It is a known fact that the quality of a printer is in the quality of its end product. Canon had this in mind when they designed the Canon PIXMA IP4850 printer, and in particular its brand new revolutionary ink system featuring the new PGI-525 and CLI-526 inks. Why have I written this Canon printer review? Because the new ink system is so exciting, its hard not to write a review about this wonderful printer.

No IP4850 ink review would be complete without an opening comment or two on the new five-color ink system, complete with pigmented and dye-based blacks for crisp, clean documents and high quality sharp photos that are sure to impress.

An unusual but certainly welcome feature of the Canon PIXMA IP4850 printer is the HD Movie Printing feature which allows you to capture movies scenes, via appropriate accessories, and print them directly from your printer without the need for a computer.

As a document printer, the PIXMA IP4850 can save you time with its quick printing speed of 10.5 ppm for black and white and 6.1 ppm for color. This combined with the built in USB drive reader make the PIXMA IP4850 a versatile printer also capable of printing directly onto compatible CD's, DVD's, and Blu-Ray disks. Built into the printer is also the capacity to hold up to 300 pages of regular paper between the two paper trays.

In addition to examining the document printing capabilities of the PIXMA IP4850, this printer review would not be complete without a discussion of the photo printing capabilities. The Canon IP4850 produces a 4 x 6 photograph at a respectable speed of 46 seconds.

Here is a very interesting new feature of the PIXMA IP4850 (and a comment certainly worth of a Canon PIXMA IP4850 ink review).
