Canon Pixma iP4600 - Best for pictures
Having sworn off HP and Epson printers years ago because of problems with reliability and service, I decided to give Canon a chance. Based on the mostly stellar reviews of the iP4500, I decided to purchase the slightly cheaper successor model, the iP4600. I was particularly interested in the duplexing option for printing out longer documents, and the high-quality photo output.
The directions for setup were easy, although the entire process took close to 20 minutes, with all the packag...

Excellent Choice
I just replaced my 1999 vintage hp 970 Cse inkjet with duplex accessary with this new Canon ip4600 that automatically prints on both sides of the page , and couldn't be happier. I have grown to appreciate the Canon product line of cameras and now their printers. It is about twice as fast as the old hp 970, but the colors not quite as vibrant until you print out a glossy photo, and again I was impressed with the speed for a 4"x6" glossy print that looks like it was developed at Ritz Camera. The p...

Thirsty!
Canon have outdone themselves in diservice to their customers here. I have been a loyal fan for some years but after my i860 died I replaced it with the ip4600. I have only had it a couple of weeks and the ink has almost run out. The ink tanks are sooooo small.
I have printed 1 A4 photo and 2 postcards. The color tanks are 60% empty. I am an occasional user turning the machine on and off when I need a print, mostly for text. All the noises that it makes on startup I can only presume a...

The Canon iP4600 is a high quality product.
If you want a printer that produces high quality photos, including black and white photos, then this is the printer to get. It's user friendly to install and to use. It prints photos fast (less than 20 seconds), but it take a shorter time (average of 10 seconds) preparing to print the photo. It does make mechanical sounds and noises while it's preparing to print. That surprised me the first couple of prints, but any concern faded away when I got a quality print. I suggest using the Canon ph...

Canon IP 4600
Overall, high quality printer. date of this review Nov 26, 2008
Major issue - goes through ink rather quickly. I previously used an Epson R200 with good results, but costly on ink. I was hoping for the Canon quality, which I got, and more efficient use of ink. Since this is a new product, came out in Sept, I could not find any definitive data on ink use. I have no real data to say it going through it quickly than my previous experience with Epson. The cartridges seem to have les...

Canon Pixma iP4600
Easy setup and good quality printer. Only compaint I have is Canon is selling these printers at a good price but has pretty much gone off the
deep end on ink cartridge prices. The new cartridges are smaller than
previous models and at this time there are no compatable cartridges available for this printer. $65 for a set of cartridges is ridiculous!
Should have bought a previos model with old style cartidges.

Excellent Photo Printer With Minor Problems
First the good points of the IP4600; The photo print quality is excellent. The setup is easy. I am pleased with the operation of the printer. On the down-side; The IP4600 DOES NOT print CDs/DVDs even though several retailers (including Amazon) states that it does. Canon Tech Support seemed very surprised that the feature was given in their specifications. I have a problem with some incompatability between the Canon On-Screen Manual software and software installed on my computer. The manual...

ok photo printing, horrible black and white text printing, slow, expensive ink
This printer is very disappointing. I replaced a very old Canon BJC-8200 and the old printer was better in every aspect. The ip4600 is very fast once it starts printing but it takes a good 20 seconds to 3 minutes to start printing. The printer will move the print head around while you wait for it to start printing. It does this every time. Sure the stats on Canon's web page make this seem like a fast printer (it is only after if finally starts printing). The quality of color photo is about ...

can not recommend because of ink factor
I purchased this printer to replace my old Canon bjc3000 printer that recently died after 8 years of faithful service. It was slow and noisy, but the printing quality was outstanding for a printer in this price range. My wife and I enjoy the hobby of photography. Friends and family were amazed at the prints we were creating on a home printer. Another aspect of this printer that I enjoyed was affordability of the individual ink tanks that I was able to purchase on line for under $4 a piece. All o...

Printer ratings all seem too high
I am a a little mystified by the very high ratings given to computer printers. I bought the Pixma 4600 to replace the 4500. I buy this model because it does very few things-- no card slots, built-in monitors, and wild claims of independence from computers. The single function printer is more reliable than multi-function printers, but still no paragon of problem-free service. The all-in-ones and feature laden single use printers I have owned in the past have all been kludgy, slow, noisy and unr...
