Canon PIXMA Pro 9000 Review
|
Review Summary
Reader Score: 8.50 (out of 10)
Review (Summary): "Although the Canon PIXMA Pro 9000 printer looks very different, adopting the new square look of the Pixma line, many of the best features remain from the i9900, including 8 individual ink tanks, multiple feed paths, and high speed printing. The biggest change is the use of new ChromaLife 100 inks. While still dye inks, the ChromaLife 100 are formulated to give up to 100 year archival life on Canon gloss media, and much better archival life on other media types, such as Canon's Fine Art Papers in both Photo Rag and Premium Matte finishes.
The Canon Pixma Pro 9000 is an excellent option for anyone looking at dye ink printers. With the vibrancy and saturation advantage dye has over pigment inks, and the improved archival life of prints, the Pro 9000 is a viable option for anyone needing a A3/B size printer. The one drawback is page length, with no ability to print longer than 19". Although print quality is very good on supported fine art papers, this printer truly stands out when using gloss and satin photo media."

| Review (Summary): "When most people talk about printers, they talk about them in terms of printing documents and Web pages, but with more and more high-resolution cameras around, it's becoming more common for people to print large photos at home. If you want those big prints to look nice, that means buying a medium-format printer, such as Canon's Pixma Pro9000. Though it bears the Pixma Pro moniker, the Pro9000 replaces the Canon i9900, which like this printer, is an eight-ink dye-based printer. ...
... Possibly the most impressive thing about this printer is its speed. In Standard print quality mode, I was able to make a bordered letter-size print in 1 minute, 7 seconds. Stepping up to High print quality, that time lengthened to 2 minutes, 16 seconds. The Pro9000 turned out High quality borderless letter-size prints in 2 minutes, 39 seconds. ..." |

| Review: "Earlier this year Canon announced two professional quality printers; the Pixma Pro 9000 and Pixma Pro 9500 - (the 9500 is not available yet). Both printers are aimed at the professional and serious hobbyist market, they compliment Canon's impressive range of Pro SLR cameras and indeed other manufacturers cameras too.

| Review (Summary): "This new eight-ink model ($420, street), which makes borderless prints up to 13x23 inches, replaces the six-ink PIXMA i9900 and performs better with ChromaLife100 dye inks. It sets a speed record in this category, producing colorful 13x19-inch borderless prints (on Canon's new Photo Paper Plus Semi-Gloss) in just 2 minutes, 27 seconds, and borderless 8.5x11-inch prints in a blazing 1 minute 5 seconds. ...
Bottom line: If you're looking for a super-fast printer with a wide color gamut and fine-art paper compatibility, this is a great choice." |
