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!

Buy Canon i350 Color Bubble Jet Printer Now

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.

I have both the i250 and the i350. The i250 print head failed after 3 months of use (blank lines in the middle of words), but was still under warranty, so I managed to persuade Canon to send me a new print head. BTW, the print head costs about $45 to $50... almost the same as cost of the printer. Next, I upgraded to the i350. This time, the print head took 8 months to fail...same problem. I regard these as disposable printers, nothing more. They work great until the print heads fail.

Want Canon i350 Color Bubble Jet Printer Discount?

I bought this printer because it was getting good reviews and was very inexpensive. When I recieved the printer the box had a giant hole in it and the packaging in the inside was broken but the printer looked fine. Set up is extremely easy and impossible to screw up. So I was very suprised when the printer was showing that there was an error with the ink cartriges. I called Canon and after a few minutes they determined that there was some sort of hardware problem. They sent a brand new printer which arrived the next day. The second one set up in a couple of minutes and works perfectly. Also I ended up with extra ink cartriges because the only thing Cannon wanted back was the printer and print head. The printer works great (a little noisey and slow, but inexpensive) and Canon had excellent customer service. I suspect that the printer was damaged during delivery and not during manufacturing.

In our household we have both an i350 and an i250. On both we like the print quality and ease of use. The i250 does sometimes need to be set on high quality printing to get a good looking Word document out of it. Never had that problem with the i350.

Only complaint; these less expensive ink cartridges are smaller than I am used to and seem to require replacement more frequently. The price when I first puchased this was around $7 for a black cartridge. It has increased by over a dollar so I have begun to purchase Staple''s private label brand cartridges.

One other word of advice; this printer uses Canon''s BCI-24 cartridge, which is a little more difficult to find in local stores than their more common BCI-21 cartridge. It''s frustrating to see a great buy on cartridges at BJ''s Wholesale Club, only to realize that the only Canon they stock is the 21.
