So I’m perusing the Gold Box Deals in my daily Amazon e-mail and come across this printer, a Canon PIXMA iP100 Mobile Photo Printer.
And my scrappy heart starts to pitter-patter and, okay, well, race a little bit, if you must know.
I’m wondering if I’ve stumbled upon another portable photo printer to add to the Scrapbooker’s Master Printer List!??!
Note: As we know, I can be verbose. But this is a Gold Box Deal for a limited time so feel free to skip all the verbage and go snag you a $249 printer for only $149 before it’s gone (ETA 04-22-14: Make that $120 OMG!). Don’t let me stop you from saving $100. What am I, Cruella de Vil? No, no . . . no hurt feelings on my part. You gotta’ get your shop on. I get it. Truly, I do. {Here’s the LINK again}.
Another ETA 04-22-14: Well, dang, only 2 hours left! I’ve never bought a Gold Box deal before, didn’t understand how they work. I guess it’s for even less than 1 day, LOL. There’s a ticker on the Deals page and it says 2 hours left with 11% claimed. Oh well, sorry, not much notice. But still wondering if anyone has this printer and what they think of it.
So, we already know the 2 most popular portable photo printers for our types {i.e., the Scrapbook Obsessed} . . .
#1 The Canon SELPHY CP900
#2 The Epson PictureMate Charm {which is on a screamin’ deal right now for $167.50 (reg. $199) with free shipping}
They each have their upsides and downsides and, as far as I can tell, scrapbookers who like to print photos at home {especially for PROJECT LIFE} are about evenly divided in their Selphy vs Charm love <3 But could this be a new scrapbooker's printer to join the contest? Here are the features that caught my eye: - Light, small, compact - great for taking to crops or on vacay - Excellent reviews for photo quality - Prints photos (and, say, journaling or a copy of that map you scanned from Disneyland?) up to 8.5 x 11 - Prints wirelessly from phone, camera, and computers (Mac and PC) using add-on Bluetooth adapter - Can print multiple photos per page It's all sounding pretty good to me so far! My old EPSON PICTUREMATE is still chuggin’ along so I really don’t neeeeeeddd a new photo printer. But if I did, I’d sure be checking this one out!
What do you think of it? If anyone has this printer, please share a review with us!

I have an older model of the Picturemate . . . it’s the PictureMate Zoom. I will continue to use it as long as it still works. I don’t print all my photos with it, though. If I need to shrink a picture, reprint at a crop because a pic was ruined for one reason or another and I need it quickly, or if I need a picture from the internet of something of which I couldn’t get a good picture that is when I use my Zoom.
I’m glad to hear there are other portable printers out there in case mine breaks down.
