The Canon Pixma iP3500 Inkjet Printer gives an impressive speed and very good output. It also has useful features at a very reasonable price. It has the advanced type of print technology that gives this printer the high performance, which produces borderless photos equipped with a resolution of up to 4800 x 1200 color dpi. Plus, you can generate photos from credit card sizes of up to 8.5” x 11”. Aside from this, your documents will bring out bold and laser quality text. It also prints fast, usually taking only 47 seconds to have a borderless print.

You can also print your photos directly onto DV camcorders, digital cameras and even on your camera phones, for your convenience. Plus, the 2 distinct paper trays enable you to keep photo papers and plain papers so that you are always print ready. Hence, this is the best choice for home users who only have basic printing needs but wants quality looking prints as well. It only costs about $80, which is actually good enough either for general personal usage of printing emails and directions or for school reports and the like. Moreover, the design of Canon Pixma is very simple and straight forward. It only stands 17.2 inches wide, 11.9 inches deep and 5.7 inches tall. Plus, it only weighs 10.8 pounds. Its color is black and silver.

Furthermore, the control panel is basically missing and the only buttons that you can see in front of the printer would be the power button and the cancel/feed buttons. This is along with the PictBridge Enabled USB port. It also has two input options, the rear input support that folds out from the body of the printer, and the front input support that extends out from the front face. The rear input can keep as many as 150 sheets of plain paper and it is good for all suitable paper types while the front inputs can only hold up to 100 sheets of plain paper and should only be used for this purpose. This is due to the fact that the means of paper fed through the front input only enables the paper to bend around the roller, making it not recommendable for thick media such as photo paper. The regarded output area, on the other hand, has a tray over the frontal input area.

In several Canon Printers, you will find a lever you can utilize in order to alter the distance between the prints heads and the paper. Normally, the lever is concealed away in the bowels on the front output area but in Canon Pixma iP3500, Canon has moved it to the face of the printer, making it easier to find.

Thus, Canon Pixma uses four ink systems with individual ink cartridges. This kind of ink system actually reduces ink waste. Since this printer lacks a control panel, you can make any changes through the driver, making it comprehensive. You can also stipulate the type of paper, alter the source of the paper, perform manual or duplex jobs as well as apply specialized photo treatments like monochrome effects on sepia, black and white, and others. Lastly, noise reduction and a photo optimizer are guaranteed. You can even make a profile for your most frequently used print jobs. The Canon Pixma iP3500 definitely functions very well against similar priced printers that are also available in the market, especially when it comes to print speed and quality.
