Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Canon i350 Color Bubble Jet Printer delivers crisp text, simple setup, and high-quality photos from the Web—all at an exceptional value. Web photos often suffer from poor quality, so Canon specially developed Easy Webprint software to improve them (Windows only). Functioning as a toolbar in Microsoft IE, it automatically scales and smoothes pages to fit your paper properly, and allows you to format multiple pages as a single, multi-column page.

Whether you're printing from the web or your own system, your documents, letters and reports will have clean, truly black text thanks to rich pigment-based inks; with manufacturer-rated speeds up to 16 pages per minute, the i350 handily keeps pace with the needs of your home office or family. A maximum resolution of 4,800 x 1,200 dpi and MicroFine Droplet Technology combine for virtually grain-free images ready for framing or sending to friends. Color images print at up to 11 pages per minute at lower resolutions; it's just 85 seconds for a crisp, borderless 4-by-6-inch photo.

The i350 printer's compact design fits nicely into limited workspaces; with a weight of just 5.3 pounds, you'll hardly know it's there. A full software package is included to make photo printing easy manageable, and the two ink cartridges are included in the box. USB connectivity means just one cord is necessary, but you'll need to supply it yourself. Canon provides a one-year warranty with Instant Exchange service.

What's in the Box
Printer; AC power supply and cord; BCI-24 black ink tank; BCI-24 color ink tank; Setup Software and User's Guide CD-ROM including printer drivers, User's Guide and e-registration, Easy-PhotoPrint (Windows/Mac), Easy-WebPrint (Windows, requires Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.5, version 6.0 recommended); printer cable not included

From the Manufacturer

Advanced Performance, Superb Results
The Canon i350 Color Bubble Jet Printer delivers high-quality photos, crisp text and no-hassle printing from the Web without compromise. It achieves up to 16 ppm in black and up to 11 ppm in color while delivering a maximum resolution of 4,800 x 1,200 color dpi. Canon advanced MicroFine Droplet Technology uses a revolutionary nozzle system that ejects microscopic, prescribed-volume droplets with remarkable accuracy for smoother, more photo-realistic images. The i350 printer uses pigment-based black ink for bold, sharp, black text and high-intensity color inks for true-life, photographic print quality—ideal for printing your vacation photos, business presentations, or e-mails from friends and family.

Photo Printing with No Borders
The i350 printer enables you to produce edge-to-edge true borderless photos with the look and feel of traditional photographs—a unique feature for its price class. Using Canon borderless paper, you can print 4-by-6 and 5-by-7-inch borderless photos, perfect for your scrapbook, framing, or sharing memories with others. So save yourself time and a trip to the local photo mini-lab: the i350 printer can turn out a high-definition borderless 4" x 6" photo in approximately 87 seconds.

Photo and Web Printing Made Easy
Canon makes it easy to capture life's special moments with Canon digital cameras and camcorders and even easier to preserve those memories with applications like Easy-PhotoPrint. Easy-PhotoPrint software simplifies the entire process of printing borderless photos. Additionally, the software makes it simple to more faithfully reproduce the colors digitally captured by reducing "Photo Noise" and boosting color saturation with "Vivid Photo" technology.

To eliminate the hassles of web printing Canon developed Easy-WebPrint software (Windows only). Easy-WebPrint is a toolbar for Microsoft Internet Explorer that automatically scales web pages to fit the width of the paper. Web pages that might otherwise print with the right edge clipped off will now fit on your printed page with great looking background colors, too.

Features:

• Up to 16 ppm black/up to 11 ppm color
• 4-by-6 and 5-by-7-inch true borderless photos
• Up to 4,800 x 1,200 color dpi
• Software included for quick and easy printing of photos and web pages

5.0 out of 5 stars canon can!!, September 15, 2003

This review is from: Canon i350 Color Bubble Jet Printer (Office Product)

My first printer was an epsom, which when i bought it in 1998 i was very impressed. when it went to the great printshop in the sky i was looking for something cheap and cheerful to replace it as my expereince showed that all printers were expensive... not the case.
after reading a few favourable reviews i opted for the canon 350 which cost me £69 (+ £8 for a usb lead) it took me a matter of minutes to install and the results were not just great but wow. to buy a colour and black ink will cost me about £18 as opposed to the £40 or so for the epsom. only down side is that it's a little noisey compared to the epsom.

to summarise
* very cheap printer
*Excellent qaulity for any price but for £69 its as steal!
* looks good
* cheap ink
*cheap printer
* well known name
* a little noisey ( prepared to put up with it!)
*did i mention that it is cheap!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Value Printer, December 28, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Canon i350 Color Bubble Jet Printer (Office Product)

This is my second canon, my first was an i320. I only changed because I gave the i320 to my parents and I bought the i350 because it prints faster.
The set up was a breeze. I print a lot of articles from online webpages and the quality is great. I do not use it for pictures though so I cannot talk about that aspect.
What is great is that the ink lasts a while and you can get cheap refills when you need it, I usually get a generic at a local office supplies store or online whichever has the best deal going.
And finally buying it at an auction makes it an even sweeter deal since you only pay a fraction of the retail price and most come new. You do need to buy a seperate USB printer cable. You can also get it at an online auction for cheap.
Yes it is a bit noisy, it has a "pre and post printing noise", but that does not bother me since it does a good Job and saves me money.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cheap refills...til you need a print head., September 19, 2004

This review is from: Canon i350 Color Bubble Jet Printer (Office Product)

We liked this printer for it's good quality printing, and cheap ink tanks, but on the second color cartridge the magenta nozzles clogged, and I've pretty much burned all the ink in the brand new cartidges trying to get it to work. Now I wish the cartridge came with a new print head like my old worn out lexmark...

Going through Canon's interactve "troubleshooting", it seems like they don't believe the print head can fail. I've done a lot of searching tonight, and I can't seem to find replacement print heads sold anywhere...

I can't recommend this printer.
