Canon i455 Ink Cartridges

Canon i455 Printer Review

The Canon i455 is a simple general purpose inkjet printer that is designed to appease and convenience amateur photographers. The output rate is solid, producing up to 18 pages per minute using black printer ink and up to 12 in color. It can also print a 4x6 color image in about 90 seconds. For only having 2 cartridges of Canon i455 ink, the quality of color accuracy is high. For less than $100, the i455 is hard to beat.

In more recent inkjet units, colored printer ink comes in separate tanks. However this unit was manufactured years ago and had cyan, magenta and yellow all in one Canon i455 ink cartridge. The pigment based black has its own cartridge and tends to have a longer life span even though the color cartridge has a higher page yield.

The i455 lacks and automatic document feeder and a slot for direct printing from memory cards, but it does have an extra USB port for printing from compatible digital cameras and camcorders. Users can even do enhancements and sizing from the controls on the camera. This technology is a stepping stone revolutionary PC-free printing.

Canon provides adequate software with the Canon i455 inkjet printers. This software contains many features that help common users print professional level pictures from home. Easy-PhotoPrint automatically fixes red eyes and brightens dull colors and lights. Easy-WebPrint simplifies web page printing by adjusting the size so the entire page prints out rather than the right margin being cut off.

The Canon i455 is a bargain printer with high end quality and average output rate. Low budget home and office users tend to lean towards this unit because of its reliability, durability and fair prices on Canon i455 ink. This unit is slightly outdated, but for the quality and simplicity, it is a steal.
