- I am an owner of a BJ300.
- I am quite satisfacted of it both for the speed and the quality of the
- printout.
- Much depends on the quality of the paper you are using.
- I say 'much' because these printers work really fine provided you use
- paper of good quality.
- Paradoxically the paper sold by Canon (for laser-copyers) is poor for
- the BJs. After many experimentations I found out that Xerox 3R90008 is
- the best of all (at least in the neighbors).
-
- The only problem of Canon BJs is that they are too fast !
- I mean that when you print pages in High Quality mode, bold prints may not
- dry out in time for receiving the next page, causing sometimes spots of ink
- here and there.
- A possible solution is to set High Speed mode which uses half the ink as
- suggested for graphics characters on the manual.
-
- Anyway the quality of in HQ mode is astonishing.
- On the other hand the documentation provided is not so clear and when Canon
- claims that the BJ300 may print on A3 size sheets is telling a half-truth.
-
- In effect you can print on A3 sheets, but you can only adjust form length !
-
- If you need to really print on A3 sheets, buy a BJ330.
-
- Bye,
