Review of Canon PIXMA iP4000 Photo Printer
Prints very quick- black and white or color.Quality of photo printing is fantastic.Almost as quiet as my Toyota Sienna. Equipment / Software easy to install. From box to up and completely running in about 20 minutes. Additional features are incredible.It has a casssette tray where I keep my standard 8.5 x 11 paper for everyday printing.At the same time, you can keep your 4×6 photo paper in the sheet feeder when you want to do photos.You can switch between paper source either programatically or using the panel switch (could be a bit more accessible).The onboard duplexer is a welcome addition.
Ink usage is surprisingly minimal.
This is my second Canon inkjet–bought an I-950 about a year ago but made the fatal mistake of saving a few dollars on generic ink.Stay with all Canon supplies (price difference is actually minimal) to avoid printhead problems.
Downstream the only tweak I see would be adding CD printing capability.
Overall, a definite go for.I still keep my laser printer for the daily grind, but this machine is a great low priced option to have around for presentation quality color and digital camera fun stuff.

Product Description
If you’re looking for outstanding quality, high speed and advanced convenience features, the Canon Pixma iP4000 Photo Printer is ideal. Its ContrastPLUS 5-color ink system with four dye-based inks plus a pigment-based black ink produces true-life photos with improved color saturation and contrast along with laser-quality text. Plus, it achieves a resolution of up to 4800 x 1200 color dpi, for exceptional detail and photo-realism. Canon Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering (FINE) uses a high-performance 1,856-nozzle print head that ejects consistent, prescribed-volume droplets as small as 2 picoliters. Simply put: more nozzles with higher accuracy equal better results at impressive speeds. You can even produce edge-to-edge borderless photos in 4 x 6, 5 x 7 and 8.5 x 11 in. sizes, with the look and feel of traditional photographs.Using the Pixma iP4000 Photo Printer is fast and easy. How fast? It can produce up to 25 ppm in black and up to 17 ppm in color, and a 4″ x 6″ borderless print takes only 36 seconds. How easy? With direct photo printing, you can even print without a computer: simply connect any PictBridge-compatible digital camera or DV camcorder, and print!To help reduce printing costs, this efficient system has five individual ink tanks that let you replace only the color that runs out, rather than an entire cartridge containing unused ink. Plus, a unique low-ink sensor alerts you when ink levels are low, so you are prepared to just drop in a new tank as needed.
