Canon Pixma iP4820

6 Reviews | About the ZDNet Score

Canon's Pixma iP4820 single-function photo printer produces presentation-quality photos and documents, but the competition offers scan and fax functionality, not to mention extras like Wi-Fi and printing from a USB flash drive, for the same price. We recommend the Epson WorkForce 520 or even the Canon Pixma MP495 instead.

    The Good: Dual 150-sheet paper trays; auto-document feeder saves money with double-sided printing; trays fold up into compact design; high-quality output; easy setup.

    The Bad: Lacks memory card inputs and USB flash support; sluggish print speeds; lacks convenience features like networking and LCD display; competitive multifunction printers cost the same.

    The Bottom Line: Canon's Pixma iP4820 single-function photo printer produces presentation-quality photos and documents, but the competition offers scan and fax functionality, not to mention extras like Wi-Fi and printing from a USB flash drive, for the same price. We recommend the Epson WorkForce 520 or even the Canon Pixma MP495 instead.

    Review Summary: A handsome $99 inkjet with speedy, good-looking text and photo output, the iP4820 will please budget-constrained buyers who don't mind a basic feature set.

    The Verdict: Apart from the flimsy build of a few of the accessories, we found little to dislike about this printer at this price—it's fast, it has automatic duplexing, and it prints beautiful text and photos. The lack of an LCD and Wi-Fi connectivity are necessary...

    Review Summary: The Canon Pixma iP4820 color inkjet printer does just about everything well, does it fairly quickly, and does it quietly. Though you could spend less than its $100 price (as of August 20, 2010) on a competitor, some of those cheaper models can...

    The Verdict: A solid choice for home and student users, the iP4820 provides very good speed and print quality.

    Review Summary: The Canon Pixma iP4820 is a compact single function photo printer with print resolution up to 9600 x 2400 dpi, a five cartridge ink system, auto duplexing, Canon's Full HD Movie Print, 2-way paper feeding, and a front side PictBridge port

    The Verdict: The Canon Pixma iP4820 may fit well in a tiny dorm room or as a desktop printer in a home office but it's hindered by its lack of connectivity options and expensive ink replacement over the long run. But as hardware, it functioned as advertised so I...
