Canon I850 Photo Printer (Canon-7820A001)

 

Home-office bargain-hunters looking for a printer that can pinch-hit on digital photography should consider the I850.

Canon i850 review: Canon i850

 

Canon i850

High-quality photo prints; retractable paper trays; easy installation; fast.

Mediocre text and graphic printouts; USB cable not included; can't read removable media cards.

This solid, speedy printer offers great photo prints but mediocre text and graphics.

Canon - i850 Bubble Jet Printer

 

There was a time, a few years ago, when Canon was the poor relation of the photo printing industry. It's products were OK, but nothing to write home about. Since then, the company's products have improved ...

On the basis of this printer, Canon is on a par with its competitors. The four-ink solution makes it potentially cheaper to run than six-ink printers, yet the output quality is still very good. It's also quiet, fast and easy to use. Nice.
