Good basic printer
Review of Canon i 250 by
shil1138
Advantages: Inexpensive and easy to use
Disadvantages: Slow
...text per cartridge. The Canon replacements are a bit expensive but luckily I was able to find compatibles for around one pound per cartridge over the internet and these work fine. Another minor issue is that the paper sometimes gets stuck in the printer, either because it is not lined up properly or not ejected properly and the printer sucks it back in, but this only seem to happen in you are printing lots of pages. ...

Canon Can Do It!
Review of Canon i 560 by
woof45
Advantages: Brilliant Prints, Individual Cartridges, Good Tech.Support
Disadvantages: Sometimes hard to find cartridges
...It has a connection for Canon cameras that have the some connection.
USB connection
Power lead.
Individual cartridges.
The best thing I've found about it is that I don't have to fork out over £20 for a cartridge at a time, instead the choice that having individual cartridges means that I pay around £9 a time for colour and £11 for black.
The print quality is fantastic and its easy to choose which settings you need.
It also has the ability in ... ...much more.
The only problem I have ever found is that sometimes it can be hard to find the cartridges, this was a particular problem when I first got it but now its a little older its easier.
The print quality is amazing, I was so impressed, the tech support is great too. There are drivers to download for free on the internet which helps a great deal, especially if you use it for one or more computers and/or lose the CD with the drivers on.
When ...

Review of Canon i 550 by
dhillcrest
Advantages: Very reliable and pretty cheap to run
Disadvantages: Err.............You'd bet better nowadays for the price we paid
...as well. Thank you magical Canon ink fairy.
Set-up is easy-peasy. insert the disk and the software literally talks you through it. Which I think is a dodgy use of the word *literally* as it didn't actually speak. That would be scary. Anyway, the whole process was 5 mins fro start to test page printing.
Print quality - is good. Now were a school so to be honest it isn't the most important factor. rarely do we have a 5 year-old criticising us for ... ...ones anyway. But, at the time it was the best Id seen from a *school* printer and I still think it passes muster today. You will get better - but you probably wont notice all that much unless you get really close. and thats a wierd thing to do.
Ink - lasts!!!!!!!! We are a poor poor government institution. Nor far off
being the poorhouse. we need printers that will print for ever. where that magical ink fairy gone now? and this one does pretty ...

A printer good for home use
Review of Canon PIXMA IP2500 by
Sweetpea1075
Advantages: Inexpensive, Nice design, modern looking, OK for everyday use
Disadvantages: Noisy, takes ages to start up, goes through ink quickly
...had broken. I have a Canon camera and know that Canon is a good well know brand. It also looks nice and modern and has a nice shiny black finish.
For the jobs that I want it to do at the moment, it performs well, although I am hoping to print out some large photo prints in the near future, so will be upgrading. For standard photos and written documents, it does the job nicely, although some of the colours on the photos did not come out the same ... ...the printer itself, as my PC may not be set up correctly.
The disadvantage is the amount of ink it uses. I have never used so much over the last few months,especially if you are printing out photos - it is not a cheap option. Much cheaper to get them done at processing lab or online. The ink is not cheap for this printer either, compared with other similar printers. Although I have found that even when it says it is empty, there is still actually ...

A good printer with added "bits"
Review of Epson Stylus Photo R300 by
Carrotts73
Advantages: good print quality, cheap copy cartridges, stand alone if needed
Disadvantages: none really
The Epson R300 is a good low cost Photo Printer. It has lots of useful features, for instance you can print direct from a camera, or pop a memory card into the reader on the front. If you're connected to a PC then it can use the memory card reader as well. It is also possible to attach a Bluetooth module and print direct from a camera phone, but I've not tried this. You can buy a colour LCD for it so that you can preview pictures before you print ... ...and it can knock 6x4 prints out in a minute or so. It also has the capability of printing direct onto white coated CD/DVDs if you want to make your Disks look smart!
I get my ink from eBay, and this does not seem to massively affect the quality of printouts but is much cheaper. The set up is very straightforward.
The printer has a little LCD screen that gives out status messages and other information, so it is worth remembering this before you ...
