Da Best For Me

I've had one of these BJC 2000's ever since I dumped my HP printers years ago. Low priced. Very reliable and long-lived. Great home printer--not recommended for office environment. Fairly slow, and inkjet printouts will smudge if wetted. It ain't a...

BJC = Bad Junky Canon

I really don't like this printer. Though, it's good in some ways. The printer doesn't use that much ink, so you don't have to buy printer ink very often. Plus, it does a quite good job cleanig itself. Now for the negatives, which are much more...

Canon BJC 2000 Printer/Scanner

 

I wanted an inexpensive, quality printer/scanner that would not take up a lot of room and perform. I did some research on the topic and came up with the Canon BJC 2000.

Small/compact, fast accurate prints, owners manual reader friendly

cleaning is a bit tricky, all the settings for the different prints confusing

Medium quality and works for a couple of years

I liked this printer in the begining. But it used a lot of ink and the ink was costly. Then I bought a box of cartridges from a supplier. But alas, by then the printer stopped working. I thought head was dirty but no. I guess head has worn out in two...

Canon? Shoot it with a cannon!

This printer is not very reliable. I had paper jams a lot, it is very sluggish in printing, slower with a color cartridge, and very cheap. The software was all that saved it. It is easy to follow and too easy to install. Heck, Licoln could install...

Inexpensive startup printer/scanner

The Canon BJC-2000 is lightweight with a small footprint. Also get the IS-22 Scanner Cartridge - it turns the BJC-2000 into a feedthrough scanner with the same small footprint. The BJC-2000 can print color photos on photo paper, business cards, t-shirt...

Product Specifications

Fortunately, it comes from a long line of machines built for performance and convenient size. Incredibly compact, the BJC-2000S is the printing powerhouse you need for all your home or business projects-without taking up a lot of valuable desktop space. The true test of a superior printer is if its powerful features are also easy to use. The BJC-2000S passes with flying colors. Plug it in and you're ready to print anything from letters, memos, reports and flyers to full-color brochures, invita-tions, photos and more. An ingenious drop-in loading cartridge system lets you easily replace empty ink tanks and cartridges or add specialty inks, such as Photo Ink. You can even turn your BJC-2000S into a color sheetfed scanner with the optional IS-22 Color Image Scanner Cartridge. When you open the front cover, the cartridge automatically moves to the center for easy access. Simply pop out the cartridge and drop in your choice of new ones. Canon Inks are designed to let you take full advantage of PhotoRealism and Canon Specialty Papers add tremendous versatility to your printer.
