Amazon.com Product Description
The Canon BJC-85 color bubble jet printer is an exceptional combination of lightweight portability and professional-quality desktop printing--a remarkably fast, commanding little printer, enabling you to produce letters, memos, and reports on all your excursions. The perfect companion to your desktop or laptop, both Mac and PC compatible, the Canon BJC-85 color bubble jet printer is practical for travel and use just about anywhere with its long-life battery (and optional battery pack) and the AC adapter. Plus, fast built-in infrared IrDA wireless technology lets you print without a cable connection.

Sleek size is just an introduction to the printer: documents print in crisp 720 x 360 dpi black and at a surprisingly swift speed--for a portable printer--of five pages per minute in black and white and two pages per minute in color. These rates are supported by a 30-sheet paper feed for continuous printing. The crisp and vibrant colors delivered by the Canon BJC-85 color bubble jet printer on charts, graphs, and photos are necessity, not luxury, whether you are home or away. With the addition of the optional IS-12 color image scanner cartridge you can transform the BJC-85 into a sheet-fed color scanner, which is an outstanding opportunity to gain two compact and portable machines in one.

Even with the AC adapter and optional battery included, the Canon BJC-85 weighs in at just 4.5 pounds. Printing while on the road or in the air is easy when you carry the Canon BJC-85 color bubble jet printer's impressive high quality with you. A universal power adapter, color and black ink cartridges, and a CD-ROM with printer/scanner drivers are included. Canon offers a one-year limited warranty on parts and labor with SelectExchange on the BJC-85 printer.

5 out of 5 stars Canon BJC-85, great little printer   August 24, 2008
This is a great printer for a great price! Very portable, reliable, great quality. Not the fastest ink jet in the world, but that's not the priority. If your second office is the coffee shop, you will love this little printer.


5 out of 5 stars Great tool for the portable office   March 4, 2008
As soon as I got this printer, I knew I was in love. My company gave me the updated P90 but I never use it. I like the fact that you can put in a black only printhead, thus saving time and money replacing just the little black ink tank. I also use the IS12 scanner to scan and copy documents. I also have the battery kit, which makes me completely wireless! Overall a great printer at an excellent price.


1 out of 5 stars Great, while it lasted   February 18, 2008

I bought a BJC-85 used last year for taking to court with me. I used it once. I was tickled! Its stayed in my office since then, as I've had to reason to use it. When I did, it kept giving me an error message. I took it out yesterday to try to figure out what was wrong: I get an error about an incorrect cartridge or some such nonsense. It had the canon black cartridge in it. The same one it printed from last time. So I am not a happy camper. I actually tried putting a new cartridge in, with same result. When I can get the cartridge button to actually make it move the cartridge to the middle to have access.

I use this printer while working away from a desk. You can take it anywhere you take your laptop and it gives you professional, crisp, quality colored documents.

The printer is light-weight and the color cartridges are reasonably priced.

Totally functional. I literally work while in bed with my laptop and this printer. And this printer will fit in any laptop bag.

An excellent quality printer for the size, weight, maintenance and upkeep value.



2 out of 5 stars A real pain to get it to work   October 12, 2007
 2 out of 3 found this review helpful

I purchased two of these on Ebay just to get one complete working unit. I can't say I'm too pleased with it. It's noisy and does an awful lot of clicking and clacking to start, print a page, or shut down. The error light seems to come on too often, and figuring out what's wrong with it is a real challenge. The cartridge replacement is a hassle and if you're not fast enough the cartridge returns to its home position and won't come back out. The combination of buttons you need to push to get it out again is ridiculous (e.g., one of the steps involves pushing the cartridge button 16 times! No kidding!) The battery dies in a few days even if the printer is turned off; I guess there's some power consumption even when it's off. Besides, it's about twice the size and weight of the BJC-50. Let's just say, I'm still looking for a solution to my portable printing needs.
