same store

  Cons: What Cons?

  Summary: You can't always get what you want but sometimes you get what you need.

  Not so portable printer.

  by quazy1328 on July 10, 2012

  Pros: None I can think of.

  Cons: Printer is sold as mobile printer but does not include a battery. The only place to get a battery is through BatteriesPlus or Canon and they both said that it would take a week.

  Summary: If you travel a lot and need a actual portable printer then I do not recommend this printer. It is useless unless you are always near a power source.

  Quick, Great Quality, Portable

  by opssmile on February 21, 2012

  Pros: This little printer has great print quality and gets the job done quickly. The quality of photos, flyers, brochures and text printing can be used for any need. For the on the go person this is a printer you should check out.

  Cons: At this point I do not have any. For those that say ink is expensive, ink is expensive for any printer you run. I have an HP printer that has individual cartridges and I spend just as much replacing ink.

  Summary: I bought this printer about a year and a half ago and I have used it continually on the go with no problems. I have a roller computer bag that ...

  Summary: I bought this printer about a year and a half ago and I have used it continually on the go with no problems. I have a roller computer bag that I use to transport the printer and my laptop and I always have a way to print. I use this printer to print out photos, flyers and I even make my own tickets for funraising events. All around it continues to get the job done with a professional look even after a thousand or more prints through it. I recommend this printer to anyone that needs a great little printer on the Go. As for no WIFI and all that I can not comment on, because I always just have a cord to plug into my computer.

  Another great portable inkjet printer from Canon

  by Mergatroid Mania on April 14, 2010

  Pros: Great printouts to accompany your laptop.

  Cons: Like all portable printers, a little on the pricey side.

  Summary: This printer works as well as any Canon printer, which is very well. Canon has been great at keeping the number of parts in the print mechanism down to reduce possible failures. High quality output with great portability.
  
  Just FYI, the CNET reviewer make an error. There is a wireless option for this printer. If you remove the left side cover there is a place to plug in a wireless adapter and reinstall the cover. From the looks of the chamber it would likely be the same wireless adapter that works with the previous Canon portable printers.

  Edit:
  After having serviced several of these printers I should mention the following:
  
  Some of these units have a bad habit of developing an ink leak that leaks on the USB ports and the main circuit board. With Canon's older portable printers they had this awesome ink system where there was an actual waste ink tank on the rear inside of the printer. These tanks NEVER leaked and worked quite well. On the iP100 Canon has changed this system. They are (for some reason) trying to make the iP100 like their larger desktop printers by having a stack of pads under the print mechanism. These pads are supposed to absorb the waste ink. However, I have seen leaks develop in various suction tubes and joints that are used to rout the waste ink from the purge unit to the waste ink absorbers. These leaks may be cleanable or they may damage the electronics. From the low amount we get for service is may not be a common fault.

  Bluetooth functionality is good without the price tag!

  by theskullhunter on February 24, 2009

  Pros: I thought i would share my results with you all. I have a Motorola PC850 bluetooth dongle running my ip100 which before now essentially had no purpose since upgrading to vista blew that out the window.

  Cons: Must have canons bluetooth set up with dongle and usb to initiate first registration for proper bluetooth communication. As I remember just pairing the printer by windows bluetooth caused a no connection error.

  Summary: Don't spend $50+ on a overpriced O.E.M. Bluetooth dongle from canon. I'm unsure of other models or adapters might work on this printer. As tested I'...

  Summary: Don't spend $50+ on a overpriced O.E.M. Bluetooth dongle from canon. I'm unsure of other models or adapters might work on this printer. As tested I've been able to pair my phone BB8130, 64 bit vista laptop and 32 bit desktop to the printer this way. The BU-30 (canon print server dongle)is wth pricey considering this 8$ one works just fine. BTW i found a pc850 vista workaround @ http://xan21.blogspot.com/2008/03/working-fix-for-pc850-on-vista.html just in case you want to use it elsewhere or not buy a vista ready one!
