Canon Pixma iP4700

The Canon Pixma iP4700 color inkjet printer costs just $100 (as of March 29, 2010), but it offers some impressive features for the price--and reasonable ink costs. It would be a solid choice for a student or a busy family.

Inexpensive ; Automatic duplexer and 300-sheet paper capacity ; Economical ink

Limited connectivity ; Front-panel lighting codes are hard to decipher

Canon Pixma IP4700 inkjet printer

A stylish inkjet printer that produces great output

Fast, great output, built-in duplexing, bundled Easy-PhotoPrint EX software

Some households might find a multifunction more appealing

The Canon Pixma IP4700 really impressed us. It is a good quality inkjet printer that produces excellent results in a short amount of time. We also liked the fact that it was exceptionally quiet. If excellent prints are what you need and you aren’t in...
