The feature that I like the best about this particular portable printer is the fact you can buy a battery pack for it and use it remotely without having it plugged into the wall. The battery can be charged by plugging the unit into the wall directly but it can be operated without a power cord as long as you have the battery. Colors work pretty good black cartridge works really good and they're cheap enough to buy and you can replace them pretty quickly and easily. Print quality is nice doesn't excellent job and doesn't use a tremendous amount of Ink on each print job but still looks good. There are carrying cases that allow you to carry it around and they don't take up a lot of space. It's easy to store needs to carry although it is a bit weighty but not as heavy as a large size printer would be. Wireless connectivity is easy to set up both on the front panel and with software. When I set mine up I use the front panel to set up the wireless and it connected pretty quickly to my mobile router. All in all this is the printer I would recommend if you need something portable and small enough to be able to carry around with you on an everyday use. I could see this being used by business people as well as people living in RVs like I do as easy to travel with and can easily be used to print out stuff on the go or were spaces at a premium.

This portable printer is awesome. I'm doing a lot of traveling (by car), and this makes it easy to print from almost anywhere. The initial setup was not complicated and worked on the first try. It is quick and easy to take it out of the travel case and set it up for printing. It is wireless and/or wired. The print quality is great. The print cartridges are lasting a long time. I was a bit concerned about that, but it's good. The user interface is simple and works really well. This give a ton of value for the price. Read more

After my previous portable Canon printer, the Pixma iP90, finally gave up the ghost after a decade and a half, I needed a replacement. The TR160 prints documents pretty fast for such a small unit, and at good quality. I haven't tried photos yet, but I expect similar or better results than the iP90, and those were about as good as I could reasonably expect with a CMYK inkjet on photo paper. The fact that you can attach a battery to it and go fully portable is definitely a plus. It has built in networking -- which is something I didn't expect from a printer this compact -- and can print wirelessly directly to the printer without connecting to a network. It's a great option if you need to print on the go. Read more

Print quality is great! Value is very good! Functionality is great I can also print pictures. The color quality is great. I love how portable it is. Very easy to use! Read more

Great little printer for occasional users. The small size lets us hide it away. Ours is our only printer and it works great for our low-demand needs. Ink usage seems reasonable but more importantly, the ink cartridge/jets do not dry up when unused for a long time. We can return to our home after being away for months and the printer just starts working fine. The WiFi connection is also very reliable (with our Eero Pro/Pro6 access points). Even after being off for a long time, it never loses connection. Setting up Macs (using Bonjour) was a breeze and the software has been very reliable. The only downside is the rear holder isn't tall enough and paper will start to curl if left for a long time. I recognize this is not a permanent installation printer so this is more us than Canon, so it still gets 5-stars. Read more

Great printer for traveling. We recently had to be away from home for two months. While most of us don’t need printers every day, over two months you do. This little gem weighs less than my laptop.. Great quality, even for photos. Not very fast but when traveling, who’s in a rush? Read more

This is an absolutely fantastic printer. Very easy to set up. I experienced no problems whatsoever and was up and printing less than 15 minutes after unboxing the printer. Years ago I did QA for an international hotel franchisor and our department provided us the Canon portable printers which were great for use on the road. So when it came time to replace my Epson at home that was a constant hassle, I searched for portable printers. This Canon is a much newer version of the ones I used all those years ago on the road and it is just as easy to use and provides great print quality. Setup essentially consisted of inserting the ink cartridges, scanning a QR code and following the steps. I highly recommend this great printer. I've had no issues with connectivity, setup, or printing. While the printer was more than I wanted to spend, the value for money is definitely there and I consider it well worth what I paid.

I was looking for a well priced, good working, smaller printer that I can take out to the field with me. My previous job provided an HP office jet 250, which I was really impressed with, so I wanted to compare something similar. This printer is basic and is just that, and really all I needed. Could I use the fancy features like the HP 250? Sure, but not for the extra price. Positives: size, printer speed, print quality, easy installation, and has capability for portable battery. Negatives: takes a little long to load turning on and acknowledging from Mac, ink packs are TINY, power and USB ports are on the right side and not the rear. Overall, it's well priced and does what I need it to. I'm happy with it. Read more

I own a massive amount of high end electronic gear of all kinds and this little gem is amongst the coolest. It's so small, sitting on my desk hidden out of view. It's black, which I love being the wright and beige stick out like a sore thumb. It's portable so you know it' got to be at least somewhat robust. I got the optional lithium battery so technically I could place it anywhere in the house without a wall plug and it'll be good to go. The 5GHz Wi-Fi is solid as a rock with modern 2025 connection. Setup took 10 minutes max. The print speed is fine, just fine. The print quality is also just fine, honestly. Just like any printer. Got a carrying case for it too, which will make it easy to protect if I ever want to take it outside, which could happen actually, now that I have the option. Big fan of this Canon. Surprised how impressed I am with it. Also an easy price. Read more
