  Duration of ownership: 2 Weeks

  Strengths: Print Speed - compared to other photo printers...this printer is FAST!. The iP4500 has a separate black ink cartridge that is used for text printing...and prints text at a lower resolution(but still laser quality) in order to increase speed. I can get a full letter size page in 2+ seconds. 4x6 photos in about 40 seconds when set to "Best" quality. Photo Quality - I printed 36 photos at my nearest Walgreens the day before I purchased this printer. The next day I printed the same pics on the Canon iP4500. The print quality is the same. The only way I could tell which was which was by the watermark on the back of the photo paper. Duplex Printing - this feature was a must for me. I print a lot of text and I get tired of wasting paper. The printer can print on two sided photo paper without swearing the print. PRICE - It's hard to believe this printer is less than $150!!

  Weaknesses:Paper size limited to letter. But it does print full 8x10 photos. If I need to print larger photos, I will send it out and have it done at a photo lab. No cute buttons...no flash card slots...no image viewer. But who needs these features when all your work is done from the PC. I prefer the simple and clean look and I never used these features on my last printer (HP).

  Overall Evaluation: I was planning on investing in two printers...one for text documents and the other for photos. However, this printer does both...extremely well. GREAT PRINTER!!

  Duration of ownership: 6 Days

  Strengths: High resolution, good picture quality

  Weaknesses:None

  Overall Evaluation: This printer produceS excellent prints from any decent digital file. I have had good results in 4x6, 5x7, and 8x10 prints. Very vibrant color, good blacks, excellent contrast. I like the fact that you can feed paper from the top and from a side-mounted cassette. Makes it easy to use two different types/sizes of paper without having to change one. One proviso here: I only print photos on the Canon. The resolution and quality is amazing, best what I ever saw

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: Great output, flexible paper handling, great price

  Weaknesses:USB Cable not included

  Overall Evaluation: I purchased this printer to replace a Dell AIO 968 (which never printed photos well, even with a photo cartridge). My mother is not very technically inclined, but knows some basics. I was looking for a printer that she could use without a problem (3 simple buttons!!!) and would give great photo production (she loves to print lots of pictures of her grandkids). Photo output is just beautiful. Compared to the Dell (which isn't all that old!!!), this is is amazing. There is no banding, colors are beautiful, and the entire printer is very nice. Additionally, with the option of the paper cassette and rear paper tray, Mom doesn't have to remove all the paper to print a picture. Best of all - it's just a great printer -- no extras because they just aren't needed here. Highly recommended!!!

  Strengths: Quality letters and outstanding photos. Easy and automatic setup.

  Weaknesses:Takes a while for setup cycle to run. Large on your desk.

  Overall Evaluation: The completely automated alignment cycle is great. You do not have to do a thing but wait, and wait and wait, 13 minutes. After that is done, relax and enjoy the high quality of the letters and photos you will get. I had the i950 just before this
