Bladdaow!

So you’ve already decided to get a Canon printer. The problem is you are not sure whether you want a desktop printer or a mobile printer. The good thing about having options is that you get to choose the one that fits your needs or sometimes your profile. In order to help you make the decision, ask yourself “what kind of person am I?” or “what kind of printing needs will I have?” Do you always find the need to print documents while you’re traveling? Do you need to print large documents more often? Do you also need a scanner? Do you need a photocopier? Answering these questions can actually help you decide since a desktop and a mobile printer have different advantages.

Canon Desktop Printers, which offer the same speed and picture quality as the Canon Mobile Printers, are usually cheaper when compared to their mobile counterparts. Additionally, they also provide greater paper handling since they also have trays, which are able to hold a large amount of paper. Some even have duplex printing capabilities. Mobile printers remove these features in order to make up for its portability, leaving only the most important feature of a printer. That is the ability to print. Canon does a very good job of having a portable printer without sacrificing print quality.

There are desktop printers today that are multifunctional. Aside from your standard printing and paper handling, it has additional features such as scanning and photocopying. Some even have the PictBridge feature, which allows you to print pictures and documents directly from your memory cards. Some also have features such as network connectivity. These models however are designed for office use.

Canon Mobile printers offer only one advantage over the desktop printer and that is portability or mobility. This doesn’t mean that it is less valuable than the desktop printer is but merely that it is another type of printer with another purpose.

With mobile printers, you can go and print anywhere. This offers far more value to a traveling businessman than a desktop printer. With a mobile printer, you are able to print your reports even when you are traveling. There is no need to look for a printing shop when you’re on the road.

With a mobile printer, especially if it produces photo quality output, it allows you to share pictures even when you’re on the road. There is no need to wait until you get home before making your personalized postcards. Just plug in your PictBridge-enabled camera and you can share hard copies of your photos even without a computer.

If you’re the entrepreneur type of person, you can even make money with your mobile printer. You could go to famous tourist spots and offer to take pictures for a price. Of course, this would require for you to have your own camera. Again, the only limit is your imagination, especially when you’re free to play around with your cheap printer scanner copiers.
