Advantages: Excellent text
Disadvantages: No letter tray!

...on my previous experience of Canon printers - I opted for a Pixima with FINE technology. I already have a very good photo printer in the shape of the Epson R800, and an Epson 830U which I use for rough drafts as it is on it's last legs. Fact is, I needed a printer to print decent quality letters and the odd mixed text and image sheet. I previously used an old Canon S520 but it finally gave up the ghost, and I have to say the i1800 - at about a quarter ...
...capable machine. It prints in various modes (high, standard, draft and custom) and in high quality mode, the text is as good as any printer I've seen. It's not fast though, so if you print a lot of text you may want to look at a laser. Printing tecxt over colour (a sample web page) was not so hot, but I don't really care! Photo printing is acceptable, though I didn't buy it for that purpose and only printed one quick pic to get an idea. I imagine ... Read review

Advantages: great looking printouts, very attractive design, quick prints, low prices
Disadvantages: does not include a paper output tray

...most PC workstations. The Canon iP2500 does not include a paper output tray, some users may find this a nuisance as they will need to catch their prints as the printjob finishes to prevent them falling onto the floor/desk. Connects to the PC via USB interface, is compatible with Windows/Mac. This printer comes with a Creative CD and a pack of matte paper (quite a few sheets in the pack). For the price I have seen this for, it's definitely worth ... Read review

Advantages: Excellent print quality
Disadvantages: slightly flimsy

I had been relying on an old black and white printer for far too long. My girlfriend spotted this one and bought it and after hearing good things from her I purchased it from PC World for £69.99. ----Style---- I actually think the printer is quite good looking. It has a smoked perspex front which opens outwards to allow access to the two ink cartridges and the printer head and the paper adjustment lever. Unfortunately it still follows the rather ...
...all its not bad looking and perhaps most importantly it looks and feels solid and well built. Only two buttons are on the printer itself these are the power and cancel button situated on the top just behind the smoked perspex cover. The only problems with the design are the output and input tray which are particulary flimsy and make the printer rather larger once attached. Due to the limited space I have for this printer I don't bother with the output ... Read review

Advantages: Photo quality is amazing and it is very speedy
Disadvantages: LCD screen could do with being a slight bit bigger

...my printer at home my Epson c66 broke and so i happily took this one back from work. The machine takes 6 cartridges black, magenta, cyan , yellow, light cyan and light magenta. The 'light' cartridges are what give the photos that extra quality compared to using just the 4 usual ones. The cartridges are also not very expensive compared to that of Lexmark and HP and although there are 6 you use less magenta and cyan than usual as they are coming from ...
...appropriate paper, i recommend the epson premium glossy photo paper which you can get in A4 or 4 x 6. The machine also has a tray you can insert so you can print directly on to CD's and DVD's which is extremely handy. You have to buy particular CD's and DVD's whci hare printable but this are not really any expensive than normal ones. I will warn you though that in my experience they take about 12 hours to dry which is fine if you dont need to do ... Read review

Advantages: Simple and easy to use, comes with full instructions, Works great!, Great quality
Disadvantages: Can't think of any disadvantages at the moment!!

This is my second ever printer. The Printer before this one was about 5-6years old so when i got this new one it was like entering a new world. The draft setting is amazing. The printer literally prints so quickly that the paper gets spat out! I found this amazing! From the old one to this one there is a huge step! I have also recently got a camcorder with an SD card. I used to have to plug in the camera and the computer had to go though all the ...
...camcorder. But now i have an SD card reader included in the Printer! It also has: XD reader, MS/DUO reader, CF reader and MMC reader! Using the SD card reader means that i can open up my videos and pictures so much more quickly. There was one problem. When we got it there was no lead which connects it to the computer. I dont know if it was a mistake but it was very anoying. But i luckily found a cable and it was very easy to set it up with the ... Read review
