Canon BJC-85 is designed for people who are always on the move. It can be carried easily in a shoulder bag along with your laptop computer. The printer is about 12 inches wide, 6 inches deep and only 2 inches thick and weights around 3.4 pounds. The BJC-85 brings together lightweight portability with professional quality printing.
The BJC-85 features a resolution of 720x360 dots per inch and has a speed of two prints per minute in color and five prints per minute in black and white. This is in addition to a 30-sheet paper feed to offer continuous printing. By adding up the optional IS-12 scanner cartridge, you can convert your BJC-85 into a color sheet-fed scanner and thus benefit from two compact, portable devices in one.
The BJC-85 is a perfect choice for travel. The long-life battery, AC adapter and optional battery pack will allow you to print just about anywhere. Furthermore, integrated infrared IrDA Fast wireless technology doesn’t require a cable connection to print. All you need is to print your laptop or cell phone next to the printer and infrared communications will transfer the data directly to the printer for fast, trouble-free printouts. The printer includes a CD containing the required drivers, a universal power adapter as well as color ink cartridges. As with any other Canon printer, the BJC-85 comes with a 1-year warranty on parts and service.
The Canon BJC-85 comes with a price tag of $299, which may appear to be quite high, particularly for an ink jet printer with this print quality and speed. This high price may be attributed to outstanding portability that the printer offers. The other major downside to the BJC-85 is the price of ink. A single black text page may cost you as high as 8.1 cents (you can bring this down to 4.3 cents per print using high-yield black alternative), whereas a color prints may cost around $17.2 per print.
To sum up, the existing price the BJC-85 may be a good option for a traveling businessman who need a compact, easy to carry printer in order to be sure to meet deadlines wherever they are. This tiny printer can fit well inside the pocket, needs no ink and is ideal for people on the go. However, it’s slow printing speed and ordinary print quality makes them not so suitable for all users and hence other Canon printers may be more suitable.
