  • A Trained Chimp Could Set This Printer Up ??? ???

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Oct 15, 2000
    Pros: Inexpensive Printer
    Cons: Colors Are Not As Sharp As I Would Like

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • Good for daily printing not much else

    Dec 22, 2003
    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.

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • Canon BJC-1000 - Compact And Cheap, But Very Annoying

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    May 7, 2002
    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

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • Worth the price tag.

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

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • OK for light, Windows-only use

    Sep 1, 2001
    Pros: It was cheap
    Cons: You get what you pay for

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • More expensive in the long run...

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Aug 1, 2001
    Pros: Cheap, extremely easy to operate and install
    Cons: Uses too much ink, poor black text when using color cartridge, feeds paper poorly

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • Good Little Printer

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jul 22, 2001
    Pros: Easy to Use, Quick
    Cons: Picture Quality

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • The no brainer printer

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jul 21, 2001
    Pros: Affordable, easy setup, no maintenance.
    Cons: Color ink prints low quality images.

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • Canon BJC 1000

    Jul 4, 2001
    Pros: Very User Friendly Compact design Quite affordable 2nd hand
    Cons: Paper jams frequent Bad long term colour quality

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • Simple and easy

    May 28, 2001
    Pros: Cheap printer for simple personal use.
    Cons: Changing the ink cartridges in and out for different tasks (color/b&W)

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • Paper problems

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Apr 22, 2001
    Pros: Absolutely None
    Cons: They should give you a free printer after purchasing 5 cartridges.

    Summary: 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 ... read more

    Mar 23, 2001
    Pros: good quality small, takes up little space, inexpensive easy hook up/instructions sleek look
    Cons: eats up printer ink quickly very slow moving

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • Hey it was free I can't really complain!

    Feb 24, 2001
    Pros: decent print quality came with my pc for free easy to use
    Cons: jams paper and uses alot of ink really fast

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • if youre not looking for flashy stuff, this is the one for you.

    Jan 30, 2001
    Pros: inexpensive, good quality for the price you pay.
    Cons: replacement cartriges are expensive, being as high as $45.00

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • Quiet and ultracompact from Canon

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 5, 2001
    Pros: nonbad photoprint, low noise level
    Cons: low quality colour prints, short cable

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • Best Printer Ever

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 18, 2000
    Pros: Cheap, Reliable, Accurate, Excellent print quality
    Cons: None

    Summary: 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). ... read more

  • The best value and economy

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Nov 23, 2000
    Pros: value, quality, easy installation
    Cons: cartridges

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • Nice size, bad printer

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Nov 13, 2000
    Pros: size
    Cons: reliability

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • Good Little Printer for the Money

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Oct 17, 2000
    Pros: Good Quality Printing, Great Price
    Cons: Slow Printing

    Summary: 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. ... read more

  • little belly, though very thirsty

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Oct 17, 2000
    Pros: price of printer
    Cons: price of ink; general print-quality

    Summary: 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 ... read more
