i80

High performance, compact design. 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 4800 x 1200 color dpi**. Canon advanced MicroFine Droplet Technology™ uses a revolutionary nozzle system that ejects consistent prescribed-volume droplets as small as 2 picoliters, with remarkable accuracy. The result? Impressive resolution and dramatic detail on graphics and photos, along with clean, crisp text. Wireless and camera-direct printing. 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. Amazing-looking borderless, digital photos. At home or on the road, the i80 printer enables you to produce 4 x 6, 5 x 7 and 8.5 x 11 in. 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" x 6" 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.

Best Portable Printer Around
Date: January 6, 2010
Pros: reliable, Compact Design, Easy Setup, durable, Lightweight/Portable, Sharp Tones & Colors, easy to use, excellent for photos
I've had this (i80) printer for a few years now and it as worked excellent every time. The ink continues to work even after it has set for months without use. The ink tanks are small but also inexpensive. And you don't go through them nearly as quick as you would think. In addition it prints excellent photos. The portability is great. I take it with me in my old laptop case with my netbook. Room for both. Only drawback is some of the accessories (LB-51 battery & cradle) are getting difficult to find. IMHO its still the best portable printer around. No real cons worth mentioning.

An excellent choice
Date: September 12, 2009
Pros: Compact Design, Lightweight/Portable, durable, Easy Setup, easy to use, fast print speed, reliable, Sharp Tones & Colors
Cons: small ink source
I have been using this printer on the road for several years, and have enjoyed its compact nature and dependability. We have used it as our main backup for the road trips when other shipped printers either did not show up or were late. Just wished the ink would not run out so quickly..

Poorly packaged
Date: July 14, 2009
Cons: Large Footprint, Heavy/Bulky, Flimsy Construction, Difficult Setup, Difficult to use, Slow Print Speed, High Ink Consumption, unreliable, Dull Tones & Colors, will not feed paper after 1 ream
The users manual for the Canon I80 should have been distributed in a compact PDF format. Instead, it takes over 100 files in htm format after decompression. This is the poorest packaging of a users manual that I have ever seen.

Portability/Reliability/Easibility
Date: April 23, 2009
Pros: Compact Design, Lightweight/Portable, durable, easy to use, reliable
Cons: bluetooth accessery
I most enjoyed the portability, a must for me and it is easy to move. I have it for the past 5yrs. When I had a college project to with my peers; it delivers excellent print for my color pamphlet and the necessary copies for the other critics. One of my best experiences is; my previous computer went blank, got a 2nd one about a yr later. The i80 past the test of reliability during that rest period of no usage, I never even took out the last ink cartridges when I last used it. The only thing I had to do was change the ink and load the driver. My 2nd laptop has the latest OS, the driver was on point, and it saved me a good piece of change. I give credit where credit is due, good looking out for your customers Canon!! One final note; I was extremely impressed that I was able to use the "IR" on the i80 from a quarts cell phone that purchased 2mths ago. The only con- it is not Bluetooth ready. Good Job overall.

One Shot one Print / Swift, Silent... Amazing
Date: March 26, 2009
Pros: Compact Design, Lightweight/Portable, durable, Easy Setup, easy to use, fast print speed, reliable, Sharp Tones & Colors
I´ve had this unit ever since it hit the market, as an enlisted (USMC) I had to run back and forth from the flight deck to the office every time an aircraft manifest had to be updated. So to make the long story short; Bought the unit ordered the BU-10 and Battery/Charger kit brought my wireless laptop and presto a one man office walking around the flight deck capable of editing/printing/handing/copying all major documents required to get the job and have the flight paperwork done and processed in 1/3 of what it used to take. Oorah!!!
P.S. Did I mention this was in 2003, still Kicking it in 2009!!!

I've been using this printer while traveling for 5 years now. It's always worked when needed and even though I've gone through many laptops, I've always been able to get the drivers easily. Only minor drawback is that the ink cartridges are small and run out frequently. Carry extras on any trip.
