Canon Pixma PRO9500MkII Inkjet Photo Printer (3298B002)

Canon Pixma PRO9500MkII Inkjet Photo Printer (3298B002) Review



I was convinced to switch to Nikon digital SLRs back in 2001 when the new commercial line of Fuji Frontier printers finally showed that perfect graduated skin tones is now possible.

Fast forward several generations of cameras later, I got myself a small Canon Pixma iP4300 dye printer for instant print gratification. I was blown away at what a cheap 0 printer could do and I stopped going to the commercial wet/digital labs.

Having improved my photography skills, specifically on landscapes, I decided it was time to move up to a larger printer fit for prints that I can proudly hang on someones wall. I debated long and hard between the dye-base 9000 and the pigment-based 9500 because of my concern about losing punchier colors in exchange for better B+W prints, which at that point I wasn't doing enough of.

In the end, that option for B+W tipped me over and after calibrating and printing on various Canon media such as super gloss, Platinum Pro II, satin, Premium Matte, and Photo Rag - I can only say that this printer makes nothing but gorgeous prints! The colors of my images from pre-visualization to my DSLR LCD to the desktop LCD and finally to print is spot on! I mean really spot on - tender pink of flowers to Oriental complexion to sunset hues to B+W seascapes all come to life as 13x17 prints.

I now have a stash of media and frames ready to go anytime and the delight and amazement I see on people's faces when they see their prints is priceless!
