There are a lot of things you can do when you have a printer. With a printer, you are obviously able to print texts, colored graphics, or even photos. Some new printers can even scan as well as photocopy. Well, that’s basically it, for printers that is. But what if your printer is the mobile type? If your printer is one of those small travel printers, more activities can be derived from it. It adds more flavor to it. It adds more activities you can do with your printer. The only limit is your imagination.

Starting with the most obvious, you can send postcards from vacation or from anywhere for that matter. Imagine yourself walking along the beaches of Hawaii. With your digital camera, take a picture of yourself and using your mobile printer, make a hard copy and send it as a signed postcard to any of your family, or you could just keep it to yourself.

Do you have to do a lot of reports? Are you always on the road? A mobile printer will solve your problems. It doesn’t mean that the mobile printer will do your job for you. In fact, it is incapable of doing your job. But what it does is it offers you the convenience of doing your job while on the road. There is no more need to go home just to get the reports done. Just be sure to bring your laptop or your PDA along so you can print your reports. Otherwise, all you got is a printer and no report.

One of the best things you can do with your portable printer is make money out of it. Since you already spent some in order to buy it, why not get it back by capitalizing on the features of what you bought?

Take for example the Canon Pixma iP100. It is able to print high quality pictures because of its patented printer head technology. With its resolution of 9600 x 2400 dots per inch, printing photos on this printer will be the same as having pictures developed in a photo shop. Using this printer, you can go to famous vacation spots, spot a few obvious tourists, offer to take some pictures and offer to have them printed for a price. The instant photo hasn’t lost its value in this age. If you are shy by nature, doing something like this will help you become bolder.

If you’re too shy to approach people, why not setup your own printing booth and wait for customers to come in. This is really a good earning opportunity during festivities. With the infrared or Bluetooth interface, you can even offer services such as PC-less photo printing. It would also help if you had your very own camera. You could provide your very own scenic backdrop, which fits the occasion.

Again, the only limit to what you can do is your imagination. So make use of that portable printer of yours and make sure that you get the best out of it.
