Key Advantages

The PIXMA IP3500 delivers outstanding print resolution reaching up to 9600 x 2400 dpi, which ensures vivid and crisp photo quality. Its use of individual ink cartridges helps minimize ink wastage and reduces the cost of ownership. The USB 2.0 interface enables fast data transmission for quicker print job processing. The printer supports borderless printing for photos up to 8.5 x 11 inches, enhancing presentation quality. Its compact and lightweight design fits well on office desks without occupying much space. Additionally, the printer is compatible with both Windows and macOS, broadening its usability across different platforms.

Limitations

Although the PIXMA IP3500 prints photos excellently, its speed is moderate compared to newer models, which may affect productivity in high-volume environments. It lacks wireless connectivity options such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, limiting flexibility in device placement and mobile printing capabilities. The paper capacity is relatively small, with the rear tray holding approximately 100 sheets, requiring frequent refills during large print runs. The printer does not support duplex (double-sided) printing natively, which could lead to higher paper consumption. Replacement cartridge availability has decreased over time as the model has been discontinued. Lastly, its driver support may be limited on the latest operating systems, requiring manual driver updates or compatibility adjustments.
