Comments:

I recommend getting the Bluetooth with this printer. It's faster than IR and does not require you keep the Pocket PC aligned with the printer's IR port. This is a larger printer than some of the other printers, but has high quality output, and will print your color logo quite nicely.

Comments:

This test was done with the PocketJet II and 200 printers using an Infrared connection. The Pentax 3 series not comes with available Bluetooth which I recommend. The PocketJet 200 and 3 Plus units have 300 Dots Per Inch (dpi) as opposed to the 200 dpi. For printing invoices the 200 dpi is plenty. Of these printers I would recommend the PocketJet 3 with Bluetooth, and a automobile mounting kit.

I like this printer if you work from an automoible or truck and you don't mind printing on thermal paper. You can purchase an optional automobile mounting kit that holds the paper roll and printer and mounts to a console or dash. This allows you to print without having to fiddle with sheets of paper. There is new model out that uses Bluetooth that I haven't tried yet, but it should print faster and remove the requirement of having to align your PDA with the printer's IR port dongle.
