I wonder why Canon don't produce a 'professional' A4 printer i.e. one with as many inks as the A3 9000 or 9500. There must be other people like me who just don't have the room for or don't need A3 but would like the same print quality as the professional range.
I currently have an IP6700D (with six inks) bought in February last year, which was replaced by (I think) the 4000 or 4500 with fewer inks. This is my first printer bought after research told me that more inks meant better quality. The printer was a job to source because it was obsolete at the time (my thanks to Jessop's who obtained it for me from a branch some 200 miles away). I'm happy with the colour prints produced and, provided I tick the 'grayscale' box in printer properties, black and white are OK too, not 'muddy'. I print via the excellent print software called 'Qimage' on to 'Permajet' paper using genuine Canon inks.
When my IP 6700 gives up the ghost, I shall be looking for a printer with more inks than the current Canon A4 range. This may be difficult as I'm not aware of any make of A4 printer with 6 or more inks.
