Canon Pixma iP1800 Photo Inkjet Printer (1855B002) Review

I received this printer as a ‘throw-in’ when purchasing my last notebook. I wasn’t expecting that much from it, just to print the ocassional letter, report, coupon, and picture. Well I was frankly blown-away by the print quality.
For written material this is about as good as it gets. Strikingly crisp text, no bleeding ever, easy to read, outstanding. By far the best text I have ever seen on an inkjet printer. Pictures have good, deep colors although I prefer to have my pictures pritned out and have only printed a handful.
Very easy to use. Changing cartridges is literally a snap, and fairly good cartridge life. And to top it off it is energy star rated. Also this has been a solid performer for me for some time, with zero problems ever. For my next printer I will defintely have Canon at the top of the list. Just very solid quality for an entry-level printer. They could have skimped, they did not. That says something for all their lines.

Customer Reviews
just okay – sicpuppy –
The only reason I purchased this item was because I had just bought new ink cartridges for the old printer that died. Why does ink cost more than a whole new printer?
Decent print quality – Bruce S. Phung – Rochester NY
I got this printer from Walmart at a cheap price. I am happy with the print quality and don’t mind the loud noise and shake pretty good.
The disappointment I have is that this damn printer eat up ink way to fast for my liking. Eat up a set of cartrige with probably less than 100 pages. I print mostly black color. But where the hack is my color ink go? It is dry up about the same time as black ink. Like other reviewer says, sell us the cheap printer but rape us with the inks.
Update, I can’t take it any more. This printer sucks the ink dry with less than 50 pages and yes mostly printed in black color. But the color ink is dried up as well. The Cl40/41 are to expensive for 50 pages of prints. I will dump this piece of crap into the trash can soon and replace it with a color laser printer for cost effective in the long run.
Works great with envelopes! – Fenixfire077 – East Quogue, Southampton, NY – USA
This printer works great for envelopes. We are printing out nearly 100 envelopes for wedding invites, and this printer is a trooper, it keeps chugging on, and it’s really doing a great job!
On another note, I must add, we tried using our other printer, a lexmark all-in-one, and it was garbage, it jammed and destroyed our envelopes like you wouldn’t believe. I’m thinking it may have to do with the fact that the paper feeder on this printer works straight through, it doesn’t bend your paper / envelope. whereas the all-in-one tried bending the envelope before printing, so it really didn’t work that good.
I love this printer however, and my next printer will also be a Canon!
