Top Mobile Printers
Everything in the technology world has gone mobile. If it is technology related it needs to be able to travel with you at a moments notice. Although engineers are still working on the creature comforts, mobile printers are beginning to be the new tech item to carry with you on the road. But, don’t fool yourself. Printing on the go is far off if you are thinking about whipping out a cheap quality printer and printing out high quality text or images. There is still a long way to go before that happens.
Relatively soon
At the moment mobile printers are still in the crawling stage. They are available but they are not cheap, fast or light. Looking at the hp deskjet mobile printer line the lowest current price available is around $225.00 with the majority in the hp line being in the $300.00 range. Most mobile printers are not all that light either. Sure some are comparatively light but most are in the four pound range not including batteries, cords and accessories like paper. Also, forget about speed for these on-the-road units. You had better have your invoices printed before hand unless you want to look like an idiot.
Define mobile
Most people have gotten a bit complacent when they start to define what mobile actually means. Today, people expect mobile to mean taking technology for a five mile run without noticing it being there. When it comes to mobile printers perhaps stepping back a few years may be in order. Bluetooth mobile printer technology has come a long way in recent years but it still keeps us within range of the base. So, mobile in this instance means being able to print downstairs when the base is upstairs.
This wireless mobile printer technology is fine with a base nearby but it still doesn’t do anything about weight. So, the question rises; what is mobile when it comes to mobile printers and which criteria can you live with and do without.
Which mobile printers to think about
Given the range of options and individual needs and requirements it would be difficult to say which mobile printers are best but a few to think about might include; the hp 460cb with 450 page lithium battery, 4.8lbs, $0.16 per/pg at 45 seconds per page. The Selphy CP720 card and label printer at 2lbs with varying card cost. The Pocket Jet 3 with Bluetooth.$0.07 per page 6 pack roll at 3 pages per/min., 1.1 lbs $600.00.
