Great printer, but I don't understand the price. [Posted on 2007-11-16]
When I bought this printer in 2003, It was a little over $100. I don't care what kind of software they may have added, but it's worth a little over $100. (The better software also comes with the Canon A560 and S3 cameras.)
As with most things Canon, this is a good piece of equipment. It doesn't use ink sparingly, and the cartridges are expensive, so the one thing I use the printer sparingly for is printing photos.
It's relatively fast. Print quality is excellent. Ink dries quickly. And if you are going to print photos, HP Premium Plus glossy photo paper "outshines" Canon's own. Ink dries faster on HP than on any other I've tried -- and that's a lot.
Excellent Printer!!! [Posted on 2007-12-24]
This is my second Canon printer that uses 4 small cartrides instead of two
costly big ones. Prints like a charm; easy to operate and to make sure it
runs forever (hopefully!) I ordered 3 extra Print Heads from the company.
Makes fine colored prints, quick action. I will ALWAYS hunt for a Canon
using four inexpensive cartridges, because you replace one cartridge at a
time as it runs out, at as little as $l.75+ each (off internet). So much
cheaper to operate than those machines that demand $$ big cartridges. I
would never even consider any other kind of printer, and definitely no
other manufacturer.
Great Printer [Posted on 2008-04-29]
Why review a 5 year old printer? Why not? If you have the chance to pick up one of these used in good condition go ahead and buy it. It prints good text documents and excellent photos. I've printed many photos as gifts for friends and family and the photos all came out great. Oh and ink for this printer is dirt cheap.
The only downfall is that this printer was made before non-fade ink formulations were common. So if you put photos printed from this printer in direct sunlight everyday, the photos will fade over time. Personally I've had little problem with this but you should be aware of that possiblitiy.
Exceptional value. [Posted on 2008-06-11]
I purchased this item on June 15 2004 for 85. After almost exactly four years the guy I sold it to called me to complain it wasn't working. I was totally expecting it would have to be replaced, but after cleaning the print head with a wet tissue and replacing and priming the ink cartridges, (the black was empty) the thing started printing as if it was a brand new printer.
I have never seen an inkjet double in price before. I wish I had bought one for myself back then.
Good printer for many years [Posted on 2008-10-12]
First of all, since when does a $100 printer become $230 5 years after is was released.
Ok, now the review. When I got this printer with my Dell Dimension in 2003 it was top of the line. It was my family printer until 2007 when I decided I needed a scanner printer combo with networking compatibility. While I was waiting for a good deal on such a printer this printer when crazy. First it printed in only purple, then blue, then blue and black. After going through $40 worth of Cyan ink cartridges I shoveled out money for a new printer.
All in all this was an excellent printer for many years but they're are now better things on the market.
I am now selling my old Canon i550 for a reasonable $25 dollars. If you can fix it please buy.
