Overview

The Canon BJC 85 is an inkjet printer designed primarily for office use, featuring a resolution of up to 720x360 dpi which was standard for early 1990s printers. It uses a 4-color ink system capable of producing color and grayscale prints. The printer employs a serial interface for connectivity, compatible with most computers of its time. Print speed is approximately 2 pages per minute for black and white prints, with slower speeds for color images. The design includes a single sheet feeder and supports multiple paper sizes including letter and A4. Its relatively compact footprint made it suitable for small office environments.

Key Advantages

The Canon BJC 85 offers reliable color printing for its era, suitable for small office tasks and home use. Its 4-color ink system delivers vibrant images with reasonable detail. The device was compatible with both Windows and Macintosh operating systems, increasing its versatility. It had a straightforward design that allowed easy maintenance and ink cartridge replacement. The printer's mechanical simplicity contributed to its durable performance over time. Additionally, it supported various paper types, allowing users flexibility in their printing needs.

Limitations

The Canon BJC 85 has relatively slow print speeds compared to modern standards, limiting high-volume uses. Its maximum print resolution is lower than later printers, resulting in less sharp images. It operates using a serial port connection, which is outdated and not compatible with current computer systems without adapters. Ink cartridges had a limited yield, requiring frequent replacements that increased operating costs. The device lacks duplex printing, so manual paper handling is necessary for double-sided prints. Its design and components are no longer supported, making maintenance difficult in contemporary settings.
