The Pixma iP1200 was produced by Canon to cater to basic printing demands of home users. It offers affordable and convenient printing, making it an ideal companion when accomplishing everyday printing tasks. Moreover, it can print photos at a fairly good quality.

The Canon Pixma iP1200 is a basic inkjet printer. Unlike most printers, it comes only with three ink cartridges, which are still capable of producing good quality text and image copies. However, the printer is unable to reproduce a lot of diverse colors to render them properly on paper. For example, printing an image of an apple may include some hint of other colors, like yellow.

As part of the Pixma series, it still bears Canon’s fine printing technology. The 1088 nozzles on its print head and ejection of two picoliters of ink droplets allow the printer to create fine prints. The photo output, although not as superior as compared to that produced by higher models, are considerably good. Priced at $80, these features are well enough for a printer of its kind.

Aside from its remarkable printing technology, the Canon Pixma iP1200 is also durable and easy to operate printer. It has an average printing speed of 14 pages per minute for color and 20 pages per minute for black. The actual printing speed for plain text documents could be made faster with the use of an optional black ink cartridge. The additional cartridge is typically sold separately.

With proper care and handling, the Pixma iP1200 inkjet printer could last for years. It could be an ideal printer for a home user, a student, or a professional and especially for people who doesn’t know much about printers. At 42x22x12cm, the iP1200 is light and easy to carry around.

All of these features make the Pixma iP1200 an excellent choice especially for the budget-conscious consumers. It is value and versatility rolled into one.
