This Canon Pixma iP4200 is the best printer I have ever owned, I have had Lexmark, HP and Epson printers in the past and been disappointed with them all for various reasons, when my last printer died, I went for this one, partly because of good reviews and partly for a new brand.
The iP4200's silver plastic case feels solid and looks less boxy than other recent Canon models.Canon PIXMA iP4200 printer - Features The Canon PIXMA iP4200 is an advanced machine with impressive performance for small price, the Canon PIXMA iP4200 photo printer is priced at a level that will not break the bank. The iP4200 printer prints upto 9600 x 2400 dpi color resolution. Replacing the popular iP3000 and iP4000 models, the iP4200 model produces borderless photo lab quality 4x6-inch photos in approximately 60 seconds. The printer uses five individual ChromaLife100 ink tanks along with the Canon FINE (Full-Photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering) print head system. ContrastPLUS technology - a system that includes a dye-based black ink for sharper contrast - works together with FINE to produce crisp, high-contrast results.Standard text results are great aswell. Due to the use of an extra high density black ink tank.
The Canon ink status detection system is used to alert you to low ink levels and to ensure that the ink tanks are installed and working correctly. Under the system, if an ink tank is accidentally placed in the incorrect slot on the print head, a light on the individual tank will begin to flash. If the customer does not fully seat an ink tank in its slot, the light will not illuminate, indicating that it has not been correctly installed. If an ink tank is running low, the light on the ink will begin to flash. When the ink runs out completely, it will flash at a higher rate. It just wont let you do anything wrong.
Canon iP4200 printer - Printing Users can print directly via most contemporary digital cameras and digital video cameras, thanks to the printer's PictBridge port. With Canon camera owners who use the Print/Share button, producing a 4x6-inch print is as simple as one touch. The PIXMA iP4200 printer also supports USB 2.0 Hi-Speed access. The iP4200 printer's futuristic cubic design incorporates built-in dual paper trays for the Canon exclusive two-way feeding and automatic duplex printing for two-sided text and photo prints.
CD/DVD printing I can not say much about this as I have not tried it yet. All the software is there ready to use and as soon as I get some printable cd's I will be giving it a try. If it is as good as my friends ip3000 I will be happy.
