Canon Laser Shot LBP 2900

Advantages: Cheap, Reliable and produces high quality prints
Disadvantages: The odd paper jam

...Whilst talking to a friend a few months back, I mentioned I needed to buy a new printer as my old one had ceased working. My friend recommended the Canon Laser Shot LBP 2900 Printer, As that is what he had been using and said it was reasonably cheap to buy and did a good job. So the next day I went onto Amazon, Paid my £54.50 and waited for it to arrive. Upon its arrival, I promptly went about setting it up, Now I was impressed it was small and compact and looked stylish with its monochrome finish. For £54.50 for a reliable laser printer I thought great and thanked my friend for his recommendation. However, There was one minor problem, Now and then the paper gets jammed, This has happened with every printer I have ever used at sometime though, So I don't really see it as a big deal. The LBP 2900 produces high quality...

ZAP! - Canon's LBP 1120

Advantages: Prints whole sheets in just seconds. Looks very modern and sleek. Little noise.
Disadvantages: None whatsoever.

...I recently got the chance to purchase a new printer for a friend of mine, he, having no internet access and wary of overpriced shops asked me to go online and find him a decent printer for under 150 pounds. Having only bought two printers prior to getting the Canon LBP 1120 I wasn't entirely sure where to start, to combat my uncertainty I decided to shop around, seeking the finest price possible. In the end my search brought me back to my usual shop for components, www.ebuyer.com. After around ten minutes browsing their printer section I came across the LBP 1120 Laser printer. Canon in general have always served me well, being one of the only firms to charge a fair price for ink cartridges, my first printer, an Epson I found I had to shell out 20 quid just for a cartridge! Such perks as a claimed ten pages a minute, plus some sort...

Canon Fire Off A Good Printer

Advantages: Quiet, easy to use, reliable
Disadvantages: None

...Now for a long time I have been a committed Hewlett Packard man when it comes to printers. The one provided by my employer as my printer for working from home is a HP Office Jet and I have no problems with it. My old home computer printer was a HP too, a 640C. However as you can read in my review of that whilst it was good, well made and reliable it was not fast enough. Of course like most things connected with (and to) computers new and better products are launched all the time. I now have a Canon S800 and I bought it mainly to indulge in my new passion of digital photography. The Canon is a little bigger than the HP was. It is about the same width but a little deeper and higher. It is finished in a high quality two tone effect which looks quite attractive. Overall the printer appears to be more solid than the HP did but the HP was...

Review of Canon LBP 800

Excellent Printer From Canon

Advantages: Excellent Print Quality, Fast Printing, Reasonable Price
Disadvantages: None

...My printer had been playing up for a couple of months, I normally (99% of the time) only use it for printing in black for invoices, however I do occasionally print something off in colour and sometimes print a photo. It was missing one of the colours out now and again and so I decided it was time for a new one. Why Canon? My old printer was a Canon and although it was playing up it had served me well for about three years of constant use. I also think the design of the Canon printers is very good, I think they are far better to look at than most other makes and this is quite important when you are going to be looking at it everyday, sat on your desk. Another reason is the fact that the ink cartridges are much more affordable than some other makes, I once had a Hewlet Packard printer and required a second mortgage everytime they...

Review of Canon PIXMA iP4600

The Laser Printer that speaks

Advantages: easy to set up and run. Uses PC's own memory
Disadvantages: toner cartridges may be tricky to find

...I was somewhat startled when I first heard my printer talk to me. She had a cultured English accent and regaled me with phrases like "add paper to printer", "printing started", "printing complete". Or even "printer not responding" when I tried to print and had forgotten to switch the LBP-800 on. I found her quite comforting, though you may not agree, as I could see no way in the software to shut her up. It was the PC doing the actual talking, of course. You need a sound card and be attached to speakers. If you prefer, the CD ROM has drivers for various alternative languages including French, German, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Spanish. I'd had an HP LaserJet 6L before, and found the Canon to gave noticeably lighter output by comparison. Print speed is also much faster than the 6L, but since the Canon uses the PC's own memory and I...

Canon MP 460 printer

Advantages: cheap
Disadvantages: poor photo prints

...to print over 50 different photos. All of them were left looking like everyone had freckels and skin tones were next to useless. Definatly not ones you want to show anyone. Even when put through a cleaning cycle there was no difference. On the bright side, when you printed text using only black ink it was crisp and very clear right down to no 8 font size. Apart from the nice looking screen area it has nothing to excite me. After using the machine for a week I have took it back to the shop, why, because of the banding, lack of colour depth and a sqeek on the slide rail when the cartridges are going across. So not really impressed with this one. I would stay clear and pay more for a good printer. Canon has failed on this one I think....

Review of Canon Pixma MP460

Canon PIXMA Ip3600 (Printer)

Advantages: Easy to use, affordable and fast
Disadvantages: No disadvantages were noticed

...I use the printer at work for various projects and it is superb. The color quality is excellent. It prints pictures and photos better than any printer I have used. The printing speed is fast and high quality. The printer is easy to use and easy to order supplies for. It is very reliable, I hardly have any paper jams with it and when I do it is very easily fixed. In the past I have used printers where when the toner runs out it is difficult to replace or order the correct replacement but not with this printer. Replacing items is extremely easy. This printer is a great value for the money considering the toners etc are not expensive as with a lot of other photo printers etc. I would recommend this printer to anyone....

Canon Quality

Advantages: Same Canon quality we have come to expect, great ISO capabilities.
Disadvantages: Buttons can get fiddly in the cold.

... Canon 500D Introduction Canons range of cameras is very impressive. Everyone can be accommodated for, there really is something for everyone. Camera Itself First off, the camera. The sensor on this model has a larger pixel count than many of its rivals and cheaper models in the range. The 15.1 megapixels on offer is more than enough for the market it is aimed at, these images will easily be blown up above A3 and still retain most of the detail. The new addition to this camera that sets it apart from the older models is the Full 1080p movies. Many photographers don?t like this new mode but if you don?t, then simply don?t use it. Having the functionality of a high quality video camera on family holidays and such will be welcomed by the enthusiast market at which this is aimed toward. One problem I found...

Canon MP610 multifunction printer

Advantages: No seperate scanner unit. Seperate ink cartridges.
Disadvantages: you have buy your own bluetooth dongle.

...the ink cartridges. You could say the lid is in two parts. The first one is for the scanner, then the next part is to see inside the unit where the ink goes. With a lot of Canon printers, you have to fit a Printhead first. With the MP610 its no different. When you open the lid the printhead holder moves into the middle. The printhead fits in easily and locks down with a firm clunk of a little leaver. This cartridge is marked with the colours of the ink. They are easily fitted in and lock into place with a little plastic tag on the front of the cartridge. Thats that as far as they are concerned. Next you need to align the printer cartridges up. Canon supply you with the paper to do this. You can use either the screen on the printer to set it away or the onscreen menu on the computer. Either way the outcome is the same. It took approx...

Review of Canon MP610

Canon MP620 All in one Printer

Advantages: Excellent Phot prints, excellent scanning, wireless capability
Disadvantages: Slightly bulky, wireless can be tricky to set up

...I bought this printer a few months ago to replace an old hp all in one which had lasted for a long time and sadly the print quality had diminished. With a large amount of options on the market I shopped around and came across the Canon MP620. It seemed to have all the features I was after including scanning, printing, card reader, photocopyer and wireless networking. Please note there are 2 other similar models in the range and as far as I know the MP610 is older and not wireless but slightly cheaper. Alternatively the MP630, which is more expensive is also not wireless but is faster in producing more prints per minute. So far, since using it I can report that the MP620 is an excellent all round printer. Great quality prints and excellent scanning makes it perfect for my needs. The wireless networking took a little time to setup...
