I would stay away from IP4500 as I use to own one and there is no
noticeable difference in the print quality.
The Canon IP4500 is the best standard format printer today and is the
best value. The newer formulated Canon ink has the best fade resistance
of all of their previous models.
Also the cartridges are
chipped Not a problem, they work find.
and the only way so far to refill and reset the chip is
through a refill store.
Not a biggie if you want the best photo quality with the least risk of
fading. And if you do not print much the OEM ink presents the lowest
risk of printhead clogging.
I sold the printer. The IP4000 prints great
and even better with aftermarket ink...
Not true. I have an IP4000 using Canon ink and the results are very
good. I think that the IP4500 is better. The visual difference in
print quality may not always be apparent but the new ink is more fade
resistent.
Canon stated that any generic
ink will do..
No they did not. Look at their website.
.I use only aftermrket ink designed for this
printer...the black is out of this world.
It certainly out of this world and does not work well on earth.
When I bought the printer I? was having a problem with the OEM pigment
black for text printing. My IP4000 never had a problem.
I changed papers to HP colorlok but was still
having problems with highlighters. The ink would still smudge. When I
read a artical in the paper a Canon rep said any generic ink would
print black as good as Canon's OEM...I figuard that I would try a
black designed for Canon's pigment black. It worked no more smudging
It dries so fast that it will clog the printhead if you do not print a
great deal.
