Canon Pixma Pro 9000 Mark II Printer Review

Expert review of the Canon Pixma Pro 9000 Mark II printer

Our Verdict:

With dye-based inks, the Canon Pixma Pro 9000 Mark II ensures highly vibrant colours applicable to different types of media. It is fast and excellent for photo printing, but Canon may need to improve on paper handling and make it smaller for a desktop.

Design

This big printer is designed for high resolution printing of photographs at resolutions of up to 4800x2400 dpi. It is integrated with the 8-colour individual ink cartridge system with ChromaLife100 technology, so output is fade-proof for at least 100 years. The Canon Pixma Pro 9000 Mark II has more flexible paper feeding, which is possible in both the rear and front part of the printer. The Pixma Pro 9000 Mark II printer can be connected to the PC via high-speed USB 2.0 cable, which is not included in the package.

Advantages

PictBridge lets users print directly from a compatible digital camera or camcorder, and there are features such as borderless printing, ambient light correction, and auto photo fix on the Canon Pixma Pro 9000 Mark II. The printer's output tray capacity is quite generous at 150 sheets, and overall operation is fairly quiet in best quality mode, at only 42.5 dBA. The Canon Pixma Pro 9000 Mark II prints colour and monochrome documents and photographs well, while the 8 individual ink cartridges mean less waste.

Disadvantages

The Canon Pixma Pro 9000 Mark II is a larger and bulkier machine than its predecessors, weighing approximately 14.7kg and measuring 26 inches wide and 13.9 inches deep. It also demands more headroom, measuring 7.6 inches tall. The paper handling feature is badly designed, causing paper to curl or get crumpled when not configured properly by the user. The absence of media card slots and networking options could render the Canon Pixma Pro 9000 Mark II inefficient as a photo printer.
