PIXMA iP4500 Highlights

1pl Technology

Picolitre size

The size of the ink droplets can vary, and it is this that you quite often see quoted in printer specifications as a Pico litre rating (pl). The Smaller the nozzle jet, the tinier the ink drop, so the more detailed the print image will be.

5 Single Inks

Ink tanks/Cartridges

To minimise ink wastage and protect the environment, Canon’s Single Ink system uses transparent, individually replaceable single colour ink tanks. Each tank incorporates an LED that fl ashes slowly to indicate when ink is low, or rapidly when the tank is empty. To ensure hassle-free installation, the LED also indicates when a tank is incorrectly installed.

Auto Duplex Print

Auto Duplex

Built-in Auto Duplex printing capability is compatible with photo paper as well as plain paper feeding from both Rear Tray and Cassette.

DVD/CD Print

CD/DVD Printing

Built-in tray guide assures easy handling. Precise, fast, high-quality direct printing on DVD/CD media can be ready just with a tray.

Auto Image Fix

Auto Image Fix

Not every photo is perfect; that’s why Canon introduces Auto Image Fix.  It automatically analyses your photo, and then enhances skin tones, colour contrasts and saturations.  Simply scan, and edit them with the easy-to-use software.  Then reprint them to share with family and friends.

ChromaLife 100

ChromaLife 100

ChromaLife100 is a system that improves the beauty and permanence of printed images, realised with the combination of selected Canon inks and papers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great printer, 26 Dec 2007
I purchased this printer for a variety of printing from basic letters to photos and it's been a breath of fresh air since the last two (disappointing) Epson ink jet printers I have owned. I have a very simple desire when it comes to home computing - I just want it to work. The Canon has done just that. It doesn't jam, it doesn't drink ink, it doesn't move the ink head around for no reason - all things that my previous Epson printers seemed to do. Print quality is great (although I've only printed 6x4 photos so far), ink usage seems fair and it's very quiet. The only downside that I can think of is that it is pretty big but at this price, it's a very minor moan and I'd rather have the larger printer if it means it will continue to be as robust as this one. All in all, the best ink jet printer I have owned in years and I am really pleased to have made the jump to Canon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great printer so far..., 12 Nov 2007
I have had 2 photo priters in the past, both from Epson. Both suffered the same problem, ie they would print good pictures once the ink was flowing but 50% of the expensive ink was wasted in head cleaning. I rather belatedly decided not to make the same mistake a third time (twice is silly, but 3 times would be pathetic) and only looked at printers from HP and Canon. The reviews for the ip4300 were very good, and the ip4500 is basically an updated version of that and at roughly the same great price.

Initial impression was that it is very stylish and shiny if a little large. I don't usually bother reading instructions, but with this one I had to and setup is pretty easy if you follow them.

The first prints I got were superb even using all the default settings and not the best paper. The colours were accurate and printing was very fast compared to my previous printers. Having the 2 paper trays allows me to have plain and photo paper permanently loaded which I know saves me time faffing around swapping paper. I haven't used the CD printer yet because I don't have any printable disks, but its a nice feature which I expect to use it when I do get some suitable media.

The standard ink cartridges seem to be expensive, but I see it's possible to buy cheaper replacements. It appears to be economical with the ink too. With my Epsons the displayed ink level visibly moved downwards with each print, but this Canon's ink level hasn't moved yet after quite a number of 4x6 prints.

Having no USB A/B cable supplied is a little mean but I already had several spare ones.
So far I can't fault it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Amazon, Amazing Printer., 11 Dec 2007
By pHazeD (Northampton, England) - See all my reviews
I bought this printer to replace my Epson Stylus 830 which needed head cleaning almost every time I used it and, strangely enough I started looking for an Epson replacement but was put off by some of the comments about ink not drying on non-Epson photo paper. The Canon iP4500 with 9600 dpi & CD/DVD printing seemed to tick all the boxes and for the price I couldn't go wrong. Delivery was free and fast as I've come to expect from Amazon. After struggling for a week I realised there must be a problem with the CD printing & emailed Amazon to report the fault. A replacement was sent 2 days later! And I had 30 days to return the faulty one. And they refunded my postage! Quite right I hear you say but this was not my experience with another online retailer based in France who ignored my 5 emails, 8 'phone calls & held on to my money for 3 weeks even after agreeing a refund for a faulty re-furbished projector.

About the printer, excellent print quality even on plain paper & CDs and very fast. There's more print options than my Epson with standard presets easy to access on my Mac, it's quiet and looks smart. It is bigger & heavier than I expected & it took me a while to figure out that the strange red flashes I could see from the corner of my eye were a reflection from my optical mouse off the glossy back surface. The individual ink cartridges don't come cheap and there may not be that many pro features but for the price? I'm sure if this quality printer was available 4 years ago when I bought the Epson it would have cost around £250 which is about what you would have to pay now for a few extra features which I probably would never use. If you want a good, solid printer & print quality is more important than scanning & copying facilities this could be the best option from the best online retailer I know.
