The value of portable printers as a piece of office equipment or home office machine has been extolled by an article in the American Chronicle.

Business people on deadlines and party hosts eager to print off fun-filled snaps for guests can benefit from a portable printer that meets their specific needs, wrote columnist Michael Jordan.

Many printers do more than print and have multiple functions, such as being able to scan documents and photos, in addition to acting as a fax machine.

These office machines can be attached by a lead to a single computer, integrated into a network or connected to a storage device such as a USB memory stick or digital camera.

This factor makes such printers an extremely versatile office product, the article suggested.

"Printer companies are under attack as more people become concerned about global warming and toxic pollution," wrote Mr Jordan.

He pointed out that some companies, including Lyra Research, were urging office machine and printer supplies manufacturers to "greenwash" their image.

Office equipment manufacturers, such as Hewlett Packard and IBM, are in fact seeking ways to reduce the energy consumption of their products, InfoWorld web journal reported.
