Printer Reviews

I'm using this product with my Canon i900D photo printer. I'm thrilled beyond words with the quality, the output (and lack of quickly drying up) that this cartridge offers. Per a prior experience (and recommendations of others), I wouldn't recommend the cheaper clone cartridge makers. Stick with this product, both for your warranty's sake, as well as minimizing your frustration level. The Canon products are worth the few extra $$ to purchase.

Although lower cost substitute ink cartridges are sold all over the web, and on this site as well, the few bucks you might save aren't worth the all-too genuine risks of replacing with generic "no-name" ink tanks. I've heard (but wouldn't wish to try it, frankly) that generic inks fade faster when exposed to daylight, could clog the print-head spray nozzles, don't spread properly on top-quality paper, and simply can't compare with the uniquely formulated dyes that have been specially researched for your printer and its matching photo papers. The one exception might be if you use a black-ink-only inkjet [hard to imagine anyone could screw up black ink]. I concur that printer manufacturers use that old hoary "razor trick" (give away the razor, profit on the blades), but with Canon's individual ink tanks -- where you replace only those tanks that run dry, you aren't out a lot. My Canon photo printer uses an array of six ink tank colors. Of these six tanks (all available on this site), 'photo cyan' and 'photo magenta' seem to be used up 2 to 3 times faster than 'black'. In other words, rather than replacing an entire set of six ink tanks, you can replace just those tanks that run empty the soonest -- thus not having to toss out a 3-ink tank [as used by HP] where 2 of the 3 remaining inks still are far from used up. Just a word of caution here - make certain that every cartridge you order from Amazon clearly states its eligibility for SuperSaver shipping. If you have to add shipping charges to this low-cost item, you could end up paying more than you would have at the local office supply store.

I have had my Canon BJC-8200 for more than a year now and I could not be happier with it. Not only does it produce photographs better than you can get developed from 35mm film it saves money while doing it. Since there are 6 separate ink tanks rather than one black ink tank and one 3-color tank; I have only to replace the tank which runs out of ink rather than one huge tank which has run out of red, but still has plenty of the other two colors.

And don't let the small size of the tanks fool you in to thinking that they will run out of ink frequently; since flow control is so precise I can print a huge pile of 4x6 pictures before the yellow or red runs out.

If you are looking for a great printer that will almost pay for itself with savings on ink; look at one of the Canon bubblejet printers with individual tanks.

This thing comes in handy, and has saved me plenty of aggravation. Granted, having a label printer is somewhat of a luxury, but I find it very useful.

How many times have you needed to reinstall an OS, but forgot where the manual was with that damn key? Or if you are like me, the CDROM and CD case invariably gets separated at some point-especially with games that require the CDROM to play.

I always loose CD software key codes. I also tend to loose CD cases with the key stickers. Or worse, I've purchased and downloaded software, only to see my hard drive crash months later. Have you ever tried to contact a company like Intuit to get a copy of software that you purchased a year ago and get a key? It is a lesson in futility and frustration.

I'm much more organized now. I now burn a CD-R with downloaded software and label it with the unlock code, then store it elsewhere. I print a label with the CD key on original CDROMs, throwing away the case, and placing it with all my other CDs in an organizer binder. I also throw away the cardboard boxes that contain the games (or applications). My work area isn't so cluttered anymore.

Also great for legibly labeling file manila file folders.

Stock up on AA batteries, it uses six.

this is a really great machine but it is only 19.99 at office depot

At first I bought this product to help me keep orginized at school. It was the cheepest one I could find, and took almost all forms of refills. What strted out as a school product, soon became one of extreme fun. It is great for making signs and than sticking them on peoples backs. VERY FUN, A VERY VERY VERY GREAT DEAL!!!!!!!

this replacement cartridge works perfectly and is a LOT cheaper, making it a good buy

The dataproduct black compatible cartridge for the Epson Stylus Color 760 is awesome. The ink is just as good as Epson's at a fraction of the cost. I bought one after I went through the cartridge that came with the printer and had no problems. I have owned the printer for a year and went to refilling after 6 months but for the first five months I used these cartridges and can say they are well worth the money. I still use these cartridges when refilling. A good investment and saves lots of money over the expensively priced epsons. They don't cause clogging like other cheap compatible cartridges and the black produced from them is just as good as the epson's if not better.

I love the replacement cartridges and especially the price. I've had difficulty shopping at both CompUSA and MicroCenter, since they never have the cartridges in stock, so I went to the Dataproducts website and was disappointed that I couldn't get the cartridges in question on line through them. I find the cartridges of good quality and am at least as satisfied as if using Epson products, which are overpriced.

For the past year or so, I had been noticing that my old HP LaserJet 5MP was taking longer and longer to print. Of course, the fact that my documents have been getting progressively more complex probably had something to do with it...but I'll choose to blame the printer. Finally fed up with my circa-1995 printer, I started the search to replace it. I looked at a lot of different units, but finally decided on the 4100N. I've used these in the business world, but wanted something that could deal with a fairly high-volume home office printing requirement, was fast, and had great print quality.

In a nutshell, the 4100N fulfilled all my requirements and then some. Setup was a breeze - just open the box, take out the printer, remove the packing materials, put the toner cartridge in (piece of cake), put in a ream of paper, plug in to power and network and turn it on. On the Windows XP side, just put the CD in the drive and push the install button. The install software even automatically scans the HP site for updates. That's it! The thing automatically grabbed a DHCP address from my router, the install software took care of all the driver installation, etc. and I'm ready to go.

The speed and print quality of this thing is amazing. I use this Georgia Pacific ink jet paper that has a brightness rating of 94 and a weight of 24 and was blown away by the results. We're talking professional quality output at a rate that won't make you wait. Envelope printing is a breeze and, worked perfectly the first time I tried it. True, this unit does not have a page duplex feature (print on both sides), but I seldom would use this feature that typically adds considerable price and complexity to the equation.

The HP LaserJet 4100N gets my highest recommendation.

This printer is so easy to install, I just left the option on
for DHCP and within seconds our Wk2 and linux systems were
cranking out the print jobs. The built in web server and HP's
Web Jet Admin are a breeze to use. The 500 sheet paper
capacity means I dont spend most of my time reloading the paper
tray!! When I need to print on special media types, I just pop
open the front tray load and print, no fussing with changing the
paper out in the main tray. The 10000 documents per toner

cartride is a spectacular value which really becomes obvious when
those print jobs start flowing through with over 250 copies at
25 ppm and the toner indicator on the web page does not even
move.. wow!!! what a printer!!!

For the best in all round small workgroup printing (3 to 20 people), this is the perfect printer -- it works well with everything from MS-DOS and Windows to Unix, Apple, and even the IBM AS/400. It will continue to run 24 X 7 with little maintenance required. I have used this model and its predecessors (4050N, 4000N, etc.) in a hospital environment for over 5 years and the most serious repairs needed were a scheduled maintenance kit change (easy to do if you can use a screwdriver and read directions) and several paper jam incidents which are traceable to "wet" paper. (If you open a ream of paper, use it now; don't leave it on a shelf for 6 months.) The print quality is excellent for all general purpose business papers. If you want color and are picky about graphics, look to the Xerox Phaser. Also, I have no complaints about speed; again on normal business papers, you will not have to stand around and wait on these printers. As to suggestions for improvement: If you are going to use the printer in an AS400 or Unix environment, use HP's download manager(another excellent free product from HP!) to update "flash" the BIOS of the printer to latest versions. Lastly, if you are going to run a lot of paper or different sizes/weights through the printer, I would suggest you look at the HP Laserjet 4100tn instead.

Color laser jet 4500 has consistently been dependable with good color rendition and nice crisp fonts. The printer was easy to install and works well in a network situation. At first I was worried about the cost of color printing and concerned about having to replace the color cartriges frequently. Constant color cartrige replacement is why I hated the ink jet printer. I am over 8,000 pages, most with color pictures and only now am I replacing the drum and the black cartrige. The only negative I have is the excessive warm up time. Good printer

I am a long-time fan of HP printers. Their laser printers are durable and dependable - definitely worth the investment. The Color LaserJet 4500 is no exception. This is my first color laser printer & it's hard not to be excited about the print quality. It is infinitely better than the inkjets. It enables you to turn out a very professional product without going to an outside print shop.

The color that prints out is absolutely picture perfect. We used this printer to make our brochures. It was really worth the cost.

It's a great toner cartridge for the HP 1100 series printers. As far as I know, it's the only option for said printers. Mine has lasted through about 18 months of regular home use (several thousand pages) without running out. I recommend ordering one when your old cartridge starts to show signs of running out, so you don't have to run out and search for one when you have something urgent that you need to print.

Best printer I ever had and this is the best price for this toner cartridge.

This toner cartridge is easy to replace and provides a crisp dark consistent print every time. It also comes with a UPS shipping label for free return to be recycled. Great idea!

If you have kids this is the way to go. These inks refills are half the price as the Cannon's. Now I don't complain and let my kids print print print!!

I ordered this because the Amazon link showed BCI-3eC instead of BCI-3C as a suggested item. On the order page I didn't notice it was for the BJ6000 and not the S450 -- BUT IT WORKS! I have been using the Nectron cartridges in my S450 and love saving money on the reams of color graphics I print and my kids print too!

This ink cartrigde is the best to me. It last long it has alot of colors. It even looks nice, well this ink is very prescious so use it wisely well. You should get it.

This product is a perfect "Or Equal" to the name brand Epson series cartridge, at less cost. Vibrant colors trhoughout the scale.

I can not tell the difference from Epson's own cartridges,

RHINOTEK ink prints better than Epson. I am an amateur photographer and I buy ink constantly. I have tried other alternatives in the past - but nothing worked that well. My photography instructor told me about RHINOTEK as that's all he uses. That was good enough for me and I was elated when I saw the quality of the color saturation. Plus- I'm saving money!

I think this label printer is tops. I've worked with sheets of labels through a printer, the DYMO label printer, but this one is really tops. It's easy to use, fun, and you can print out one label at a time as needed or 50. The ease and versatility make it a favorite in the office. Switching among file folder labels, address labels, and shipping labels is a task that has become simplified via this machine.

The only drawback I have is that the Seiko labels are thermal and fade after 1 year. I haven't seen anything to replace these, either, but have mentioned my concern to the manufacturer.

The Smart Label Printer 200 is a dream come true. The software is very easy to use, and the labels that are printed are just awesome. Talk about fast... much faster printing that I was expecting. This is one of life's "must have" luxury items. If you are in business for yourself (Like I am), this printer, and the ability to produce beautiful quality labels which can be used for a variety of purposes requiring "stickers" is a must. I would most highly recommend this label printer to anyone.

This nifty little printer is an amazing timesaver and a really useful tool. I'm constantly setting up files for my office or making mailing labels, etc. I used to use the Avery page sized labels, but would end up wasting so many because I only needed one or a few labels. This machine will print the labels as you need them! No more piling up lists of labels and saving them up until you have enough. No more using up a whole sheet of labels for just one label. This machine is extremely easy to use. It has many different fonts to choose from. It will automatically shrink the font size to fit the label if you have lengthy text. You can add graphics, frames, etc. Its software saves the labels, so that you can just click and print on often used labels. One piece of advice -- I would definitely purchase at least the SLP200 (I think there might be an even newer one out there...) I've had both the 100 and the 200. The 200 prints quicker and cleaner and has more options. It also will print both the 1 and 2 inch labels. The difference between the two models is huge and well worth the money. Happy printing!
