The Canon i250 Color Bubble Jet Printer delivers crisp text, no-hassle printing and high-quality photos from the Web - all at an exceptional value. It achieves up to 12 ppm in...

Canon's advanced MicroFine Droplet Technology uses a revolutionary nozzle system that ejects microscopic, prescribed-volume droplets with remarkable accuracy for smoother, virtually grain-free images. The i250 printer's stylish, compact design fits nicely into any home office or work area, especially if space is limited. The i250 printer offers excellent performance in a compact design. Your printed letters, reports and e-mails will look sharp and bold, with text that is well defined and black, not muddy or gray, because of the pigment-based black ink. Let's talk speed: its approximately 5-second-per-page monochrome text speed is incredibly fast and you can produce a quality color photo of family or friends in just minutes. The i250 printer is faster and more convenient than a trip to the local photo mini-lab. The i250 printer includes Canon exclusive Easy-PhotoPrint software that makes it simple to more faithfully reproduce digitally captured colors. Printer driver settings are automatically adjusted for the paper type selected to optimize print quality. Print quality of digital images is improved by reducing "Photo Noise" and boosting color saturation with "Vivid Photo" driver enhancements. To eliminate the hassles of web printing Canon developed Easy-WebPrint software. Easy-WebPrint is a toolbar for Microsoft Internet Explorer that automatically scales web pages to fit the width of the paper. Web pages that might otherwise print with the right edge clipped off will now fit on your printed page. Background colors on web pages can be easily printed and multiple pages can be formatted to print on a single multi-column page. Whether printing text, web pages or photos you'll get phenomenal results right from the start.

Full review
This is my very first home printer. Previously I have only used large laser printers at work, so was a bit unsure about which printer to buy for home use.
I wanted something cheap, but not tacky.
I wanted something mainly for text printing but capable of pictures etx for my daugther's homework.
I aslo wanted to be able to print photos if necessary.

So many "wants" but they have all been met by this superb little printer from Canon. I bought mine from ebuyer.co.uk and paid about £35 plus delivery. I also bought some of their recommended "non-canon" ink refils for about £2 each.

From the very first page I have not ceased to be impressed for how much printer I have got for so little money.

The only drawback is the lack of output tray, which does mean that on my cluttered desk the printed sheets have to be "rescued" before they get sucked back into the printer.
Having said that it is a very minor point.

Overall a very good buy. I intended to get a cheap printer now, then upgrade later to a more expensive one, but I am seriously thinking about saving my money and sticking with the Canon i250
