Have you ever found yourself needing to print an invoice or document while on the road? I have. This led me to search for the ultimate portable printer. What I found was the Canon Pixma iP90 photo printer. Is it the ultimate portable printer for the road warrior? I think not. Can the Pixma iP90 deliver sharp crisp color documents and photos from the front seat of your car? Yep.

This compact printer can produce up to 16 ppm in black and up to 12 ppm in color, while achieving a resolution of up to 4800 x 1200 color dpi. That’s impressive performance for a compact, portable printer. As with all high performance objects there comes a price. The Pixma iP90 is not cheap. In a world of $50 color inkjet printers, the Pixma iP90 comes in at a street price of $249.99. That price won’t free you from the power cord either. If you want the ultimate portable you’ll need the battery pack. The optional battery pack will set you back another $99.99. How about adding the car power kit? Add another $89.99. Want to add a cradle kit? Add another $139.99.

Add up all those accessories and for the low price of $579.96 you can have a fully outfitted compact, portable printer. That’s quite a sum for portable printing but considering the features it’s still a value for the road warrior who demands high quality mobile printing capabilities. You can surely find better pricing on the Pixma iP90 if you shop around. What I found impressive about this printer are the dimensions. 12.2″ W x 6.9″ D x 2.0″ H Wow, a printer that’s only 2″ tall.

Bottom line, if you’re looking for a compact, portable, color photo printer with great output resolution, the Pixma iP90 may be worth a look. For more information and full specs on the Canon Pixma iP90 visit the Canon product website.
