Despite its portability and great photo quality, the Canon PIXMA TR150 has high printing costs. Its low yield, missing scanner, and slow print speeds limit its functionality. You’ll find more feature-rich printers for less price.

Product Snapshot
Overview
Released in 2020, the Canon PIXMA TR150 is a mid-range wireless portable printer without scan, fax, and copy functionality. It has an input tray capacity of 50 pages and a 1.4” display (non-touchscreen), but it lacks automatic duplex printing. It has a color accuracy of 7.66 dE, 179 black-only and 194 color pages yield, and a 4800 x 1200 DPI print resolution.
Connectivity includes USB-A to computer, WiFi, WiFi Direct, Mopria, and AirPrint, but there’s no Ethernet and external storage support. For printers packing these essential features, consider our roundup of the best printers.
The Canon PIXMA TR150 is a lower mid-range printer that’s only satisfactory for families with minimal printing requirements. Its slow printing speeds of 7.75 PPM black-only and 3.275 PPM color make it a poor option for busy environments, ranking among the slowest on our certified, tested list.
Similarly, the low page yield (179 black and 194 color) and steep running costs (8.1 cents per page) are suitable only for sparse printing needs and are not recommended for businesses. However, photo prints with a 4800 x 1200 DPI resolution look good despite having average color accuracy (7.66 dE). The portable design is handy, advertised to last 330 prints, but the absence of features like auto duplex printing, Ethernet, and external storage support hampers convenience.
ReasonS to Buy
Good photo print quality
The portable Canon PIXMA TR150 is a satisfactory printer for families with meager printing requirements. The 4800 x 1200 DPI print resolution and 7.66 dE color accuracy deliver detailed photo prints that are visually pleasing.
Reason to Avoid
No scanner
This printer’s portability comes at the cost of scanning and copying functionality.
Steep running costs
The TR150 isn’t economical for printing often because its high running cost of 8.1 cents per page ranks among the most expensive in our verified, tested list.
Its low page yield (179 black and 194 color) doesn’t improve the poor cost efficiency.
Slow printing speeds
The 7.75 PPM black-only and 3.275 PPM color printing speeds are among the slowest in our certified, tested roster. This printer isn’t recommended for busy work settings.

The Canon PIXMA TR150 costs 1/3rd of the Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-300, but they both serve different purposes. While the TR150 is a mobile printer suitable for families and students with minimal printing needs, the imagePROGRAF PRO-300 is a professional photo printer that produces high-quality, color-accurate photo prints. The TR150 prints faster but has double the imagePROGRAF PRO-300’s running costs. To learn more, read our Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-300 review.

The Canon PIXMA TR150 is a mobile printer with only print functionality, but the stationary Canon PIXMA TR8620A can print, scan, copy, and fax. The TR8620A is a better choice overall for families and home offices because of its lower purchase price and running costs, higher print speeds and page yield, and more accurate color reproduction. For an in-depth assessment, check this Canon PIXMA TR8620A review.

The Canon PIXMA TR150 is 50% cheaper than the HP OfficeJet 250 but lacks the latter’s scan and copy features. Although the stationary OfficeJet 250 has swifter printing speeds, the mobile TR150 has a higher page yield, greater color accuracy, and lower running costs. Still, the OfficeJet 250 is preferable for families and offices with minimal printing requirements. For more information, read this HP OfficeJet 250 review. And for enhanced scanning convenience, consider trying the best scanner pen.
