too much trouble2007-12-09
We had this printer for about 3 years. When it is working well, it works well. On the other hand, a small amount of dust in the printer caused horrible smudging and ruined photos. Impossible to clean. No instructions for cleaning the inside of the printer to stop smudging. I managed to wipe some out with my finger the first time, but that didn't last long as now it is doing it again and I can't see anything in there (yes we close the covers on a regular basis), so must be something stuck on the print head itself. No way to get under there. Also we have had to constantly realign this thing for some reason, and visible lines were a problem. We aren't computer experts, just regular people who want to print at home without problems. This printer has too many issues. Also it takes a long time to get going when you are waiting to print something and is very noisy.
5-stars well deserved!2007-09-14
The Canon i850 photo printer deserves to be in the spotlight. It is an amazing consumer product. I bought this printer 5 years ago, and not only has it been reliable, it still prints photos just as well as all the new printers out there.

This is great for anyone, it not only prints photos, but it does a great job with regular documents; it prints them in seconds! I haven't seen such speed in some of the top of the line consumer printers!

Canon printers are amazing, especially this part of the "i" series!
One of the best inkjet printers out there!2007-08-31
The Canon i850 hits the price-point sweet spot & delivers value consistently. I bought mine new in 2002 & it still works perfectly after 5 years of use.

It's good to see that a used one is now worth more than what I paid for it back then, but given the quality and reliability of this printer, I don't see when I'd ever sell it.

Ultimately, if you're in the market for an inkjet, get this one if you can.
Excellent Printing2005-11-29
This was my first photo printer and I still tend to compare other models to this one. The print quality and speed on Canon Photo Paper is excellent. Having individual tanks has been a blessing. I've actually run into situations where the yellow runs out while all other colors are still usable. Even regular printing jobs are done admirably well.
worked for just about 15 months2005-06-21
The printer head has to be replaced, it worked for almost 15 months. Also bought a Canon G3 digital camera for $600 that quit working at 13 months, conveniently when just out of warranty. Canon wants $185 to just look at the camera- repairs possibly more $. Canon has horrible customer service- buyer beware!
