Amazon.com Product Description

The Canon i250 Color Bubble Jet Printer delivers crisp text, no-hassle printing and high-quality photos from the Web--all at an exceptional value. You've heard "no hassle" in regard to web printing, but Canon's specially developed Easy Webprint software makes it a reality. Functioning as a toolbar in Microsoft IE, it automatically scales and smoothes pages to fit your paper properly, and allows you to format multiple pages as a single, multi-column page.

Whether you're printing from the web or your own system, your documents, letters and reports will have clean, truly black text thanks to rich pigment-based inks; with speeds up to 12 pages per minute, the i250 handily keeps pace with the needs of your home office or family. When it comes to printing photos, you may decide that professional processing is a thing of the past-a maximum resolution of 4,800 x 1,200 dpi and MicroFine Droplet Technology combine for virtually grain-free images ready for framing or sending to friends in less than two minutes. Color images print at up to 9 pages per minute.

The i250 printer's compact design fits nicely into limited work spaces; with a weight of just 3.75 lbs, you'll hardly know it's there. A full software package is included to make photo printing easy manageable, and the two ink cartridges are included in the box. USB connectivity means just one cord is necessary, but you'll need to supply it yourself. Canon provides a one-year warranty with Instant Exchange service.

Great Printer for a Great Price!.......2006-11-29

When I originally bought this printer 3 years ago, I believe it was a much better price that it is now. This is a great everyday printer. I used this printer throughout college to print out projects and a lot of paper. It never failed me once. It is very simple to use and the best thing is that the ink (both black and color) is extremely cheap - especially if you buy it online. Black will run you around $6 and color ink is about $12. Both a really good deal and they last you a decent amount of time. Generally, this is a really good printer, but I am not sure if it is worth this new price.

you don't always get what you pay for.......2006-03-13

After using this printer for almost two years, I am sadly disappointed in the fact that the color cartridge has only worked for the first 6 months. Since then, I have been unable to get the color option to work.
The black cartridge works great but for almost 50.00, I expected a bit more

No Frills Printer that will save you a LOT of money.......2004-09-23

I purchased this bubble jet as a second family printer mainly for documents, and letters and have been extremely impressed.
It's fairly compact, very easy to install and use and has already more than paid for itself.
The average cost of a replacement black cartridge is around $3 online for multi packs of 5 and I have purchased multi packs of color cartridges also online at under $5 each including shipping! Compared with many other top brands that cost up to $35 per cartridge - that's a big big saving. As I said this is a "no frills" printer, but actually has very clear reproduction onto photo paper in high color using the idiot proof "Easy Photo" software provided. The Maintenance window allows you to do many functions including resetting the cartridges for low ink warning after installing new ones, a quiet mode for night printing, and many other functions. Another gem is the "Easy-Web" print feature that allows you to capture web pages for printing on standard paper without losing information on the edges, as you would using the regular print function from Windows. The only minor complaint I have is that being a bubble jet, high quality print in both BW and color can take a little while to dry, but other than this - it's a wonderful budget package, with a well known and respected name. If you're into CAD or high quality photo reproduction, imaging and such like then this is not for you - but if you print a lot of draft quality documents, and have a family especially who churn out pages of printed matter per day, this will serve you well, and save you a LOT of money. I've had mine for over 6 months and it is in daily use with NO problems to date. Highly recommended.

A great little printer at a value price.......2004-07-02

At its value price point, perhaps you can't expect perfection from the Canon i250,(...) I find very few reasons to complain.

First off, the quality of printing was surprising for a standard, 4 ink printer, even on digital photos. For photo prints, does it perform as well as, say, an HP Photosmart 7960 with its 8 inks (which is over 4x the cost)? Of course it doesn't. But for routine use, even on the occasional photo, it's really not bad.

When in its normal printing mode, it's not a speed demon, but it does perform reasonably well, and is typical of printers in its class.

On the up side, consumables for this printer are remarkably affordable, providing somewhat of a disincentive to pursue refill kits. They also seem to have a fair and reasonable number of prints per cartridge change. But if you do choose to refill, I've found the print cartridges in the i250 refill easily and effectively, free of print-counter chips (so popular in Epson's printers these days) that are such a pain.

And speaking of Epson, recent Epson inkjets I've used will end-up with clogged print nozzles if the printer sits unused even for only a couple of days. Not so here; I've gone weeks between prints, and it fires-up and works perfectly each time.

Also a plus is the printer's compact size. While you still need to allow space for paper movement, when not in use, the top folds down and it's small, shoebox size let's you put it most anywhere.

Truly, at this price, almost anyone can afford one, and it'd be money well spent in my book.
