Canon Pixma ip2000 Printer Review

Canon Pixma ip2000 - An Affordable Inkjet Printer Producing Good Quality Photos





MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price)
for Canon : $79.99



Canon Pixma ip2000 is a fine inkjet printer for printing text, graphics, and photos. It's graphics and photo output is good. It's printing speed is decent. Canon ip2000's affordable price makes it an attractive inkjet printer choice for students, small businesses, and families.

Canon Pixma iP2000 has some nice features, such as direct printing from printer, dual input trays, good graphics print quality, and a bit more speed. Though it has some weak points, this inkjet printer is a great bargain.

Canon Pixma iP2000 has double input trays - one at the top of the printer and a shelf with a plastic cover on the bottom. So you don't have to swap out paper when you switch between text and photo printing.

With Canon Pixma iP2000 you can print directly from any Canon or PictBridge-compatible camera.

Canon Pixma iP2000 uses two ink cartridges - one for black ink and one for cyan, magenta, and yellow. It does not use separate cartridges for each color.

This ink cartridge system can be wasteful as you have to replace the whole color ink cartridge when one color runs out.

The Canon iP2000 is quite fast for such an affordable inkjet printer.

The included software and Canon drivers are the same for the other Pixma line of inkjet printers.

    Reviews Summary:
    The summary is based on testimonials of the Canon Pixma ip2000 users and editors in various sources such as PC Magazine, Cnet, PCWorld etc.

    It's not perfect, but this Canon ip2000 inkjet printer performs much better than the step-up model in the Canon Pixma line, and it's cheaper, too. It provides decent graphics print quality.
    But combined color cartridge is wasteful. The lower-end Canon Pixma iP2000 is slightly more compact and stripped down than the two higher-end printers in this line, the ip3000 and ip4000.

    Pros
    • Low price
    • Fast text printing

    Cons
    • No ink catridge level sensor
