The Canon BJC-820 is a portable color inkjet printer that improves on previous models with faster speeds while still offering great print quality and the portability buyers expect. Its price is a bit high, but the low cost of Canon BJC-820 ink and individual color printer ink keeps running costs down.

Since the unit weighs only 9.9 pounds and measures 7.2 inches by 16.1 inches by 9.96 inches, it is ideal for travelers and others who wish to take it with them on a trip or even a flight. It can even be put in a laptop bag for storage. The included lithium ion battery provides up to 100 sheets on battery power alone, which makes it even more portable than models which require a power outlet.

There are a few drawbacks, however. First, it only connects via parallel port. Users with newer computers likely will need to get an adapter to convert to USB, but this does add some bulk and more accessories to carry around. Another problem is that pages must be fed through one at a time. This is a tradeoff for the unit's portability, but it could be frustrating for some users. An automatic feed unit is available as an option, but it adds to the unit's size.

The cost of printer ink is a concern for any inkjet, but Canon BJC-820 ink cartridges are fairly inexpensive. Canon BJC-820 ink cartridges also have separate tanks for each color, meaning less wasted ink and more economical costs.

For the traveler or the home or small office user who needs portability, the Canon BJC-820 makes an excellent choice. Its battery allows it to go places other models can't, and its print quality is impressive. Its price may be too high for those who don't need a portable printer, but inexpensive Canon BJC-820 ink keeps the total cost of ownership low.
