This is an A4 printer/copier/fax machine. The main difference between this and the hundreds of other 3 in 1 inkjets out there is that the ink for the G4511 comes in bottles not cartridges. The bottles are big and the prices for them are about the same as for a cartridge holding less than a tenth as much ink. Canon claims 12,000 black pages and 7,000 colour from full tanks. While in the past I’ve found page print claims to be more than twice what I actually achieve, even 6,000/3,500 would make a substantial saving on ink. My lightly used Pixma ip8750 runs at very little change from £100 for a full set of XL ink cartridges, so three ink changes match the original cost of that printer.With this G4511 that ink is going to last me forever – even if Canon’s claims are exaggerated for what people generally print. Mind you this printer isn’t really aimed at the domestic user, it is for a small office and there I think the savings from bottles over ink cartridges may well be quite noticeable.You’ll need to clear a little over 7” x 17” x 21” of space for this printer with all the paper guides extended before setting up.Set up requires filling the ink tanks, ensuring that the correct colour goes into the correct tank. Everything is clearly labelled. The stoppers on the ink tanks are very stretchy and tight fitting. They take a bit of wiggling to get back fully afterwards. The print heads just drop in, after raising their cover, but they don’t look level and that seems to be okay. No force is necessary. Remember to push the oval blue buttons down after closing their cover. The top is held up by a support and there is no way to release this other than pressing down on the cover. A horrible click that sounds like something might have broken is the precursor to a damped automatic lowering of the top.Set up is relatively easy if you follow the manual’s instructions. I noticed that some of the buttons on the printer’s control panel just sort of grunted at me like they were having a momentary holiday, but I think that was a clue that setup hadn’t finished. It does involve a bit of back and forth to the printer and router if your system fails to set up automatically – as mine did.Despite both the many-paged A4 manuals supplied on paper, only about half a dozen pages were English and I had to delve into the mysteries of the Canon website to download a manual. This by the way is not for this specific printer, searching for G4511 got me the equivalent of puzzled looks from Canon’s website. But I was able to download a Pixma G4000 series manual, which does the job and is a necessary read because operation is not straightforward – at least not until it becomes familiar.Black and White copies come out with a paler black than the original. Colour copies do not accurately reproduce the colours of the original, but they come close. Pastel shades suffer most. On ordinary paper photos come out softer, with a noticeable loss of crispness in a direct comparison of original and copy.Printing photographs I did a direct comparison between my Pixma ip8750 (which, to be fair, is a dedicated photo printer) and this G4511 on Canon’s Photo Plus II gloss paper. The G4511 was found wanting. Colours are not as rich and blacks are just not black. They are very dark, with maybe a slight purplish tinge, but not black. There was a very slight band of fading along the top edge. Seen on their own the prints are quite acceptable they just suffer when compared.I don’t need or use fax facilities so I can’t comment on that.As an office printer where volume rather than high quality is required then I think this is certainly worthy of consideration. And it is clearly designed for an office rather than a domestic environment. My feeling is that these bottled inks do not quite produce the richness and depth of colour I’m used to from my over-priced cartridges. But since I’m a low-volume domestic user I’m going to stick with my A3 printer for all photo prints. But the G4511 will be handy for printing off web pages and occasional documents where high quality is not an issue.. At least it will sit on my desk next to my PC which the A3 printer is much too big to do.

I haven't used Canon printers for a long while, as they had both reliability and quality problems. With this printer, instead of going the budget route, they have put some good design work in, which makes the printer more expensive to buy but provides high quality (and fast) printouts alongside cheaper running costs by using bottle fed cartridges.Most printers can produce decent text, and the differences really show themselves with photographs. I compared the Canon with the Epson XP-960, Epson's flagship product. The colour photo's were equally good, and I would be happy with either. The Canon was slightly quicker to print, but not enough to really make a difference.The Epson has the facility to print on A3 paper (I use this to expand music manuscripts) while the Canon is limited to A4. However a set of inks for the Epson is not far short of £100 for a single set of 24XL cartridges, which makes the bottles for the Canon so much cheaper in running costs.Set up was very quick, and while you can go wireless, I'm always happier with the security of USB connection, which works well. It installs software from a CD-Rom and checks for updates, and again Canon have clearly put in good design work to ensure they are fit for purpose.I will use the Canon for ink-intensive operations, but retain the Epson for A3 work and general draft documents. If I could only have one, I'd stick with the Epson, but if you don't need A3 capability you won't go far wrong with the Canon.

I love the idea of this - instead of cartridges that dry out and cost a fortune, these uses ink bottles - which means what you put in is what is used as they don’t dry out in the same way. It’s far cheaper to run and feels much better value. It’s a fairly big unit and I think Canon have taken the view people really won’t touch the unit itself after initial set up as the display is very poor - but you can manage most of it via the computer or to a degree via mobile app.It really is superb in terms of no frills printing either in a small office or home, particularly where you’re doing a lot of bulk black printing.It isn’t Canon’s prettiest design, but it’s very practical.

Excellent printer. Not too difficult to set up and then economical. Very pleased with the product and it was delivered within 24 hours. Impressive.

I recently received this printer to test and I have to say that I'm very impressed with it. Earlier in the year, I bought an Epson printer

A Good printer, I have probably saved its value in replacement cartridges already.
