 Great Printer November 5, 2007

I bought this to replace my Canon i950 that refused to print in anything but black an yellow. The iP4500 has a wide swath high speed black print head and regular heads for Black C, M, and Y. I haven't done any high res photo printing yet to see how it compares to the i950 but I'm sure it will be fine, even with out the photo Cyan and photo magenta. It's really fast when it's printing, although with my 6 year old computer it sometimes takes 2 minutes to process the data before printing. The i950 never had this problem. It does duplex (both sides automatically) printing which will save paper. It has two paper trays, one in the back and one on the bottom, so I can use two different types of paper at the push of a button. Generic Ink cartridges are only a buck fifty each at mega toners dot com. That's a big reason to go with Canon. I would buy again.
CD Tray & Ink Refills January 6, 2008

This is our second Canon. We ruined the first one (ip3500) our fault.
1. This printer is capable of printing directly on CD's. Go to ebay & do a search for Canon CD Tray. There is guy there (for years now) that has the trays, a link to instructions for activating CD Printing, & a link for instructions on how to set up your Canon IP4500 for CD Printing. It is very easy, & you can revert it if you change your mind. No worry about hurting your printer. You used to be able to buy the CD Trays on Amazon???
2. Ink refills: We use high quality ink refilling on our Canon. If you get ink from a RELIABLE dealer, you have NO problems. Do NOT use a 'generic' all in one ink refill kit. They WILL mess up your printer!!!
3. inkjethelper dot com for general nfo.
4. inkjet dot cfriends for your first refill kit.
5. inksupply dot com for just ink after you already have a refill kit.
You can also get newer/updated drivers & easy photo print OR easy photo print EX from the European Web site. The guy on ebay has the links for you.
The very first Canon we bought was defective, & Amazon replaced it even before we got the defective one mailed back to them. The replacement has been working fine for years now. Amazon made it extremely easy to do the exchange. Sold by Amazon from Amazon are good ones to watch for, even if the price is a few more dollars, it is worth it.
Canon 4 Cartridge printers & up are great. The IP3500 had to have the 'Prevent Paper Abrasion' turned on all the time, but not this one. If you have problems, it is more likely a defective printer. If you get one that is not defective, the colors & printing are Excellent.
 Allow ink refill in some way April 29, 2008

I had emailed and asked Canon many times to allow user refill the ink. They did not respond to that. This printer in some way allowing the ink being refilled. You still have to void the warranty of the printer head. After that, it will allow most the ink cartrige refilled. However, it does not do that to all the ink cartriges. Some times, you still have to check the ink level, then wait for the warning message saying no ink in tank (you actually have a full tank refilled ink in it), then push the continue button on printer to let the printing continue with the refilled inks.
I don't know why Canon have to pull so many stops for people using refilled ink. Otherwise, this will be a wonderful printer. If you are using ink cartrige without refill, it is actually cheaper just buy a new printer on Amazon when the ink is out, since buying a whole set of inks costs more than a whole new printer with full set of inks.
 Specified product dimensions are NOT correct August 4, 2008

Be aware that the dimensions of this printer are not as advertised.
In the Product Features it says "Dimensions: 11.9 x 6.3 x 17.5 in. (WxHxD)", and in the Technical Details it says "Dimensions: 17.5 x 11.9 x 6.3 inches (W x H x D)". In fact this printer is neither.
The correct dimensions are 17.5 x 6.3 x 11.9 (width x height x depth). So it's about a foot and a half wide, six inches high, and a foot deep.
For the money... great. November 24, 2007

Bottom line: for what it costs now, great product. Dependable fast prints, simple profile and easy to use. Great buy.
