I have had this printer for over a year now - I bought it when they had just hit the market. Looking at the price now brings a tear to my eye (£54 is an absolute bargain). I shopped around at the... more

    Advantages Advantages Cheap but high quality

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No screen

    I've always gone with HP for my printing needs and since ive got this I've been asking myself why. When I brought this printer a few months ago it cost me about £90 but i think its in the shops now for £60-£70 so its quite a cheap printer, therefore it must be rubbish? NO its the best printer I've ever had, true i never spend much on printers but this definitely surprised me with the quality. So what's it good for you ask? well here we go; General printing of Documents: Its fast, quality is always good and I've never had a jam or malfunction and I do a lot of printing I usually get through ... more

    Advantages Advantages Quiet, fast, square, a paper tray plus a feeder and excellent prints.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Slightly bigger than others of the same price range.

    My previous printer was a Canon i850 - not a bad little printer - but it gave up recently so I started shopping around for a replacement. I half-heartedly looked at other makes, but the price and quality of the Canon printers, together with the price of their cartridges, always drew me back to them. They have a large range that I considered - the IP4200 was the cheapest at around £60, then the IP5200 and I also considered the MP500, an "all-in-one" printer. The specs I looked at were: IP4200 - price around £60, resolution 9600x2400 at 1pl (picolitre - very fine drops of ink), DVD/CD direct ... more

    Advantages Advantages Printing Quality

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Noise

    We recently purchased this printer because the price was good and we basically needed one. We came across the Canon PIXMA iP4200 because it looked good and the price wasn't that bad either (about less than £70). At first glance, it has a sleek and neat design, plus, it isn't all too bulky either unlike our other one which is huge- for the canon, when you don't need to use it, you can simply shut the lids down which is good because it makes it more compact and prevents any dust and dirt from getting in and damaging the thing so the practicality and looks is a added bonus. Another great thing is ... more

    Advantages Advantages easy to use, 5 seperate ink cartridges

    Disadvantages Disadvantages does not have a screen

    After buying my canon ip4200 to replace an old printer I did not expect much from a printer costing so little, but I was pleasantly surprised. my first print job was a music cd that I had recorded for my wife, this was my first printable cd so i had to rely heavily on the bundled software. again using the easy print tool box this was very easy to do and the results were amazing. This software allows you to use any photo or picture, you can also type in any text onto the disc. using the supplied cd holder. For general document printing this printer is unbeatable, with 2 paper feeders, one ... more

    Advantages Advantages Prints well

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Chipped cartridges a nightmare.

    Ok. This is another thing I don't actually own. It's the main computer I work on at school and I sort of know what I'm talking about because I'm in charge of IT. So I err....bought it. This'll be a brief one. It's good. It prints well, has an easy set-up and came with functional, if not spectacularly exciting software. It has NASTY chipped cartridges which make cheap running a pain! It's quite chunky - you could almost have put a scanner on it. First the print quality. 9600 x 2400 colour and 600x600 black. The prints are crisp, clean and colour matching was good. Possibly the best of the 6 or ... more
