Even thou the cost of 850 is higher than most other printers you will get out standing prints after prints.

The canon 850 uses the latest technology created by canon Microfine droplet technology that alows for a print resolution of 4,800 x 1,200 dpi ( dots per inch) The ink is in 4 cartridges and this makes more sense and cheaper to run then having to buy the tri colour cartridges which only one colour tends to run out on. So you can buy the colour you need and means that it is more enviromently friendly as we know that is one of the issues in today living.

I am very impressed with the speed that it prints pages and especialy photographs. I have not been able to get the speeds that canon have said it is capable but it still is faster than other printers I have used. The machine is quick and almost noiseless.

The conection to the pc. You have the choice of USB2 and Parallel. I would use it on the USB as it does make it faster but not by much.

It also comes crammed packed with lots of software for you to improve your photos and general prints. The printer gives you more control of how you print and use it.

I do find that on lower resolutions it does tend to band and even fades so light that you cant read the text. But on the higher resolutions you get crisp sharpe text. So much so it jumps out at you.

Overall I would recomend as the print cartridges alone makes it more ecominical
