VERY HANDY, LOOKS NIFTY, AND PRINTS FAST!
By Shashank Tripathi
THE GOOD:
(1) This is the lightest printer among peers. HP's 450cbi, the closest alternative in my book, is nowhere near as portable as the i70.
(2) Prints directly from a digicam. I use Canon's G3, and I can now share photo print-outs straight from my camera. No need to lug my laptop around.
(3) The battery life is great, don't believe detractors. IN general you don't need the battery -- that is only for outings, for those occasions when you just have to print out something while sitting by the lake.
(4) It is FAST! Especially for color prints, it outpaces my full-blown HP laserjet.
(5) It is QUIET. You'll have to get used to its noiseless printing. First time round, I had to check to make sure the paper was printed on.
(6) Is a breeze to INSTALL. Something you can expect from Canon, of course.
(7) Works with both Windows and Macs.
CAVEATS:
(1) The photo quality may not appeal to shutterbugs, especially if NOT printed on photo paper, but for general office workers with little desk space or for folks with a packed travel roster, the i70 is a pretty safe bet.
(2) The ink costs may sky rocket quite quickly if you print colored stuff often. If, like me, your general printing is B&W, then this is a great buy.
(3) The price, especially if you buy the battery pack. But there are deals if you know where to look.
SUMMARY:
A great overall printer, definitely if you need to carry one around. I purchase Epson's photo paper (not Canon's own) for color shots and the i70 prints more than adequately. The speed, the quality and the quietness make it one of my top printer recommendations -- all things said, even better than a regular inkjet.

Remarkable little printer
By Paul Hite
I just bought this yesterday, so this is just my initial impressions.... I saw it in the store beside the HP 450. The i70 was about half the size of the 450. The Cannon rep was there and I asked for both a photo and text to be printed. The results were pretty awesome for such a tiny printer. This is just the perfect printer for a laptop.
But the only connections are via USB or infra-red. No parallel port! (That official Amazon.com review is wrong about this.) It comes with AC adaptor.... Also no USB cable. So it winds up being pricey. But it's worth it. It's also very good looking... not like that older model (Cannon 85?) which was an ugly black box.
The infra-red port is on the right side. My laptop's infra-red port is also on the right. Since I didn't want a backwards printer, I went with the USB connect. Installation was very easy. They give you a large, but one-page step-by-step guide. I was printing in about 15 minutes.
It has one tub for color ink and a second tub for black ink. So if you print a lot of text, you won't use up that expensive color ink.
I hope that this printer can last as long as an HP printer. If it can, Cannon has HP beat.

Forget the feature list. This printer really IS portable.
By Esther Schindler
My husband was going to a two-week writer's workshop, and needed a printer to bring along. We bought a Canon i70 bubble jet printer, even though it cost considerably more than most low-end printers. We haven't regretted the purchase for a moment.
The printer has two strong marks in its favor:
* It weighs only 7 pounds. It's also about the size of a hardback novel, and slid right into his iBook-and-computer backpack. (Other people had to ship a box, complete with styrofoam and packing tape.)
* The ink cartridges cost $11 each. (Amazon's likely to cut the dollar amount, so I'll also point out this costs less than two fast-food dinners.)
At the relatively low ink price, we assumed that the printer would go through ink faster than I can eat a box of Lindt chocolate truffles. So we made sure to get a second cartridge before he left. To his surprise, a single ink cartridge lasted the entire two weeks -- even though he went through an entire ream of paper. (Not single-spaced with lots of fonts, and no color to speak of, but that's still pretty impressive.)
Note, however, that the i70 doesn't hold a lot of sheets at a time. That wasn't a criteria for the traveling printer (and we have a color laser at home, so it doesn't get much use off-the-road), but it might matter to you.
To be honest, we haven't done any real color printing on it yet, other than to test that it worked. So I can't speak to that. However, it's certainly fast.
Bottom line: if you need a truly portable printer, I don't think you'll do better than this. While plenty of other inkjets are light enough that, yeah, if you had to bring it along you COULD, the Canon i70 is easy enough to grab and stuff in your luggage. You'll take it along without a second thought.
