After extensive research - the canon is the best option. Unfortunately, there are not that many options. The canon and hp are both bulky. I place my printer in my 22 inch Tumi roll on. It has gotten beaten up in there as it has been gate checked. Recently I have noticed that the color ink cartridge has started leaking because of being banged up. I love the fact I have a printer available to me. I plug it into my Apple Express and it prints wirelessly. Pictures are great and fast.
