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.

ProductDescription for Canon BJC 8200
(From the Manufacturer, Canon)
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.
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.
Canon offers a one-year limited warranty on parts and labor with
SelectExchange available.
Street Price: $199.00
PC MAGAZINE.com Editors' review:
The BJC-8200 is for home or light-duty use. The BJC-8200 offers
class-leading speeds.
The BJC-8200 has both parallel and USB ports, though you have to provide
your own cables. Installation and setup were relatively painless except
for head alignment. Using one of the few sheets of high-quality paper
provided for this purpose, you have to print out a test sheet of
different colored rectangles.
Photos printed beautifully on the BJC-8200, and plain-paper output at
the default settings produced no noticeable banding. The one flaw was
that on plain paper, the black background on a line graph swallowed up
some faint lines, but this is of little consequence: The printer is
intended for photos, not graphs.
The BJC-8200 is too specialized for most home and small-office users,
and the skinny, black ink tank is not well suited for general printing
use.
