If you are looking for great output quality, especially when printing photos at a reasonably low price then the Canon Pixma iP4600 should be your choice.
The iP4600 is capable of producing high quality bright and crisp photo prints with a maximum resolution of 9600 x 2400dpi. It uses 5 separate ink tanks (cyan, magenta, yellow, black, and pigment-black) to ensure a clear and accurate output with even distribution of colour every time. The printer can print 10 x 15cm photolab-quality prints in approximately 20 seconds.
With the iP4600, Canon provides Easy-PhotoPrint EX software that offers a range of practical functions like print calendars, albums and automatic photo correction, including red-eye correction.
The iP4600 comes with PictBridge technology. With PictBridge technology there is no need to turn the PC on for printing and you have a quick and convenient way to print images from compatible digital cameras, camcorders or mobile phones.
The iP4600 is very economical on ink cartridges. Since the printer uses 5 separate ink tanks for each colour you only need to replace and buy what you need. The auto duplex feature also adds up in cutting paper cost and increasing efficiency.
