Product Description

The Canon i550 Color Bubble Jet Printer delivers professional-level performance with the ultimate home-printer value. Speeds of up to 18 ppm in black and up to 11 ppm in color will let you race through Web pages and documents faster than you ever thought possible. Quality is amazing with an ultra-high resolution of up to 4800 x 1200 color dpi. The i550 printer even turns your desktop into a virtual photo lab-enjoy stunning borderless 4" x 6" prints in less than 48 seconds and photos in sizes up to 8.5" x 11". The i550 printer features the unique Canon Think Tank System that combines individual ink tanks with intelligent ink management for ease-of-use and lower printing costs.The i550 printer features several Canon exclusives: advanced MicroFine Droplet Technology dramatically improves resolution and detail. It has a revolutionary nozzle system that ejects consistent prescribed-volume droplets in ultra-fine sizes with remarkable accuracy. Precision Color Distribution Technology features a symmetrical printhead design with 1, 088 nozzles to virtually eliminate color variance and banding problems typically found with conventional high-speed, bi-directional printing.The i550 printer supports Exif 2.2 (Exchangeable Image Format File), a new worldwide standard for higher quality digital photos, and features exclusive Canon Easy-PhotoPrint software that delivers the potential of Exif Print and more. When an Exif compliant digital camera captures a photo, important camera settings and shooting conditions are saved in the JPEG image file. Simple-to-use Easy-PhotoPrint analyzes the recorded data then automatically adjusts printer driver settings for optimum image processing. The result: digital photos that more closely match the photographer's true intentions.

Low maintenance, good printer.......2006-09-13

I've had my i550 for several years now. Works great. I like only changing ink for the colors that are used. It never refuses to print based on counting print jobs (a problem that I had with an Epson). No issues with the quality of print.

canon printer i550.......2006-07-06

I got my i550 printer more than 3 years ago and never had any problem with it; the printing is as clear as it was from day one [maintenance helps]. Although "old tech." by today standard, I highly recommend it for home use. I will not part with mine until it dies on me. Long live the "i550".

ALMOST 2 YEARS & GOING STRONG.......2006-05-27

I have read some other reviews that stated after a year or 15 months they began having problems with this printer. I have had mine for almost 2 years and no problems encountered yet; and I use it alot.
I love my printer. Easy to use, easy to change individual ink cartridges. I mostly use it for office use but I am very pleased with the photo quality as well.
I would have to say it is a great printer.

First 12 months was fine...........2006-02-27

Have had this printer about 15 months. It worked fine for the first twelve months, now out of warranty and, depite many, many attempts at changing cartridges, cleaning and re-aligning print heads, I can only get magenta to print out stripey. Driving me nuts! Spent £20 on new cartridges three days ago (because I hadn't used the printer for a while) and still no luck.

Can't get to UK Tech Support page, so no help there.

Shall I get it repaired or ditch it for something better?

Great printer.......2004-04-21

I have been using my printer now for a year and I still love it. Crisp colors and easy to use and refill. Great price--I'm happy with it.
