Canon Pixma Pro9000 Professional Large Format Inkjet Printer Reviews
A Fabulous Printer
My new Pixma Pro9000 is astoundingly good. I have used Epson photo printers for about 10 years and was reasonably content with the results, although I was somewhat bothered by the slowness and never able to perfectly match monitor and print despite calibrating with a Pantone ColorVision Spyder2. Now, for the first time my print output is exactly like what I see on screen. The speed of the printer is amazing – a 4×6 on highest quality takes a bit over a minute and less than a minute on standard quality. Larger sizes also print five or six times as fast as my Epson did. The output quality on Canon Photo Paper Pro Super High Gloss is just beautiful – wonderfully deep and rich colors essentially indistinguishable from those on the monitor screen.
The previous poster complained about the included software Easy PhotoPrint, but this application is not meant for sophisticated users. Also supplied with the printer is a plug-in for Photoshop, Easy Photoprint Pro, which allows complete control over the printing process, as does, of course, Photoshop itself. I was surprised to see that the print output when I let the printer driver manage the color handling in Photoshop was equal or superior to that obtained when I used ICC profiles and let Photoshop do the color handling.
Architectural Office Use
This will be very short, however I felt compelled to write something just because of how happy I am with this printer. We have an HP also which does the job pretty good with the occational paper jam. I got this one because the reviews on the new HP 13×19 printers are scattered but the reviews for Canon seem to be solid and I would have to agree 100% for good reason. We print about 5000 sheets a month in all sizes and the Canon Pro9000 handles it effortlessly with the best color I have seen around. Our ink replacement bill is also not as high as the HP we use as well which makes for an excellent printer. I don’t have details but just wanted to voice my 2 cents in case you are on the fence as which 13×19 printer to buy.
Fantastic quality, and incredible speed
This is just a quick review, as most has already been said about this printer. I have used it for about a month now, and I am still stunned by the quality of print that comes from this machine. I have had many printers over the years, and still have a few A4 printers. I use my printers for both personal, and professional print work. This printer is very fast when printing in color. Considering the range of colors, and the accuracy it delivers time after time, I find it hard to believe that a printer at this price can spit out a full 13×19 lab quality print in about 1 min, 20 sec. It will print a similar 8×10 in about 30 sec. Wow…. The color is stunning, and better than a commercial lab, as you can tune your print to exactly produce the result you want, and deliver the finished product within minutes. It’s an entirely new level of home/studio photo printing. Pigment based printing has become the rage lately, as it has great colorfastness over time. Canon offers a pigment based printer in this class as well, but it does have a serious cost penalty. The truth is, the new dye based inks used in the 9000 are solid for over 100 years in storage, and over 30 years on display. That beats old fashioned “chrome” prints to near death. The new dyes also offer beautiful “visual impact” that many pigment printers still lack. Dark shadow areas remain clean as well, and do not suffer from “brassing” where pigment piles up, and changes the sheen of the paper surface. It’s the bargain of the century that delivers awesome images on a wide variety of paper types. The driver/sofware suite is very well done, and offers many choices. You don’t have to work around it. You simply work with it, and get a big smile every time. The downside is that if you print lots of large B&W prints, there are better choices out there. The 9000 does a splendid job of printing B&W, but it takes a LONG time to print a 13×19 image. I’m talking about 16 minutes….. Monochrome isn’t so bad in time, and delivers very nice images, but if you are looking for true B&W prints that will stun viewers, you have to be patient when printing them. That’s OK for me, as I only print fine quality B&W every now and then. The speed of full color printing on the 9000 is more important to me overall. There it is. The 9000 is a great printing tool, at an affordable price point.
