Description:
Equipped with built-in USB and parallel ports and both Mac and PC compatible, the BJC 8200 is an ideal companion to your desktop or laptop. You'll print crisp text and true colors on photo paper, transparencies, and much more with this sleekly designed, small, light printer.Setup and installation are smooth and easy with the Canon Quick Start Guide. The ink cartridges are easy to install but require several more steps than usual because each tank is installed separately. However, the ink management system minimizes waste and saves you money; you replace only the color that runs out. We also like the reassurance of the low-ink sensor, which sends a message when the ink is low so you can refill before you start a new project. Print speeds are approximately a minute for 4-by-6-inch prints and up to 3 minutes for an 8-by-10-inch print. The 1,200 x 1,200 dpi resolution in black and color produces vibrantly colored and detailed photo prints. The unit's auto feed speeds production, holding about 100 sheets of plain paper and 80 pages of high-resolution photographic paper. The BJC 8200 runs a little loud for our taste, but who could resist a remarkably fast, commanding little printer, enabling you to print high-quality photos in your home or office?Although the BJC-8200 has a highly intuitive interface, you may need to consult the manual to use some functions. We prefer having a hard copy of the user's reference at hand, but Canon's guide is online. The BJC-8200 printer includes a creative software applications CD-ROM featuring printer setup guide and Canon Photo. It prints on a wide range of paper types, including PhotoPaperPro, brilliant white, Bubble Jet, banner papers, envelopes, fabric sheets, greeting and glossy photo cards, glossy photo paper, high-gloss photo film, and high-resolutionand plain paper, transparencies, and magnetic sheets. We didn't try them all but if results remain consistent, the outcome is sure to impress even the master photographer. Canon offers a one-year limited warranty on parts and labor with SelectExchange available. --Barbara Price
