Canon has released its newest mobile printer, the Pixma iP100, capable of 9,600 x 2,400 dpi resolution. The lightweight iP100 fits easily onto a desk with limited space or into a carry-on bag.

The printer features two black inks: one a pigment-based black ink that delivers sharp, laser-like text and another that prints rich photos. The overall size of the pigment black-ink tank has been increased by 50 percent. Canon has also added Auto Image Fix technology, which analyzes and categorizes the scenes in photographs and optimizes print output.

This iP100 maintains print speeds of up to 20 pages per minute for black and up to 14 for color. A PictBridge port allows the user to print images from a compatible digital camera or DV camcorder without a computer. It also features Bluetooth and USB 2.0 connections.

The Pixma iP100 mobile printer has an estimated selling price of $249.
