TECH TIPS

Portable Printing

If you travel much, eventually you need to print while on the road.  There are lots of options. One is go to the hotel business center, where they likely will charge you $1.00 to $2.00 per page. Another is to find a local Kinko’s or office supply superstore - cheaper, but still a lot more than it costs to print at home or at the office.

Canon iP90v

But what if you want to print your boarding passes in the comfort of your hotel room? I suggest a lightweight Canon ip90v. When I really want to save space/weight, I can power it off my iGo universal power brick instead of taking its already small brick. My only complaint is that the printer cartridges are relatively small, so I carry a spare black and color cartridge.
