Advantages: fast, quiet and flawless working printer

Disadvantages: ink is running out quickly, is expensive

This is not going to be the most detailed review about the 'Canon Pixma iP 4200' but it is clear and brief containing the most important pros and cons of this printer.

I bought my Pixma iP 4200 something like 1 1/2 years ago and since then I`ve used it quite a lot.

Pixma iP 4200 is a color printer which is working with inkjet technology. It prints pretty good quality photos and it also does double-sided printing. It is printing fast and flawless even if it does the double-sided printing.

It uses 5 different ink cartridges. I appreciate this because you can replace just one color, rather than having to toss the entire cartridge simply because one color is out. However, it heavily uses color inks and they are not cheap at all.

One more thing I don`t like is that it shows the ink as running out but I've printed probably close to 100 b/w copies since it started showing it. Also it takes a little time after turning it on to "warm" up.

Summarizing I`d still say that this printer is a good one. Especially if you consider the price. I paid around 50 quid what I think is a reasonable price.

Hope this helps a bit. You can find this review and many others I`ve written on www.best-price.com, too. It is similar to dooyoo but has a lot more community features.
