Review of Canon S 520 by whitbybunny

Advantages: Beautiful colours, easy to install, no paper jams (touch wood), cheap ink cartridges
Disadvantages: Noisy, Noisy, Noisy!!

...was going to buy a Canon S520 Bubble Jet Printer. I chose to go to Staples Corner, London where I had both PC World and Staples to browse around. The printer cost me £149.98 from Staples although I am aware that it can be purchased from buy.com for $141.95. It measures 17 inches in width by 18 inches in depth from the back of the unit to the end of the paper catcher. Colouring is grey / blue and quite modern looking. What platform does ... Read review

Good,reliable printer
Review of Canon S 520 by lesparker

Advantages: good speed
Disadvantages: paper tray system

The S520 is a really high performance colour printer that runs at really fast speed. This is achieved by a bi-directional colour printing process. This means that the printing is done in both directions when the print head is moving. It prints at 14ppm for monochrome and 9ppm for colour. You can print on to all types of media but it really comes into its own when using good quality colour paper. The S520 allows true borderless printing, making ... Read review

All I know about S520
Review of Canon S 520 by alcap0ne

Advantages: Seperated colour ink tanks
Disadvantages: Large Size

This printer is good, I use this printer to print my photos on photo papers. The quality of the colour is fairly good. One good thing about this printer is that the colour inks are seperated eg, a seperate tank for blue, yellor and red by having seperated ink tanks, if next time it ran out of blue colour ink colour, all we need to do is just replace blue colour ink, rather than replace all (in some printers, three different colour inks are combined ...
