 Cartridges Too Expensive and Printer Too Slow and Cumbersome November 27, 2008

I previously used the Canon i250 until the color ink stopped working. I thought the i4600 would be a better more efficient machinge. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.
I frequently change from regular paper to photo paper and the procedure on the i4600 is cumbersome. Once it finally prints, the result is nice, but then, so was the i250.
Canon has goofed on this product, and I can't recommend it.

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 less ink than the Epson 200 by visual inspection. I had trouble finding cartridges at first and had to buy from Canon which charged way too much on shipping. I have found them at Office Depot now. Got there in the last 3 weeks. Set of cartridges is $47 - much cheaper than the Epson ($57 at Sam's Club). Also, has 2 black cartridges (one for text one for photo) one is larger than the other.
The pros - has various levels for print - High, Standard, Fast, and Custom. It also has a Grayscale setting. It also has a duplex setting for copying both sides. For larger print jos, probably more time efficient to do one side and then reveserse for the other. But it works well.
Picture quality for Photos - excellent. I basically use it for 4x6's for non profit work and for a newsletter
Software - excellent - a whole bundle of software that I have not even begun to use yet. Lots of options for various uses, calendars, albums, etc. Has varous optimizes for photo quality, etc. Impressive.
I am still learning the various uses for this printer. I believe I will grow to like it more as I experiement with it on its capabliities.
As seen from above, ink is the issue as is with all deskjet printers. Cost was about $95 from Amazon. Dennis C

Overall I am satisfied with the printer for both general printing and photos. The printing speed for photos is good. Two sided printing is somewhat slower than I would like. The delay for drying before printing the opposite side seems too long. After a interval of no printing there is too long a delay before the first page prints while some kind of mechanical activity goes on in the printer. I would rate it as a good value purchase.
Excellent Photo Printer With Minor Problems October 26, 2008

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 would open once after a boot then fail on subsequent tries. Tech Support has no software fix, but are mailing a hard copy. ON the first print job after power-on the printer goes through several seconds of clicks and hums before it will feed paper and print.
 Excellent Choice October 22, 2008

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 print was done in like 15 seconds!
I use this printer in my office for a lot of color graphs and two sided reports and reprints. The foot print is about right and looks great on my countertop return. I'll let you know if I can get 7 years out of this one like I did with the old hp. Also Amazon got this to me within 24 hours delivery with no hassles. Good choice and good service.
