Canon PIXMA iP4850 review

The Canon Pixma iP4850 has the same basic printing specifications as the Canon PIXMA MG5250 multifunction, but drops scanning and copying as well as the built-in colour screen to keep costs down. It's a lot cheaper, too; at £99 it's Canon's cheapest...

The Canon PIXMA iP4850 produces detailed documents and photos, and running costs are more than reasonable if you're not exclusively printing high quality photos.

Canon Pixma iP4850, the fastest all-round inkjet on the market

Great buy

This printer like all Canon printers does a fantastic job. I like the direct print for CDs and DVDs, easy to use and easy to install.

Better than my old Epson

I had always had an Epson printer which to be fair it was good & lasted about 6/7 years. When it stopped working i looked at other printers & this one sounded quite good & my sister reccomended it to me. So far it's doing what i need it to do & it's a...
