My printer arrived swiftly using the next day option and I was shocked by the size of the box - it's big people. My shock turned to wonder as my brother and I removed the printer from it's box - I have to say I was stunned by the build quality of this product. It feels as if it means business (it's even got wheels on it).
Setting up the printer was straightforward using the (excellent) support information supplied by Canon. I then matched my photo software (lightroom 2 & elements 6) to the printer using the supplied information; again this was very straightforward, and trust me man! this is a key step to producing beautiful prints.
I then sourced the media and suppplies for the printer and have had absolutely no problems in getting a hold of replacement cartridges or paper - I wouldn't advise buying them on the high street (I get mine online)!
After all that down to the printing and I was stunned (again) at the sublte tones the printer revealed when I printed an image of the Paphos coastline, it was renderered so beautifully that the image jumps of the page to transport you to the sea. lovely stuff. Quality is consistently high in all of the images and I am so glad that I purchased this printer - now you might think that I'm easily stunned :) but I can assure you that I'm a hard man to please!
so far, so good - no problems to report...
I wrote my original review about 8 months ago - it's March 2010 now. Since then I have downloaded updates from canon for various paper types and for the printer driver (I use vista). Well people, I remain stunned! so much so that I am revising my review.
When I show off my photos people are amazed that I produce such high quality prints from home, consequently they are interested in seeing more of my work and using me as a photographer.
I feared that I had missed a trick by not getting the mark 2 version; whilst I should say I haven't used the mark 2, I must say that, for me, the quality of this printer has stood the test of time.
In summary I would still recommend this canon printer.

Personally I would not buy this printer purely because the inks are very expensive and DO NOT LAST - because the tanks themselves are too small. Canon should reduce the cost of these tanks.

This is a great printer and works well. That's the upside. It really is a good printer. Don't buy this unless you're running XP or later. It might work with NT but I'm not 100% sure. It will NOT work with 98 or ME as Amazon tell you and still tell you after I've written to them five or six times over the last two and a half years telling them they're wrong! The first time I contacted them about this was after I'd bought this printer new on the strength of their description. Fired up the printer and got a message on my pc screen stating "Will not work with this operating system" Amazon were sympathetic and informed me that they got all their product info from manufacturers so I got in touch with Canon who's reaction to this was basically "Tough, go get a new pc" and me not being very happy with this contacted them again, several times in fact, each time being completely ignored. I even said in my last email to them that I was thinking of passing all the info to the office of fair trading or the advertising standards agency and their reaction? Nothing, not even a snotty "Go ahead then" reply. For a company that sets such high standards, I think their customer care is unbelieveably poor. But it's still a good printer!

I acquired this printer, and downloaded the drivers etc online (yes, Canon unlike so many other printer manufacturers have fully responded to Windows Vista and made compliant versions of every driver, ICC profile and piece of software for this product, including a new driver that enables the XPS 16-bit per channel capabilities on Vista! These are free to download). I configured my photo editing system to recognise the ICC profile of my monitor and that of the Canon PRO9500 - and the result is that the prints are exactly what I expect from what I see on the screen.
So as I say, this is a printer for making prints. What I may spend in printer ink (see other reviews) will, I think, be made up for by my ability to dispense with test prints (except perhaps for very very difficult pictures) and the absence of wasted paper and ink on prints that do not look like the screen image.
I would recommend the Canon PIXMA PRO9500 to anyone who is prepared to spend some time finding out how to configure their computer system to take advantage of it, and who does not need a dye based ink printer!

I have owned this printer for nearly a year, using it to produce upto A3+, colour and black and white prints that I sell. The bottom line? The printer delivers superb quality images that are unrivalled by many other printers.
However, as the other reviewer has said I do have a few niggles! Firstly, the printer does tend to over saturate colours, particularly the reds, so prints are slightly warmer when produced straight out of the box as it were. However, this is easily changed by playing with the intensity, contrast and colour controls. You also need to experiment with a range of papers to find what works best - canon premium matte is very good as are the Ilford papers - however, certain Epson papers can also work perfectly well. You need to make sure that papers are pigment ink compatible and have ICC profiles available. Without altering the settings prints can also be too dark and therefore lose detail on certain images.
Ink is another niggle. In that it's not widely available, and expensive - however shop around on the internet as you can find it much cheaper than its £11.99 RRP. Inks last a reasonable amount of time unless your printing lots of A3+, and it last significantly longer than when the printer prompts you to change the cartridge; I'd wait until it's flat out to change (although some users note colour shifts with low levels of ink - I can't say that I've noticed!) You need to make sure that you order inks well in advance as you can't simply nip to the shop to get a refill.
Versus the Epson R2400; many debates on this and I don't have much experience with the latter printer - however, I feel that the Canon is better built, the 2400 seems more plastic, the Canon is solid and robust (you need a lot of desk space by the way!). The software is also superior, the photoshop plug-in gives you great options for altering colours and contrast etc. However, I use it straight from Lightroom. As to print quality there's probably not much in it, however, given that this is a ten cartridge printer, the colour gamut should be greater and black and white definitely reigns on this printer.
Overall this is a great printer if you want professional looking prints
to sell, however, you do need to put in the time to research and be prepared for much trial and error, especially if you're a perfectionist!
