Important Printer Buying Tip: ALWAYS check for the ink cartridge prices before you purchase a printer. Why? Sometimes cheaper printers end up costing more because its ink cartridges may be way expensive. You should calculate the "cost of ownership" per month. The math is simple: (number of prints per month) times (cost of the cartridge) divided by (the yield of the cartridge). Yield is the number of pages that can be printed with one particular cartridge. For example, assume that average home user prints 150 black pages per month using a black cartridge that yields 200 pages and costs $28. The monthly "cost of ownership" is (150 pages) x ($28) = $21 200 pages Also look at the printer ink alternatives; besides the original manufacturer's cartridges (OEMs), you may have the selection of remanufactured cartridges, compatible ink cartridges, and ink refill kits. |

Product Description for Canon BJC 8500 (From the Manufacturer, Canon)

Canon combined unique printing technologies with advanced features to offer a printer capable of outstanding quality whilst also well equipped for business use. The BJC-8500 can achieve a true resolution of 1200 x 1200 dpi by using Canon's brand new MicroFine Droplet Technology. This reduces the size of each drop, producing superior image quality, with the result being print outs of even better quality than silver halide photographs. P-POP Technology ensures that this level of print quality can be achieved across a wide range of papers and a wide range of applications. The BJC-8500 offers superb handling capabilities facilitating such tasks as crop marks printing and layout for pre-press artwork, making it the ideal choice in printing for the graphics and design industry.

PC MAGAZINE.com Editors' review:
The BJC-8500 is a workhorse for graphic artists and designers who need large-format support. The BJC-8500 doesn't offer class-leading speeds. But what's missing in terms of speed the BJC-8500 makes up for in quality.
The 8500 comes with a 250-sheet paper tray, and you can add a second 250-sheet tray. A manual feed slot in the back gives you a straight paper path for heavy stock and labels. The BJC-8500 can handle paper up to 13 by 19 inches, allowing full bleeds on all sides of a ledger-size sheet.
With an overall speed of 0.5 ppm, the BJC-8500 is even slower than the BJC-8200, which has an overall speed of 1.0 ppm, but it has excellent quality. In four-color mode, there's a fifth tank for black and a sixth tank containing an ink optimizer that waterproofs plain paper to reduce wicking in paper fibers. The print driver is a bit limited compared with that of other printers, and the unit doesn't come with bundled software, but it gets the job done when you need large, high-quality photos.
The BJC-8500 is priced so that only professional users will be interested, but if you need to print on large media, you don't have many other choices in this price range.
