Canon i350 Color Bubble Jet Printer Review

- Canon's i350 costs only $60 and resembles a loaf of bread, but the little machine impressed us in most stages of PC World's testing. It printed solid, well-defined black text with only subtle hatching or barbs on diagonal lines. On plain paper, the i350 produced gray-scale photos with realistic textures and shading, though a slightly soft-focus look obscured detail somewhat. (Our prints on coated inkjet paper looked sharper.) On glossy photo paper, the i350 printed our test photos with sharp detail; colors looked natural though slightly washed out. We clocked the i350 printing text at 5.4 pages per minute, a fairly average speed among inkjets we've tested lately; on graphics, the rate fell to an unusually slow 0.7 ppm. One warning: When we handled plain-paper printouts, the inks tended to smear.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Fast printing, nice printout

    Weaknesses: Not durable. Breaks down easily. Paper jams really easily.

    Overall Evaluation: Not durable. I had a i320 and it had to be serviced 3 times in the first yr. The printheads keep self-destructing. During the last service, i was given a i350 as a replacement. And barely half a yr later, the i350 broke down and now it's out of warranty and is a piece of junk.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: compact, easy to use, beatiful photo

    Weaknesses: N/A

    Overall Evaluation: I replaced our xerox ink jet with this printer after being fed up with trying refill inks that weren't the best and paying the price of a new lexmark every time I needed to replace the black and white and color tanks . This printer is smaller, prints photos better than our old xelox and is cheaper to maintain.
