In today's fast moving world, when every second counts, we all want to make the most of our precious time. This is when we understand the utility of a mini printer.
The mini printer brought on the same kind of revolution that was once brought about by laptops and cell phones with internet facility. We can now access all our documents from any corner of the world and if we carry a small, portable travel printer with us, the work becomes so much simpler. We can print our documents even when we are stuck in traffic or we are attending a family function in a remote area.
The mini printer is usually a compact portable printer that runs on batteries. This makes it possible to be used anytime anywhere. These printers are so small that you can easily fit them in your laptop bag, compact briefcase or even in a ladies' travel bag. With the advancement of technology, these mini portable printers are also available with wireless mode along with Bluetooth facility.
However, there is one little drawback of these mini printers. These printers being extremely small and handy usually do not have a multifunction mode. The mini printer is generally bought for a specific use. As such there are separate printers available for printing photographs, texts and even labels.
Mini printers are usually recommended for those workaholics who prefer carrying the entire office in their notebook bag. The purpose of a mini printer is to shrink the inkjet printing to a suitable travel size for the convenience of the customer. These mini printers do not weigh more than 5 pounds and some of them even weigh as little as 2 pounds. There are some portable printers that give the option of batteries as well as car chargers so that the print can easily be taken even on the go.
There are manufacturers like Kodak who have added the facility of printing from the camera itself. Photographs can now be printed directly from the camera without the involvement of a computer.
On similar lines, there are certain manufacturers who have added the wireless printing facility directly to cell phones. This makes these mini printers simply ideal for business travelers and serves their modest business needs perfectly.
Some mini printers are inkjet ones that are to be used exclusively for printing text documents. Then there are label mini printers for printing label and bar codes. It is amazing to know that this kind of printers are as small as 2 inches. Interestingly, these mini printers are quite affordable and cost much less than regular printers. This makes them quite a favorite even for household use.
