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,...

Pros: good quality printing
Cons: loud and slow

When my husband and I bought our Compaq Presario, a Canon BJC 1000 printer was included. I do not like this printer as much as my old Lexmark. The Canon is much louder, it makes weird noises the whole time it is printing. Paper gets jammed a lot and...

Pros: Cheap, and simple
Cons: Color printing is not top quality, but what did you expect in this price range?

After my Canon BJC-4000 printer finally gave up the ghost, I had to quickly find another printer, at an economical price. I decided to buy another Canon, as the 4000 had a lot of hard miles put on it by the wife before she gave it to me, upon the...

Pros: good quality small, takes up little space, inexpensive easy hook up/instructions sleek look
Cons: eats up printer ink quickly very slow moving

This is a quality printer, but I would warn you that it moves very slow. It is not a laser printer, so expect that it would not move as fast as one. It produces quality material and prints type characters, clip art, and pictures well, as long as you...

Pros: compact
Cons: uses too much ink

Our BJC-1000 printer came with our computer package that we purchased at Best Buy in May of 1999. I like the style of it. It is pretty compact and doesn't take up much space. The print quality is pretty good. The only downfall is that it goes through...

Pros: Inexpensive, Easy to use
Cons: Slow, Holds only black OR color cartridge at one time.

This is a fantastic 'starter' printer. I use it mainly for text printing and use my HP882 USB for color and picture printing. And the price was unbelievable !! Special sale at CompUSA for $29.99 and on my way out I spotted a rebate for $30.00. Total cost...

Pros: printer is cheap, and good for text, easy to use
Cons: runs out of ink quickly, brakes easily, feeds a lot of paper through at one time

Where do I begin explaining the wrongs that come along with this unfriendly printer. When I bought my computer the Canon BJC-1000 came free with the purchase of the computer. Now I know why. It comes at a good price but get ready to spend some money on...

Pros: inexpensive, good quality for the price you pay.
Cons: replacement cartriges are expensive, being as high as $45.00

I bought this printer because it was on sale and I had messed up my previous printer (2000 series). I only paid 30 dollars for it so i knew not to expect much. I don't use my printer for flashy presentations, I just use it for school, or to print...

Pros: FREE!!
Cons: refill the paper/ink every week for 20 pages

This printer is supposedly $120. Well, I got it free with my computer package. You know what? I think Canon should pay ME to use this piece.

For starters, I should point out that the thing is VERY simple to use, setup, etc... In fact,...

Pros: quiet, quality, efficient
Cons: driver support

This Canon BJC-1000 is the first ink jet printer i have purchased, so far it is actually the best of all the printers i have bought since. I still use it even tho i have a newer deskjet printer. This printer is quiet and it prints clearly. The only...

Pros: small, compact, light-weight, easy to install
Cons: makes loud noises, average printing quality, runs out of ink quickly

My Canon BJC came free with my new computer, so who am I to look a gift horse in the mouth. I took the time to find a good computer at a good price, and for me it was a plus that it came with the printer. I felt I was off the hook -- I would not need...

Pros: slow
Cons: cheap

I have noticed that many reviews for the Canon BJC1000 complain about the small number of pages printed per cartridge. That is because you are probably using the included BC05 Color cartridge to print black text documents. DO NOT USE the BC05 for text...

Pros: good color
Cons: machine is a little noisy

Ihave a Canon BJC 1000 and i love the clarity of the pictures the color is so rich and true. I have been using my printer for about 2mnths now and sometimes i find myself making a print of a page that i could really do without. The printer is a very nice...

Pros: none
Cons: inktank dryout, poor quality, lack of customer service

We've had the Cannon BJC for a few years, but the trouble that it has caused is not worth the money. The inktanks frequently dry up, color quality is poor, paper is constantly getting stuck, and the replacement cartridges are expensive, to say the...

Pros: small, good for day to day print jobs at home
Cons: not much color variety, smeary/dotty print quality, expensive ink that doesn't last long enough.

I bought my Canon BJC-1000 4 years ago. I thought it was great when I first bought it (having come from a dot-matrix printer). I found out quickly that you have to buy a separate ink cartridge for black ink. The ink cartridges in my area are close to $30 ...

Pros: It was cheap
Cons: You get what you pay for

I ended up with a BJC-1010 after my HP 500C finally gave up and died on me - and being strapped for cash as I tend to be I searched online, and found this puppy on sale for $40. Sounded like a great deal to me and I grabbed it.
Now for the most...

Pros: Affordable, easy setup, no maintenance.
Cons: Color ink prints low quality images.

We have the Canon BJC-1000 now for about two years. Before this, we had an Epson 740 Ink Jet with dual cartridge. That printer would not print if one of the ink cartridges were empty. We decided to buy a simple printer that uses only one cartridge...

Pros: every aspect about it
Cons: none

The product I am reviewing today is the "Canon Printer".

This is a real high quality printer, and it is the best one that i have used in a very long time. This printer seriously means business.

Key Features:

...

Pros: It does put out printed materials
Cons: Speed, quality, .........

Seeing what others have to say about this printer is confusing...Some people seem to love it, others, well, lets just say they could do without it. What the consumer has to remember is that when buying computer hardware the basic rules of shopping still...

Pros: Very User Friendly Compact design Quite affordable 2nd hand
Cons: Paper jams frequent Bad long term colour quality

I have had my Canon BJC 1000 printer for a while now, it was bundled with my Pc package. On first impressions the Canon BJC 1000 is a tacky, fragile looking device. However in a matter of minutes you can be away and printing, yes thats right the printer...

Pros: Quality
Cons: Smudging

First of all lets talk about the print quality. The text quality is very good, the blacks are nice and dark, but obviously like with all incject printers, if you grab the page as soon as you print you will mudge it. Also the printed out pages can start...

Pros: Cheap, Reliable, Accurate, Excellent print quality
Cons: None

I bought this printer because my HP 540 Inkjet printer's paperfeed mechanism was screwing up so that I had to feed each sheet in by hand and often wound up partially crumpling the paper.

The Bubblejet cost me about $CDN 50 ($US 30 or so)....

Pros: Cheap printer for simple personal use.
Cons: Changing the ink cartridges in and out for different tasks (color/b&W)

I have had my printer for a year and a half, receiving it as a much wanted Christmas present. I am a college student and I need a printer to print out papers for my classes. The printer is easy to set-up and runs like it is supposed to. I do not...

Pros: Fast setup great print quality
Cons: No paper tray

I have had my BJC-1000 sitting in a next to me for four months unopened. You see I got it free with my new computer and didn't know what to do with it.

Well today I had to open it out of desperation. I sold five t-shirts to friends on the...

Pros: decent print quality came with my pc for free easy to use
Cons: jams paper and uses alot of ink really fast

I got the canon BJC 1000 printer with my computer for free and it's been pretty decent to me since then. Has outlasted my computer so I have to give it that much credit. I have it for about for years now and it's a handy little thing when you want to...

Pros: Inexpensive, easy to install and use
Cons: mediocre color printing

I was very fortunate to buy my Canon BJC-1000 Bubblejet printer on sale for about 70 dollars. For the price I believe I did very well. It was simple to install, came with interesting photo software and I have had no problems running it.

The...

Pros: Cheap, extremely easy to operate and install
Cons: Uses too much ink, poor black text when using color cartridge, feeds paper poorly

The Canon BJC-1000 may seem like a great deal for around $20 (usually after rebate), but you will pay much more in wasted ink, paper, and time.
The printer is easy to install and very simple to operate. It only has one button on it, which feeds...

Pros: Compact, easy to use, and Inexpensive
Cons: Cartridges

About a year ago I purchased my present and first computer system. It was one of those package deals you always see advertised. You know the type, CPU, software bundle, monitor, printer, speakers etc. The salesman, as expected, tried to talk me into a...

Pros: unbeatable price, easy setup, reliable
Cons: ink cartridges overpriced

I bought one of these because I needed an inexpensive inkjet printer and after finding an advertised special and getting a rebate on it I ended up paying about $20 for the thing, shipping included! I found it to be very easy to set up, and I also found...

Pros: The realibilty, the cost,
Cons: slow speed on printing papers

Over the years Canon has proven its realibilty and affordability with all the items it sells. For this reason I chose to purchase a Canon BJC 1000, this computer retails for about $120.00 and proves to give your moneys worth and alot more.

As...

Pros: Cheap, good print quality and usually efficient. Not to mention small.
Cons: Nothing major.

I bought my canon BJC-1000 about two years ago and I have not had any major problems with it until recently when the cartridge detection mechanism stopped working. Unfortunately, I could not get it fixed by the Canon authorised service centre in Guyana...

Pros: compact and space saving
Cons: un-clear printing quality

Well, where do I start?!? I bought this Cannon BJC 1000 because the store had a great deal on it! It was priced at $79.95 with an in store rebate of $30.00 and a mail-in rebate of $30.00 making its final cost at $19.95! WOW! What a deal! (I don't...

Pros: Compact and inexpensive
Cons: Does not last

I needed a printer right away for my home based business. I was on a shoe string budget and needed something fast! The price was right so I went with the Canon BJC 1000. It was cute, inexpensive, and didn't take up a lot of space. I liked the software...

Pros: Ease of use, price
Cons: Slow, mediocre printing

I purchased this product because it was included in the computer package I purchased from a major retailer. It's a good value given that I didn't pay much for it.

The BJC-1000 is actually a decent overall printer. It can print a variety of...

Pros: Durable, Easy To Use
Cons: None Right Now!!!

I purchased the BJC1000 for 19.99 and it has been worth every dime. It's main use is for printing shipping labels, envelopes, and letters. I keep a BC-02 cartridge installed. I have also used the BC-06 photo cartridge. For a $19.99 printer you can't...

Pros: size
Cons: reliability

I got this printer included in my new computer package. The printer was not recognized by my computer and I had a hard time setting it up. The printer eats the paper and bleeds on the paper. It is the perfect size for my dorm room, but has no tray to...

Pros: Good Quality Printing, Great Price
Cons: Slow Printing

I had a WEB-TV and bought my BJC-1000 to go with it. I wanted something cheap. At the time I didn't need a heavy duty machine. My BJC-1000 was regular priced at $49.99 and had a $30 rebate going. I figured a printer for $20, I couldn't go wrong.
...

Pros: Easy to Use, Quick
Cons: Picture Quality

Let me start by saying that I do own a Canon MultiPass as well as this. When this was bought, it was gotten at a yard sale for 10.00, and had all the software and cable hookups with it. This was bought with the intentions of just being used on my second...

Pros: great for kids and small printer jobs
Cons: runs out of ink to fast

I brought the cannon printer because it was on sale at my local supermarket. I need one to do my papers for school. I feel the this a fair printer for kids but for people who does a lot for printing need to consided a printer the have a bigger ink...

Pros: Absolutely None
Cons: They should give you a free printer after purchasing 5 cartridges.

I hate this printer!
It has 3 paper settings...
1. Jams
2. Too many sheets at one time
or my current favorite...
3. Won't feed at all
I have already had this unit repaired once and I dont think I will bother again. I have...

Pros: Price
Cons: Requires to change cartridge for color/bw

I had an Epson Inkjet (great) which broke up and no one could fix. Since I only need basic print capabilities and quality I decided I'd buy a printer I could replace every year if I wanted to. I was surprised with the features of this printer. If you're...

Pros: Easy to install. Easy to use>
Cons: Have two change from black to color cartridge.

The best little home color printer for the money! I paid $44.00 for mine after rebate and if your consider the cost of the color cartridge that comes with $45 retail. They are paying me to use it.
In addition it’s so easy to install and use.
...

Pros: Good Quality for Price
Cons: Ink runs out way to quick

I had received this printer a couple months ago as a gift from a family member. I was excited because I had just built my computer and I finally had a printer. The quality of this printer seemed to meet my satisfaction. After a month or so, my ink...

Pros: Great Quailty with everything
Cons: None that I can think of anyway

Where do I start about this great little printer...This printer has made alot of my customers happy. I think this printer is great because of the ink cartriges for one. I think the price for ink are great my customers buy them by the dozens. The...

Pros: Low Cost
Cons: Pages Per Min

The reason I purchased this product is because I wanted a low cost ink jet printer for a low cost. Cannon was offering a $30 rebate. By buying over the internet, I saved shipping and handling costs. Plus no sales tax. For the low cost the printer does a...

Pros: Price and a name you can trust
Cons: none

I purchased this printer because I wanted a color printer to use for cards and newsletters. I love my BJC 1000. If you have a black and white printer and want to upgrade to a color printer for as little money as possible this is the printer to go for....

Pros: MAYBE THE WEIGHT
Cons: EVERYTHING ELSE...

This is the worst printer I ever had.
It eats the ink from the cartidge, it´s printing quality is terrible, it´s slow, loud, etc.
If you are at your common sense, PLEASE DON´T BUY THIS PRINTER !!!!

Pros: Cheap and affordable for the value
Cons: Slowest printing ever seen

Despite the fact that it prints slower than many of the printers available in the market, it is indeed a good buy if it deals with mere black-and-white text printing. Effect of the print-outs is satisfactory though not impressive.

Pros: Best little workhorse ever!!!
Cons: Slow ... but steady.

I have had this printer for over 7 years. I print lots of documents and this printer just keeps going. I use ink refills and I am able to reuse each Canon cartridge at least four rounds before having to replace it with a new one.

Pros: None
Cons: Expen$ive cartridges that run out quickly or dry out, single tri-color cartridge

I purchased this printer as a back-up for a laser printer and to print an occasional color copy. It came with one color cartridge. When the laser printer went bad, I decided to purchase a black cartridge and was dismayed to find that it cost $25 at Wal-Mart. Refill kits and compatible cartridges are not available for this printer. The cartridge lasted a couple months of light use and then dried out. Numerous cleaning cycles did not help. After another couple months of using the color cartridge for occasional use, it ran out of ink. The three color tanks are combined in the one cartridge so it is not possible to purchase the cartridge for just the color that ran out. Internet prices for the color cartridge are $39.

This printer may be cheap to buy, but is unacceptably expensive to maintain. Look for a printer with separate cartridges for the three colors and where reasonably-priced after-market cartridges are available.

Pros: fast, ink-saving, reliable, user-friendly, clean-printing
Cons: color/black must be interchanged

i got this printer for free by exchanging a router for it from my ex. i'd say... she definitely got the worse end of the straw. this is the best inkjet printer i've ever owned, and i've owened a lot. i'm a student so i print a lot for my own purposes (as opposed to submitting papers) so i turn the quality all the way down to draft to save on ink... and i switch cartriges once a year. i buy them off ebay so they're $8. it's fast and it hardly ever fails on me. when it does, it's usually my own damn fault by giving it crappy paper. i love this printer.
