Buy Cheapest Printer, Canon Pixma, at Future Bazaar

Future Bazaar India is offering one of the cheapest printers ever from Canon. The price of this printer is just Rs. 1199 as opposed to its original price of Rs. 1995. The name of this printer is Canon PIXMA IP1300 A4 Bubble Jet Printer.

I was planning to buy a printer for my personal use for some time now and at that time Mohit Sarhadi, an Offers Galore reader, suggested me this offer on this cheapest printer ever in Indai. I thought this as a great offer and grabbed it with both hands and brought it immediately because of its price, which I too felt was very cheap. Most of the printers I have seen before for purchasing are of double the price of this printer or more. Hence I did not mind about the other features of this printer but all I saw was its price and as I am also not going to use it much but only for my personal purpose, thus I just grabbed the opportunity and brought it.

I just thought it would be a worthwhile offer for all of you out there and hence sharing it here. Frankly speaking this is a great deal from Future Bazaar.

This printer is an A4 Bubble Jet Printer, means it can print a page size of up to A4 only not more than that. It is a colour printer. It also prints your photos for the size of up A4. It is supposed to print a 6” x 4 “ size photo within 70 seconds. It also prints the regular black and white prints of regular documents too.

The single cartridge can be replaced after its use, not sure whether we can refill it or not, by the way.

Here are the some of the features of this printer,


• 2 picolitre FINE print-head technology for sharper text and enhanced image quality.
• ChromaLife 100 ink for beautiful, long-lasting photos.
• High quality photos and documents at up to 4800 x 1200 dpi resolution.
• Prints a borderless 6" x 4" photo in around 70 seconds.
• Prints up to 11 ppm in black and 11 ppm in colour.
• Prints true borderless photos up to A4 size.
• Easy to replace single cartridge.
• Compact and stylish, fits in any home interior

With regards to the look also this printers scores well with a stylish and perfect look for homes and has features which is enough for home use too, I feel. If you are having a plan of getting yourself a printer for your own use and has been postponing it just like me, then this would be the printer for you to choose. As the brand name Canon PIXMA is associated with great printing, especially the photo printing. I also feel that you cannot get a cheaper printer than this at least in India. I would definitely recommend this printer at the price of just Rs. 1199.

But also remember that Canon printers when it comes to efficiency in terms of service, etc lags a bit when compared to printers like HP. You will also have difficulty getting the replacement for cartridges and refill the same, I also confirmed this with a technical person. But the price of this printer makes me forget about this deficiency, after all this is from the great brand Canon and hence would not be as bad as one would think. But think about it before you are planning to buy it. I would suggest you to consult with a knowledgeable person about printers and then decide on it. If someone who reads this also knows more about this printers about its advantages and disadvantages can share it here in the comments. And also can share about bubble jet printer in general.

@wanderer, i too have not brought it yet. i just tried at that time, but was suggested by many of my friends to not to go for it as there are even better printers than this one. Not sure whether this printer is still available for this price, just check futurebazaar for the same.
