THE NEWS IN PRINT

The advent of photo printers has taken the printer industry by storm. There has been a continuous inflow of photo printers that has hit the market; one better than the other. Canon’s Pixma IP4300 has been highly recommended for amateur photographers and for homes. The professional folks can turn their eyes towards a new photo printer that’s studio quality.

Pixma Pro9000 has replaced the older professional photo printer Pixma i9900. The major difference is that the Pro9000 is a dye sublimation printer while i9900 isn’t. The main features include 8 separate ink cartridges with separate feeding channels and high speed prints. The quality is excellent and better than most photo printers. The use of Chromalife 100 inks which guarantees 100 years of archival life for photographs is a big plus.

Features
- Professional 8-colour A3+ photo printer
- ChromaLife100 for long-lasting photos
- Supports high quality photo & fine art papers
- Built-in flat paper path
- Adobe® Photoshop® CS/CS2 plug-in software
- A3+ Photo lab quality print in approx. 83 seconds

It looks as though Canon is winning the hearts of printer reviewers hands down. Whether it would translate into number of sales is a different matter. Canon Pro9000 is available in UK from £380 at different stores.
