The Pixma 9000 Mark Ii creates vivid and finely detailed prints. These are Lab ability prints and plentifulness of professionals are using this printer to sell and display their photographs. Of procedure print ability depends on the former ability and resolution of the image. Frankly, this printer is meant for those who are shooting with one of Canon's Digital Slr's; whatever less would honestly be a waste. If you fall into this kind then you'll be thrilled with the prints that the Pixma 9000 Mark Ii can reproduce, especially when you see your first 13" x 19" print; which is the largest size the Pixma 9000 will accommodate.

.The Pixma 9000 has a maximum printing resolution of 4800 x 2400 dpi, which is honestly more than you'll ever need. Canon's Fine (Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering) printing head fires 2pl ink droplets creating highly detailed prints.

Canon uses an 8-tank dye-based ink system and provides numerous high ability papers. They also have their own fine art papers like Museum Etching, Photo Rag and spellbinding White.

I personally prefer Photoshop because I all the time heighten and edit my images before I print them; but you can print directly from your camera straight through PictBridge and you can also print directly from Raw files without having to do any conversions.

Features of the Pixma 9000 Mark Ii

Canon engineered the Pixma 9000 for ease of use and low maintenance. Switching out ink tanks is as easy as it gets and, in my experience, I've never had problems with paper getting jammed in the feeder or getting even slighty creased. There are two feeding trays: one on the back for regular papers and a feed on the front for the heavier and thicker art stocks.

The biggest correction though is the increased printing speed of the Pixma 9000 Mark Ii which is three times faster than its predecessor. How fast depends on former image resolution, how large your printing, and the ppi your printing at.

The Pixma 9000 Mark Ii is quite large, but that's to be unbelievable with a printer that can churn out 13" x 19" prints. This bad boy is just over 2 feet wide, about 8 inches high, and about 13 inches deep so you need some space to accommodate the size and allow for the back feeding tray to be fully extended. Even if you have to buy another little table or desk for it it's well worth it.

If you've ever wanted to print large lab ability prints without the hassle, waiting and cost of going straight through a pro lab then the Pixma 9000 Mark Ii is more than up to the job.
