Manufacturer's Description

The PIXMA iP4200 Photo Printer is a high-performance machine, combining exceptional print quality with advanced convenience features.

You'll be amazed at your results.High performance doesn't stop there. The PIXMA iP4200 Photo Printer can produce a photo lab quality 4"x6" borderless print in about 51 seconds. Its USB 2.0 Hi-Speed interface enables the fastest photo transfers possible from your computer.

Duration of ownership: 35 Months

Strengths: good quality text

Weaknesses:expensive ink and a chip that prevents use of non Canon ink or refilled tanks

Overall Evaluation: The problem with this printer is the chip on the ink tanks that prevents use of non-Canon or refilled ink tanks. The printer eventually [after the warranty has expired] refuses to recognize even Canon ink tanks. It stops printing and the only way to fix it is to install a brand new tank, but after a couple of months the printer won't recognize that tank either even if is still full.

Duration of ownership: 18 Days

Strengths: Faster printing then my old unit

Weaknesses:Required cable not included. I was told I would save a lot on the price of ink but now that I have had this printer for well over a year I seem to spend far more then on my old HP.

Overall Evaluation: Now that I have had this printer for well over a year I am not really as pleased with it as I expected. It seems to always be running out of ink and the over all cost of the ink is no where near what I had been told. The quality of the printing isn't always as good as I expected either. It's not a bad printer but it's not much better then my very old HP. I may be replacing this printer sooner than I expected.

Duration of ownership: 2 Days

Strengths: Very good with type and pictures. True to color and very sharp imiages

Weaknesses:A little slow

Overall Evaluation: This is the best printer I've had. I just junked an HP7960 that cost 3 times as munch, used more ink colors and claimed to be the greatest photo printer when I bought it. The Canon IP4200 outperforms it in every way at one third the price.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Separare ink cartridges, good print quality

Weaknesses:somewhat bulky

Overall Evaluation: The Canon PIXMA iP4200 Photo Printer uses separate ink cartridges, which helps minimize ink waste. If you've ever had a printer before that uses a single catridge for all colors, you'll appreciate this feature very much. On top of that the cartrdiges are priced reasonably compared to its competition. I do wish that the printer's weight and footprint was less, but all in all, this is a good printer. Would buy again.

Duration of ownership: 30 Days

Strengths: Auto off, nice photo print quality, Consumer Reports Best Buy twice, seperate ink tanks.

Weaknesses:Doesn't accept media, doesn't print on CD's

Overall Evaluation: None of those weaknesses make it a dealbreaker for me, for $99 that I paid it is a fantastic printer.I am not a power user by any means but so far the pictures I have printed are super and the text output is fine.I love that it shuts off, coming from a 5 year old HP that didn't and I always forgot. Keep an eye out for a low price, it fluctuates. I paid $99 and two days later saw it for $93 (both total w/shipping included) but the store I got it from would not honor their low price agreement. If you are looking for a ton of features like on printer viewer and print without a PC then this is not for you but I am thrilled with it. If I see it as low as $93 again I am getting one for my SIL.

Dual paper trays and a duplexer make this speedy printer versatile enough to handle photo printing and office duties.
