Best bang for the buck....
My last printer was a Canon i960, which I thought at the time was the last word in performance for around $100, and it truly was. It had 6 ink cartridges, and a miniscule 2 picolitre droplet size -- and rendered the best and fastest photos I'd ever printed (4x6 in 34 seconds). But I made the mistake of buying cheaper ink replacement cartridges, and not using the printer regularly. People, here's a freebie on me, cuz it cost me my last printer: If at all possible, stay with Canon ink cartridges (yeah, I know they're expensive)....and if you're gonna buy discount cartridges, MAKE SURE YOU PRINT PHOTOS OR COLOR COPY EVERY WEEK!!!!!! I'm not sure if the channels that the ink travels through to get to the printer head became clogged, or maybe it ... Read More
Good Home Printer
This is a nice home printer that prints good color maps etc. (Of course the ink is a little expensive, but that is normal these days.)
These Canon printers seem to clog less than Epson when you use them infrequently.
Service beyond belief
The reviews describing the Canon iP4500 on Amazon's Site were concise and detailed and easily enabled me to make my choice of this printer. Ordering was simple and the price was very good. The delivery was fantistic (3 days), I couldn't have obtained this printer locally nearly this fast. Thank you Amazon for another excellent buying situation.
Worst printer ever
I have used many printers in my life and this is, without a doubt the worst printer ever. I attempted to make it work for 6 months and finally gave up. On a regular basis, it would not print and bring up various error messages. I tired better paper, but that did not help. It would print okay for a few days and then just bring up an error code on the next print. Plus it ate ink, I was constantly buying one of the 4 cartridges. I have never written a review of anything before today,but this printer was so bad, I had to let other people know.
DO NOT BUY THIS PRINTER.
good printer for good price
I bought this because of suggestion from Red River Paper and because of reviews from customers. This printer was not hard to set up and worked like a charm. I print photo cards and the quality is great, good printing speed also. The only downside is having to provide your own USB cord. I would recommend Canon Pixma iP4500 Photo Inkjet Printer (2171B002).
