Canon Pixma IP-4200 Expert Review

There’s little doubting the Canon Pixma iP4200’s ability to print quickly and the quality of photo prints is likely to impress amateur photography enthusiasts.

Throw in the machine’s compact design and you have a device that can perform exceptionally well in the home. The opportunity to print on CDs and DVDs is a plus point for those wanting to personalise their albums or films and the auto duplexing feature offers an advantage for those wanting to save money by printing on both sides of the page.

Although this model is not necessarily geared towards the home office market, a 150-sheet paper capacity is more than adequate.

Without Wi-Fi connectivity, it’s difficult to award the iP4200 top marks but for those looking for a fast and effective photo printer, it’s difficult to argue against this machine.
