Canon PIXMA iP4700 Premium Inkjet Photo Printer (3742B002)


Great Printer!5

I purchased this printer after a lot of research here on Amazon and elsewhere. This printer is replacing an old Epson Stylus Photo 780 that I've had for years. I was really unhappy with the Epson because the ink heads clogged up constantly. I also wanted the newest printer possible since I've had problems with other devices not updating their drivers so this printer fit the bill.



The Canon printer has been wonderful for me so far. It was easy to set up and install and worked right away. I'm using Snow Leopard on a Mac so I had to download the actual driver from Canon's web site but this is easy to do and pretty self-explanatory.



I love that the printer is all enclosed. The regular paper sits in a tray at the bottom and everything can be closed up so that dust doesn't get into it. Photo paper is loaded at the rear.



This printer has individual ink cartridges a plus in my opinion.

I am using it lightly (10-15 regular color pages 1-2 photos per week) so I have not dented the supply level on the ink cartridges and can't really comment on how fast the ink runs out. The print quality is pretty good for the regular paper and very good for photos. I was very impressed with the photos that I printed they were sharp and the color was great.



The software drivers are adequate and not too confusing. I found this printer very easy to use and of good quality. I'm very happy with it and it's miles better than my old Epson.
