 I Love This Printer!!!! October 9, 2008
I was sad to see some customers have apparently had problems with this printer. I have to say my experience has been just the opposite. I don't have one bad thing to say...It arrived three days after I ordered it ( Free Shipping Too!!!) It was easy to set up, and the first image I printed was of my son on the beach and it knocked my socks off. The second image I printed was from a Canon Raw file from a Canon XTi SLR. It was a church interior and the printer did a fantastic job rendering the wood tones. It has totally exceeded my expectations, although I can't speak to the volume of ink used as I have printed only about a dozen images.
I would also mention that although this can be used as an all purpose printer, I use it only for photography. I use an old HP for documents and my thinking is that I would rather save the inks for photos. That might have something to do with the ink usage but I'm no expert.
I DO know about photo quality however, and I whole heartedly recommend this printer. My experience has been great.
 Canon Pro 9000 is pants September 7, 2008

I bought this printer about a year ago. It has been no end of trouble. On the rare occasion it has worked it has produced acceptable prints, but often with banding and lines. Its function is appalling. It is fussy, spends minutes and minutes and minutes gyrating and whirring and doing nothing only to end with an error message. It uses vast amounts of ink which is expensive and most of the ink is consumed in the cleaning process and the whirring that it does. I really recommend that you do not buy this printer. You will spend time with service agents, tearing your hair out, screaming at the thing saying, 'why is it doing that,' when in the end it does nothing. The paper jams, and the mechanics operate inconsistently. Avoid this printer at all costs.
 Stop looking..this is the printer you need September 1, 2008

I have been through several printers within the last month and I have to say that by far this is the best printer. At first I was a little hesitant to purchase it because it was definitely an investment, but I am glad I did. The pictures come out so clear and so fast. The ink doesn't take forever to dry like other printers and it printed so clear and crisp. I usually print from photoshop and was having such a hard time getting colors to match, but this printer worked perfectly. I have used cardstock and it has printed wonderfully. I am truly impressed!
Also I ordered this from Amazon last Wednesday and received it within 1 business day.....Amazon Prime ROCKS!
An incredible printer missing a few key features August 15, 2008
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
To begin, this is truly a professional grade printer which I have used for just over a year. I produce prints of my artwork sometimes at the rate of three or four hundred 8x10's a week, and at other times it sits idle for a week or two at a time. The color quality with genuine canon inks is incredible - in my experience requiring little to no calibration with a properly set up, quality monitor. While printing, it's quick and quiet, even without its special Quiet Mode enabled, and I have actually turned down its printing speed at times, to allow for more drying time between prints. I do try to run at least a few prints a week, but even when it was left alone for nearly three weeks, there was no issue with the print head clogging. This may not be a good printer for someone who intends to use it only a few times a year, as it does use large amounts of ink in its cleaning cycles. If you, however, need to print very high quality, medium-large format pictures (whether photos or art) at reasonably high volume, this printer is definitely a good choice.
Now for the bad - what seems to be lacking more than the printer itself is the software it comes with - most irritating is its lack of support for 11x14" paper, a standard print and photo size readily available on my previous printer, an Epson Stylus Photo 1280. Its batch printing program, Easy-PhotoPrint, also limits paper type selection based on paper size - perhaps useful if printing only with Canon's paper, but in my experience it handles other brands just as well. The CD/DVD printing option available on European models would have been nice to have as well, though so far I've had no call for it. Points that others have brought up about its size are more or less accurate - it is a behemoth. Instead of sitting next to my computer, it has the top of a shelving unit all to itself, and will overwhelm most desktop space. It also requires space behind and in front for those big 13x19" prints you'll be producing.
All in all, the good points of this printer far outweigh the bad, but for a very select number of people. If you're printing only letter sized, there are other printers in Canon's line that do the job just as well. If you frequently need to print larger than 13x19" (it also has no banner printing feature), you'd be better with an actual large format printer. If you are an independent artist, artist group, or small photography studio, however, I would definitely recommend this printer.

The printer may be the best thing since sliced bread, but I would't know because to the best of my knowledge it has not yet been delivered to the shipping address specified in the order.
