Great All Round Printer [Posted on 2008-12-12]
I didn't want an all-in-one printer as I already have a Canon scanner that I like. Using Canon photo paper, the photo prints of my digital files look fantastic, and it does a great job with documents and Google directions. The software isn't intrusive on my system, and is really easy to use. This printer was exactly what I was looking for.

Great Printer But There Are No Off Brand Inks Avail so it is expensive [Posted on 2008-12-22]
It's a great printer. Easy to set up and faster than its predecessors. Prints great color,B&W and photos. However, the ink tanks are smaller and hold less ink so they have to be replenished more often and currently none of the off brand suppliers have the ink in stock so you have to buy Canon. My wife and I each have a printer since she does a lot of printing to advertise our USCGA Boating Safety classes with colored posters. She bought the IP4500 several months ago but it was not available so I bought the IP4600 thinking that they would have the same ink tanks but no they do not so we now have to order our ink separately adding to the expense. Other than that, I love the printer.

ok photo printing, horrible black and white text printing, slow, expensive ink [Posted on 2009-01-04]
This printer is very disappointing. I replaced a very old Canon BJC-8200 and the old printer was better in every aspect. The ip4600 is very fast once it starts printing but it takes a good 20 seconds to 3 minutes to start printing. The printer will move the print head around while you wait for it to start printing. It does this every time. Sure the stats on Canon's web page make this seem like a fast printer (it is only after if finally starts printing). The quality of color photo is about as good as my old bjc-8200 and the quality of a text document is far worse. I am amazed how bad an MS word or excel document looks (worse then a 15 year old inkjet). Also, the colors in the print are always way off compared to the actual photo on screen. I have tried every adjustment. Ink is also very expensive. You will spend much more on ink then you spend on the actual printer. It is a horrid printer overall and I would never recommend this to anybody.

Replacement printer [Posted on 2009-01-06]
My only complaint about this printer is that it doesn't print on CD and DVD blank disks.

Otherwise, this is a truly great low-cost photo printer in the great tradition of Canon printers. It replaced an Epson printer, and I couldn't be happier.

I love it! [Posted on 2009-01-08]
Beautiful photo printing. Prints well on CD labels, but not on the actual CDs like the previous model did. Other than that, I love the quality, ease of use, and Canon customer service.
