Canon Pixma iP1800

The Canon Pixma iP1800 delivers all the capability you'll likely need at home or in a college dorm, for a mere $50.

Low price. Small size. Surprisingly fast. Reasonably high-quality graphics and photos.

Text quality is subpar. Requires manual alignment with every ink cartridge replacement.

Canon Pixma iP1800

With its decent print speeds, serviceable print quality, and great software package, the Canon Pixma iP1800 is a good choice for an inexpensive inkjet printer for home users with basic printing needs.

Decent print quality and speed for the price; inexpensive inkjet printer; great software bundle; supports Vista.

No output tray; stingy warranty.

Canon Pixma iP1800 ink-jet photo printer

The iP1800 exceeded our expectations of how well a $50 printer could perform. Though shadow detail was lacking and blacks appeared too light, the iP1800's ability to produce very good photos was impressive for a printer at this price.

User-friendly ; Prints very good photos ; Inexpensive

No photo-card reader, media tray for small photos, PictBridge support, or output tray ; Shadow detail is lacking ; Black inks are light

To keep the iP1800 at its low price, Canon left out features you’d find on most photo printers: a photo-card reader, a separate media tray for smaller photo papers, PictBridge support, and an output tray. This printer is user-friendly, though, and very...

The Canon Pixma iP1800 is Canon's entry-level inkjet photo printer, which is clear if you take a gander at its price tag. You can pick up a Canon Pixma iP1800 for around £30, and this printer is equipped with the bare essentials to perform its duties:...

Canon Pixma iP1800

Punches above its weight in terms of photo print quality....

Compact, Inexpensive, Good print quality

Basic specification, Slow

Overall, you get a great performance for the money. The iP1800 is also Vista-compatible out of the box.

Canon - PIXMA ip1800

The PIXMA ip1800 is a no-frills, entry-level printer that retails at a mere £39, yet instead of settling for a humdrum cream casing, Canon has designed a sleek black mirror finish to a case that remains ...

It's hard to imagine a better quality colour printer for such a rock-bottom price (although a flip-down output tray would have been a handy and inexpensive addition) and this printer should be ideal for Mac or PC owners working to tight budgets.

Canon Pixma IP 1800

It worked well till I ran out of ink and put in replacement cartridges (Both color and b&w) The replacement cartridges were refilled and tested at a professional store. They worked OK for a few days and now without any reason or changes I am getting...

Worked well while the ink cartridge lasted. After that problems galore. See my comments below. Good resolution while it worked

No printed paper tray. Pages go flying all over the floor. All it needs is a slide-out piece of low cost plastic tray. Canon customer Support maintains that this way they can keep the cost low
