Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Save on Printers
Do you go on vacation, take your laptop to scout out restaurants and entertainment, then need to print out directions - or a discount coupon? Do you travel for work, and need to print out client copies, maps, or data? Are you a professional musician who needs to print out - at the JOB, yet! - a vocal part in another key, or a transposed alto sax part, because the sax player didn't pack their tenor sax, or the singer has *issues* with the original key? I've been in all 3 situations, and added to all the other things I need to carry, this little printer looks like it is going to start saving my sanity. It's smaller than a 1 1/2 dozen egg carton- not as thick - and prints decent copies. Ink tank is small - but it's easy to carry spares (not much bigger than a Zippo lighter). The electric pack weighs more than this does! You need to swap out the ink for color, and it does not handle many sheets at once - but your not at HOME, remember? I have even used it for the "second computer" station in my house - it's fine. You can get a scanner attachment for it as well, but I do not need that - got the big guy at home. This printer takes NORMAL paper - beware some of the portable printers that only use special thermal paper. Got mine for less than $40, used - I've spent money on things far less useful. Got to judge a music competition in 2 weeks - instead of hand-writing all those comments, I can load in the adjudication sheet, even drag in the stock comments ("Be sure to always use you best breath support.", etc.), add my specifics, and hit print - saving time AND writer's cramp, right there in the studio! If you already carry a laptop, I bet YOU will find great uses for this little cutie, too! Just remember - everything weighs *something*, so get yourself a nice rolling bag for all your stuff!Read full review
The Canon BJC 85 Inkjet Printer is a good light-weight portable printer. The ink cartridges are inexpensive, easy to insert. The biggest downfall I have is with the smaller black and color ink which are used in the bjc-11e cartridge head just don't last very long. I use the larger black cartridge Bjc-10 and basically use the printer for strictly a black only document printer. I also have A BJC-70, 2-BJC-80 Canon printers that work with the older Windows programs From Xp back. Ihave been totally satisfied with this line of printers.
The fact that this is battery powered, very small and reasonably quick all met my criteria for a printer.This also can be used as a scanner. I purchased a new printer in the box and received extra ink cartages and containers to travel with open cartridges. This is a printer tha a c-oworker has been using for some years and had been impressed with the size and reliability, plus the fact that he had seemed to been able to print on anything from plastic to envelopes convinced me of its durability and flexibility, both fantastic attributes.
Having a business that keeps me out in the field, I needed to be able to print from my laptop. The Canon BJC85 Injet printer was recommended to me by a colleague who also had been using one for several months, and liked it very much. Not a lot of fancy bells and whistles to break. It is light weight and fits in a rolling briefcase right along side of my laptop. I'm not sure, but I think there might even be a battery pack available for it.
These printers are small, light weight and can be used on alternative power sources such as a battery pack(must know basic wiring). They have direct hook up printer port cables and not USB only ports which gives more versitility and less technical glitches. I use computers with combined serial, USB and printer ports. Having options available can be a life saver and the primary reason I do not buy new printers or computers as they have USB only ports. For my line of work this is too restrictive!
