5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Printer for the price!, December 28, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Canon i455 Desktop Photo Printer (Office Product)

I just recently received the Canon i455 printer as a gift. This is my 3rd photo printer to date. I am very pleased with the print quality I get from this printer. It is reasonally fast and best of all the ink cartridges are very inexpensive compared to other printers I've used. I have used both Lexmark & HP printers as well. Both of them printed well also. The lexmark was very slow to get good quality & the HP was both fast and had good quality, but both of them used very expensive ink cartridges. I don't know yet how long the ink will last in the Canon, but I will be printing a lot more photos than I used to simply because I will not worry about the cost of the ink used.

I would recommend this printer to anybody interested in getting a good photo printer without having to spend a lot of money!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best printer for the money !, August 28, 2004

...It is an
amazing printer. Photos are superb although I did notice a slight
greenish tinge in some photos. Text priting is crisp. The printer is quite fast - I printed a dense, 30 page paper in about 3 minutes.
If you find this for [$] don't think twice. It is well worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thought I would upgrade, but nothing beat my i455, August 17, 2006

I bought this printer with a Canon digital camera in an inexpensive bundle. I quickly outgrew the camera, so I figured I had to upgrade my printer as well. I tried a few other printers which were highly touted by the imaging gurus, but they didn't do any better than this one. I don't know how much I would have to spend to beat my i455.

However, the aftermarket inks that I have tried are really bad, so I stuck with Canon inks and my results were much better.
