Amazon.com Product Description
The Canon Pixma iP4500 is a stylish unit that boasts both a five-color ink system and a 4,608-nozzle print head to deliver wonderfully lifelike color, along with bold, laser-quality text. How does it work? The print head ejects precision droplets as small as one picoliter, resulting in a breathtaking 9600 x 2400 color dot-per-inch (dpi) resolution as well as a truly exceptional level of detail. Remarkably efficient, the iP4500 also will print a borderless 4-by-6-inch photo in only about 21 seconds. And you can store both photo paper and plain paper in the two paper trays at the same time, so you're always ready to print exactly what you need. The user-friendly iP4500 provides lots of options, so you can indulge your creativity. With this system, you get four dye-based inks plus a pigment-based black ink, the option of printing two-sided documents to save paper, and the ability to print right from your infrared-enabled mobile camera phone. Simply capture an image with a PictBridge-ready digital camera or DV camcorder, then connect and print--it's that simple. And to make sure your favorite shots look their best, the built-in automatic image-fixing feature via Easy PhotoPrint EX also helps ensure that each image is as clear and vibrant as possible. What's in the Box
Pixma iP4500 photo printer, document kit (cross sell sheet, easy setup instructions, quick start guide), setup software and user's guide on CD-ROM, PGI-5 pigment black ink tank, CLI-8 (black/cyan/magenta/yellow) ink tank, sample media (five 8.5-by-11-inch sheets and four print alignment sheets), power cord, and print head.

 Prints well May 2, 2008
I've only printed a few photos with it but they turned out fine. I've used it mostly for general office work and it's fast and prints nicely. Only complaint is that it's pretty big and takes up a lot of desk space.
 Allow ink refill in some way April 29, 2008
I had emailed and asked Canon many times to allow user refill the ink. They did not respond to that. This printer in some way allowing the ink being refilled. You still have to void the warranty of the printer head. After that, it will allow most the ink cartrige refilled. However, it does not do that to all the ink cartriges. Some times, you still have to check the ink level, then wait for the warning message saying no ink in tank (you actually have a full tank refilled ink in it), then push the continue button on printer to let the printing continue with the refilled inks.
I don't know why Canon have to pull so many stops for people using refilled ink. Otherwise, this will be a wonderful printer. If you are using ink cartrige without refill, it is actually cheaper just buy a new printer on Amazon when the ink is out, since buying a whole set of inks costs more than a whole new printer with full set of inks.
 Fragile and unreliable April 28, 2008
An ongoing nuisance. I already reviewed this in another listing of the same product, but a year later, it continues to be a frustrating contraption. Even their installer software (latest version from Canon site as well as the version that shipped with it) hangs and requires a force restart (MacBook Pro)...
It exhibits excellent print quality and impressive speed when it is behaving, but this is about the most irritating printer I have ever owned and I would not replace it with the same model (even if free). I love other Canon products (cameras in particular)... this is not a random rant.
One ink tank was DOA, but Canon quickly replaced it with no hassles.
Great printer April 26, 2008
I mostly use the printer for work documents, and the duplex feature is really useful. It's fast when not duplexing, but the slower speed for duplexing is worth it to save paper.
The printer set-up quickly on two computers with difference operating systems- Vista and Windows. One weird thing did happen - I went to print a webpage and some of the pictures came out blackened. There was a default in the settings that caused it, and it was easy to fix, but not expected. Other than that, it's been great.
I still haven't printed pictures yet so I can't comment on that.
Canon Pixma iP4500 April 24, 2008
Shopped around for a good price on this model. I am completely satisfied with it. Not being "savvy" about installing computers and printers, I was able to get it up and running in very little time. The print quality is very good, and it's not noisy.
