Images are impressive
on July 10, 2015
Posted by: SteveO
from Cedar Rapids, IA
As a pro photographer, having a print look like the image I see on my calibrated monitor is essential and that is what I experience with the PIXMA Pro9000 Mark II.
That's it in a nutshell. I would not want more from a printer. I might have to wait a few minutes for the first print of the day as the printer goes through its own start up cycle, but it doesn't really matter when you can get prints this good.

As a Canon User sine 1970 with Cameras and Printers the quality of the PRO 9000 is right up with want I needed it provides exceptional quality and versatility that is needed for the work I do. I only wish it had the ability to use roll material which would make the printer the ultimate solution.
As always Canon Products are exceptional.
Pros: reliable, Easy Setup, durable, High Quality Output, fast print speed, easy to use
Cons: need roll paper feeder
I would recommend this to a friend!

Get to know your driver

My Canon Pro9000 was an upgrade to an I9900 a little over a year ago. I was so used to defaulting to photo paper pro that upon first use everything had a green cast. The page setup interface for Macintosh is a great driver. It is important to try out all the print settings on quality and media, and even more important to use fine quality papers. The results can be outstanding. Canon provides some good quality photo and fine art papers, but do not be afraid to try some other fine papers. Canon Pro II, Platinum and Fine Art Museum Etching (FAME) are well worth the slight additional cost for a great product.
As a photographer, almost all my prints come through Photoshop CS2, and my clients continue to be amazed at the output on studio prints as well as candids. I could not be happier. I cannot wait to learn some of the undiscovered features.
To my surprise, it prints much faster than my multi-function machine on every setting.
Pros: High Quality Output, High Productivity, Low Running Cost, Good Media Handling, durable, Easy Setup, easy to use, reliable, excellent printer driver and utility, good options for high-end print media

Output Is FABULOUS
on August 16, 2011
Posted by: Anonymous

The output from tis printer is amazing. If you are doing high quality photo prints, that is all that matters. At the largest size, 13X19, my prints are pure and crisp and glowing. The smaller sizes are just as good.
The ink usage is also amazing. I have not yet figured out the order of the colors and how they slowly run out, but I am impressed. This seems to be the next generation of printers, since the ink is long lasting.
It also seems to be fairly fast, but that is not a high priority for me.
On the downside, this machine is not intuitive - nor does it arrive with useful instructions. It is "clunky" when starting a print job. It took me way too long to figure out where the rear tray opens and I still can't get the front tray to work.
Finally, for reasons I don't understand - see above concerning instructions - when printing in large format the first print is always off size. Once it gets used to my preferences, the prints are truly amazing.
If you want high quality prints of awesome clarity and definition, get this one. If you want to do post cards for Grandma, there are others.
Pros: High Productivity, High Quality Output, Low Running Cost
Cons: Difficult to use, Difficult Setup, Poor Media Handling

Living with the Pro 9000 Mark II
on October 16, 2009
Posted by: notlaw99
from Raymond, New Hampshire
I am a retired military officer and an armature photographer. I take a lot of event, landscape and nature photography. I have been using Canon Pro 9000 Mark II for about four months, dominant application printing borderless color photos on 4 Star and 5 Star Photo Papers, 8.5 x 11 size and occasional photos on 4 x 6 paper, some correspondence and making CD / DVD labels for the slide shows I make. I dominantly use the top feed option. I Use the my computer which is a desk top with a 24 inch digital monitor and the computer on top of the computer with two external DVD Burners and the Pro 9000 Mark II on a computer desk that is 51 inches wide and 24 inches deep and the desk is about 2 inches from a walls on two sides in the corner of a small room in a mobile home. When not using the printer I keep all the cover closed [Three cats that shead].
People have complain about the large foot print of the printer. I need to be able to clean behind it, have cable access, and retrieve objects dropped behind it. I went to hardware vendor and bought some 10 inch metal ball barring races for uses to make Lazy Susan's [under $10.00 each] that are about 5/16 of an inch thick and I put one under the printer and the desk top computer. They are large enough to not interfere with the operation of the printer both I can rote it 90 degrees or more if I need to get behind it for cable access or clean behind it with not moving it from the desk top.
Previous reviewers complained about the 4x6 default. I used the printer set up options to define the configuration I desire. I mostly print photos 11 x 8.5 high quality so that is full out [no borders] and I change the set up for anything else. My computer is running Vista 64 Home Edition and I also use word processing and spread sheets. On Business documents the Canon Pro 9000 Mark II will default to a Business document configuration that I defined. If Printing photos From a Windows Photo Application the printer will default to my defined Photo configuration.
So I really don't have to make a lot of changes unless I am changing paper size and I can control that from the printer menu with ease.

Operating cost, I consider reasonable you tend to use some colors tanks for photography more than others I previously used to use a 13 x 19 printer with two tri color tanks for photo printing, when one color goes dry you have to replace the tank. The Canon Pro 9000 II is a lot more economical to operate when it come to ink.
My previous printer had a bad problem with double feeding photo paper and label paper. The gravity feed mechanism on the Canon Pro 900 Mark II is significantly more reliable; I have a lot less spoilage of photo paper and CD/DVD labels. The Pro 9000 Mark II ink change is easier then my former printer, it flashes fast when an ink color is empty and slower when a color is getting low telling you the exact color to replace. I find the Canon Pro 9000 Mark II to be the far superior printer from the stand point of ink utilization and spoilage due to paper miss feeds. The Canon is superior in operating cost ease of user maintenance and cleaning and superior support software from Canon. And of course the excellent quality color photos it prints. I hope you have enjoyed this review.
