The Canon PIXMA iP5200 Photo Printer offers premium photo printing with high-speed performance. The printer can produce a borderless 4¡Á6" photo with photolab quality in approximately 36 seconds with the default setting in the printer driver and prints...

The only real complaint that I have with Canon printers in general is the lack of support for printing CD/DVD discs here in N. America. The same printers are sold in Europe and those can print on discs as well as paper media. This didn't used to be such a

Canon Pixma iP5200R Inkjet Printer

Is the Canon iP5200R the ideal home office printer? Simon Williams thinks it is.

Canon Pixma iP5200 review

A bargain printer, but the default results are washed-out

Dual paper sources ; Duplex print as standard ; Faster than pricier sibling ; DVD/CD label printing

Still sluggish compared with some ; Not obvious how to open front panel

A versatile printer at a very competitive price, but our photo test prints were unnaturally pale.

Canon - PIXMA iP5200

Canon's PIXMA iP5200 is an A4 inkjet photo printer that should appeal to the purists. The list of features is relatively short and the price is low as you don't get either an LCD screen or ...

We are deeply impressed by the Canon's PIXMA iP5200. It prints great photos and is very fast, while the running costs are in line with every other inkjet printer under the sun. It's a fairly basic model that offers few extras however this is reflected...
