5 out of 5 stars Great ink. Non-chipped tanks.......2006-12-21

I love canon. They don't install chips on the ink carts that flasely report when the tank is empty. So with canon you get to use ALL the ink you paid for.

            Product Description

            Canon's BJC-3000 Color Bubble Jet Printer is yet another fine product in the line of reliable Canon inkjets suitable for office or home use. With a built-in USB and parallel port, it is easy to connect to your Macintosh or PC, and you'll be up and running and receiving quality prints in no time.The BJC-3000 even offers unique and convenient features like an optical low-ink sensor to let you know when you're running low on ink. And Canon's Think Tank System puts each color of ink in individual tanks, letting you replace each color separately, and reducing both waste and cost. In addition, the inks are moisture and light resistant, ensuring that your images will remain vivid and clear.

            Amazon.com Product Description

            The Canon BJC 3000 color bubble jet printer is an inexpensive and lightweight compact printer that also provides fast, professional-quality desktop printing. You can print crisp text and true colors on photo paper, transparencies, A4, legal, and more. With its sleek design and built-in USB and parallel ports (both Macintosh- and PC-compatible), the BJC 3000 is a fine companion for your desktop or laptop computer.

            Documents print with a keen 1,440 x 720 dpi resolution at six pages per minute for black and four pages per minute for color, rates supported by a 100-sheet paper feed for continuous printing. The printer handles all business stationary and envelopes, plus photo paper, glossies, and transparencies, for all of your graphic needs. There is also a reassuring optical sensor that sends you a message when ink is running low. The Canon BJC weighs in at just 12 pounds, light enough that you'll be tempted to think of it as a portable printer.

            Setup and installation are smooth and easy with the Canon Quick Start Guide, though the ink cartridge does require several steps because each color tank is installed separately. An online user's reference is also available if you need further assistance. The BJC 3000 comes with an AC power adapter, color and black ink cartridges, and a Canon Creative CD-ROM. Canon offers a one-year limited warranty on parts and labor for the Canon BJC 3000, and a 24-hour, 7-days-a-week toll-free customer technical support line.

            2 out of 5 stars It prints... but it could be better.......2003-03-28

            The main drawback of this printer is Canon's design for getting ink to the print head. Because the ink has to seep through a sponge to get to the print head, the amount of ink flow is limited. For instance, if you were to print something that had, say, heavy black in one area, it would print okay for the first few lines, but much more than that and it'll start leaving blank streaks across your paper where there wasn't enough ink to feed the print head... effectively ruining your print. Also, it seems that the print heads get dirty quickly, as I have to run the print head cleaning program about once every two weeks.

            5 out of 5 stars BJC 3000 printer is a tremendous value.......2002-10-16

            I think some of the reviews for this printer are misleading. For the money, this is a terrific printer. It is very versatile and prints at a nice speed with exceptional resolution for a 1440 dpi inkjet printer. Higher resolution for most people is not needed because their eyes are not that good. This printer does a very acceptible job on photos and can not be beat for nice clear crisp text. You can spend three or four time the money on other printers and not get what you get with a BJC 3000. Canon consistently produces fine products. Worth every dollar.

            1 out of 5 stars There is a defect with BJC-3000!.......2002-01-17

            I bought this printer about a year ago, and it worked OK except large noise (even not in printing). The printer started working abnormally since last week. Every time I clicked "print", the computer was forced to restart and "printing" was stopped in the middle. I checked all relevant softwears, as well as tech support from Canon, and didn't find anything wrong. In the end, I gave up. I bought an Epson printer, and it works great in my computer.

            2 out of 5 stars ok but not worth the money.......2001-12-28

            i have had this printer for almost 3 years and have not been happy. The color is not very good at all, It is extremly loud, and shakes so bad it rocks my hole desk!! Not good at all if you want to print pictures unless they are really tiny( bad resolution) the cannon site is hard to find support and when you do there is no infomation that helps which means you have to call tech supprt and you know what fun that can be!! Which i did and after staying on hold for a hour they hung up on me!!
            Get an epson. comparable prices for better quality...that is what i did and am glad i did it!!

            4 out of 5 stars Great little printer!.......2000-11-05

            I've used HP Deskjet printers for years and just recently decided to upgrade. My son needs a color printer so he got the HP-693c and I bought a Canon BJC-3000. My biggest complaint about the HP's was the single color cartridge - run out of one color and you have to throw the entire cartridge away. Not so with the BJC-3000.

            I've had good results with the graphics and printed some photo-quality images using Kodak InkJet photo paper. You have to do some adjustments of the settings to get things right, but the results are very good once that is done.

            The major complaint I have is the noise coming out of this thing! It isn't bad while printing, but during initialization and after printer a few sheets, it goes into a mode where it sounds like it is coming apart. All ink jet printers do this, but this one is especially noisy.

            3 out of 5 stars You get what you pay for........2001-06-16

            If you want to print more than one item at a time you have to wait till the first item is completly done printing. There is no multi-tasking with this unit. I aligned the cartridges like the manual told me yet words are split in half. It works, it's cheap, it makes a lot of noise, when your not using it it's making noise and doing something over there.

            5 out of 5 stars It Sounds Better than BOSS.........2007-08-19

            I own this speaker system and I LOVE IT!!!
            I think it sounds better than Boss system or at least same level with the Boss but at low cost.
            You don't need to buy expensive & fancy sound system. If you get this, I don't think you will regreat it.
            Only thing that I don't like is that cleaning clothes parts (the black parts are not plastic or whatever. it is very thin fabric. Therefore, you might need to take it easy when you clean or dust) of the speakers. Overall, you will be happy of this speakers and it will look very nice in your livingroom... :)

            5 out of 5 stars Onkyo SKS-HT240 Speakers.......2007-06-15

            I just bought a Sharp HDTV, Onkyo AV(674)receiver, Oppo DVD player and the Onkyo SKS-HT240 speakers. These speakers are by far and away the smartest thing I bought in this setup. The sound is terrific and the speakers are very attractive. Highly recommend you consider them.

            5 out of 5 stars Great Speakers.......2007-03-24

            These are great speakers for my home theater system. They are definitely worth the price.

            5 out of 5 stars Optimum blend of price & performance.......2007-02-06

            I spent a great deal of time researching a home theater system that fit my requirements. Online reviews were the single largest source of information and the biggest input to my decision. I'm hoping this review will aid someone in the same manner in the future.

            First, a few words about my situation - we have a largish (20 X 20 X 25) family room with a 50 inch DLP (a Samsung HL-R5067W) in a corner. The room has large floor-to-ceiling glass windows on the right side, solid walls on two sides, and an open back, which overlooks the kitchen area. In short, a difficult acoustic situation. I needed a system that could fill this large space with sound, yet be crisp enough for dialogues. Plus, this was going to be our main music system as well, so it had to do a good job with music CDs and MP3s, with a large mix of genres and styles.

            Since this is the family room (roamed by our curious 2 yr old, with spillover noise from the kitchen etc), we didn't want to spend the world either. The understanding was that we'd budget about $1000 for this system, reserving the future 'media room' for the _really_ good system.

            Other requirements were: speakers should be medium sized (not as small as bose, but not large either), preferably in silver.

            As mentioned earlier, I looked at many systems online, ranging from HTIB systems (Home Theater in a Box) to separate speakers that ran to hundreds of dollars each. We went to Best Buy, Flanners, American etc to listen to some setups, comparing Denon, Yamaha, Sonys and eventually this Onkyo set.

            This Onkyo set has almost a 'perfect' review everyplace you see them online. That's what really made me take notice. And when I actually listened to them at American TV, they beat everything comparable, and then some. So we bought them online (from Vanns.com, actually), and haven't regretted them for a moment.

            They do have a couple issues - one, and this is highly subjective, is that I don't care for the stainless steel top, bottom and linings (a little too flashy for our taste). They are a little on the large side, with the subwoofer being pretty big. Also, more importantly, you'll need a few tweaks to get them to play up to their full potential. But that's about it.

            As many others have attested before me, the sound from movies will change your movie reviews, and to really top it all, Dave Matthews sounds like he's pretty much sitting in my family room (well, I'm exaggerating, but only a little). The subwoofer is beyond good - it produces a low rumble that's almost visceral.

            I paired these speakers with an Onkyo TX-SR574S receiver, and the results are delightful. You will need a good receiver so that you can change the sound levels and distance to different speakers individually. I needed to do that before they started sounding really good. You also will need good, thick speaker cables. Not Monster cable - they are a waste of money - but good (16 gauge at least) speaker wire and a better subwoofer cable than what comes with the set.

            The entire set cost me about $700, including $100 for good cables. So we have $300 left over for a HTPC I'm building.

            And now for the most important measure of all - my wife, who hates sci-fi movies, sat through 'The Fifth Element' from the beginning to the end, including the credits. This one's a keeper.


            5 out of 5 stars I love them too!.......2007-02-06

            Although I don't have much to add compared to the other reviews, I wanted to chime in to indicate I think these are great speakers for the price. I've had them installed in my home theatre in my basement for the last two years. Hooked up to an Onkyo AV receiver and DVD player, Xbox, and Cable TV, I have been very happy with the sound. I'd consider myself an "average" homeowner. I've got a 42" plasma TV kind of a setup. Unless you are VERY selective about your sound, I think most anyone would be very happy with these speakers. The subwoofer seems to be of high quality... I noted at that time (2 yrs ago) that this seemed to be a point of weakness with some other speaker sets -- folks weren't happy with the highs & lows of some home theatre speakers. These seem to perform very well with the full range in my opinion... again, from the point of view of an "average" person.
