Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon Pixma Pro9000 Professional Large Format Inkjet Printer (9995A001)
Customer Review: Simply Amazing....
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow! Best money I've spent yet on my digital hobby! I've printed out 100's of photos over the last year ranging in size from 4x6 to 11x17 borderless. Amazingly fast, even on the highest settings with economical use of it's inks. The prints are as good....and probably better than anything I've seen on traditional photo media. Even photos that I took many years ago with one of my first digital cameras (a 3mp Canon Powershot) which only produced photos in the 200-500kbits size on its average setting still look incredible on 3x5 and 4x6 Canon Photo Paper Pro. Be warned though...if you are new to digital photography/printing you will need to calibrate your monitor first to get the output you want. I have a Spyder calibration tool which works great... Anyways, you can't go wrong with this printer..sure there will always be a few duds out there (thus the occasional poor review), but it is a piece of high-tech equipment and that has to be expected. Look around, I seriously doubt you will find another printer with this many strong reviews.....Customer Review: Wonderful Prints
Summary: 5 Stars
The prints are absolutely gorgeous. I am printing borderless 13x19s on Canon Glossy Photo Paper Plus II. I hope to God the printer keeps printing well and doesn't break. The Easy Photo Print program it came with is easy to use, too.

update: I've had this printer for 2 years now and I use it a lot. It continually puts out incredible quality photos. I love it. However, the print heads need to be aligned often and tests need to be done regularly for nozzle blockage. The printer often ruins prints - especially 13x19 prints - by spewing tiny dots all over the photo, even with prevent paper abrasion enabled. I've come to expect regularly ruined prints and learned to live with it.
The cost of paper and ink is prohibitive, ridiculous, and keeps going up. Canon Glossy Photo Paper Plus II works great for me and used to be fairly affordable; but now it's horribly expensive and some sizes are getting hard to find. Canon has done a real disservice to its customers by driving up costs and limiting paper options.
Customer Review: A huge amazing printer

When they say "Large Format"...
They mean it.
From seeing the box for this printer to seeing how well it fit into my computer setup, I have loved the way that this printer ended up working with what I needed. It is indeed really large, but surprisingly less large than an Epson or other competitors within the same category.
The print quality can be outstanding as long as you know what you're doing; though even if you're using the Windows print drivers photos will turn out fine.
Ink prices can get to be a little steep, but honestly, you won't be buying that much ink unless you print 50 photos on a weekly basis. These are the longest lasting ink cartridges I've bought. The prints do not have an odd smell to them, or crinkle the paper as I have seen with other printers.
This printer is probably one of the best to ratchet up your photo printing with. Starting a photography business? Buy this printer, learn what makes prints beautiful and you'll be set.
Customer Review: No more chemical smell in my house!
Summary: 5 Stars
After years of shooting and developing film, I took the digital plunge 3 years ago. If was getting harder and cost prohibitive to support my color dark room hobby. when I started shooting digital, I sent all my work to profetional labs for processing. NOT NAY MORE.
After reading all the the reviews on this printer, I'm extremelly happy to have purchased this printer.
The whole process of color management and printing with the Canon
Easy-print plug-in and Photoshop is very well thought out and esay to implement.
The color gamut for the printer is superb! PRints have the same look and feel of chemical processed paper. And the output... Once you print and see the final product, there will be no reason to use a profetional lab any more. Instant gratification and pride in your work is why I went with this printer.
Customer Review: Great, fast large format printer
Summary: 5 Stars
This printer prints fantastic photos up to 13" * 19". It prints fast. If you do a little tweaking it prints beautifully on printable DVD's. It drinks ink, which can get expensive. I refill my cartridges and that dramatically reduces printing costs. If you print a lot and don't mind the hassle of refilling cartridges, I recommend it. If you don't want to fuss with it, just buy the OEM carts because they really do have the best ink.
It sucks for printing text, which is why I print text on another printer.
By the way, I have owned this printer for a year, so I have a pretty good working knowledge of it and this review is based on that. This is not a review based on a few days' use.
Also, this is my second Pro9000. The first one arrived DOA, but I'm still giving it 5 stars.
