Canon Pixma iP4200 Photo Printer: Save your pennies

Not much irritates me more than when an el-cheapo colour printer with a combined ink cartridge runs out of ONE ink colour, while the other colours still have plenty of ink. This means that you have to throw away an otherwise perfectly good ink cartridge just because you ran out of one of the four colours! And then, the replacement cartridge costs 50 bucks or more, which is an utter rip-off.

However, printers with separate ink cartridges for each colour are coming down in price - which is great news for us consumers. I'm a firm believer in paying an extra 50 or 60 dollars upfront when it means that I'll be saving hundreds down the track, since most Canon ink cartridges are around $20 each.

The Canon Pixma iP4200 Photo Printer is one of the best of the new breed of cheap ultra-high resolution Photo Bubble Jet printers. Using 5 (!) different cartridges (2 Black, 1 Cyan, Yellow, Magenta), means that ink can be replaced as they are required, rather than throwing away all-in-one cartridges and thus, wasting ink and money. Add to that Canon's FINE printhead technology, developed through years of groundbreaking work with Bubble Jets, and you have one extremely high quality printer, that won't break the bank to run.
