Canon IP4600 Inkjet Photo Printer
I must say it has been a long time since I had to buy a printer cause my last one was 7 years old. I hated having to get a new one but I had fried the printer head on my last one and it cost more to get a new head than a new printer. I am prone to Canon products cause it is the brand I use most (at home and at work) and I have never had any problems.
This is not coming from any high tech type person. I am just your everyday type user that uses my computer for digital photos. I even have a Canon camera. This printer is so much better than my last one (from 2002) and you can easily see how much the technology has come even on a basic, inexpensive model like this one.
I’ve always loved their ink dispensing technology. It usues just the right amount of ink to get that job done and it’s usually less than other printers. Believe me, I print alot of pictures. I do calendars, invitations, albums (4×6) and greeting cards. I’ve gone from using 4 ink cartridges to 5 with this printer but that is not a problem. It has four inks for photos and one for text. When one color runs out, I just replace that cartridge.
The photo paper enters from a rear tray and it is easy to print photos using the program on the CD that comes with the printer. It also has a tray in the front for regular paper. The coolest thing is that the way it does duplexing. It can print on both sides of the paper and I don’t have to do anything to the sheet on the first pass. It sucks the paper back in itself and prints on the other side.
I know that there are printers out there that can do alot more but I haven’t owned any. You’ll have to excuse me if I get so excited with what this printer is capable of. It’s like a smart printer. It even tells you when you’ve forgotten to open it so the paper can come out the front. I keep it closed to keep dust out and it looks very nice on it’s little stand. May be big to some but not to me.
Canon iP4600 has turned out to be a wise investment. High quality, low price. I hope Canon iP4600 will last as longer or longer than my last Canon printer. If nothing else, you may need to buy a new one just to keep up with the new technology. I highly recommend Canon iP4600.
