Canon BJC-6100 Printer Review

Due to a compact size of 18x11x7 inches and the ability to produce low volumes, the Canon BJC-6100 will work best as a desktop printer in a home. Its print speeds of only 9 pages per minute for black-and-white documents and 6 pages per minute in color, for example, make this inkjet printer best used in a slow-paced environment. Various other features will best benefit users in these environments, including low yielding printer ink and a small media capacity.

Looking first at its printer ink system, the device operates with color Canon BJC-6100 ink cartridges that have yields of only 420 pages and a black that can yield 720 prints. Users who purchase this unit and proceed to print large volumes frequently will be spending large amounts of money on replacement Canon BJC-6100 ink cartridges. To save money on supplies users can purchase compatible Canon BJC-6100 ink from third parties, which is less expensive than genuine forms without sacrificing any quality.

A total media handling capacity of only 100 sheets also makes the BJC-6100 best fit for a single user. However, there is great versatility in the media the device accepts, including high-gloss paper, post cards, glossy paper, envelopes, fabric, photo paper, high-gloss fill and transparencies. The unit can also accept a variety of sizes, including a maximum of 8.5x14 inches. If users are printing on any type of the accepted paper, the machine can produce both full-color and black-and-white documents with a maximum resolution of 1400x720 dpi using Canon BJC-6100 ink.

When connecting to a computer, users have a couple of different options including a USB port and parallel port. Due to low yielding printer ink and slow speeds, this inkjet printer is used best by those working from home and looking for a quality low volume machine.
