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A significant number of reviewers experienced frequent connection drops, difficult WiFi setup, and software that feels outdated or requires constant reconfiguration.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

Quality printing in a portable package
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product.Gregory Mynyk December 4, 2025Review source: AmazonAfter my previous portable Canon printer, the Pixma iP90, finally gave up the ghost after a decade and a half, I needed a replacement. The TR160 prints documents pretty fast for such a small unit, and at good quality. I haven’t tried photos yet, but I expect similar or better results than the iP90, and those were about as good as I could reasonably expect with a CMYK inkjet on photo paper. The fact that you can attach a battery to it and go fully portable is definitely a plus. It has built in networking — which is something I didn’t expect from a printer this compact — and can print wirelessly directly to the printer without connecting to a network. It’s a great option if you need to print on the go.

Hot garbage
Evie December 3, 2025Review source: AmazonThis printer is hot garbage. Not worth it. I would give it 0 stars if I could.

Love this canon printer.
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product.Sherrie Braun December 2, 2025Review source: AmazonHard to part with my old pixma 100 printer which lasted close to 20 years. But it finally died and this was the newer model. So far, so good and Canon is at least supporting printer upgrades on this one. Set was a little more time consuming than I anticipated but being able to print from phone is a plus. Love this printer series. Supposed to conserve on ink usage as well.

Awesome printer
Incentivized Incentivized review: The reviewer received a benefit for sharing feedback.Dani Corvans December 2, 2025Review source: AmazonI’ve had the opportunity to use this printer for a couple of months now and I love this printer. It doesn’t take up a lot of space which is great because the printer I had before was really clunky. It’s also quite portable which is a big plus – it’s super lightweight.
It prints as expected. The quality is much better than the printer I had before, so I am happy. It was easy to set up and is easy to use. It’s also easy to check ink levels which I appreciate because there’s nothing worse than unexpectedly running out of ink and having to make an emergency run to get some. I recommend this printer – it’s been a game changer for me!

Works well even if stored for a while. Wireless printing works flawlessly
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product.Steven N December 1, 2025Review source: AmazonPurchased for RV use and works perfectly. Cartridges seem to start up perfectly even after long storage. Had an original model for work years ago and cartridges dried out IF not used often enough. Wireless printing works flawlessly and is easy to use. Highly recommend this product.

Few Other Options
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product.Travel Tech Review November 30, 2025Review source: AmazonI don’t see many options for travel printers but this one feels solid, good build quality and weight to it. Pretty easy to set up in a few minutes. Functions well over Wi-Fi. Print quality and paper capacity are understandably limited out of this but you can’t expect much better out of this form factor. Prints pretty fast too.

Incredibly durable, highly capable, not junk
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product.crm November 28, 2025Review source: AmazonCanon continues to enhance this product. My previous printer was incredibly durable, but I decided the new features justified the upgrade. This is the only used printer I would consider purchasing. I expected a small, travel printer to be fragile. They are exceptionally durable and highly capable, not junk.
