Canon BJC 1000 InkJet Printer

Pros: Inexpensive Printer
Cons: Colors Are Not As Sharp As I Would Like

I just purchase this Canon Bubble Jet Printer from an auction site. The deal I got on it was so good I could not pass it up. I had ruined my Lexmark printer when I used ink refills in it.

The installation on this one was a breeze. I took it...

Pros: Compact and cheap, no paper jams, easy to use, prints on envelopes well, sturdy case
Cons: Slow, poor printout quality, expensive cartridges that don't last long

I bought the BJC-1000 about two years ago on the web for $60. At that time this price could have been considered a good deal. However, the best quality of this printer is its compact size.

After having used it for the last couple of...

Pros: hmmmm.... hold on, I'm thinking
Cons: I couldn't think of any PROS

I bought this printer about 6 months ago. I have hated it ever since. If not for fear of ending up on several readers' WODs, I truly hate it enough to type "I HATE THIS LOUSY PIECE OF CR*P" repeatedly until cramps set in.

1) For...

Pros: Good printing quality
Cons: Eats the Ink!

Get ready to purchase a multitude of ink cartridges if you buy this Canon printer. I have the Canon BJC-1010 Model of the Canon BJC-1000 series of printers and it absolutely eats up the ink cartridges as if they were gasoline for a 1970's...

Pros: price of printer
Cons: price of ink; general print-quality

Soon inkjet printers will be free with every second pair of socks. For the time being, this BJC-1000 costs you 50$.

The reason why those manufacturers sell them that cheap is that they get you in the ink. I find it really annoying that you...

Pros: Inexpensive, reliable, decent job for the money.
Cons: Slow printing, not quite photo-quality, color/black cartridges must be switched and stored.

I work from a home office. I have a great laser printer that I use for professional applications, and have had wonderful results in that respect. However, now my daughters are getting old enough to need the computer for school work, and they are...

Pros: Good price, Above average print quality.
Cons: Requires specific inks and only good quality papers.

I've tested and used many different Canon printers over the years and this one is my least favorite. It is a fair printer, yielding respectable color results and very good Black & White print in reasonable times. However, it doesn't have the quality...

Pros: Inexpensive, perfect for text printing
Cons: Limited picture printing quality

I have not had much luck with printers. Prior to purchasing this Canon, I owned a Hewlett Packard (junk) and an Epson (even worse). Both of those printers cost me over $200 each and used liquid ink cartridges. The print quality deteriorated steadily over...

Pros: Very cheap!
Cons: Read on.....

This Canon printer came bundled with my nephew’s Emachines computer. Emachines simply wanted to sweeten the deal by adding this printer. It’s not a powerhouse printer but they say that it gets the job done! (Yeah right!)

At first, we all...

Pros: Small, lightweight .... Low Cost
Cons: Not enough features for amount of money spent

Speaking on behalf of all people who are decent and care for their customers ... DON'T BUY THIS ... I've seen many a printing dream defer with the purchase of this printer ... Now, to discontinue any "bashing" I'll simply lay out the facts
...

Pros: value, quality, easy installation
Cons: cartridges

With Canon BJC-1000 you don't have to be a-know-everything type of person to set it up and use it daily, but you will use up many cartridges. Those cartridges cost from $15-$45, depending if it's b&w or it's color, but this little printer empties...

Pros: nonbad photoprint, low noise level
Cons: low quality colour prints, short cable

Design of this printer possible to name ultracompact - it practically does not occupy the place on the table. Pallet is situated behind, sheets are insert nearly vertically. For the best sheet support in the vertical position is provided by withdrawable...

Pros: cheap, easy to set up, easy to use, acceptable quality
Cons: having to leave it on continuously, slow printing

I went through the same experience as many of the reviewers. I only got about 19 pages out of my $40-$50 colour cartridge when the ink ran out. The problem is the electronic setup of the unit. As you know, the printer has no "on-off" switch....

Pros: came with free software
Cons: loaded paper crooked, paper jammed, unreliable

This was the first printer that my husband and I purchased, we didn't really know what we would need so we went with inexpensive. The Canon BJC 1000 was only $30.00 after a mail-in rebate so you can't beat the price but we soon found out why it was so...

Pros: Low cost, Good output.
Cons: Continually Powered

Ahem,

Today I start my new way of reviewing hardware.
I hope it is acceptable to everyone.

I setup and use the BJC1000 on a daily basis. I have found this printer to be the best quality printer for the money. After rebates,...
