Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon I-9900 Photo Printer
Customer Review: i9900 after 5 years
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the i9900 from Amazon in November, 2004 - five years ago. For the last 4 and a half years, I have been using Media Street inks in the printer with a continuous ink system (CIS). Because I use non Canon inks and papers, I create my own printer profiles with a Datacolor PrintFix colorimeter). I've been through three print heads while printing a thousand 4x6's on Canon Photo Paper Plus glossy, hundreds of 8.5x11's and a couple of hundred 13x19's on Ilford Classic Pearl paper. The printer is still going strong and it is a superb dye based printer. Key parts like the print heads are still available and used in later model printers, so it is relatively easy to maintain.
In April, 2009, I purchased an Epson 3800 pigment-based printer to be able to print 17x24" images and to create images with longer longevity that can be displayed without glass. Dye based prints produced by the i9900 are more likely to fade in direct light and must be displayed under glass to achieve the longest life. Interestingly, the color gamut of the i9900 is very similar to that of my 3800. If anything, the color from the i9900 "pops" somewhat better than that from the 3800. Because of the very low cost of the continuous ink system, I'm using the i9900 a lot more than the Epson 3800, especially when working image corrections before a final print.
