Now I'll take Bbusy's advice and check out the Canon. Thanks for the great review…I was minutes away from ordering this thing until I saw your photo of the print quality.

Being inkjet based, you can get much better quality, and can use any paper you want, especially useful if you need to print stuff on company letterheads, etc.

And finally you are not completely dependent upon the company for everything. While you do ave to purchase the ink cartridge from Canon, it should still last for a good while longer then the Printstik.

Correction – The retractable USB cable is PlanOn branded and was included in the package.

Yes the paper is curled because it’s in a roll as most thermal paper come that way as far as I understand. :o )

  • The USB cable is not included, it is Julie’s
  • The papers coming out of the printer are probably curled, I don’t like that. They should design the printer to take paper straight through.
  • Only 30 pages per charge? Too little for too heft of a price

Overall, I think if you are a professional in need of printing on the road, and your print load is light, plus you don’t mind paying $300, then this printer is for you.
