Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Canon BJC-85 color bubble jet printer is an exceptional combination of lightweight portability and professional-quality desktop printing--a remarkably fast, commanding little printer, enabling you to produce letters, memos, and reports on all your excursions. The perfect companion to your desktop or laptop, both Mac and PC compatible, the Canon BJC-85 color bubble jet printer is practical for travel and use just about anywhere with its long-life battery (and optional battery pack) and the AC adapter. Plus, fast built-in infrared IrDA wireless technology lets you print without a cable connection.

Sleek size is just an introduction to the printer: documents print in crisp 720 x 360 dpi black and at a surprisingly swift speed--for a portable printer--of five pages per minute in black and white and two pages per minute in color. These rates are supported by a 30-sheet paper feed for continuous printing. The crisp and vibrant colors delivered by the Canon BJC-85 color bubble jet printer on charts, graphs, and photos are necessity, not luxury, whether you are home or away. With the addition of the optional IS-12 color image scanner cartridge you can transform the BJC-85 into a sheet-fed color scanner, which is an outstanding opportunity to gain two compact and portable machines in one.

Even with the AC adapter and optional battery included, the Canon BJC-85 weighs in at just 4.5 pounds. Printing while on the road or in the air is easy when you carry the Canon BJC-85 color bubble jet printer's impressive high quality with you. A universal power adapter, color and black ink cartridges, and a CD-ROM with printer/scanner drivers are included. Canon offers a one-year limited warranty on parts and labor with SelectExchange on the BJC-85 printer.

Product Description

BJC-85 Color Bubble Jet printer is compact, easy-to-carry and offers full desktop quality and speed, it's a total mobile office solution for businesses on the move, anywhere in the world. The BJC-85 is the fastest portable printer in its class, so you can be sure of meeting deadlines wherever you are. Printing at up to 5 pages per minute in mono, it turns out page after page of smooth, crisp and smudge-free black text to give you excellent, professional-looking documents in seconds. Color quality is also exceptional, so you can print superb presentations and reports on the go too. The Fast IrDA (FIR) port lets you print without connecting up cables. Place your PC, notebook or mobile phone next to the BJC-85 and infrared communication transfers the data direct to the printer for fast, fuss-free printouts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Small, Convenient, Works Great!!, August 10, 2000
By J. Morgan "joelmor" (Millburn, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Canon BJC-85 Portable Color Bubble Jet Printer (Electronics)
The Canon BJC-85 is a small, lightweight printer that is easy to pack and works wonderfully well. It has both parallel and USB connections for PC's or MAC's. The quality of the black text printing is very good - especially when you consider the small size and light weight of this printer. The color printing is also amazingly good. The software loads easily, and I had mine up and running in a matter of minutes attached to my laptop. You'll need to buy either a parallel or USB cable, since it isn't included. Canon has the best reputation, by far, of all the brands who make portable printers and this is their newest model. This is really a terrific little printer that is well worth the price for people on the road who need to print from their laptops.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just what I was looking for.., January 3, 2001
By Bev (Minneapolis, MN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Canon BJC-85 Portable Color Bubble Jet Printer (Electronics)
This printer is a convenient size for someone with limited desk space or for taking it with you when traveling. The battery pak mentioned that can be used with this printer is available through DELL. It may take a bit of searching to find it. Click on Printers, then look for the Canon BJC-85, then click on more details under the printer icon, then related products on the next screen. It does not state for BJC-85 but it is the correct battery pack or ask Dell for reassurance, I did! I have been very pleased with the print quality of such a small printer, even the graphics are great. For Word Processing that requires mostly black ink, use the large BCI-10 Ink Cartridge it is better than the small black tank you use with color printing. I have not been able to locate the Infrared Driver for it does anyone know where that can be acquired? I am more than pleased with this quality and size of this printer.

2.0 out of 5 stars Slow and unreliable, March 16, 2006
By Richard R. Wilk (Bloomington, IN United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Canon BJC-85 Portable Color Bubble Jet Printer (Electronics)
I have had this printer for almost four years now, and while it has saved my bacon on the road a number of times, it has also really let me down at some crucial moments. First, like a lot of older Canon printers, it is noisy and slow. It takes forever to get started on a page. But also like a lot of canons, when it is working right the output is beautiful.
But you cannot count on finding ink cartridges for this printer on the road. It also has a weird and unpleasant ink cartridge system which includes two very different little trays, and three different kinds of tank.
But what made me finally leave the thing in a hotel room was its tendency to get halfway through a print job and jam or inexplicably give an error signal. I have spent hours trying to get a clean copy of a single transparency. Very frustrating.
