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 i350 (From the Manufacturer, Canon)
The Canon i350 Color Bubble Jet Printer delivers crisp text, simple setup, and high-quality photos from the Web—all at an exceptional value. Web photos often suffer from poor quality, so Canon specially developed Easy Webprint software to improve them (Windows only). Functioning as a toolbar in Microsoft IE, it automatically scales and smoothes pages to fit your paper properly, and allows you to format multiple pages as a single, multi-column page.
The i350 printer's compact design fits nicely into limited workspaces; with a weight of just 5.3 pounds, you'll hardly know it's there. A full software package is included to make photo printing easy manageable, and the two ink cartridges are included in the box. USB connectivity means just one cord is necessary, but you'll need to supply it yourself. Canon provides a one-year warranty with Instant Exchange service.
What's in the Box
Printer; AC power supply and cord; BCI-24 black ink tank; BCI-24 color ink tank; Setup Software and User's Guide CD-ROM including printer drivers, User's Guide and e-registration, Easy-PhotoPrint (Windows/Mac), Easy-WebPrint (Windows, requires Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.5, version 6.0 recommended); printer cable not included
Street Price: $129.85
PCWORLD.com Editors' 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.
The i350 uses two ink cartridges. The black tank costs $7 and prints an estimated 300 pages of text, which works out to a modest 2.3 cents per page. Printing color, on the other hand, isn't particularly cheap. A three-color cartridge costs $18.50 and produces an estimated 170 pages of light graphics (not photos); so you'll use about 12.2 cents of ink (including the cost of black ink) per color page, versus our current average of 10 cents per page.
UPSHOT: The i350 is for bargain hunters who won't compromise on print quality, but can live without fast print speeds and fancy features.
