When you need a paper copy OOO

While the world is more digital than ever, the decades-old promise of a paperless world still seems a long way off. Ironically, one of the places you’re most likely to need a printer is when you’re working with clients on business trips or in the field. As time goes on, it’s becoming less and less common to find printers everywhere you go, so a portable printer can be a real life-saver when you need hard copies of something outside of the office.

Portable printers come in a variety of designs, shapes, sizes, and features. Most of the purchasing decisions are similar when choosing any type of printer, but a few aspects are specific to these mobile machines.

First of all, portable printers have a battery rating, usually measured in the number of pages they can print on a full charge. That number varies based on the print quality and whether or not it’s full color. So pay close attention to the numbers listed and make sure they’re enough to meet your real-world needs.
