General Comments

I'm a very keen amateur photographer and I've been using an Epson A3+ printer for 5 years. The prints were pretty good, but I got absolutely sick of continually having to clean the nozzles and wasting of ink. Also the Epson Status Monitoring software conflicted with a second, HP printer I had connected.I sent my best pictures away to a lab.So I bought the Canon 9000. The Canon has so far produced EXCEPTIONAL print quality, on everything from 4"x6" to A3+. It is a lot faster than the Epson and the prints are nothing short of Lab quality. Stunning. So far I've used enough ink to empty one cartridge and 2 more are imminent but I haven't cleaned the heads once. I would not even consider sending my pictures to a lab now. And at less than 7 per cartridge, you can afford to buy original inks. It's the difference between submitting a large print on expensive photo paper and hoping it comes out OK, and waiting excitedly knowing you will get a perfect print every time. I can print a letter on the Canon and an envelope on the HP Laserjet simultaneously - no driver or software conflict. It also prints on CDs, which was one of the reasons I selected it, but I haven't had reason to test that yet. Also it will take heavy duty fine art paper with a straight paper path, but again I haven't tried that. A nice touch is that you can leave it turned completely off, but if you send a print to it, it springs into life, makes the print and then turns itself off again. I read a review somewhere that it's not too hot printing on plain paper. Don't know where they got that from - it's perfect Well worth every penny of 390.
