About The Product:
It just gets better with Canon. The PIXMA Pro9500 Mark II is pretty much like its brother the PIXMA Pro9000, but this one has a versatile 10-colour pigment inkjet system that produces outstanding, long-lasting prints. And what's great about it is that it uses the single ink system replacement, so you get the greatest deal in savings since you only have to replace each of the 10 colors as they run out. You no longer need to swap entire color cartridges simply because one color has run out!

The PIXMA Pro9500 Mark II also offers you versatility with your printing needs since it prints to a comprehensive range of both Canon and non-Canon media to gives you eye-popping image quality on your prints.  There are great onboard editing features such as Ambient Light Correction which allows you to adjust your prints according to the light conditions of the environment where your pictures are to be viewed. But the best thing about the PIXMA Pro9500 Mark II is that it offers up to 13 x 19 borderless printing with amazing color reproduction from 276 trillion possible colors on the 10-colour pigment inkjet system!

Customer Feedback-

"
I have been very satisfied with this purchase. Its footprint is not too big and it closes up tightly when not in use. It use of ink seems very reasonable and I am very pleased with the prints. I calibrate my monitor every two weeks and this printer gives me the colors see on the monitor (I have not calibrated the printer.) Most of my printing is for fine art photography and at a 11" by 14" inch size. One of the first serious prints I made was accepted in a juried show and looked great when compared to the others in the show. I am very pleased with this printer and would highly recommend it."

"First print was good . made a Photoshop change and reprinted. A fellow camera club member asked where I had it processed. I said in my computer room on my new Canon 9500 Mark II printer. He said "show me". I did and he said WOW ! Since then he came by and asked me to print one of his images. I did and he said WOW again. I printed a 13 X 19 for a friend and he has it framed and on his wall until he sends to his son as a gift."

"With the purchase of a Canon 50D, I felt I was pushing beyond the limits of my HP printer, so I bit the bullet and got the Canon. To be honest, on 3x5 and 4x6, the detail was pretty much the same, but the color rendering was much better on the Canon. On larger picture sizes, there is no competition, the Canon produces amazing quality prints. "
