Canon Pixma ip4000's photo printing quality and speed is excellent. Documents have minimal feathering. On photo paper, the printer manages good color accuracy, nice detail in shadows, and plenty of contrast. However plain-paper printing is not as good. The Canon Pixma ip4000 is inexpensive for its performance.

The Canon i860 printer is fast. It provides high photo quality. No banding and individual ink features are very convenient. No more replacing a tricolor cartrigde when you run out of only red. Individually replaceable ink tanks lowers the "per print" cost.
