Canon i470D Ink Cartridges

Canon i470D Printer Review

The Canon i470D is a color photo printer designed to simplify the printing of lab-quality pictures and bring consumers a step closer to eliminating the need for a PC when printing a digital image. Using the helpful software provided by Canon and the redesigned print head that dispenses newly upgraded Canon i470D ink, this inkjet unit is among the highest in its class for quality and output rate. It can print a page in 3.3 seconds using black printer ink and 5 seconds in color.

The i470D has capabilities to print directly from any compatible digital camera or camcorder and has slots for various memory cards. The controls on the top panel of the printer can be used to select pictures and even edit size. The Easy-PhotoPrint software application offered automatically enhances brightness and sharpness while reducing red-eyes and dullness.

MicroFine Droplet Technology is the progressive system found in older Canon inkjet devices. This technology uses nozzles, 1,088 in the i70D, to dispense Canon i470D ink per inch of paper. The nozzles and printer ink combine to produce a resolution of 4800x1200dpi in color and 600x600 in black. Unfortunately, users with larger printing needs will find themselves replacing the Canon i470D ink cartridges more than expected.

The i470D weighs 8.8 pounds and measures at 15.5x10.1x8.6 inches. It is compact and sharp looking, making it ideal for any desk. Experts agree this is a solid printer for a bargain deal. Consumers are mostly satisfied, though some show concern of the small size of the Canon i470 ink cartridges. However, each tank has a high capacity page yield that will last a while for standard volume printing.
