Customer Review: Simply the best printer for the price possible
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this printer very soon after it came out, mid December 2006. I have since printed thousands of all sizes of pictures. For one wedding, I printed about 800 4x6 pictures. The printing speed is nothing short of astonishing. There is no comparison to the competition brands in print time for a borderless 13x19 at comparable quality. At standard quality (which is really all you need, it's so incredible you can't tell the difference unless you get a magnifying glass) a 13x19 print takes a little over 3.5 minutes. It will print 4x6 pictures so fast that you have to be real careful not to let them stack up, or else the ink will bleed from not having enough dry time. ALL inkjet prints need at least 10-20 minutes to dry before stacking them, and several days before putting them in sealed plastic sleeves. Learn from my mistake, I ruined twenty 13x19 prints that way. Colors are incredibly vivid thanks to having 8 colors, you have to see it to believe it. Reds Greens Blues and Yellows, everything is as bright as can be when you use the correct printer settings.
The cost of ownership is also MUCH less than HP and many other brands. The cost per milliliter of ink is a lot less with canon. For the average 13x19 print, it costs around $3-5 in ink (less for greyscale B/W). 4x6 costs maybe 25-45 cents in ink depending on ink coverage. It's difficult to do cost analysis because each picture uses different amounts of ink.
I do all my printing in Photoshop CS2 (too poor for CS3).
A few tips for getting the best color
1)Make sure your monitor is calibrated. Get a Pantone Huey to calibrate your monitor, or if you monitor came with a program for calibrating it use that. Mine did. Most higher end Samsung monitors do.
2)When you print, use these settings under "Print with Preview in CS2":
Under print options...
Color Handling: "Let Photoshop Determine Colors"
Printer Profile: you need to choose your paper profile here, all Canon paper will be there (installing the canon drivers puts them there). All paper is different and SP1 SP2 SP3 SP4 is for Canon's Photo Paper Plus Glossy. The number refers to what you will choose for print quality; 1 being highest. SG1-3 is Photo Paper Plus Semigloss. If you are using a third party paper, pick whatever is closest. PR1-3 is Canons Professional paper.
Rendering intent: I like to use "Absolute Colormetric". This seems to yield perfect color rendition, but CS2 gives descriptions of what each of the options do, and try a few, to see what you like best.
Click on "Page Setup" then "Printer" then "Properties". This goes into the canon printer drivers. Select your media type, print quality (match them to what you picked for printer profile). Under "Color/Intensity" pick "Manual" and click "Set" then change "Color Correction" to "None". You already set up the color handling to photoshop, and doing it twice will mess things up.
That's all you need to know to get the best color out of your printer without having to pay lots of money to get custom calibration jobs on specific paper.
Also, Canon support is the best in the industry. The very first one I bought was one of the first few thousand made according to the serial number, and there was a problem with it. It was non functional so I called and they immediately sent me another one second day Air via UPS with home pickup for the old one to be sent back. I looked up the shipping costs to send a 45 lb box from OH to CA 2nd day, it's like $50 each way! That's how devoted Canon is to their customers.
If you mainly print photos you can't go wrong with this printer. It would be perfect for a new photographer who needs to make super quality 13x19 prints. This would work in an office situation, but it's a photo printer. It's quite fast for text and graphics, and the quality is amazing even on the fastest print setting, but there are office printers that are better suited for non photo printing.
The step up, the Pro9500 has two extra ink tanks (Matte Black and Grey) to make more contrasting B/W prints. It can also print directly on CD's. That's the only real difference in features for the price increase. The Pro9000 will still print superb B/W photos, but can't print on CD's like the much much more expensive model. I wish the 9000 had these features, but I don't need to print on cd's and B/W prints are amazing anyways.
