I feel that this Canon printer has a bit of an identity crisis. As a rough generalization, I’d say that Canon’s Pixma line-up of printers is mostly aimed at home users, whereas its Maxify range is geared for business use in the office. This mobile model is a minor refresh of the Canon Pixma TR150, but it seems like the new edition can’t quite decide whether it’s for business or pleasure, or both. It’s badged as the Pixma TR160 in the USA and Australia and as the Maxify BX110 in Europe. Either way, similarities between this and the previous model vastly outweigh the differences.

The previous Canon Pixma TR150 was widely available in two different options, with or without a rechargeable Li-ion battery. The latter makes more sense to me. After all, if you’re going to buy a mobile printer, you’ll generally want to use it anywhere, rather than just in places with a readily available mains electrical outlet. Either way, you could buy the bare-bones TR150 on its own for $180 / £200 / AU$396, or spend $250 / £260 / AU$487 for the complete package with an included Li-ion rechargeable battery. It’s early days for the new model at the time of writing this review but so far, the Pixma TR160 is only available in the USA for $249 without the battery pack, which costs an additional $99 to buy separately. That’s quite a price hike over the older model. In Europe, you can only buy the new Maxify BX110 complete with battery pack for £259, which is pretty much the same price as previously. No model name nor price has yet been announced in Australia. As I say, it’s early days and I guess things will all work out in the wash.
