What our customer's say!

"Excellent, Versatile Printer for the Price", Although I have only just begun to use this printer, I find it to produce high quality pictures (on high resolution paper), and excellent black and white output on standard paper.

Reasonably fast and accurate.

"Excellent printer for the price", This printer is every bit as good as the IP5000 it replaced. It's solid with both photos and text. My only gripe is that it has the same ink absorber pad design flaw that most Canon inkjets have.

"It's great for my needs", I love the thing. It's print clarity is better than I expected, pictures turn out great though I seldom use it for that. I think it's a great buy.

"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 was the brand of ink I used to replace Canon, but I do know that after not printing anything for a few months, it simply didn't work. I researched the problem on multiple forums; found my experience was fairly common; tried every known remedy to clean/soak/fix the print head and cartridge dock -- bottom line is I had to toss a perfectly good printer in the garbage.

OK, a long-winded preamble/caveat to a (hopefully) shorter review:

Yes, it is larger than I expected, but nicely laid out, with a full 100 sheet tray (cassette) feeding from the bottom. This allows me to load the top feed with my photo paper, and simply touch a button for which source I want to print from -- either way, paper is always loaded.

Yes, it's fast, and surprisingly so. I'm getting 4x6 prints in 20 seconds, and full page copy off the web (black and white w/ some color -- borders, bylines, and author headshots) at 6 seconds per page. Very respectable at any price. Black and white printing resolution is fairly sharp to the naked eye, but under a magnifying glass there's some bleedout noticeable. While that may be a function of the paper I'm using, it's definitely suitable for any business application.

No, it doesn't come with a USB cable....I simply used the one I had for my last printer....(hello? not a big deal folks)

But the real surprise is the quality of the photo printing. In a word, it's spectacular! I'm an avid digital photographer, and the color saturation of the prints I've made with the OEM ink is studio quality. The pics I printed of some concept cars from last year's North American Auto Show look digitally enhanced, and suitable for any magazine.

Setup really is a breeze. Anybody with a pulse and a third grade reading proficiency will do just fine with the Easy Installation Instructions. The CD is self-installing (aren't they all nowadays?), and yes, the print head alignment takes a bit of time (12 minutes for mine)....so read a book, watch TV, make out with your girlfriend -- it's well worth the wait.

Bottom line: This is really a no-brainer. A great printer for a great price -- just remember to use it regularly!







"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.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Great Equipment - Great Buying Experience", Printer works great. I had to return one (an HP) that cost five times as much because the damn thing wouldn't work. I'll be back.

All the best,

"Great printer at a great price", I bought tis printer to replace a broken Canon ip6700d. For the price it is very good. The photo quality seems to be less than the ip6700d but so far has been very acceptable. The next higher quality Canon printer is so much more expensive that I chose this one. I stayed away from the multi-function printers because photo quality was my main concern.

"Good Printer", It prints Very well. Lets you know when on ink your low. Pitchers come out very nice also.

"Canon Pixma iP4500 Printer", Good price from Amazon, but printer was broken upon arrival. Thankfully, Amazon has an excellent return policy, better than the manufacturer who wanted to charge me for repair--on a brand new printer! Amazon rocks. Canon ...

p.s. Ended up buying an HP Photosmart D7260. Great printer.

"Canon Pixma iP4500 is excellent printer", I purchased this printer to replace an old Canon i850 color inkjet printer. The old printer worked great for a few years, then stopped working properly even though I used only Canon ink cartridges. So far the iP4500 seems to print text and photos very well - actually better than the old printer. I am hoping it lasts longer than the i850.

The ink cartridges are easy to change. The ink for the iP4500 does not seem to smear after drying the way the ink used in the i850 did. The two paper trays are very useful to me. I use the bottom tray for letter paper and the top feed for photo paper. I have the software set to allow switching between the two trays when necessary - very easy to use and much nicer than the old printer. Also, the iP4500 will do duplex (front and back) printing automatically - does not require re-feeding the back side of the page.
