Canon Pixma IP4000 versus S820

Currently I have the S820 which is working fine, but I would like to
get a printer that prints on CDRs and DVDs
The IP4000 model sold in the UK has that facility; I'm just wondering
if anyone has any thoughts on it's likely photo print quality compared
to the S820: I don't want to end up with anything worse, but I don't
really want to end up with two printers (as well as my laser!)

TIA Gelf

It prints terrific photos.
 
The ip4000 is much quieter, and yes you will notice improved photo printing.
Disc printing is a breeze, also with excellent quality.
 
I have both printers (along with an i950). The s820 is quite good, however I
prefer the iP4000 to either the s820 or i950. Much faster, more versatile
paper handling and imnsho the photo quality is better. I haven't found the
lack of the pc and pm cartridges to be a drawback. Being in the US I do wish
that we had the cd/dvd printing capabilities available to the European
market.
 
I have the UK IP4000, it was pretty expensive to get here, but I love it and
will quickly make up the cost in saved ink costs. The nice part is that it's
a multi-voltage printer, so no fancy electrics are needed in the USA.
 
op:
Thanks for your replies. It looks like I'll get an IP4000 as soon as
funds permit.
