    pushing the envelope?

    I wonder if this would be over the top but what do you think about an in car printer? too much huh? Maybe a photo printer so you dont have to wait to get home to print out pictures from your digital cam. Where would you put it (maybe in place of the cassette player (which I dont have installed)?

    It's been done. In fact, printers in cars were something I saw back in the 1980s, especially for people like real estate brokers that would print out stuff from their luggable while at the site.

    I wonder if a photo printer in a car would work... the main problem I see is heat. Would the high temp that parked cars get to translate into dried out ink?

    add a fan to cool the ink down haha. Depending on the photo printer the ink can handle temperatures from 50-95 F. I did a google search under "photo ink temperature"

    Imagine what would happen if the cartriage exploded The easiest solution that I see is getting one of those cannon bubblejet printers made for laptops. Very small and easy to hide somewere

    I have a BJ-30 going in the car.

    Don't forget the police have printers in their cars for tickets etc. Microbus sell them.

    I've had a BJ going in the car quite a few times, but I have to say it's overrated.
