Speed and fairly good print quality make the I550 an attractive middle-of-the-road ink jet.

Canon i550

Low ink costs; can print borderless photos; excellent software package; good results on some grades of paper.

Unexceptional color printing on photo-grade paper; grungy and blurry text printing on low-grade paper; noisy.

The speedy, low-cost Canon i550 is a bargain hunter's printer. For best output, be careful to pick the right paper.

Canon i550 review

If printers were cars, the Canon i550 would be a small, efficient sedan, such as a Toyota Corolla or a Honda Civic. Thus, although this printer may lack the éclat of a Lexus or a Hummer, it gets you where you need to go. Plus, it's cheap to buy and...

Canon i550 Color Bubble Jet

Very good prin quality for the price. Ink cost is very low, uses individual ink tanks. I have printed a lot and has used very little ink. I like how you can set it to turn itself on when you print something and to turn itself off after certain idle...

Excelent print quality, quick, low ink costs, many features

non so far.

Canon i550 Color Bubble Jet

Compared to my old BJC-610, I am disappointed in only one thing--I have to clean the print head every other time I want to print something. The ink seems to dry out. This is a nuisance and probably uses a lot of ink unnecessarily.
