Printing is a necessity at times, but it’s not always convenient. For those on-the-go workers who need to draft out presentations or contracts at a moment’s notice, Epson just came out with the “world’s smallest and lightest mobile printer.” The WorkForce WF-100 ($350) is a portable color inkjet printer that uses a rechargeable battery and connects via Wi-Fi.

The whole unit is small enough to fit inside a desk drawer. When not in use, the WF-100 measures 12.2 inches wide, 9.1 inches deep, and 2.4 inches tall. It weighs 3.5 pounds, so you could carry it in a bag or toss it in the car. Yet it can print standard-sized documents up to 8.5 x 11.

The WF-100 uses pigment-based ink that Epson says will produce prints that resist fading for up to 118 years. If you’re printing just black and white, the ink cartridge will yield 250 pages; 200 pages for color.

With Wi-Fi and support for Wi-Fi Direct, you can pretty much print from any device, including smartphones and tablets. It also supports Google Cloud Print and Apple AirPrint natively, and there’s a 1.4-inch color LCD for easier operation.

While the printer is targeted toward working professionals (real estate agents, contractors, etc.) the WF-100 can also be used to print 4×6 photos, and Epson has a bunch of apps you can use for both productivity and creative purposes. It’s not the fastest printer (6.7 in black and white, 3.8 in color), but what you lose in speed you gain in portability.

The excellent intermediate Canon EOS R10 camera is $86 off at Walmart today
Canon EOS R10 camera mirrorless with STM lens attached and flash up

I recently grabbed a Canon EOS R50 bundle for a trip to the Dominican Republic. I did a lot of research before I made my decision, sifting through the best camera deals, and the two options I essentially narrowed down were the R50 and the EOS R10. The biggest difference between the two is that the R10 gives you more granular control over some of the photoshoot settings. R50, on the other hand, was designed assuming you'll mostly use the automatic shooting modes. That's a great option for novices, while the R10 is better for intermediate to more skilled photographers. Why am I telling you all of this? Because the excellent Canon EOS R10 camera is on sale at Walmart for Black Friday, discounted by $86 to $760 instead of $846. It is one of the better early Black Friday camera deals I've found so far. It comes with an 18-45mm lens. Needless to say, that's a great deal. Comparatively, the R10 with body only -- no lens -- is .
