Give this one a miss
Review of Canon BJC 1000 by C.Laslett

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Expensive to run

I bought this printer as it was one of the cheaper models on the market(about £55), and being a student, that was quite appealing. However, the money you save initially is soon spent on buying expensive cartridges. The Canon's own make are very overpriced (about £20-£25), and few, if any, of the cheaper companies (e.g WHSmith's own make) produce cartridges for this model. The printer itself is fairly slow and will only take one cartridge at a time, ... Read review

GO FOR A MORE EXPENSIVE MODEL
Review of Canon BJC 1000 by BAILEY

Advantages: CHEAP, SMALL
Disadvantages: ONLY GOOD FOR LIGHT USE

I bought the Canon because it was cheap (yep, let's be honest. here, I'm a penny-pincher!). I got it for £30 with my PC package (which was NOT cheap!), from Currys. I am impressed with the fact that this printer is quite small, and so can go just about anywhere. It is also quite light, making it easy to move it around. It can be quite loud, but you get used to it after a while. It is quite slow if you are printing anything in fine print, and ... Read review

Pretty Good For The Price
Review of Canon BJC 1000 by gpugh

Advantages: Cheap start-up price.
Disadvantages: Expensive cartridges and only one cartridge at a time.

...is the second of two canon printers that I have owned and on the whole I have found it to be good. I will admit that when I purchased it I was only attracted to it because of its price. It was very cheap when compared to the other brands that were available at the time (it cost about £60 from Dixons about two years ago). However after getting it home and setting it up it struck me that there were several other benefits to it. Compared to a lot ... Read review

A Good Cheap Printer For Light Usage
Review of Canon BJC 1000 by wampyrii

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

I bought a Canon BJC-1000 printer when on a tight budget and was pleasantly surprised by its performance. The Canon BJC-1000 is a very good budget printer, offering a print quality which will be more than good enough for the average home user. It is easy to setup under Windows 98, simply a case of running the CD and I have never had a problem with paper jams or such like. One of its major weaknesses is however, its speed. Printing a large document ... Read review

Size is not important
Review of Canon BJC 1000 by john.sw

Advantages: Cheap to buy, reasonable running costs
Disadvantages: For the home user/students

...from the floor! The Canon BJC 1000 will also print on envelopes, transparencies, greeting cards, plain paper, glossy paper, iron-on transfers, photo paper, high-gloss film, fabric, glossy photo paper and glossy photo greeting cards. She has never had a paper jam yet! Print quality - Max Resolution B&W 720 x 360 dpi - 360 x 360 dpi colour - is good for such a cheap printer, and although at up to 4 pages a minute in Black, printing speed is slow ... Read review

cheap printer
Review of Canon BJC 1000 by diceman

Advantages: Price
Disadvantages: slow

I recently bought the Canon BJC 1000 after I was attracted by its cheap price. I only needed a printer for my university course and the cheaper the better as far as I was concerned. At just fifty pounds I am extremely happy with my purchase, the print quality is excellent both in black and white and colour. The printing speed is a little slow, four or five pages a minute in black and white around two in colour but hey who is in a rush. If your strapped ... Read review

CANON BJC 1000 - 7 YEARS OF SUCCESS
Review of Canon BJC 1000 by jata

Advantages: VERY REALIABLE
Disadvantages: SLOW SPEED IN "OPTIMAL" QUALITY SETTING

Albeit I speak Spanish, I´ll write on English. One word: FIDELITY. I´ve got brand new from 2001 and it´s slow but works excellent. Never papar jams, flips, flops or so. I lost the CD and found drivers on 32.186.415 sites on the Net. No power, online/offline buttons con confuse. And also, the program included tells me EVERYTHING that happens. I´m so used to it´s sound that i think´s music. Also, comparing the cost with Epson catridge, it ... Read review

Cheap not cheerful
Review of Canon BJC 1000 by OZZIE

Advantages: Cheap or 'free'
Disadvantages: Cost of replacement ink cartridges

This budget printer is cheap because it is usually supplied 'free' in a new PC package. Whilst the performace and print quality are OK, the problems become apparent when printing text. This printer has only one ink cartridge containing three colours(no black). To print black the printer uses a mixture of the three colours, resulting dark brown. As a result the cartridge runs out pretty quick and at around £25 is very costly. Bearing in mind the printer ... Read review

Review of Canon BJC 1000 by jolal999

Advantages: cheap
Disadvantages: slow and not very good

If you are looking for a cheap printer which does its job with a little quality then this is it. I think this kind of printer is more suited to the average home user rather than a pressional company. Setup is very easy and it is very reliable. However, it may be a relatively decent printer the one main disadvatage is that it is as slow as a tortoise, it takes ages and of course these dyas time is important. Another problem is that it uses a lot of ... Read review

Review of Canon BJC 1000 by zef

Advantages: quiet
Disadvantages: cartrage price

the cannon inkjet printer or bubble jet as they like to call them is the basic printer which is included in the bundle when you buy a new PC which is infact where we got ours. So if the likes of packard bell think enough of it to give it to their valued customers well.... This printer copes well enough with black and white text and black and white cartridge came with it colour wise things seem a bit jaded and washed out to me after the colour cartridge ...

TOP BUDGET PRINTER!
Review of Canon BJC 1000 by merkus77

Advantages: Cheap and effective
Disadvantages: Low resolution and slow pace

...hard earned cash on the Canon BJC - 1000. It was the best choice I've ever made and to me, a £60 very well spent. I would seriously recommend this to anyone considering a new or seperate colour printer, Resolution is average and print speed is average for an inkjet but it is an alltogether good work horse. On the subject of ink replacement, it costs a mere £5 for the black cartridge and £15 for the tri-colour one - the drawback is that you have to ... Read review

Review of Canon BJC 1000 by ShaunK

Advantages: Cheap, small
Disadvantages: Print quality not laser standard

The price of this printer is the thing that immediately grabs the attention since you can get hold of one for not much more that fifty pounds. Don't let that put you off though, since the print quality in both colour and black (you need to change cartridges for this) is more than adequate for most purposes. "Black" print when using the colour cartridge tends to be a little blue in colour, although this is the case with many colour printers. The BJC-1000 ... Read review
