With the bevy of compact laptops and smart phones currently available, it may seem that the business traveler now has everything that they need to maintain productivity while on the go. However, one area which is still advancing is printing, and it will be interesting to see future developments in creating fresh documents in transit.

The latest mobile portable printers come in two varieties:

1. The more traditional models have simply been shrunk down from their desktop counterparts and still require ink cartridges or toners. These weigh around 4 to 5 pounds and will fit into your carry-on luggage.
   
2. For those looking for something lighter, there are even smaller models which do away with the messiness of ink. These mobile printers weigh less than 2 pounds and rely on thermal technology to create monochrome prints on special paper.

When deciding which type to purchase, it is essential to factor in your budget, the future purpose of the printer, and the required size. Thermal printers are more expensive than the traditional cartridge models and can only print in black and white. They make up for this with their miniature size, but if you require color documents while on the move, cartridge or toner models of portable printers will suit you more.

Known as the Harbour City, Sydney, on the east coast of Australia, has plenty to see and do. Nature lovers, cultural enthusiasts, sporting fanatics, history buffs and party animals will all be entertained by what this fascinating city has to offer…

The harbor itself is a great reason to visit as it offers a superb backdrop to other sights such as the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House. Across the waters from these landmarks, lies Taronga Zoo, one of the most diverse zoos in the southern hemisphere.

The city also has an extensive public transport network, so that visitors can just hop on a bus or train and explore the area. This includes traveling out to more distant places such as the Blue Mountains or Royal National Park on the edges of the city. Speaking of nature, no travel article about Sydney would be complete without mentioning its stunning beaches.

Getting to Sydney is a snap, too, with it being one of the largest international hubs in the region. With 39 airlines flying in daily, it is possible to get there from almost every major city worldwide. It definitely makes for a convenient destination, which contains something for everyone.
