The Good
One can print on the go without bothering about wires as it has batteries and can be connected to a car adapter as well. A camera or a DV Camcorder can also be connected. The adapter can be permanently mounted in the printer so that it need not be attached every time.
The Bad
The printer is excellent but unfortunately it is not covered by a case. Moreover, when many sheets are loaded simultaneously the feeder grabs the sheets all at once. This makes it impossible to print more than two sheets at a time. The printer often gets jammed.
