Canon i70 Color Bubble Jet Printer

The machine was shipped to me with no power or printer cables in the box. Also, although the Amazon web site represented the printer as being new, there were used ink cartridges already installed.Fortunately, as I was replacing my existing I 70 that I have had for over 7 years, the same cables worked.It would be nice to receive an adjustment from Amazon.Gary Skelton

The UPS shipping was on target for the 1 day shipping service, and was well worth the extra money. I felt like a kid opening up the UPS box, then the printer box. Then after carefully installing the printer (I already had a USB cord) and software per Canon's instructions, I gave that little toy a test and man was I impressed! I've been using an old BCJ-250 for about 5 years now and didn't realize what an updated printer can do. I know I may have to refill my ink cartridges a bit more often but I mainly use my printer for online reciepts, news letters and emails so I should be fine. I'm not a professional photographer but was very happy with the photo results I got out of the printer. Not bad for not being listed as a "Photo Printer" I think. I know, everyone's different, but I would highly recomend this printer. Especially to people who don't like clutter like me. That design is awsome and ironically matches my desktop computer, and scanner in color.

I loved this printer due to how very sturdy and strong it is. It was totally enclosed as well. It actually could be tossed onto back car seat or used easily in and out of duffle bag, etc. air or bus traveling and not need a carry case. Nothing inside moves around - All is very intact inside and out.Unfortunately, I had to return because the full amount of accessories were not present and very difficult to get separately. Unfortunately was not able to use it.

Ink dries out too fast

Very disappointed. My Canon i70 had a driver problem ( ratatatattattatatat ) The printer I got from the seller (on time) has the same rattattatatatt.I had high hopes. When this printer works, it does a good job. I don't know what to do now. Can you help me? Sharon Lower

I had a Canon i70 stop working on me and to get it repaired would cost much more than getting a new printer. I found this item online to replace my dead one and have been happy with it ever since!

My husband was going to a two-week writer's workshop, and needed a printer to bring along. We bought a Canon i70 bubble jet printer, even though it cost considerably more than most low-end printers. We haven't regretted the purchase for a moment.The printer has two strong marks in its favor:* It weighs only 7 pounds. It's also about the size of a hardback novel, and slid right into his iBook-and-computer backpack. (Other people had to ship a box, complete with styrofoam and packing tape.)* The ink cartridges cost $11 each. (Amazon's likely to cut the dollar amount, so I'll also point out this costs less than two fast-food dinners.)At the relatively low ink price, we assumed that the printer would go through ink faster than I can eat a box of Lindt chocolate truffles. So we made sure to get a second cartridge before he left. To his surprise, a single ink cartridge lasted the entire two weeks -- even though he went through an entire ream of paper. (Not single-spaced with lots of fonts, and no color to speak of, but that's still pretty impressive.)Note, however, that the i70 doesn't hold a lot of sheets at a time. That wasn't a criteria for the traveling printer (and we have a color laser at home, so it doesn't get much use off-the-road), but it might matter to you.To be honest, we haven't done any real color printing on it yet, other than to test that it worked. So I can't speak to that. However, it's certainly fast.Bottom line: if you need a truly portable printer, I don't think you'll do better than this. While plenty of other inkjets are light enough that, yeah, if you had to bring it along you COULD, the Canon i70 is easy enough to grab and stuff in your luggage. You'll take it along without a second thought.

I am returning the item. Hopefully I will get a refund. These items are best purchased brand new. thank you
