I think it’s a fine time for me to invest in a new printer. I need a multi-printer though, not just something for printing important documents. I need the ability to print photos as well, because right now all I feel like I’m doing is wasting my money. With the cost of gas these days, having to travel 60 miles round trip to the nearest printing location, and the cost of printing itself, it’s just become a real hassle. Not to mention that it’s put a dent in my wallet.

I found a great deal, actually a steal, in the weekly deals at Buy.com. It’s absolutely perfect for my needs, as it’s an photo all-in-one printer by Canon, which is exactly what I need. Who could complain about an all-in-one printer by Canon, for only $68.83 that also includes free budget shipping? I’m certainly not going to complain. This will make a great addition to our home office. When I have a photography session, I’ll be able to print my own photos without having to waste time and money doing it somewhere else. I love the nifty LCD display, which allows you to preview images before you print them. I think it’ll be really nice being able to scan old photos onto my computer and be able to email them to family and friends too. It also doesn’t hurt that it’s a very stylish and sleek machine in black and gray, which is going to coordinate perfectly with our computers which are also black and gray.

This will come in handy. Not only can I print straight from my computer, but I can also print images from my memory card, my digital camera (which I know I’ll do on a regular basis) and even my husband’s camera phone - directly from each. I owned an all-in-one printer before, and though it was nice for the price, we’re talking about Canon here. I can print all of my photos and documents in the comfort of my own home, which will esstentially mean I’m saving a nice chunk of change! I think this will be one of the better investments I’ve made in a long time.
