One of the best printers for your buck is the HP Office Jet HP470 travel printer. As small travel printers go, this one is a beauty. Weighing just 4 1/2 pounds, this model prints from 3″ x 4″ to 8 1/2″ x 14″, printing up to 22 ppm in black and white or 18 ppm in color, this printer is also capable of printing photo quality at 4″ x 6″. Even though it retails for $304.00, some shops have it for as little as $165.00. This is a great printer for printing from PDA’s or digital cameras, as well as your PC with a USB port. It also holds up to 50 sheets of paper or 5 envelopes.

Another good small travel printer for your money is the Canon PIXMA iP100 Mobile Photo Printer. As the name implies, it’s great if your business is more about photo evidence, such as legal matters, construction, or law enforcement. With resolution up to 9600 x 2400 dpi, prints black and white documents at up to 20 ppm, and color at up to 14 ppm. This small travel printer is less than 3″ high, and retails for $250. Some shops have it for $199.

No matter what your choice is, it seems that a good small travel printer by itself will cost you about $200. Picking up a good USB 2.0 cord for your printer shouldn’t be a problem. A good 15′ cord can be found on Amazon for about $5.00. It never hurts to stock up on a few of these. Small travel printers are a great way to get the business done on the go and spend more time having fun on your business trip, and that’s the best feeling of them all.
