This was my first printer, which cost me around £300 in 1995. At the time it was one of the first printers for that price range that used colour and black cartridges simultaneously (instead or swapping between them)
It is relatively cheap to run, this is thanks to having the ink cartridges separate to the print head.
It was great for Printing text but was not relay designed for printing pictures, this capability came further down the range when photo realism was added to it.
Its colour cartridge was on the small size. This printer was really designed for people that required a mono printer but every now and then would print a colour page. If you required to print a lot of colour pages with high coverage then the cartridge wouldn’t last you long.
The printer had a small footprint so it didn’t take too much space on your desk (especially as the output tray folded in when not in use)
This printer is only available now in the second hand trade. If you decide to buy a second hand BJC4000 make sure you tested it. If the print head is not working then this will set you back about £30 and I think it is not worth touching it. Specially as you can buy a printer these days with better capabilities than the BJC4000 for about £45-£55.
I you find once on perfect condition then £10 would be the most I pay for it if it had some ink in its cartridges.
