Canon Pixma IP4700 Reviews
Wired reviews the Canon Pixma iP4700 and writes;
“WIRED Produces rich, nicely saturated color prints up to 8.5 x 11 inches. More speed than you’d expect for a C-note. Quick document printing, too, if you have occasion to use mere words. Included Easy WebPrint EX software does a nice job of formatting Web content. Automatic double-sided printing and twin paper trays.”

GoodGearGuide reviews the Canon Pixma iP4700 and writes;
“The Canon Pixma IP4700 really impressed us. It is a good quality inkjet printer that produces excellent results in a short amount of time. We also liked the fact that it was exceptionally quiet. If excellent prints are what you need and you aren’t in the market for either copying or scanning features, this is the ideal printer.”

Techradar reviews the Canon Pixma iP4700 and writes;
“The text quality offered by the iP4700 is great, with clear, sharp characters and almost no bleed. It printed our 20-page test document in three minutes, 12 seconds – slower than a dedicated office machine but more than acceptable for a home printer..”

ComputerShopper reviews the Canon Pixma iP4700 and writes;
“The iP4700 makes no compromises when it comes to photo quality, either. Although it has only four colours, prints look stunning. The dye-based black ink produces rich, intense dark tones, while skin colours and natural shades are reproduced with great accuracy. There’s even a CD printing tray and a utility that makes it easy to print your own artwork on CDs and DVDs.”

PCpro reviews the Canon Pixma iP4700 and writes;
“Quality was every bit as impressive as previously, with the pigmented black ink producing gloriously thick and bold text. That tank won’t be touched when you print photos, and the remaining dye-based black and colours make for sharp, detailed images. Colours were vibrant but not overly saturated, and our monochrome photo was flawlessly neutral – a feat many home inkjets can’t manage.”

Canon Pixma IP4700 User Reviews
Great printer! by C.Huddleston
Rating:
“…This printer has individual ink cartridges, a plus in my opinion.
I am using it lightly (10-15 regular color pages, 1-2 photos per week) so I have not dented the supply level on the ink cartridges, and can’t really comment on how fast the ink runs out. The print quality is pretty good for the regular paper, and very good for photos. I was very impressed with the photos that I printed, they were sharp and the color was great….”
Fantastic, affordable printer by D.Wakley

“I chose the Pixma ip4700…and it completely lived up to the high expectations I have for Canon photo printers. Prints are crisp and colors are fantastic. Plus, technology has improved so much since I last purchased a printer–dpi is better, and print speed is much, much faster than my old i960. For around $100, you can’t go wrong. People are always amazed when they see prints I make on Canon printers…the quality rivals and possible even surpasses print labs.”
Canon Pixma iP4700 is a winner by Robert N. Renner

“Looking for a printer that just prints, without scanners, faxes or other unnecessary and expensive distractions, I found this jewel. Excellent photos, very good text at a reasonable price and with reasonably low cost of operation.”
