PIXMA Pro9500 and Pro9000 for professional photographers. A new series of A3+ professional-quality inkjet printers, PIXMA Pro offers users a choice: the Pro9500, using a 10-colour ink system featuring new formulation “LUCIA” pigment ink, meets the most exacting commercial photographic requirements and delivers high quality, durable colour and monochrome output; the Pro9000 employs 8-colour dye inks and is suitable for general printing, especially high quality gloss photographs. PIXMA Pro printers leverage core Canon technologies – including FINE (Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering) print heads – and benefit from the company’s experience in both consumer and professional print and capture markets. As a professional-quality range, new PIXMA Pro complements Canon’s EOS series of D-SLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) cameras

    Dani I upgraded to the Canon iP4200 from a Hp printer
    Very nice printer does 2 sided printing and borderless printing up to 81/2 x 11
    9600 x 4200 dpi res. USB 2.0
    And the ink tanks are great they light up when installed correctly and blink when empty...actually they blink way before they go empty.
    This printer was a cheapie $100 at Staples.
    I love this printer...but I still want the i9900 for the really big stuff :D
    Oh I forgot it looks just like the pictued above
