Canon Pixma IP-4700 Ink Cartridges

Canon Pixma IP-4700 Printer Description

The Canon Pixma iP4700 gives home users high quality document and photo printing as well as the chance to print on CDs and DVDs.

Combining speed and quality, photographs can be produced in stunning detail alongside text documents that are both clear and professional-looking. In terms of the speed at which the printer can operate, 9.2ipm for mono documents and 8.1ipm for colour is offered.

A 10 x 15cm photograph can be produced in as little as 20 seconds with Canon’s FINE print head and class-leading 1pl ink droplets delivering a print resolution of 9600 x 2400dpi. Single ink tanks mean that only the ink that’s been used needs to be replaced.

The iP4700 has two paper trays (rear tray and cassette) so that different media can be uploaded at any time. Therefore users can print on compatible DVDs/CDs.

Saving money on your paper expenditure, this printer can print double-sided helping to increase productivity.

Canon Pixma IP-4700 Expert Review

Possessing the same bulky build quality synonymous with the Pixma range, the Canon Pixma iP4700 is a capable home printer with a range of features.

Fans of photo printing will be delighted with the level of detail that can be achieved when printing hard copies of your favourite memories. There is also the twin paper tray in keeping with other models in the range and this ensures that users can vary the media they print on.

If you tend to print information from the internet, intuitive software in the form of Easy-WebPrint EX can help easily clip text and images from various websites onto one printable page. Further software looks to improve the appearance of photographs. Problems such as red eye are quickly eliminated using Scene Analysis and Face Detection technology, for example.

As a relatively low-priced printer, the iP4700 does have a couple of features missing. For instance, there’s no Wi-Fi connectivity or the ability to print from memory cards.

Pros

• Good photo print quality
• Auto-duplexing included
• Can print on CDs/DVDs
