PIXMA iP4300
This is one fast, versatile photo printer. Thanks to its patented print head and 5-color ink system, you can quickly produce spectacular, long-lasting photos with borderless edges—from credit-card size up to 8.5" x 11"—along with bold, laser-quality text. The two paper trays let you hold both plain and photo paper, so you're always ready to print text or photos. And for convenience, you can print 2 sided without manually flipping over the page!

Hi, I am a small design house owner and I bought this printer when I got my Macbook pro and I just had to tell all of you, it is a GREAT printer. For my printing needs plus photos, I use this printer for everything and it has turned out some nice material. Thank you canon for making me a printer believer.

wow!
Date: November 5, 2009
Pros: Easy Setup, easy to use, Low Ink Consumption, reliable, has a silent mode
I love this printer so much. It prints my photos and text quite fast, and i love it how I can put the printer into silent mode. While it doesn't print that fast, i can print great photos while my roommate sleeps in the room beside mine. I love how you can use the cartridge and the manual feed for either two different types of paper or to double the amount of paper you can add to the printer. If I had to buy a printer again, I'd get this one for sure. Only issue I have with it is that the door to the ink cartridge head doesn't lock in place, so when I need to open up the front door it pops open very easily. i'd give this a 10 or even an 11

Excelent Chioce
Date: October 21, 2009
Pros: durable, Easy Setup, easy to use, fast print speed, Low Ink Consumption, reliable, Sharp Tones & Colors
Great printer. I use it a lot for photo printing and the results are great, even for full page letter size the colors are clean and sharp.
The price for cartridges are reasonable and with separated tanks you can use the ink until very last drop.
I recommend this printer.

Works as advertized
Date: March 5, 2009
No issues, works as advertized. With long use no problems with printer heads, banding, etc. Have owned another Canon printer with no issues. Became a fan of the company after the way they handled a DOA printer that I got for a friend.

Best Printer Ever
Date: March 1, 2009
Pros: Compact Design, durable, Easy Setup, easy to use, Low Ink Consumption, reliable, Sharp Tones & Colors, great support
Cons: Slow Print Speed
The Cannon iP4300 is a great printer for photo or all around use. The ink colors replace separately so no need to buy a cartridge if only one color is spent.
More importantly, the quality of printer for the price results in an exceptional value.
Finally, I have always received great customer service from Canon. They respond specifically to the questions I ask where other printer makers send canned robot responses that are identical to the trouble screens in the printer box.
I have also purchased a 4500, and will never buy another printer brand as long as Canon keeps up the great work. (I have their scanners too.)
Only complaint is plain page document (Word, etc.) printing seems slow, but I love the duplex printing.

Best feature of all--it works!!
Date: February 14, 2009
Pros: durable, Easy Setup, easy to use, Low Ink Consumption, reliable
I've owned many different types of inkjet printers (mostly HP) and I always had some type of glitch when I try printing to them after a long period of inactivity (like 30 days). This printer is fantastic because it sits dormant until I say print, then starts right up and prints. Also, I have this printer and a laser printer shared in my home network. After a few weeks of not printing from my laptop, I can't seem to print on my laser for some reason, but I can always print to the Cannon--it starts up like the laptop was connected to it.
Yes, it has great features and the printing is great. I love the multiple ink tanks that allow me to replace only the ones that are low (which I can see through the tanks themselves). Plus, like other reviewers have said, the ink doesn't run dry if I don't use if for a while (like my HP printers did).
I'm kind of sold on Cannon for inkjet printers. I seriously might try one of their laser printer when my old Brother multifunction gives out. If you're on the fence about a Cannon versus another type of printer, I'd recommend trying the Cannon.
I don't really have any cons for this printer--it does what I want it to do.

iP4300 Canon printer - the best
Date: January 18, 2009
Pros: durable, Easy Setup, easy to use, reliable
I paid less than $100 for this printer years ago. It has worked consistently all these years and is still going strong in 2009. I printed thousands of flyers in connection with my local grass roots activism. I've printed thousands of post cards on card stock, and they were thread through the printer just fine. I've had other printers through the years and none can compare with the Canon.

Versatile, durable, & affordable
Date: January 10, 2009
Pros: durable, Easy Setup, easy to use, fast print speed, Low Ink Consumption, reliable, Sharp Tones & Colors, affordable
Cons: difficult to find setting specs for other media
I've now had my PIXMA iP4300 for 1 1/2 years. In that time, I've had only 1 paper jam (my fault - pulling on the sheet while it was printing) and only 1 incident of imperfect print quality (hair from my long-hair cat got on print-head - easily fixed). My printer has otherwise been an incredibly wonderful investment.
I had a high-quality HP Officejet for a couple of years &, compared to that, this one is light years ahead in print quality & reliability. When I printed my first photo on this printer, I was floored - couldn't believe the sharpness & color quality. Now, 1.5 years later, the photos are still just as perfect. Photos are printed with such accuracy in color that, considering the limitations of putting a 3-D image on paper, they do pretty fair justice to their subjects.
One project I've completed with this printer included printing >20 DVD case inserts with primarily yellow backgrounds. I printed all 20-odd inserts on one cartridge of yellow ink. The fact that I can replace single colors as needed instead of one multiple-color cartridge saves a great deal of money. My ink costs since switching from the HP to the iP4300 have been cut by about 70%. I have had no ink leakage in the time I've owned the printer.
The print quality is best on Canon paper. Glossy (esp. photo paper plus glossy) prints beautifully with vivid colors & excellent sharpness. The color vibrance & sharpness even go up another notch with Canon Matte Photo Paper, though (my preference).
The only downside to my use of this printer doesn't involve the quality or capacity of the printer itself. The only downside I've experienced is difficulty in finding instructions (both in the manual and on the Canon site) for printing labels, etc., (e.g. Avery address labels, business cards). I've found that the printer does handle these products without difficulty, but it does take some guess-work to figure out which settings to use. For Kodak paper products, Kodak has a page on their website giving settings for using their products with most specific printers. Have not seen same with HP paper products. Canon paper is still yields the best results, though. If only Canon made versionsof the various Avery products...
The printer was very easy to connect to my computer & I've had no issues with Vista compatibility. USB cable could be a foot longer, though.
When I bought my new computer in late May 2007, I decided, after much research, to go with a separate printer & scanner since doing so would allow the best results with the least expense. Getting the PIXMA iP4300 and the Canoscan 4400f was much cheaper than an all-in-one & I've had tremendous results with both products. I just wish now I could find a Canon printer similar in its focused function (not all-in-one), excellent photo print quality, & reasonable price so that I could replace my dad's HP for him. This printer just blows the mid-upper range HPs out of the water!
Oh - I LOVE the 2-sided printing as well! It still works perfectly! The self-cleaning abilities of the printer are also much appreciated.

Great Printer
Date: November 14, 2008
Pros: durable, easy to use, ink does't dry up
Cons: High Ink Consumption, ink expensive
This has been a EXCELLENT printer. The ink doesn't dry up if the printer isn't used for awhile. That has been a problem with other ink jet printers I have owned.
For the category it is in the printer performs very well!
