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A significant number of reviewers experienced frequent connection drops, difficult WiFi setup, and software that feels outdated or requires constant reconfiguration.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.

    The feature that I like the best about this particular portable printer is the fact you can buy a battery pack for it and use it remotely without having it plugged into the wall. The battery can be charged by plugging the unit into the wall directly but it can be operated without a power cord as long as you have the battery. Colors work pretty good black cartridge works really good and they’re cheap enough to buy and you can replace them pretty quickly and easily. Print quality is nice doesn’t excellent job and doesn’t use a tremendous amount of Ink on each print job but still looks good. There are carrying cases that allow you to carry it around and they don’t take up a lot of space. It’s easy to store needs to carry although it is a bit weighty but not as heavy as a large size printer would be. Wireless connectivity is easy to set up both on the front panel and with software. When I set mine up I use the front panel to set up the wireless and it connected pretty quickly to my mobile router. All in all this is the printer I would recommend if you need something portable and small enough to be able to carry around with you on an everyday use. I could see this being used by business people as well as people living in RVs like I do as easy to travel with and can easily be used to print out stuff on the go or were spaces at a premium.

  3. Setup not a breeze

    Took an hour and a half to set it up. The instructions are all in pictures, no words! That’s not my favorite language.

    Print quality seems to be very good.

    And it’s definitely a plus that the replacement cartridges are not expensive.

  4. Very good. Excellent Value. Easy to set up and to use.

    This portable printer is awesome. I’m doing a lot of traveling (by car), and this makes it easy to print from almost anywhere. The initial setup was not complicated and worked on the first try. It is quick and easy to take it out of the travel case and set it up for printing. It is wireless and/or wired. The print quality is great. The print cartridges are lasting a long time. I was a bit concerned about that, but it’s good. The user interface is simple and works really well. This give a ton of value for the price.

  5. Not really efficient.

    I guess works for “traveling” but I this is big to put inside the suitcase. The ink, we bought it last week, we haven’t printed more than 10 pages and it is already 70% the black one and the Color is 65% so is absolutely NOT efficient. I would not recommend.

    Except if you are a sporadic printer user.

    This printer came very tightly packed and is the perfect size for travel. It synced to my laptop perfectly. I ordered the separate battery pack, but haven’t received to check out the non-electrical option. I really like that it has a paper tray. Highly recommend.
