Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Canon's BJC-2000 Bubble Jet printer is a well-rounded unit aimed at the home market. This affordable model offers a terrific balance of quality and flexibility. In addition to its printing tasks, the BJC-2000 offers the option to add document-scanning capability.
The parallel-compatible BJC-2000 is quite compact. Paper feeds downward from the rear of the unit and ejects horizontally from the front. During printing, the output tray slides out, and slides back underneath the unit to save space when you aren't printing. A small door in the center of the case flips down to allow access to the ink cartridge. When you open the cover, the print head presents itself automatically. To remove the print head cartridge, you simply flip up a blue lever and lift it out. Canon uses an interesting approach--a removable print head that accepts separate black and tri-color ink tanks. This configuration also allows you to remove those two tanks and replace them with a single high-capacity black ink tank.
Top resolution from this printer is 720 x 360 dpi and rated speeds range from 0.9 ppm for fine mode color printing, to 5 ppm for draft-mode, black text. The BJC-2000 is designed to print on a number of different media, including T-shirt transfers, greeting cards, transparencies, envelopes, and plain paper. One of the unit's most distinctive features is its optional scanning head. This inserts just like a print head and immediately turns the printer into an 8 bit, 360 dpi, sheet-fed scanner.
The BJC-2000 comes with Canon Creative Home--a software bundle with different applications that let you print greeting cards, kids' stationary, and photos, as well as perform optical character recognition (OCR) and connect to the Internet. The BJC-2000 isn't the fast ink-jet printer on the market, but its design simplicity and bargain price make it a fine choice for your home.
Pros:
- Easy to set up and use
- Flexible and economical ink tanks
- Generous software bundle
- Scanning option
- Highly affordable
Cons:
- Relatively slow print speed
- Parallel cable not included
From the Manufacturer
The BJC-2000 is incredibly compact, built for performance without taking up valuable desktop space. Prints crisp, rich black text, brilliant color, and spectacular photo output. You can even turn your BJC-2000 into a sheet-fed scanner with the optional IS-22 color image scanner cartridge. Includes Canon Creative Home Project software.

Cheap printers are ink-eaters.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Canon BJC-2000 Bubble Jet Printer (Office Product)
The Canon 2000 is a splendid worker: efficient, speedy, and compact. Its difficulty, and that of all inexpensive printers, is that it consumes the alcohol-based ink at an alarming speed. The on-line businesses which specialize in re-filling inkjet cartridges are quite correct: consumers may spend $69 on a printer, and over $400 a year on ink. Better to get a more expensive printer which conserves ink? Your move.

Good Value Printer,
By A Customer
This review is from: Canon BJC-2000 Bubble Jet Printer (Office Product)
08Aug99 I have owned my BJC-2000 printer for 3 weeks and remain quite happy with it. One of the accessories that comes with the printer that is not mentioned in the write-up is a cool little case designed to hold the ink cartridge and keep it from drying out while you are using one of the 4 optional print heads. The print head fits perfectly into the case and is compressed against a seal in the bottom when the lid is closed and squeezed down until it latches.The picture quality is very good for such a budget printer. I purchased mine primarily for text printing and am using the BC-20 black print head which has a very large tank (good for aprox. 900 pages of text) compared to the much smaller tank of black ink (good for aprox. 225 pages of text) that is on the BC-21e color print head that is included with the printer. The BC-20 prints black text faster than the color head as it has 128 nozzles for black compared to 64 black nozzles on the BC-21e. The color head has replacable color and black tanks which are cheaper to replace than buying the entire print head. The print head is very easy to replace. It just drops into a slot and a lever is pulled forward to lock it into the holder. When I purchased my printer Canon had a $30 rebate program that you might want to look into.

canon 2000 bubble jet printer,
By A Customer
This review is from: Canon BJC-2000 Bubble Jet Printer (Office Product)
Purchased this specifically for printing from our WebTv bought recently.We are very impressed with the quality andcolor on photgraphs printed. Of course regular copying is fine as well. While we would not use this for printing massive reports etc., we feel we will be very happy using it to print information from the Net occasionally. We like it so much that we are buying two for Xmas presents for our grown children... It fits under our WebTVbehind the doors in our entertainment wall unit. No clutter. It was very easy to hook up.
