Canon inkjet printers - The Canon Pixma iP4500 is a fashionable unit that features both a five-color ink system and a 4,608-nozzle print head to render marvelously lifelike color along with bold, laser-quality text. How does it work? The print head releases precision droplets as small as one picoliter leading to a breathtaking 9600 x 2400 color dot-per-inch (dpi) resolution as well as a genuinely exceptional level of detail.



You can pamper your creativity because the user-friendly iP4500 renders many options . You acquire four dye-based inks plus a pigment-based black ink, the option of printing two-sided documents to economize paper, and the ability to print directly from your infrared-enabled mobile camera phone. Merely capture an image with a PictBridge-ready digital camera or DV camcorder then connect and print -- it's that simple. And to make certain that your fave photos appear their best, the built-in automatic image-fixing feature thru Easy PhotoPrint EX also helps ensure that each photo is as crisp and vibrant as possible.

User Reviews

I bought this unit a little over a month ago to replace a 9-year old HP Deskjet printer. I was really sad to watch it go and marveled if the new, less expensive printers could catch up to the performance of the older one. After much inquiry I decided to give the Canon Pixma a try. The printer has a slick black and gray design. It is a lot larger than I guessed but my table is very long so it doesn't appear out of place next to my Sony Vaio LT Desktop. But if you have a small workspace, this printer may demand up too much space.

Simplicity of Assembly: I experience a few problems with Vista recognizing this printer at first and had to start set-up a few times before the software driver was completely installed.

Operation: This printer is very fast! So quick you would almost think you were abandoning performance for efficiency but that is not the instance with this printer. I have used it for basic black text and Internet printing as well as graphic-heavy school projects and pictures and it has worked great in both cases. Overall, I am very glad with my purchase. It is a nice machine for home printing projects like basic text, presentations and pictures. - Meloney Dillingham

Shopped around for a fair price on this model. I am truly satisfied with it. Not being "savvy" about installing computers and printers, I was able to get it up and functioning in very little time. The print caliber is very good and it's not noisy. - B. Carney

I used a Pixma iP4000 printer and was satisfied with it until it broke up almost 2 1/2 years after I bought it. I have just bought the iP4500. Fundamentally it is similar with iP4000 and am quite satisfied with it. It looks to be quicker than the iP4000 and the color pictures are excellent. I would recommend this printer to anyone. - J/M
