The Canon i350 is a great printer; it is a brilliant all rounder for anyone really. It does quick black and white printing and nearly just as quick colour printing. Also on high mode it can almost be a great photo printer.

The Canon i350 has been sweeping stores recently as it has been a great discount all rounding printer, it can do everything you could need, and at a good price. It is a low consumer of energy, and can store a lot on its internal memory, so there is no slowing down your computer just to print something. It can also hold a lot of paper, and it’s ink cartridges are brilliantly cheap from a great website I found, (will be mentioned at the bottom). It is designed very well and is very solid, it is very simple to put together with a good clear instruction manual. It is white and silver and very simple, there are two buttons, on/off and paper/ink load. Overall this printer is great and is greatly built and designed.

The picture quality on this printer is pretty good considering its price, it is highly capable of printing photos from your digital camera or the internet at high quality, although if you really want the best quality you will have to wait a while as the print speed is highly sacrificed on high quality modes, saying that though the printer is still mighty fine with photos and other images. Overall, if you really want photo quality from your printer you’d have to go with something else, but for the average persons usage it is fine.

The printing speed is great for word black and white documents it is speedy and can be going at speeds of up to 16ppm, (pages per minute), although introduce colour to your work and the speed will be sacrificed, but only very slightly, it will still be able to go at some reasonable speed. But realistically printing photos is getting more and more popular, and this printer will print photos quickly, but if you’d like some high quality, ‘framable’ pictures, you’ll have to sacrifice a bit of time to print them. Overall though the printing speed is great, the i350 excels in this department, for nearly everything, so the speed is great, but for quality, not so dumbfounding.

This printer is great with colours, through my experience with it, it can produce bright colours that are great to look at and not dull like some other printers available. The colour cartridge is cheap making its availability great for potential buyers. Overall there is not too much to say about the colour sensitivity apart from that it is great, definitely a high point.

This printer, for me has been very reliable, it has been able to keep working for the whole time I’ve had it, it has never frozen or stopped working, brilliant. It starts printing promptly after you’ve asked it to, and it keeps on going without any long pauses in the printing, like some Epson printers. Overall the reliability is great; it probably will stay working for ages and ages. Definitely a great point and plus for the printer, probably a big factor to its great selling margins.

This printer is very easy to use, you simply put the main components together, (printer head, paper holder etc.), and then connect it to your computer, but, since this printer is relatively new, it isn’t recognised by earlier versions of windows XP/2000, unless you’ve updated you PC recently, so all you have to do is put in the easy software into the CD drive on your computer, and select how to install, ‘typical’ is fine, and then it puts it into your Printers folder, and updates your system, it also installs a folder into your start menu, simply containing a few tools, and the uninstall system. Overall it is very easy to use for any user, and should be ready to use very quickly, say 7-10minutes.

You can obviously guess this section, brilliant. The value for money on this printer is great. It costs less than 50 pounds, and you get a perfectly able printer, which is good looking, speedy, crisp, and cheap to run. Overall the value for money is brilliant.
