Canon Pixma iP2850 Driver & Software Download

All in one printer is constantly popular when it comes to home printing, but some users still want and need a single function printer. Since they have fewer components, a single function printer costs less and takes up less space.

At less than £ 40, you will definitely be hard pressed to find an MFP that beats the price of a single function Canon Pixma iP2850. It's a small, white, slightly thin printer that looks a bit old-fashioned but occupies a gratifyingly little counter space with a folded tray. There is no lip in the output tray, but we are happy to find that the printed page does not drop off the end or slip out of sequence.

We're used to budget printers that are less capable than their more expensive counterparts, but iP2850 is missing some of the features we take for granted from inkjet printers. The most notable of these is the lack of borderless photo printing on the size. Granted, we would not recommend dual-cartridge, this four color printer ink system for photos at the best of times, but it would have been nice to have the option. It's also worth noting that the photo paper support paper only includes 6x4in ​​papers; You can not select photo paper as an option if you have also opted for A4 paper size.

The iP2850 has pigment-based black ink cartridges and tri-color cartridges for dye-based inks. Tri-color cartridges often appear on inexpensive printers and MFIs, but note that if any you have to replace the entire cartridge if one of the colors runs out. The XL cartridge is available, which should provide 400 black and 300 page colors. We have calculated the color mixture of our average page printing costs of 11.6p and the 3.7p steep mono cost based on the XL cartridges.

Although the combined cartridge color system is often regarded as of inferior quality than their respective ink counterparts, we are pleased with the professional, clean looking monochrome text and color print documents of printers. We have to look very closely at our standard monochrome text print quality to see flaws in all letters, while quality text prints have thin letters but only a few jagged edges are visible on circular letters. Draft mode saves ink, but it does not actually print faster. Printing our standard quality text is really a few seconds faster, resulting in 7.1ppm print speed versus 7ppm speed design. The color of our printed articles is strongly illustrated, the graphics and web pages look great, with sharp lines, fine shading and accurate colors. Small 8pt serif and sans serif fonts are also clearly legible.
