Best Portable Printers Of 2022

Picking the best portable printers allows you to print photos, documents, and receipts without being physically wired to a printer.

Thanks to their compact and lightweight designs, you can carry them around using batteries to power them, making them incredibly versatile devices.

You can connect devices you want to print from, such as laptops, tablets, and smartphones, via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

For example, this makes them ideal for printing photos from your phone. And, while portable printers are smaller than normal printers, that doesn't mean they aren't able to provide the same level of print quality. As we mentioned earlier, many portable printers are designed for printing photographs, so as you'd imagine, they offer excellent print quality, especially when used with photo paper.

We've compared these printers across numerous aspects, like their design, portability, weight, connectivity, and print speed. We've examined their build quality, printing quality, and overall printing costs.

We've also reviewed the best Brother printers, the best shredders, and the best printers for Macs.

By 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 a power adapter and battery pack so that 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.

This printer will serve you well if you're primarily printing text. But if you want complex graphics and vivid color-accurate photos, you'll want to explore other options.

Epson has managed to distill all of the elements of a color 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 colorful 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 printer has a top speed of 7ppm, and using pigment ink instead of dye ink helps to deliver more smudge-resistant pages.

The lithium-ion battery can be fast charged with the bundled charger or by connecting the supplied USB cable to any powered USB port. It doesn’t print quickly; unsurprisingly, there is no auto-duplex mode, but this is excellent quality for mobile printing.

Canon has done well to shrink this full-color inkjet printer to a size that will fit easily into a briefcase without compromising print quality. It comes with key features such as Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct connectivity, an OLED screen, and the ability to store custom templates. These could be useful for repeat printing, whatever forms your business uses regularly.

You can power it from any live USB port, like the one in your car, and an optional rechargeable battery is available. It’s compatible with AirPrint and Google Cloud Print, making it easy to print from your mobile device.

The TR150 is quite simple to set up. You start lifting the lid and installing the print head, after which you can download the software online or insert the installation disc into your computer. Online setup is swift, you can use your phone to capture the included QR code and launch the installation process.

HP has managed to shrink the inkjet printer to the size of a cigar box while adding a battery compartment. The result is a highly portable device that can turn out crisp color documents at a rate of 10 per minute in mono or 7 in color.

The portable printer has a 50-sheet paper capacity to hold up to letter-width sheets, and it can print up to 300 pages a month. Unsurprisingly, there’s no duplex mode, but it can handle envelopes and photo paper and any size up to A4.

With Wi-Fi Direct and a USB port, you can print from anywhere with this ingenious device. However, the OfficeJet 200 doesn't come with a USB cable, and you'll need to have one if you plan to print via USB connectivity.

This small and stylish inkjet requires a power point as there’s no battery option, but it’s the perfect portable printer in all other respects. Weighing just 6.5kg, it fits easily in a bag, and the ‘X’ edition 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 a 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 we have come across.

Portable printer for full-size instant smartphone photos

Slow to print

This pocket-sized printer will turn your smartphone into an instant camera and one with far superior print quality. Using an evolution of Kodak’s instant film technology, imprints are seared onto special photo paper without using ink cartridges. This eliminates your ink cost and simplifies the printer enough to make it highly portable and battery-powered.

You will need to buy packs of Instax film rather than paper, and these are not cheap, but Fujifilm’s new wide format finally yields photos of a decent size and great full-color quality.

The printer uses Bluetooth 4.2 to connect with other devices. There is a micro USB port, but it is only for charging. Although you can link the printer to a computer, you need the Instax Link Wide app on iOS or Android to run the printer.

This is essentially a regular mains-powered color inkjet printer but reduced in size and functionality to fit into a briefcase. No Ethernet port or scanner bed exists, but that flat top is perfect for scanning documents using your smartphone and Canon’s iOS/Android companion app. At the same time, the inclusion of both Bluetooth and AirPrint makes it easy to connect wirelessly.

It prints on glossy photo paper or plain paper with room for sixty sheets of A4 in the main tray. Canon bundles the printer with two small inkjet cartridges, one black, and one combined color – unsurprisingly, these are a little less economical than regular cartridges. There is no auto-duplex mode, but if you are looking for an affordable printer that’s small enough to take with you, this is a great little solution.

Not pocket-sized

The latest HP portable photo printer line ditches ZINK for an inkjet-based system and prints on the slightly larger 10x15cm format. That means the Sprocket Studio won’t fit in your pocket, but it's also the one with the best image quality.

The proprietary ink/paper packages are rather pricey, but the system yields vivid results and is lots of fun.

This printer uses "dye-sublimation" to transfer layers of color onto a medium. Although it’s a slower process than the technology used in standard inkjet printers, the results are better than what you'll get from regular printers.

Up to three users can connect to it over Bluetooth and use the excellent companion app to print from. The app offers many templates and stock images to spice up your photos.

Quite heavy

This miniaturization marvel combines a scanner and full-color inkjet printer in a device that will fit in a travel bag. It also has a small display, an automatic document feed (ADF), Wi-Fi, and a rechargeable battery.

Its especially small inkjet cartridges produce a surprisingly high yield, and the print quality and speed equal the average office inkjet. In short, this is a decent all-around desktop all-in-one that happens to have been shrunk to the size of a washbag.

The OfficeJet 250 has a rear input tray that can hold up to 50 letter-width papers. Similar to the OfficeJet 200, it can print up to 300 pages monthly and supports manual duplexing. This printer can perform one-sided scanning and save scans to PDF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and other formats.

Expensive paper

This portable printer could almost slide into a jacket pocket, yet it can print onto A4-sized paper. By using thermal imprinting, instead of impact printing which requires ink and many more moving parts, this battery-powered device requires no consumables other than the special thermal paper.

What differentiates this model from most portable printers is the addition of MFi (Made For iPhone), making it easier to sync with Mac and iOS devices over Bluetooth. With a battery that lasts for 100 prints and no ink limitations, you really can print from anywhere with this rugged and highly portable device.

You can connect the printer to computers and smartphones through USB or Bluetooth, but since there's no Wi-Fi connectivity, you can't use Apple AirPrint, Google Cloud Print, Mopria, and other connection that rely on Wi-Fi.

Check out our picks for the best photo printers

How to choose the best portable printers for you?

When selecting a portable printer for yourself, you'll want to start with evaluating the machine's size, weight, and printing capacity. Smaller printers are not designed to meet heavy printing needs, so you'll want to check how many pages a month the printer can deliver.

You'll want to assess the connectivity options. If you want a hassle-free printing experience, go for a portable printer that offers wireless connectivity and support for protocols like Apple AirPrint.

Make sure to consider whether you'll be printing more text-oriented material or image and graphic-oriented files. Check the cost of the ink to get a clear idea of how much you could be spending each month. Some portable printers use thermal paper instead of regular ink, but despite the added cost, they'll offer greater portability.

Lastly, check the printer's speed, multi-function capabilities, and control panel, among other things.

The best portable printers: How we test

We assess all our printers on our printing test bench and compare the results against the other printers we've tested. There's a standard ten-page document we print across all the printers to get a clear idea of their performance. The test pages have fonts of different sizes and colors, with some pages containing both images and text.

We also calculate the running costs of the portable printers and evaluate their design, portability, build quality, connectivity features, and multi-function capabilities.

If you have a small office or need to print papers while traveling, a portable printer is a worthwhile investment. These days, there are tons of compact, lightweight models are on the market—and most are relatively affordable.

If you need to print labels or receipts, a thermal printer is the way to go. Also, portable printers are typically wireless, and some even run on rechargeable batteries, which is super-handy and saves you from desperately searching for a coveted outlet at an airport or train station.

Whether you're looking for a mini photo printer to take on vacation or need something to quickly generate documents before a client meeting, we've rounded up the best options to suit your needs and budget.

What to Consider

The type of portable printer you get largely depends on what functionality you need, which boils down to photos and documents.

Portable photo printers are more compact and affordable, and typically use either Zink or dye-sublimation technology. Zink, or zero ink, printing uses special paper that holds the ink, which is then released through a pressure-printing process. Dye sublimation photo printers are similar, but use actual ink cartridges (which will have to be replaced) and can make more vibrant images by doing more passes on the photo paper. Another perk of dye sublimation is that the photos are water-resistant and more durable over time.

If you want the flexibility to print more than just photos, there are compact printers for standard text documents, too. Though they might not fit in your pocket, some are small enough to pack up in your work bag, and are relatively lightweight. Most use standard inkjet technology, and factors to take into account when comparing features are generally the same as full-size printers, such as print speed, paper auto feed, and two-sided printing.

In terms of powering up portable printers, some must be plugged into an outlet, whereas other run on a rechargeable battery.

How We Selected

We dug into our own research from previous reporting on the best photo printers to select these models, and consulted expert reviews from reliable sources like Tech Radar, PC Mag, and Tom’s Guide. Because there are several types of portable printers available, we made sure to include a variety of options across a range of price points for printing both photos and documents. We also considered over 20,000 consumer reviews from retail sites like Amazon and Walmart to get a sense of how user-friendly and reliable the printers are from regular users like you, and chose only products with a minimum average customer rating of 4 stars.

Best of 2022: Wireless Printers | Digital World Magazine

Modern man is so spoiled by the abundance of technological innovations that we are no longer satisfied with the technology with wires. Let's face it, this is inconvenient, as the wires tend to get tangled, take up extra space and deprive the technique of aesthetics.

Wireless Internet, a headset, robotic vacuum cleaners - all this is no longer something unusual. So why should printers be any exception? Wireless printers are the obvious choice for those who want to tidy up their workspace. The best wireless printers not only eliminate the need for an extra set of wires, but also allow you to place the device anywhere in the room, even if it's not in close proximity to your computer or device. If you don’t know what to choose among the huge abundance of wireless printers, then use our recommendations and a list of the best new products in 2022. nine0003

To print, all you need to do is make sure your computer and printer are connected to Wi-Fi or Ethernet, and then follow the instructions for printing as usual. Many wireless printer models now have apps that you can download to your smartphone or tablet and print with just a few taps on the screen.

However, when shopping for wireless printers, you must first decide whether you prefer an inkjet printer or a laser printer—both of which have their advantages and disadvantages. Or maybe you want a photo printer to print your favorite shots and selfies in vibrant full color. To help you decide, we've put together the following list of the best wireless printers currently on the market so you can get started optimizing your home office or workspace in no time! nine0003

With many printer manufacturers moving to wireless, there's no shortage of options on the market to help take your printing needs to the next level. So we rated over a dozen wireless printers from top brands like HP, Canon, Brothers, and Epson before coming up with five that made the list. We primarily chose printers that had not only high customer ratings, but also overwhelmingly positive reviews, to ensure that these printers provide quality results for the people who already use them. nine0003

Other features we looked at included cost effectiveness and environmental friendliness. Where possible, models were favored that featured cartridgeless printing or universal ink cartridges, as well as other features such as automatic two-sided printing to save paper. We've also selected ones that fit a variety of different needs, from budget printers for the home office to high-end models better equipped for small and medium businesses. Because everyone's printing needs are different, your wireless printer should also reflect these differences. nine0003

Save money with inexpensive replacement ink bottles that cost just one cent per color print compared to 20 cents with standard ink cartridges.

Feature:

Print Technology: Inkjet
Connectivity technology: Wi-Fi, USB, ethernet
Print: Color
pages per minute: 15 black; 8 color

Pros:

Exceptional print quality
Innovative printing without cartridges
Large 250-sheet paper tray

Cons:

It does not have a touch screen
No USB port as backup

Eliminate the need for expensive and wasteful ink cartridges with the Epson EcoTank ET-3760 Supertank printer without cartridges. EcoFit ink bottles make refilling your ink bottles easy, economical and environmentally friendly as you no longer have to dispose of costly and usually depleted inkjet cartridges. Compared to cartridges, you will get significant savings of up to 90 percent on ink replacement by switching to ink bottles. In fact, you can print up to 7,500 pages in black and 6,000 in color, or roughly the equivalent of 90 individual ink cartridges when refilling the tanks.

But even with these impressive savings, you won't have to worry about a drop in print quality. Claria ET pigment black ink delivers exceptionally crisp text, while color photos and graphics look great on virtually any type of paper thanks to its unique heat-free PrecisionCore technology. Paper won't run out much faster than ink either, thanks to the automatic document feed that feeds from the 250-sheet paper tray. And just like that, automatic two-sided printing will save you even more money and resources. nine0003

The Epson EcoTank ET-3760's only drawbacks are the lack of a touch screen and USB port, which are now standard on most printers, even wireless ones. However, it's good to have a backup because you can't always count on Wi-Fi not going down. And the touchscreen is just a nice touch that makes the printer more convenient to use, even when most of the heavy lifting is done remotely.

Designed for small and medium businesses, this printer is packed with features to deliver high quality and minimal maintenance for optimum performance. nine0003

Features:

Print Technology: Laser
Connectivity technology: Wireless, Wi-Fi
Print: Color
Pages per minute: 28

Pros:

Five-inch intuitive color touch screen
High capacity universal ink cartridge
Security features protect confidential information

Cons:

Printer heavy and difficult to use
Toner expensive, no aftermarket options

If your small or medium business needs a laser printer that produces high quality output with minimal maintenance, the Canon ImageClass MF743Cdw all-in-one printer is for you. With print, scan, copy and fax capabilities, you can do all the office tasks you need with just one impressive device. In addition, to reduce costs and protect the environment, the toner is supplied in a universal cartridge along with standard duplex printing. nine0003

An impressive 5-inch color touchscreen with smartphone-like ease of use provides an intuitive user interface and can be configured to access the most frequently used features and simplify everyday tasks. Plus, it also supports mobile print and scan solutions so you can convert documents to searchable digital files with single-pass scanning and duplex document feed. However, as a security feature, documents are only stored in short-term memory, which helps reduce the risk of losing sensitive information. nine0003

But before buying, be aware that it is large and heavy. Not only does it require two people to move it, but it also requires a minimum 20" x 20" surface to access the front and back of the printer. And despite being a generic cartridge, compatible toner is still very expensive, and unfortunately there are no replacement options in the aftermarket at this time.

Print professional-quality documents with rich, vibrant colors at an affordable price, but with the fine quality and performance of a laser printer. nine0003

Features:

Print Technology: Laser
Connectivity technology: Wi-Fi, USB, ethernet, NFC
Print: Color
pages per minute: Up to 25

Pros:

Lightning speed at 25 ppm
250-sheet adjustable paper tray
Connect to popular cloud applications

Cons:

Instructions are difficult to interpret
Print quality not good enough for large photos

Ideal for home offices and small businesses, the Brother MFC-L3770CDW Laser Printer offers compact digital all-in-one productivity for color printing, copying, scanning and faxing. Boost productivity with print speeds up to 25 ppm and scan speeds up to 29 ppm black or 22 ppm color. It also boasts versatile paper handling with a 250-sheet adjustable paper tray and a multi-purpose tray that holds up to 30 sheets. nine0003

Choose from standard or high performance toner to add vibrant images to your documents at an affordable price and make color printing even more economical. You can also select "Toner Save Mode" to further save on toner costs. And for added versatility, you can even print and scan with popular cloud apps like Dropbox, Google Drive, Evernote, OneNote2 and more right from your mobile device. nine0003

But while the printer has the ability to print full color photos and images, if that's your main goal when buying a printer, then this may not be the machine you need. While it does a great job printing documents, some users have reported that the image quality is poor when printing large graphics. Some customer feedback also noted that the instructions were somewhat complex and may require training for less tech-savvy individuals. nine0003

Get everything you need with a high quality printer in a compact and affordable option ideal for the home.

Feature:

Print Technology: Inkjet
Connectivity technology: Wi-Fi
Print: Color
Pages per minute: 19

Pros:

Compact size that fits anywhere
HP Cloud Management Smart App
Various paper sizes supported

Cons:

Automatic 2-sided printing does not work
Loud operation during printing

Save space by doing everything you need with the HP DeskJet 3755 Wireless Printer, a small, versatile printer designed to fit where you need it and take up minimal space in your home. Scroll Scan helps you easily complete most scanning tasks, from plain paper to rigid media. Plus, it supports a wide variety of paper sizes including postal, legal, custom, and #10 envelopes for any job you can get done. nine0003

With wireless printing, you can quickly connect and easily print anything from the Cloud from most smartphones and tablets using the HP Smart app. Easily manage all your tasks right from apps like iCloud, Dropbox and Google Drive. And with HP Instant Ink, you'll never run out of ink while saving up to 50 percent on replacement cartridges, which can also be conveniently ordered from within the app.

Some minor drawbacks include inconvenient paper feed loading, and two-sided printing requires manually feeding sheets into the printer. If excessive noise distracts you, then think twice about buying this printer, as numerous customer reviews have complained about its awfully loud operation. But with the overall low cost of the printer and compact size, this is a small price overall. nine0003

Print your most interesting photo projects from anywhere with a palm-sized photo printer that fits in your bag, purse or pocket.

And you don't even have to spend a small fortune on ink, as ZINK's zero-ink technology works without the need for expensive cartridges and toners that can fill up quickly. nine0003

An innovative printing process uses embedded dye crystals to produce accessible and beautifully detailed prints. They are also water and tear resistant thanks to an extra layer of stain resistant protective coating. As an added bonus, you can download the free Kodak app to customize your photos and create collages with filters, frames, stickers and other social media-like features, only in real life. Just edit the images on your film roll and let the printer take care of the rest. nine0003

However, while you save on ink, some users have noted that the photo paper itself can be a little pricey. But that shouldn't come as a shock to those of us who grew up using Polaroid cameras. And while the printer comes with five photos on a sticky cover - perfect for decorating scrapbooks, refrigerators, laptops and more - purchasing additional items can be delayed and require waiting.

When choosing the best wireless printer, the first thing to ask yourself is what will be your basic printing needs. For example, do you own a small business or want to add printing, scanning and faxing capabilities to your home office? Or perhaps you're more interested in printing photos and other colorful images. Of course, there is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to printers, which can vary greatly depending on what features you are looking for and what your budget is. nine0003

So, if your needs are limited to occasional printing and document scanning, you'll probably be fine with the budget all-in-one option, which typically costs less than $100. On the other hand, business owners who have professional needs may want a higher-end model that can print at high speeds and accommodate unusual sized documents such as shipping labels and envelopes.

Print type is another consideration that you will need to determine. While laser printers typically cost more, they use toner cartridges, which tend to also cost more to begin with, but provide longer cartridge life and higher performance. However, inkjet printers tend to be cheaper and use ink cartridges that are cheaper initially (and often have compatible aftermarket solutions) but run out of ink faster and also have a shorter shelf life. Or maybe you want to use a photo printer. nine0003

Q: What is the difference between a wireless printer and a Wi-Fi printer?

Basically, there is no difference between a wireless printer and a Wi-Fi printer. Wireless printers, also known as Wi-Fi printers, work by connecting to a network without the need for a cable. Once the wireless printer is successfully connected to the Wi-Fi network, you can sync most computers, smartphones, and tablets for wireless printing.

Question: Can I use a wireless printer without internet?

You can use a wireless printer without the Internet, but only if the printer supports Wi-Fi, the router is still capable of communicating between devices on the LAN, and both the router and the wireless network adapters are working properly. Alternatively, if your wireless printer has a USB port, you can connect manually.

Question: How much does a wireless printer cost?

The cost of a wireless printer can vary significantly depending on features and printing performance. For basic home needs, you can easily get a wireless printer for less than $100, while professional options run into the thousands.

Considering its mid-range price and economical cartridgeless printing, it should be a little surprising that the top choice for the best wireless printer is the Epson EcoTank ET-3760 Supertank cartridgeless printer. Because ink is typically the most significant expense for desktop publishing, you can save up to 90 percent on refillable ink bottles compared to expensive and wasteful cartridges. However, if you're running a small to medium business, the Canon ImageClass MF743Cdw all-in-one printer is also a great option. With high productivity and minimal maintenance, you'll save time on both printing and troubleshooting.
