"Great quality in a small package but pricey"

by gregj777 on March 20, 2005

Pros: Quality of photo and documents; very portable, good battery life

Cons: Most useful features are options (battery, bluetooth)
Summary: If the ip90 came standard with the bluetooth and battery it would be a dream. Once you've purchased these items it IS a dream, although it is an expensive one. The printer is $250, add the battery kit for $100 and the bluetooth for $70 and well, you add it up. I bought it because I like gadgets and I figured I could tote it with me to print photos on the weekend, when I have most of my free time. I read on here about some print quality issues- DO NOT REPEAT DO NOT BELIEVE THEM! You just have to make sure your settings are on the highest quality. I have an HP Photosmart 7550 which is a behemoth compared to this printer, and the photo quality- even at 8x10- rivals that of the excellent HP 7550. I had because of this considered the HP's compact competitor to the ip90 but the Canon is slightly smaller and that's what I was after. Plus as another reviewer said it matches my 17" Powerbook LOL! Which is another thing, the bluetooth feature is great and worked right away. My mac recognized it and I was printing in a few minutes. It's great to not have to have yet ANOTHER cable to carry around with you. One thing to beware of though is the casing. It is very prone to scratches. I carried it out of town this weekend and somehow managed to get two small scratches on the outer case and one small gash (yes, a GASH) about 1/10 of an inch on the side casing. No idea what it hit, and they're not that noticeable, but this baby gets it's own carrying case from now on. Overall, an excellent road warrior. And if you're concerned about life expectancy get the extended warranty (mine was $29 for 3 years- or was it 4?- at Best Buy) and you're worry-free. One last thing- it's FAST.
