Print speed: 8ppm | Paper sizes: up to A4 | Paper capacity: 1 | Weight: 0.5kg View at Tiger DirectDetailed prints No ink neededRequires
thermal paper ExpensiveBy using inkless thermal print technology, which relies on fewer moving parts, Brother has reduced this portable
printer to the size of a small baguette
What’s more, the only consumable you need is the special thermal paper itself, making this pocket-sized device perfect for taking on the
road, or carrying onto a plane
It comes with both power adapter and battery pack, so you can use it anywhere and while Wi-Fi is built in, you don’t need to rely on
finding a network to connect with your device because it also offers Wi-Fi Direct and a mini USB port
It prints, quickly enough with the black and white pages emerging as sharp and detailed as any laser printer. (Image credit: Jim Hill)2

| Paper capacity: 1 | Weight: 1.6kgCharges over USB Hi-res print quality Costly cartridges No auto duplexEpson has managed to
distill all of the elements of a colour inkjet printer into something small enough to fit in a briefcase and possibly even a handbag
It uses four smaller-than-usual ink cartridges to produce up to A4-size prints at a very crisp and colourful 5,760 x 1,440 dpi resolution
The plastic casing is textured for grip and when unfolded, it becomes the paper input tray which can hold up to twenty sheets of plain paper
The lithium-ion battery can be fast changed with the bundled charger, or by connecting the supplied USB cable to any powered USB port
It doesn’t print quickly and unsurprisingly there’s no auto duplex mode, but for mobile printing, this is excellent quality.Read the

There’s no auto duplex mode, but in other respects, this miniature printer is uncompromising
It uses five ink cartridges to achieve superior colour fidelity when printing photos, for instance and at nine pages per minute, it’s not
too slow at printing black and white pages either. (Image credit: HP)4
HP OfficeJet 200 Mobile PrinterMiniature inkjet goes portable in style Category: portable colour inkjet printer | Print speed: 10ppm | Paper
sizes: up to A4 | Paper capacity: 50 | Weight: 2.1kgFits in a briefcase Battery poweredNo auto duplex Expensive inkHP has managed to
shrink the inkjet printer to the size of a cigar box while adding a battery compartment

HP Tango X printerWireless printing for the mobile generationCategory: Portable 3-in-1 colour inkjet printer | Print speed: 11ppm | Paper
sizes: up to A4 | Paper capacity: 100 | Weight: 6.5kgAlexa enabled Seamless cloud services No USB port Expensive ink This small
and stylish inkjet requires a power point as there’s no battery option, but in all other respects, it’s the perfect portable printer
Weighing just 6.5kg, it fits easily in a bag and the ‘X’ edition seen here includes a fabric cover to protect it in transit
It also acts as a mat to catch your printed paper
There’s no inbuilt scanner but the excellent companion app can harness your smartphone’s camera to grab, straighten and copy documents
It’ll print on envelopes or photo paper of any size up to A4 and turn out pages at reasonable rate of 11ppm
HP has dispensed with the USB port altogether because its wireless skills include everything from Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, to AirPrint and
Google Cloud Print making it perhaps the most flexible device for cloud printing that we have come across. (Image credit: Fujifilm)6
Fujifilm Instax Share SP-3A fun, but expensive way to print momentosCategory: portable instant film printer | Print speed: 4ppm | Paper
sizes: 72x86mm | Paper capacity: 1 | Weight: 312gsmall and stylish Easy/fun to useExpensive photo paperLimited applications This (almost)
pocket-sized printer is probably the easiest way to turn photos on your smartphone, or your Instax camera, into physical prints
Using an evolution of the technology used in Kodak’s instant cameras, Fijifilm’s inkless system sears the image onto square format photo
Neither the printer, nor the paper are cheap and the printer itself has few features other than Wi-Fi
Nonetheless, the photos it produces are colourful and accurate, if a little soft and pale
It has to be the most rewarding way to turn a great photo into a physical momento that can be passed around and stuck to the wall

Paper capacity: 1 | Weight: 162gGreat photo quality Attractive designExpensiveSlow to print Polaroid’s Zinc (zero ink) technology is
used to great effect in this highly portable and well thought-out printer
It is slim enough to slip into a shoulder bag and weighs only 162g and most of that weight belongs to the 900mAh battery
The Polaroid photo paper is rather expensive and limits you to 2x3-inch prints but the results always look colourful, detailed and
And no, shaking does not make the image develop faster

Paper sizes: 10x15cm | Paper capacity: 1 | Weight: 0.8kgVivid colours x3 Bluetooth usersExpensive consumables Not pocket-sizedThe
latest in HP’s portable photo printer line ditches ZINK for an inkjet-based system and prints on the slightly larger 10x15cm format
That makes the Studio, the Sprocket that won’t fit in your pocket, but also the one with the best image quality
The proprietary ink/paper packages are rather pricey, but the system yields vivid results and it is lots of fun to use
Up to three users can connect to it over Bluetooth and use the excellent companion app to print from
The app offers lots of templates and stock images with which to spice up your photos. (Image credit: HP)9
