Amazon.com Product Description
The Canon Pixma iP4500 is a stylish unit that boasts both a five-color ink system and a 4,608-nozzle print head to deliver wonderfully lifelike color, along with bold, laser-quality text. How does it work? The print head ejects precision droplets as small as one picoliter, resulting in a breathtaking 9600 x 2400 color dot-per-inch (dpi) resolution as well as a truly exceptional level of detail. Remarkably efficient, the iP4500 also will print a borderless 4-by-6-inch photo in only about 21 seconds. And you can store both photo paper and plain paper in the two paper trays at the same time, so you're always ready to print exactly what you need.

The user-friendly iP4500 provides lots of options, so you can indulge your creativity. With this system, you get four dye-based inks plus a pigment-based black ink, the option of printing two-sided documents to save paper, and the ability to print right from your infrared-enabled mobile camera phone. Simply capture an image with a PictBridge-ready digital camera or DV camcorder, then connect and print--it's that simple. And to make sure your favorite shots look their best, the built-in automatic image-fixing feature via Easy PhotoPrint EX also helps ensure that each image is as clear and vibrant as possible.

What's in the Box
Pixma iP4500 photo printer, document kit (cross sell sheet, easy setup instructions, quick start guide), setup software and user's guide on CD-ROM, PGI-5 pigment black ink tank, CLI-8 (black/cyan/magenta/yellow) ink tank, sample media (five 8.5-by-11-inch sheets and four print alignment sheets), power cord, and print head.

5 out of 5 stars CANON PIXMA IP4500 PRINTER   August 27, 2008
Douglas H. Sorensen
Excellent printer. Easy to use and get started. Nice looking design. Great software that allows many options.

Ink is expensive since you have five tanks to fill. I had an HP InkJet 880C before this printer. The Canon is a much better product.



5 out of 5 stars Very Happy   August 27, 2008
Wesley Newell
I bought the printer roughly a month ago to only print black and white pages. Its speed amazes me and the print is very crisp and profesional looking. I'm also happy that the canon unlike others does not install a million applications for the printer to work. It is very sharp looking but be awear it is very large.

I have yet to print a color photo, i just don't see the point in it. But its nice to know that, anything i would like I can do.

Very happy



4 out of 5 stars Works pretty well; fast color printer, but I expected to have a USB cable with it   August 18, 2008
J. Wilson (NC, United States)
Make sure you have your own USB cable, cuz it doesn't come with one. It's pretty big for not being a 3-in-1 printer. The instructions for quick start-up aren't great: One instruction says, "Make sure printer power is off before proceeding," and then the very next instruction is, "Turn printer power on."


4 out of 5 stars Excellent so far.   August 12, 2008
Ricardo (New York City)
I've only had this printer for a few days. It's a replacement for a Canon Pixma ip3000 that failed after 3.5 years. Given the similarity between the models, I decided to "upgrade" to an ip4500 instead of going for the lower priced ip3500. Both are so similar to my old ip3000 that the manual wasn't even necessary.

While I haven't put this printer through all of its paces yet, what I've seen so far is very encouraging. Text prints very quickly and looks as good as a laser printer.

However, I bought this printer for photos and it looks like it's going to surpass my ip3000 in quality. Colors seem a bit smoother and there also seems to be a minor improvement in sharpness. I still need to do some experimenting, but I don't think I'll find anything too surprisingly different.

Now let me tell you why I only gave it four stars. Although I have always used Canon brand inks, I resent that Canon has lowered itself to Epson's level of FORCING me to do so. It's such a blatant marketing ploy that I find it offensive. I'm sure if they found a way to put a microchip on a piece of paper they'd force us to use their brand of paper as well.




5 out of 5 stars Good color printer   August 11, 2008
K. Chidester (USA)
I ordered this Canon Pixma printer based on the price, printing capabilities, and 5 separate colored ink cartridges(2 for black and 3 for the basic cyan, magenta and yellow). Our previous Canon bubblejet printer was slow to print, but printed very high quality. This printer is much faster than that older one, and does not disappoint in terms of quality. I printed a photo on regular typing paper and got a very high quality image with colors that matched those on my computer monitor. It takes some time to "warm up" each time this printer is first powered on, but it has a nice energy saving feature once it's ready to go. This printer is a keeper.
