All right, let's get started.
The box is quite compact but failed despite the voluminous design of the printer, which is a transport under his arm (from the store) acceptable design, but that in itself is interesting only for pedestrians * g *.
I decided in advance before availability for this printer, as my old Canon S750 for around 9 years old limited his ministry refused. Had I probably still buy the really cheap Canon cartridges, the S750 I would be wearing to the grave spared. But seis drum.
Since I have always been always satisfied with Canon printers so far, never had a problem, it was clear to me that there is a Canon again.
And so much choice on the IP4700, which detaches in the family the IP4600.
Now we come to the really important information.
A USB cable is not included, not so bad, because the old USB cable is still present.
In the box located next to the 5 cartridges, 2 sheets for the print head alignment and a small packet of 10x15 photo paper, as well as the CD frame including 8 cm ring holder for the printing of blanks which have a white printable surface -. The purchase of blanks sure ... otherwise there nasty surprises.
Furthermore, there is a thick manual, the multi lingual is included.
The printer is securely packaged, surrounded by bags and Styrofoam padding.
If you have brought the unit from the bag, it is necessary to deduct the almost countless adhesive films ...
Now he stands there in its naked beauty, shiny black chic ...
The print head is assembled as supplied.
So consult the manual, and used. This is not a problem even for inexperienced, you can not go wrong.
On the CD there is also still a manual, which I feel is better because the printed multilingual is una you constantly have to read in the third row to the dt. Language find out which turned out to be a bit tedious for me ...
To lay out the printed manual, depending on the language I would have found better, so I feel the digital assistance as useful.
Within 5 minutes, the print head is installed in the printer and the 5 diodes illuminate the fashionable shade of red, which symbolizes widerum operational readiness.
On the PC, the supplied software is quick to set up on CD.
It should be but said dasss already more current software belonging to the printer, is available on the Canon site.
[...]
If you have everything installed, you can actually get started right away.
First, a test with a test page from Windows ...
Wow, this sharpness of the writing - sharp - without exaggerating.
Next, I printed using the Easy PhotoPrint EX software photo testweise on the included photo paper. It falls as the size when placed in the rear paper holder on which is passed the paper to be printed always centered in the printer, no matter ultimately is. The sliding support center in any case the printed matter before the move ...
The photo print was finished in record time. Although I have not stopped, but I am always amazed by the speed and quality. Even if the quality of the photos no 4MP hergibt ... even a photo on the net has been put on paper in a quality that I could really hard to believe.
Even my S750 was clearly inferior in this discipline ...
Then I was curious to see how that works printed with the CD ...
So buy printable blanks and loose-label program on the CD.
Even if the software from the Windows 95 look stale her dowdy looks, it makes the whole what they should.
Even though I do not understand that I can only define 10 guides for positioning objects. Equally incomprehensible is the fact why I can do nothing when aligning objects centered ... it runs accordingly all comes down to manual work.
It is nice that you can save your layouts comfortably ...
Then, the first print on CD ...
Followed the instructions on the screen, the CD holder lined with NEM blank, flap, holder inserted biszur arrow mark and then the OK button is pressed in the driver, which always takes a hand to the ...
Suddenly, the CD was printed, simply fascinating. Quality is absolutely outstanding.
The printer driver provides virtually unerschöpflcihe settings, duplex printing works fine and the ink-saving function incl. Multiple pages on one page and print, is also a good thing, when people used special software needed.
Conclusion: I am satisfied with the device and it would not hesitate to buy again and recommend.
