Good printer, but worse than its predecessors

Canon PIXMA iP4700 A4 Inkjet (Personal Computers)

Customer Review

The Pixma iP4700 is certainly one of the best inkjet printers in this price range. The print quality is very convincing both in text and in photo printing. The ability to print on CDs and DVDs directly, also have not all competitors.

Since I already owned the previous iP4300 from 2007, I can compare the two devices very well. Unfortunately, I have to say that the iP4700 has not improved, but in some respects even worse than its predecessor. Most disturbing me the following two points:

1) Compared with the iP4300 iP4700 has the less pigmented black ink nozzles for, whereby the S / W printing is slowed. Most striking is the difference in speed when printing in high quality, which has lasted much longer. When printing text at normal quality also the print quality is slightly worse.

2.) The ink cartridges are much smaller and more expensive again in the end, as the already expensive cartridges of previous generation.

Otherwise, the models are largely the same and differ only in the details. Ultimately, I can recommend the iP4700 concerning the print quality. However, I am disappointed that he is compared to the iP4300 printer worse. Progress I imagine otherwise.
