Very good

7.1

out of 10
CNET Editor's rating: 7.1 out of 10
Reviewed by Felisa Yang
Review date: 10/18/07
Release date: 8/21/07

The good: Good overall print quality; two paper sources; PictBridge port; built-in auto duplexer.

The bad: No preview LCD or memory card slots.

The bottom line: The Canon Pixma iP4500 is a bit too expensive for basic home users, but those who do a bit more printing than the occasional e-mail and map will be happy with its speed and quality.
