Price

Portable printers tend to be fairly inexpensive. Models range from a low of $200 for non-color thermal transfer printers to a high of $350 for a color ink-jet model.

Since portable printers tend to use very small cartridges or ribbons, they cost more per page to print. You can expect to pay 5¢ per page for thermal transfer printers, and as much as 11¢ per page for some ink-jet printers. Color printer costs are even higher, hovering around 70¢ per page.

A car-lighter adapter, quick charger, and additional battery are all options you may need to purchase. Batteries can add $60-$80, while the car-lighter adapter and charger can easily add another $100.
