 Best Printer ever! January 6, 2009
I initially purchased this machine because it can print direct onto cd's. I was very impressed with the price before it arrived, and boy, I am impressed now. I have used this printer for just over a month now. The prints are excellent, photos excellent, the cd's print beautifully, and the printer is fast, quiet and really quite exceptional. I love the fact that I only have to replace the different colour cartridges individually, instead of replacing the whole thing because one colour runs out!
For the money, I don't believe there is any other printer to match it out there!
I have never owned a Canon printer before, but I am definately sold n them if this is an example of their products!
 Not as good as the IP4500 January 5, 2009

Whilst the quality of prints on photgraphic paper cannot be faulted in any way, the CD/DVD tray is by far the worst I have ever come across. It never seems to work first time and always ejects the tray. This was never the case with my trusty IP4500 - bit a shame really.
A real winner December 29, 2008

I was upgrading from a rather aged HP Deskjet that had become slowly clogged through use of "compatible" ink cartridges. Also, I had not been particulalrly impressed with any printer output I'd seen so I entered the whole purchase experience with some trepidation.
I turned to trusted sources and read online reviews galore and then was further swayed by the iP4600 being a Which? magazine Best Buy and coming 2nd in Channel 5's recent Gadget Show test - praise indeed in my eyes.
So what, do I think...
Pros - the best photo results from a home printer I've ever seen - it truely is impossible to distinguish it from one printed by Jessops, very quick to print, great software bundled with it to allow quick printing of borderless photos, looks very cool and stylish in high gloss black
Cons (although none of these impact me or should put you off) - took a long time to get out of the box and remove all the protective bits and pieces, a long set up/head alignment/software installation procedure (>30 minutes), this is just a printer - no scanner or copier facility.
Rip Off Ink Costs for the Canon 4600 December 16, 2008

I was just about to order the 4600 & have been comparing notes with my brother who has the IP4500.
Most of the comparative reviews state there are very few differences between this printer & the previous model, the IP4500.
However most reviewers completely missed that the ink cartridges for the 4600 are completely different to 4500? The 4500 uses 13ml capacity cartridges, but the new model uses 9ml versions - that's 31% less!!!
Even the large capacity text black is down from 26ml to 19ml (27% less)
That makes for a big increase in running costs for the new 4600 machine.
Canon have generously reduced the RRP of the much smaller cartridge by 30p (2.6%) & presumably hoped no one would notice. So we consumers continue to pay through the nose.
The failure to expose such practices enables manufacturers to continue to get away with such shabby tricks.
I'm off to see if there are any of the old 4500's still available.

Stunnigly great value December 16, 2008

I had been looking for a repacement for the printer that has served me very well for the last 8 years without any problems. I wanted one that would give me the best photo prints as well as providing me with the basic day to day letter and other requirements. Whilst all-in-one solutions may be good for some things I have usually found them to fall short on at least one function and I already have a more than adequate Canon scanner. Speed is also not a priority for me but the specification was more than adequate.
Having looked around at what was available and read the reviews I was drawn to the IP4600 and took the plunge. The printer was delivered in a few days and once out of the box it was straight forward to set it up. I had read somewhere that the printer was only supplied with 4 ink cartridges - the larger capacity black being omitted - but it came with all 5 tanks. Loading the software was simple and the printer was usuable within the hour. The printer comes with drivers for Vista so if I ever upgrade to that operating system it is future proofed. The first 6x4 photo prints I took off were as good as any from a print shop so I was more than pleased. Having tried different photo papers I was then able to see the benefit of the better papers - something not obvious with my previous printer - so I will be buying some good papers now. As for speed the printer is much faster than my previous printer so I am pleased with that.
As I have experienced before with Canon products the software provided is very comprehensive and I have only scratched the surface at the moment doing simple prints. I am now looking forward to being more creative. I am really pleased with the printer - it is superb quality at a very, very reasonable price.
