Editorial Reviews :
For photography fans, Canon offers the S820 Photo InkJet. It's ideal for printing colorful borderless photos directly from your desktop, as it requires no special papers to achieve refined color and detail. Plus, with both USB and parallel ports, it's a suitable companion for either your Mac or PC.
The S820 uses a six-color printing process with individual ink tanks (256 x 6 nozzles) to reduce waste. Just drop in the single color cartridge you need, without having to change the others. The inks are formulated to provide lightfast images lasting up to 25 years.
Print crisp clean black and color prints at 2,400 x 1,200 dpi on a wide variety of media, including letter size, legal size, A4, A5, photo cards, No. 10 or European envelopes and banner paper. Canon claims you can print an 8-by-10-inch photo on plain paper in under two minutes and a 4-by-6 in about one minute, both in photo quality.
The unit is designed for compactness and quiet running for users seeking high-quality photo printing. Software includes the printer drivers and a BJ Solution Disk CD-ROM. The latter includes PhotoRecord for Windows, ImageBrowser for Mac, and PhotoStitch for both Windows and Mac. Canon offers a one-year limited warranty on parts and labor.
Buyer Reviews :
After recently buying a new scanner, I realised that is was time to upgrade my 6 year old Epson printer. After all, technology has advanced much in 6 years.
As a photography hobbyist, I wanted something that would match the good scanning ability of the Epson 2450 Photo scanner, which I am quite happy with. Something that would print good quality photos, without leaving the smell of chemicals hanging around the apartment. Why Canon? My research has shown that the running and maintenance costs are much lower than the other brands. Most reviews I have seen put the Canon's output quality a notch higher as well.
Pros:
- Very good photos, particularly when using Pro photo paper. Much better quality than older printers.
- Relatively lower running and maintenance cost (compared to other brands).
- Reasonably fast (fast enough for me). The more expensive siblings are faster.
- The software package is useful (but not great).
Cons:
- Black text (and photos) are not as good as laser printers, while per page cost is higher.
- Canon paper is difficult to find where I live. I don't know if the ubiquitous Epson paper will give the same results.
- Photo paper is expensive. The chemist is still cheaper for development.
- And the chemist's pics may just be sharper and more durable as well.
Summary: Buy this model for colour photos, but you'll need a cheap B&W laser if you want to print lots of documents or B&W photos.
