Woah this seems too good to be true! Have you bought it? It seems like a scam to me...

[rickstef]

i have not bought it

it comes from a pretty reputable website, Brad's Deals, and I have bought stuff through that site a couple of times, and they are legit deals.

The offer was posted over 5 days ago, and still hasn't sold out, some offers i have seen sell out hours before the email got to me

Its kind of like the $15 HP Printers that Walmart used to sell.
(I bought 3 or 4 of them in a row...they only lasted about six months and then broke.)

Its just a way to get you hooked on Ink Cartridges.
The HP Cartridges are some of the most expensive.

I'd say this is a similar tactic.
Only problem is, the HP printers came with sample cartridges.
Not full ink...but you could get a fair number of prints out of them.

These Canon printers don't come with any Ink.

And, the offer is only available to the US
otherwise I would buy one (as a spare printer)

In addition, you will get exclusive access to the Canon premium paper models.

I have the Canon Pixar 2120 and have to tell you the print quality is pretty poor when it comes to the details and color separation.

Great for scanning, copying. or documents. Not so great for Details in PDF flies. Also have never been able to get the colors to match what is on my monitor. Ink is expensive. $50 for a combo pack including extra large black and color cartridges.

You get what you pay for!

i just bought one, when I get it, I will report back

Have you received that printer? If so, what do you think of it.

I should qualify my experience with the Canon. Printing most downloaded models is not really an issue with the exception of the color variance between the monitor and the printer, quite a bit of difference. What is dissapointing is trying to print architectual models. If you can get past the "flattening" message, the details are pretty much lost. The only way I could get past that flattening message was to use Foxit Reader. Again, the details are blurred and dissapointing. I assume it is a printer issue because the details show on the monitor.

I have gotten the printer, and I have not had a chance to do the unboxing like I mentioned, work and real life have gotten in the way of that in the past couple of weeks.

(resuming this post after some two hours)

If you visit the link above, you can now get the same printer for $14 or so

I will see when I have more time to do the unboxing and set up, and maybe write up a guide to the premium kits, for those who have not explored that option with their Canon printers.

You get what you pay for! I like Hp ink cheaper and colors closer to downloads, but of course originals are better and please no comment airdave!
