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 S820D
(From the Manufacturer, Canon)
Requiring no special papers to achieve refined color and sharp detail,
the S820D from Canon makes prints clear and colorful, borderless photos
a snap. It's the ideal companion for your Canon PowerShot S30 or S40
digital camera, as the printer supports a dedicated connection to these
models, and it prints directly from any camera's memory card.
The S820D uses a six-color printing process with individual ink
cartridges (256 x 6 nozzles) to reduce waste. The inks are formulated to
provide lightfast photos lasting up to 25 years. Print crisp black and
color prints at 2,400 x 1,200 dpi on a wide variety of media, including
letter size, legal size, A4, and A5. Canon claims you can print an
8-by-10-inch photo on plain paper in under two minutes and a 4-by-6-inch
photo in about one minute.
The printer has a USB interface and is compatible with your Mac or PC.

PC MAGAZINE.com Editors' review:
Color ink-jet photo printers are nothing new, but the Canon S820D Color
Bubble Jet Photo Printer is the first that packs almost all popular
options into one device. The S820D can print from memory cards,
interface directly with Canon digital cameras, operate as a regular text
printer, and produce excellent photo-quality prints.
To the left of the PC Card slot is the port for directly connecting the
included cable to a Canon PowerShot S30 or S40 digital camera. On the
right side of the printer top is an eight-line LCD panel. A cluster of
control buttons is located below the panel and the optional color LCD
display above it. The LCD panel displays DPOF (Digital Print Order
Format) information, which is tagged to the memory card's images.
Although the printer is designed to operate without a computer, it comes
equipped with a USB port and cable in case you choose to connect.
Setting up the printer and installing the driver and software is a
no-brainer. It took us about 10 minutes. The S820D uses six individual
color cartridges that easily snap into place, and the printhead utilizes
Canon's proprietary Advanced MicroFine Droplet Technology that sprays
dots as small as four picoliters, at a maximum resolution of 2,400 by
1,200 dpi. When outputting from a PC, the S820D is relatively fast,
completing a 4- by 6-inch photo-quality image on Canon's borderless
paper in just 56 seconds. That's an excellent speed for amateur
photographers but not fast enough for professional productivity.
Printing directly from memory cards or Canon digital cameras is
straightforward. Plug in the memory card and—assuming that you have the
optional LCD color display image viewer installed—the image instantly
appears on it. The printer works equally well with JPEG or TIFF images,
though it cannot handle RAW files. Step-by-step instructions ease
navigation through the DPOF menu via arrows and control buttons, as do
clear English text on the sides of the panel and helpful icons.
The S820D worked well with other cameras that were not directly
connected to the printer as well. Making a 4- by 6-inch borderless DPOF
print from a 3-megapixel Hewlett-Packard Photosmart 812 digital camera
took 3 minutes 56 seconds. Our only complaint is that the image on the
LCD is very small, making it difficult to discern detail.
Canon says that its Photo Pro paper and corresponding ink cartridges can
remain fade-free for up to 25 years when images are displayed or stored
under proper conditions, such as under glass and out of direct sunlight.
Media costs are comparable with other ink jets and dye-sub snapshot
printers. Though billed primarily as a photo printer, the S820D can, of
course print regular text as well.
The Canon S820D Color Bubble Jet Photo Printer is a solid, versatile
photo printer for serious amateurs for whom convenience is more
important than economy.
