Important Printer Buying Tip: ALWAYS check for the ink cartridge prices before you purchase a printer. Why? Sometimes cheaper printers end up costing more because its ink cartridges may be way expensive. You should calculate the "cost of ownership" per month. The math is simple: (number of prints per month) times (cost of the cartridge) divided by (the yield of the cartridge). Yield is the number of pages that can be printed with one particular cartridge. For example, assume that average home user prints 150 black pages per month using a black cartridge that yields 200 pages and costs $28. The monthly "cost of ownership" is (150 pages) x ($28) = $21 200 pages Also look at the printer ink alternatives; besides the original manufacturer's cartridges (OEMs), you may have the selection of remanufactured cartridges, compatible ink cartridges, and ink refill kits. |

Detailed Specs (Canon i80 Portable Printer):
Product Description for Canon i80 (From the Manufacturer, Canon)
Sophisticated yet incredibly easy to use, the Canon i80 Color Bubble Jet Printer delivers a remarkable combination of high performance and portability. It's capable of printing up to 14 ppm in black and up to 10 ppm in color, while achieving a resolution of up to 4,800 x 1,200 color dpi. The result? Impressive resolution and dramatic detail on graphics and photos, along with clean, crisp text.
Microfine Droplet Technology
In conventional print heads, the temperature and viscosity of the ink when it leaves the nozzle can produce slight fluctuations in the amount and direction of ink discharged. To overcome this fundamental problem, Canon attached a heater, which heats and vaporizes the ink inside the nozzle to form microbubbles, in an ideal position closer to the nozzle outlet. Under the pressure of these bubbles, ink is ejected out of the outlet in microfine droplets.
The nozzle is designed to limit the amount of ink to the space between the heater and the outlet so when bubbles form, all the ink under the heater is forced outwards, and not even temperature variations can affect the droplet size. Pressure only needs to be applied to the discharged ink, a task that is efficiently carried out by microbubbles. The result is accurate discharge to the printed surface with almost no air resistance.
The powerful, compact i80 printer features wireless operation, both with IrDA compatibility and an optional Bluetooth interface, which enables it to receive wireless transmissions from popular handheld devices. To ensure maximum portability, Canon developed several optional accessories, such as a car adapter and a rechargeable battery kit—providing power on the go.
Now with the purchase of these optional accessories, you can print a photo or document from a job site to your vehicle—or from your den to your home office. For added printing flexibility, you can connect any Bubble Jet Direct or PictBridge-compatible digital camera or DV camcorder directly to the i80 printer and print photos—no PC required! With the optional accessories you can shoot a picture on the go and print it immediately, which is ideal for both work and play.
At home or on the road, the i80 printer enables you to produce 4-by-6, 5-by-7 and 8.5-by-11-inch borderless prints, with stunning edge-to-edge quality, razor-sharp detail, and the look and feel of a traditional photograph. You'll speed through photos with the i80 printer—this mobile photo lab prints 4-by-6-inch photos in approximately 82 seconds. The included Easy-PhotoPrint 2.0/Easy-PhotoPrint Plus software makes it simple to print professional-looking digital photos through your computer, even enabling you to reduce red-eye problems and smooth out facial imperfections—all in just a few easy steps. Canon developed Easy-WebPrint (Windows only) software to help eliminate the hassles of web printing. Web pages are automatically formatted so they'll print properly with full color and without trimming off the right hand margin.
