By VARINDIA - 2010-03-31
Get ready for powerhouse printing at its best. This stylish machine features a 5-colour ink system and a 4,608-nozzle print head that ejects precision droplets as small as 1 picoliter. The result? Amazing 9600 x 2400 colour dpi resolution (max.) and wonderfully life colour values, along with bold, laser-quality text. Plus, you can print a superb borderless 4" x 6" photo in only about 21 seconds. The two paper trays let you store both photo paper and plain paper, so you are always print-ready.
The Canon Pixma iP4500 is a moderately expensive single-function printer designed for general home use. The iP4500 offers faster print speed, slightly better print quality, and more features, including an auto duplexer. However, if your printing needs are minimal, we think you should save your money and stick to a less expensive one. The iP4500 is a great option for general printing.
The Pixma iP4500’s design is simple and straightforward – the body is mainly black, with silver accents. It measures 17.5 inches wide, 11.9 inches deep and 6.3 inches tall, and weighs 15.2 pounds. The special features in the printer’s control panel are a PictBridge USB port, power and cancel/feed buttons, and an input source button that switches between paper trays.
The Pixma iP4500 comes with two paper input: the rear input folds open from the top/back edge of the printer, and the cassette pulls out from the bottom/front. Both can hold up to 150 pages of plain paper. Canon recommends putting stiffer media such as photo paper in the rear input, as paper in the cassette is forced to bend around a roller. Both inputs have adjustable paper guides, so both can handle a wide range of paper sizes. A panel in the front of the printer folds out to serve as the output tray.
The iP4500 uses a five-ink system: pigment black for better text prints, and dye-based black, yellow, cyan, and magenta for better graphics and colour blending.
Features:
The Pixma iP4500 offers a fairly basic feature set. The only connection option is USB, though you can network the printer using a print
server. It offers up a built-in duplexer for automatic double-sided prints, though the print driver gives you the option of manual duplex print jobs. The iP4500 lacks memory card slots, but it does offer a PictBridge USB port for printing directly from PictBridge cameras and devices.
