Armed with five ink cartridges and FINE print heads, the Canon MG5470 can produce photo prints that last for not just up to a year, or ten years, or even a hundred years, but up to three hundred years.

The multifunction printer, which is available only in black color, has a 2400-dpi color scanner as well that can scan at the speed of approximately fourteen seconds per A4 page at 300 dot per inch.

Features and Highlights

Multi-Card Reader and PictBridge

The Canon MG5470 multifunction printer has a multi-card reader that can read a wide range of memory cards. Users can insert a memory card to the reader and then use the 3-inch LCD screen to view, select, and print photos.

Additionally, the printer can also scan to the connected memory card as well. This operation, as well as printing directly from a memory card, doesn’t require a PC as a middleman.

PictBridge-enabled digital cameras are supported too, which means the printer can directly print from a connected camera. And what’s more, the connection between a camera and the printer can be established via Wi-Fi, so there is no need to use any cable for printing.

5-Color Ink System

In terms of ink cartridges, the Canon MG5470 printer is a bit different from many other consumer-oriented units because its ink reservoir houses five ink cartridges instead of just four, which results in higher quality prints.

Simply by adding another ink cartridge to the ink system, print quality can be improved. However, the improvement comes with a higher ink cost.

The only plus side in regard to the ink cost is that the printer does away with tri-color cartridges, which are the type of cartridges that put users at the risk of spending even more money to buy ink.

Auto Duplex

Ink is not the only consumable item that the Canon MG5470 requires to print pages. Every print job requires a stack of paper. The more you print, the more paper you will need. And the more paper you use, the more hassle it is to organize it.

The only way to save your time, energy, and money on paper is to use the printer’s automatic duplex printing capability. It can also output double-sided copies as well.

Connectivity

Wired connectivity is not as convenient as wireless connectivity, but sometimes you might need it more for some reason. No matter which one you need, the Canon MG5470 provides both connectivity options, so you can switch from one to another easily as you see fit.

Canon MG5470 Driver Free Download

The printer needs to be recognized by the computer to establish a connection, and the computer needs to be able to send print commands to the printer. This mutual relationship is impossible without a driver that can properly connect the two devices.

A driver software is like a translator that makes sure that the connected devices understand each other. Therefore, its installation is mandatory. You can click the link below to download Canon MG5470 Driver for Windows:
