Canon MAXIFY BX110 review: A diminutive, brilliant inkjet for businesses that need printing on the go

"Despite its tiny size - a little smaller than a ream of paper - Canon's new inkjet has many of the features you'd expect from a regular single-function device. On top, there's a small screen with a simple control panel. Lift a flap and you'll find a couple of squat ink tanks - one contains black, while the other has cyan, magenta, and yellow inks. You can either connect the MAXIFY BX110 with a USB-C cable or join it to a Wi-Fi network."

"As a mobile printer, though, the MAXIFY BX110 also comes with a removable, rechargeable lithium-ion battery. This lets you take it wherever you want and still print a claimed 330 pages. Back in the office, you can plug in and recharge in about two hours, or five hours over USB if you're away from a power outlet. Other mobile-friendly tweaks include an access point (AP) wireless mode, allowing you to connect and print from multiple mobile devices."

"Of course, this mobile-focused feature set means you miss out on a couple of big printer features. Those covers double as a paper input tray limited to only 50 sheets, and a rudimentary flap rather than an output tray: printed pages simply end up on the desk, hotel bed or car seat. There's also no room for duplex (double-sided printing), although the driver helps you do it manually. Typically for mobile printers, there's also no soft travel pouch included to provide protection in transit."

Canon MAXIFY BX110 is a tiny portable inkjet roughly the size of a ream of paper. It includes a small screen and simple control panel, with two squat ink tanks (one black; the other cyan, magenta, yellow). Connectivity options are USB-C or Wi‑Fi. A removable rechargeable lithium‑ion battery enables claimed 330-page printing with about two‑hour AC recharge or five hours over USB. Mobile-friendly features include AP wireless mode and covers that fold flat to protect the paper path from dust. Tradeoffs include a 50-sheet input tray, no output tray, no duplex, no travel pouch, and small supplies rated 200 black or 260 color pages.
