Canon Pixma Pro9500 - Pros & Cons

The printer itself is very solidly built
The finer nuances of skin tones were particularly well handled
Software installation is also straightforward
Paper Handling is more important than generally appreciated
usual excellent job of providing an extensive
printer produced very good neutral and even toned B/W prints
borderless printing works just fine
The images were sharp and crisp

looks slow compared with the Pro9000
pigment inks take longer to dry than dye-based inks
it drastically eats into print area
were comparatively disappointing
Colours took on a faded appearance and contrast was poor
lack of controls in the printer driver -
there are no card slots and no facilities for network or wireless connectivity
the graph is simply too small
No colour casts were observed in any of the monochrome prints
the paper can be difficult to feed
dry well and smudge
best colour prints are nowhere near their best on screen
museum etching paper was a bit too dark in the shadows
There is no support for roll media
if a bit burdensome for fine art papers
no jams using either the rear or front feeds
porous sheets remained a bit duller than their dye counterparts
Pigments are not slam dunk favorites
pigment printers flush the head much more frequently

A pigment-ink version of Canon's popular Pixma Pro9000 A3+ printer (reviewed in issue 31).It's taken roughly 18 months for Canon to bring the Pixma Pro9500 printer to the market, which is surprising as so much of it is identical to the Pixma Pro9000, which launched in October 2006. However, the new model uses a completely different ink set that comprises 10 pigment-based ink cartridges, while the Pro9000 has eight dye-based inks. It also costs $300 more than the dye ink model.
