Advantages: Easy to use Disadvantages: A bit noisy
The Canon BJC3000 is the ideal printer for domestic use because of its size, ease of use and most importantly has separate colour cartridges. Oh yes! The price comes into the equation as well.
In addition to the manual there is a large colour printed card that shows in detail how to install the cartridges. In fact apart from getting some details for this review I haven't even opened the manual yet. But curiosity got the better of me and I eventually ... ...a problem for over three months. Clear and full of useful information is the only way to describe it.
Where you place the printer is a matter for the user but in general if you were to sit in the place that you intend to allocate for the printer and are comfortable, then so will the printer. Would you be comfortable sat next to a radiator each and every day or in bright sunlight through a window or in a draughty and damp room? If you wouldn’t ...

Advantages: 4 Color printing, fast enough, good installation Disadvantages: Seems to be a sibling of the 6100
...as the BJC-6100, but even Canon concede that the 6100 will produce detectably superior photo results.
Noise is an area in which the BJC-3000 scores well. Although it tends to wake up and run a head cleaning cycle unexpectedly every now and again, it is not too annoying to listen to in use. The printer is also relatively compact and easy on the eye.
Installation wasn't trouble free. In the installation documentation there is a warning that the Windows ... ...happened with us. An experienced Windows 98 user would be able to fix the problem very quickly and the warning document had clear advice how to fix the problem. However, the user shouldn't really be allowed to get into trouble in the first place.
Having already used a BJC-6100, it's difficult to judge the BJC-3000 generously. The 6100 is a very fine all-round printer. The BJC-3000 simply looks like a cut-down economy model. That said, for users ...

Advantages: Very Easy To Use, Small, quick enough for my home use Disadvantages: Little Noisy,
...My friend has the Canon BJC-2100, and he also says that it prints well. In my Opinion the BJC-3000 is the upgrade from the BJC-2100 because they have the same shape and size.
**********************************************************
The Noise:
Well what can i say, its quite noisy but for a middle of the range printer you cant have a really quite printer, baring in mind this printer is now 3 years old, so it is not half bad.
********************************************************
... ...this printer is still a good printer in my opinion. I will not be swapping this until it breaks or the cartridges stop becoming made.
********************************************************
To Sum off This Review:
If you can buy this printer now if its still available go for it, you will definitely be happy. I do not see the point in spending lots of money on a printer when a cheaper one will do the same sort of job. For home use this is a good ...

Advantages: Separate colour cartridges mean less waste of ink Disadvantages: Extremely noisy!
I bought this Canon printer nearly four years ago. I liked that it was simple to use (only two buttons on the front - one to turn it on and off, the other for everything else!).
I also liked that you could change the colour cartridges individually, rather than chucking away a whole load of yellow and magenta ink, simply because the cyan had run out (hands up those of you who are impressed because I didn't say red and blue. None? OK, I'll try harder ... ...said, I would buy a Canon again and I have recommended this 'separate inks' colour printer to friends and family and they're all very happy with it. They can't believe they used to throw away so much colour ink before! The Canon S630 is a very similar style but much quieter and trendier - silver and dark grey instead of beige. ...
