Customer Reviews:

Buy an Epson [Posted on 2005-08-28]
Bought mine in Nov.'04 - worked great until the print head went out in April'05. Now it's August only 4 months later and the print head as once again gone kaput. $80 bucks in 4 months, what a piece of crap. I do not recommend this printer to anyone, in fact I wish I had bought another Epson! Anyone with a limited income should steer clear of this shoddy printer.

Good for a few years.................. [Posted on 2005-10-13]
I liked the printing quality of this inexpensive printer, and the price of the ink for it can't be beat. However, this model printer seems to have some trouble after about a year and a half on average; it refuses to print in black. I'm a college student, black ink is a necessity. At this point, I don't know if a new head will work out, though it does print color ink. I'm actually trying to find some user reviews now to let me know if replacing the print head will work. Pity--I have tons of cartridges from 123 inkjets for it. I knew it probably wouldn't last long, considering the price, and I did get a refurbished one--not off this site. I paid around 60.00 including shipping and handling for it almost 2 years ago. Didn't expect it to putter out this soon, though. And, just in time for mid-term papers. Yaaay! Now, I have to find another canon model that takes the same ink cartridge.

Lifetime: 1 Year [Posted on 2006-02-24]
I really liked this printer while it lasted. It printed color beautifully, though I never did get a chance to test its photo printouts. I print occasionally. Maybe 10-20 pages/week. Unfortunately, after a year, the print head broke on its own. If they had a longer lasting printer similar to this, I would definitely get it.

No problems for 5 years. [Posted on 2008-04-19]
It finally gave up after 5 years. It stopped feeding paper from the paper tray. I liked the cheap ink refills. I'll look for another Cannon that uses the same ink. BCI 24. BTW, I have a family of four and only one computer. This printer has been used a lot!

5 years later and still performing great! [Posted on 2008-08-20]
Got this printer for my birthday in July 2003.
Five years later and it's still chuggin' along as well as it ever did.

Cheap and easy to find ink tanks, when it thinks it's dirty it does a self-maintenance cleanup. Photo quality is great, I mean right to the edge of the photo paper if you ask that of it.

I've been through a lot of printers before this one, Fujitsu DL3600 (89-98), HP-712C (97-99), Canon BJC-1000, BJC-2000, BJC-2100 and in 2002 a Canon i320 (which gave up after only a few months). Kinda glad it did because...
Frustration set in big time but I was soon rewarded with a "good" printer, the one I still have today (August 2008).

The Canon i450

If you see one nowadays that's cheap and in good working order somewhere, snap it up. You won't be disappointed.
