Canon PIXMA iP 4300

...my mind). Why the Canon iP4300? I like to look in Which? to see what are the Best Buys when I come to buy electronic goods (our washing machine, fridge-freezer, video and my digital camera were all chosen this way and I’ve had no regrets). From what I can remember (this was before Christmas) in the latest printer test Which? had reviewed the Canon Pixma iP4200 and this was a best buy, so I decided to buy it, but in my search for the cheapest price ...
...was replacing. I bought the Canon Pixma iP4300 from PC World at the beginning of January 07 for about £58, but its RRP is £79. You can currently buy this printer for £59.59 from amazon.co.uk. The Which? printer Best Buys in the test I looked at were dominated by Canon’s so this suggested to me that the Canon printers in general were of a high quality. Which? tested the iP4200 but as the iP4300 is based on it I think it’s fair to assume the test ...

Review of Canon PIXMA iP 4300

...advised me that a the Canon IP4300 was a far better buy, and would be far cheaper to run than any of the Epsons. After he showed me some of the photographic results, I was sold and I got to admit, I am very pleased with my purchase. On getting the printer home, I found it extremely easy to install, I just plugged in the USB cable (not supplied) that was connected to my Epson, Windows XP came up with “New Hardware Detected” I put in the accompanying ...
...From Inkmaster.co.uk Genuine Canon cartridges are £9.90 each for the 13ml ones and £10.90 for the large black 22ml one. On Internet-ink.co.uk you can get compatible cartridges (not Canon) for £22.99 for the complete set of five. I used to use compatible cartridges in my Epson and must admit that I could detect no difference to the originals. However, some users may disagree with me, so you would need to make up your own mind about that. General ...

Review of Canon PIXMA iP 4300

...purchase, so looked specifically at Canon and HP. My main criteria were; - A4 and photo size printing - Good quality photo printing - Borderless printing - High quality colour photos with strong colour representation - Ability to print on a variety of paper medium - Ability to source cheaper non branded replacement cartridges I’ve now had the printer for about 6 weeks and I am very pleased with it. The quality of printing is absolutely excellent ...
...I went to the Canon website and eventually, after about 20 minutes, finally found out exactly where to place the paper! The printer makes use of Pict Bridge technology which both my digital camera and mobile phone/cam have, and I have used this a few times which works really well if you just have a couple of pictures you want printing quickly without the need of having your computer turned on. Because I’ve not the item long I am still using the ...

Just to say that the upside down duplex printing doesn't happen if you have the correct settings. If you're printing landscape, try changing the staple margin to short side left and that should rectify your problems. ...

Review of Canon PIXMA iP 4300

This is a great printer and I really recommend it to anyone needing a small printer. I especially like the quiet function. The amount of times I've needed to print something off first thing in the morning or at night and feel guilty about maybe waking someone up. It's slower than normal when on quiet mode but that is a small price to pay. The only downside to this printer is if you are using both the 2page on one and duplex mode then one side is ...
...It also has the great benefit with having separate ink cartridges for all of the separate colours so if you need to use lots of magenta for example you only have to replace the magenta cartridge so you don't waste ink. People might think that would make it more expensive to run but infact it's very cheap to run, especially if you print a lot. It's also very compact compared to most printers and can all fold up into a box shape so it doesn't have ...

Review of Canon PIXMA iP 4300

My last printer gave up the ghost just before Xmas so I had to find another at a realistic price. I saw the PIXMA IP4300 on the net but no review, trusting Canon's reputation and a very favourable price I bought it, and no regrets so far. Set up was easy, you just follow a quick start sheet and let the machine set itself up, couldn't be easier. The manual however is in disc form, never my favourite method, but it covers everything you need to know. ...
...and also a large black, you can use compatible cartridges at less than £3, but remember to salvage the chip each time. The printer has a sheet feed, manual feed and a cassette feed which enables you to print on virtually any type of material up to A4 fom 64gm to 273gm. The IP4300 also allows you to set the printer for automatic duplexing (double sided). The printer also comes with a little guide which allows you to insert a CD/DVD and print onto ...

Review of Canon PIXMA iP 4300

...friend has just bought the Canon PIXMA iP 4300, and on the last weekend I've been helping her to set it up, because she was afraid that she would break something. When she saw that it's so easy she told me that that she will never disturb me again at least with her printer. When we warmed it up, which only took a moment, we started printing. I must say that I was totally amused when a couple seconds later I looked at those genuine quality photos ...
...color. I also should ad that it looks good because its nice but also it doesn't deconcentrate you, a good looking black box. It's very fast and also it has the Chroma life 100 system for long lasting photos. Another good thing is that you can print at sizes to A4. The only thing (forgive me my Nipiness) that i found disturbing is not even the slightest trace of an LCD monitor, not that it is totally needed, but an additional preview of the ongoing ...

Review of Canon PIXMA iP 4300

...connector. My previous printer the Canon S450 had both allowing me to attach two computers to the same printer which was most useful. It is a big printer but if you have the space I highly recommend it. I have now tried out the duplex printing and im very impressed. Duplex printing is printing on both sides of the paper without having to remove the paper from the machine, it does it for you. The pictbridge compatability works well allowing you ...
...to turn on the computer. You access this ability using the camera as a computer to select the image or images you want to print out. The screen on the camera and the pictbridge compatability allowing this. The camera is connected to the printer via the usb cable supplied with the camera and from the camera into the pictbridge port on the front of the printer. I was very impressed with the quality of the image printed as i have a preference for 35mm ...

Review of Canon PIXMA iP 4300

Initially my printer was very good. Print quality was good and I was pleased with the speed, however the printer has now developed a fault in that on colour prints there are 'streaks' or white lines, gaps in the print. I've always use genuine Canon cartridges and the printer hasn't had a lot of use. ...

Review of Canon PIXMA iP 4300

When I first bought the canon printer and got it out of the box, I felt that I had a printer that was sturdy and solid. The reason why a lot of people complain when they are in the shop is that there is never a cable with the printer. Again this is no exception. So either you buy a new one or hopefully, like me you had one from your last printer. The black and silver trim make it look quite smart, making you want to leave it out in the open. Really ...
...At first the cartridges from Canon were ok but I find at £8 each it does get expensive. I started to use compatible ones. Now then, if you go this route, people say that they break the printer. I have found this not to be true in my situation. The problem is when you have to change the chip over from one cartridge to another. A little tool is provided to remove the chip and some double sided tape for sticking it back on the new one. I have had a ...

Review of Canon PIXMA iP 4300

Just a short review to tell you people that this printer is probably the best inkjet printer out there. Unbelievable print quality for photos and documents and the speed of printing is so good especially if you set it on low quality. Settings can easily be adjusted and it is so easy to setup as the manual is very helpful. Bought one recently and i am not the greatest at computers but the printer was really easy to setup. Normally when i get some ...

Review of Canon PIXMA iP 4300

When this printer works it is fine and it is preferable having individual ink cartridges however we have had a lot of trouble with ours. In fact the first one we returned within weeks of purchase but we are now having the same problem again! It doesn't recognise one of the ink cartridges. It isn't because it is empty or nearly empty it's just decided it's not talking to it so although we've got all the ink we need it won't print. FRUSTRATING! ...

Review of Canon PIXMA iP 4300

Canon do it again with this outstanding printer. If you want photo realistic edge to edge A4 prints of your photographs this is the one. Cheaper than I expected, it has more than satisfied, with prints that are good enough to sell in limited editions. What struck me on first using it was the almost silent operation, so much better than previous inkjets I've owned, and the print appears within a few seconds. The ink cartridges are really easy to remove ...
...cover is opened, and swapping cartridge is a simple operation. I particularly wanted a printer which could print to CDs, and this does it to perfection, covering the whole of the printable area with an image the quality of which is equal to that on photorealistic paper. I couldn't fault this, and have had no reason to regret the purchase, or call the helpline! ...
