Fine little printer - small, but able
The iP100 is named a "Mobile Photo Printer". About that I wouldn't know, as I did not purchase it for that purpose. I suppose that it could be used in that manner - you can even purchase what looks like a rather clunky add-on battery. However, to be honest, it seems too big to be mobile because it is not just a photo printer - it needs to be large enough to be able to handle letter sized paper. (For dedicated mobile photo printing, I use the old CP-100 which is designed only for photos and is small enough to be portable. It works directly with my Canon cameras, and it does a very good job, though I expect that the newer models are most probably even better. Of course,the iP100 has the advantage of being able to print letter sized photos.)
As a small auxiliary printer for a low-demand placement, the iP 100 is excellent. It is relatively fast - though not near the speed of a good HP Laserjet - and it prints beautifully - colors are accurate, print is clean and legible. It is also rather quiet, certainly a lot quieter than our office Laserjets. It is quite nice looking with its trays closed - the reception tray does have a tendency to drop the printed pages on the floor. Finally, it seems to be quite reliable. I am very pleased with it, but remember that I don't use it to print mobile photos - or any photos - we have a Pixma for the non-mobile photo printing. Given how it prints, web colors, I would estimate that it would do a good job with pics, but you should find someone with more experience than I to evaluate that aspect. As should be evident, we have a number of Canon products - I have not a bad word to say about any of them. Installation is easy-easy, customer support (the one time a Canon printer malfunctioned) is excellent - we had a replacement in two days. Other companies may be better, but we stick with Canon because their stuff is simple, easy to use, reliable and inexpensive. Sorry for all the digressions.
