3.0 out of 5 stars Good Value Printer, June 10, 2000

By	"gottliebschaller" (Orlando, FL USA) - See all my reviews

I bought my Canon BJC-2100 about a month ago as a stop-gap. My old printer had died, and I was a little tight on money.

I have been very satisfied with this printer in the time that I have had it. Canon seems to have made some improvements over the BJC-2000, most notably the separate cartridges for black&white and color. I did a little checking before I bought this, and the black&white replacement cartridges only cost about $10 (compared to over $30 for some other printers) while the color cartridge (all colors are in this one...there are no separate color wells) was about $25.

This printer has given me very acceptable results. Quality has been fine, but not spectacular. Speed is OK, and I have not had to worry about any paper mis-feeds....

The Canon BJC-2100 has done good work for me so far.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice Job, June 24, 2000

By	"kidquick" (Virgina) - See all my reviews

I thought when i bought this little printer it was just going to be "ok." Well, i was pleasantly suprised when i noticed the output. Its not terribly fast but when im working its prints out just fine as i go along. i get the same black quality out of it as i do with my EXPENSIVE Hp. the color quality is great for 90% of my documents and photos. for [the money] you cannot go wrong with this one. its even small enough to take on the road and use in the hotel. Ink use is average and costs are about the same. the cartridges may look small but the are filled to the max. its a great buy for anyone.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great For Printing Text -, December 29, 2000

By A Customer

Although I don't suggest it for photos, or graphics. I went from the old canon 240 to the canon 2100 when the old one gave up on me. I was told by sales that this printer would not be the best photo printer - but that they would turn out better.

When I tried to print photos they came out almost as bad as the 240. Thinking I had probably messed up, I took it back and made the tech guy try it - needless to say, I left the printer at the store.

-! If your trying to print nothing but text, this printer is fast, and will get the job done. I noticed it printed text fast and it looked ok. Just don't do logo's, photos, and small graphics... :)
