Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional Portability: The printer is highly valued for its small footprint and lightweight design, allowing it to fit easily into gear bags, briefcases, and even under car seats for travel.
  • High Print Quality: Users consistently report that the device produces clear, sharp, and professional-looking documents and photos, often exceeding expectations for a portable inkjet unit.
  • Versatile Mobile Printing: The printer supports direct wireless printing from smartphones and tablets via the Canon app and AirPrint, enabling users to print on the go without a traditional network.

Cons

  • Unreliable Connectivity: A significant number of reviewers experienced frequent connection drops, difficult WiFi setup, and software that feels outdated or requires constant reconfiguration.
  • Expensive Battery Requirement: While marketed as portable, the battery pack necessary for cordless operation is sold separately, which many customers found to be a misleading and costly hidden expense.
  • High Ink Consumption: Several users noted that the printer 'eats' ink quickly and that the cartridges are quite small, leading to frequent replacements and higher long-term operating costs.

    This is a must-have have portable printer for every household and office! This is great for those that work in multiple settings for their job (remotely, office, community settings etc) or an amazing gift for anyone in college. I would have loved having this portable printer back then. This portable printer is truly portable. Some on the market say they are, but they are not. Please see photos of my wife’s hand for length and width of printer. It’s wild to actually be able to print on the go, and have that printer fit in your laptop bag. An excellent printer too, not some mediocre label printer that only prints labels. Everyone was blown away in the office with this portable Canon printer. I have been able to easily print from my devices and I do not even need to be hooked up to wifi to print. You will definitely want to download the app, it has functions for you to make your own pictures, documents, etc. This printer does have the capacity to operate without the charging cord, however that battery does NOT come with this printer, it’s sold separately. This printer has led display that shows ink levels. It prints out black and color! Yes, color too! I even checked the price of refills for the ink because c’mon this sounds too good too be true. So I was thinking the ink refills must be as much as the printer like some really are. Guess what? The ink cartilages for this printer are low, yes, even for the color ink cartilages. Get this portable printer immediately. I hope my review and photos are helpful to you.

  3. Excellent portable printer

    This is a great printer for business poeple and students. Its very portable, fast to print and so far, very reliable.

    I was able to find a 3rd party battery for the printer at a much lower price than the one advertised with this listing. The battery is entirely worth it and I kinda see this as an incomplete unit without the battery, at least for my use case.

    Great printer. Very easy to set up and use for the first time. Ink carts dont seem to be too expensive, but I haven’t had to replace anything yet.

    Fits under the passenger seat of your car perfectly. I’m a big fan f this printer and if you are a studnet, its def worth it in my eyes. If they still do physical submission, that is..

  5. Basic, but funtional and portable

    So this is definitely a more expensive option, but I think this printer has a lot of great stuff going for it. For one, it’s able to make some fairly good quality prints. It’s definitely not able to match a solid photo-quality inkjet printer, but it definitely beats the typical laser printer by a country mile. Also, I think the footprint size makes this a really compelling option for people, like myself, who have limited space in their home office. It doesn’t have a scanner, so they were able to cram some fairly useful features into quite the small package. As for the features, it has wireless printing (no cable necessary, although it does include one if you’d rather have a wired connection), a small OLED display, a silent print setting, an optional connectable battery (for printing on-the-go), an included power cable, and two ink cartridges. The ink cartridges are definitely on the smaller side, so I doubt they’ll be able to print out too many colored prints before running out, but there is a very healthy third party ecosystem here on Amazon, and the prices are very competitive.

    As for negatives, again the price is a bit of a barrier to entry, but I would argue that it doesn’t quite reach the levels of cost that other competing brands have when it comes to ink. Quality-wise, some of the colors on prints can be a little washed (especially blacks), and photos will be a bit grainy as well. Aside from that, there’s really nothing else to complain about. It’s very basic, but also functional and small, which are all good things. 5/5 stars

    I never considered a portable printer. In fact, most times when I was out and about I would end up having to Ron to an office supply store to print off some stuff if I needed last minute.

    With this printer I can just pack it away along with my gear and use it as needed. I do plan on getting the optional battery so that I don’t have to think about plugging it in. I didn’t get many paper jams. It’s not super heavy considering it’s a printer and it’s very easy to connect to my wireless devices.

    So far this Canon wireless printer is a great portable printer for us, it’s with excellent features that very impressed us. Its lightweight design makes it easy to carry around, from room to room. It’s also perfect for on-the-go printing too. The 50-sheet paper tray and clear 1.44 inch display add convenience. Setup and usage are straightforward, making it user-friendly for all levels. Print quality is impressive with sharp, vibrant results. Overall, it’s a reliable, portable printer that balances functionality and ease of use perfectly for us.

    Quality and print are amazing. Very easy to connect to your phone and tablet. Great if you want to take and print portable photos too. Does both photos and regular prints. Comes with black ink and color ink too. My only issue was, it came with zero instructions on how to install the ink. So I had to figure it out. But overall, I love it.

    This is a fantastic printer. It’s portable with the option to be battery operated. It’s very compact and you can take it pretty much anywhere or it can serve Printer. This is perfect for somebody who needs to print color but doesn’t have a lot of stuff to print the cartridges. Do not last very long, but they’re also not terribly expensive so if you need to occasionally print color prints, but enough that you don’t wanna have to go someplace and have them printed out this is a great option. It takes up very little space and you can bring it with you. I am very pleased with this printer, it has all the features the modern ones have like mobile printing and direct Wi-Fi, etc. but really it just gives great print quality and print pretty fast for such a tiny thing. It’s so much more budget friendly alternative than to have to buy a big Office printer when you don’t really use it that much my workhorse is black-and-white and this lets me do the occasional color. The only downside is if you don’t print often enough, you need to remember to clean them flush the printhead so they don’t dry out, but the heads are replaceable too.

    This is perfect for the small consumer needs without having to jump into the more expensive end of office equipment.
