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.

Filter-free and fun, the Fujifilm Instax Mini 11 Instant Camera is on sale Right Now for Prime Day
fujifilm instax mini 11 camera prime big deal days

It's 2024, and you’re considering a point-and-shoot camera. Zero judgment here. I miss the good ol’ days of flipping through actual photo albums instead of doom-scrolling on Instagram. You can get back to those days by snagging a (in the ice white color), and it’s the perfect time because it’s on sale. Get it for 24% off during Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days, but hurry while inventory is going strong.
There’s something magical about having a physical photo right in your hand seconds after snapping the shot, and it adds a fun, retro vibe to moments you want to capture and keep. Plus, having an actual picture to hold and display can be so much more satisfying than just another digital file on your phone. I picked one up two years ago for my eight-year-old daughter, and it’s been an instant hit in our household. And now, at its $59 sale price, I'm definitely going to be stocking up on a few to gift ahead of the holiday season.

How the Fujifilm Instax Mini 11 works
The delightful throwback comes with a FUJINON 60mm lens and an automatic exposure feature that adjusts the shutter speed for the best shot, even in low light. While the picture quality won’t be as crisp as what your smartphone can capture, it’ll still produce a quality image worthy of slapping on a refrigerator.
If selfies are your thing, this camera has a dedicated Selfie Mode (with a mirror). We set up a DIY photo booth for my daughter's birthday party with sticker frames so each kid could go home with a photo souvenir, and it was a total hit.
You can opt to make it a set with a range of accessories to buy separately, like a carrying case, a handy strap, those sticker borders I mentioned, and photo albums to hold the memories.
