I've been using this for a few months, making a lot of 13x19 prints to be framed in our new home. Such beautiful details are obvious in your prints. As always, set up is easy and Canon is great at updating software. It prints 4x6 very quickly. It was great coming from the MP970 to this, as they use the same ink. I won't buy anything but Canon printers. Dry time is quick. I also have been using Platinum Pro Paper and Photo Paper Pro II only (I won't use anything else and it's worth it).

Canon's Pro9000MKII is absolutely terrific! The best printer I have ever used. After years of experience in darkroom printing, this is the first printer I have found that truly gives you darkroom quality, if not better than darkroom! I was in 35mm photography for years (printing with a Phillips Tricolor) before finally switching over to digital. I finally made the switch about 5 years ago and although my photography looked great on the computer, until now I had never found a printer that I was really happy with. The Pro9000MKII gives the most realistic color reproduction that I have seen, as well as wonderful B&W production. It is easy to use although a little slow on the warm-up and and the noise level level is a little too much, but once it is ready to print, I defy anyone to able to tell the difference between the 9000's prints and those printed in darkroom from a film camera. Unbelievable quality and true color reproduction.

I'm sure there is probably something out there that may make a better print, but if there is I sure can't afford it! For the money, this is THE ONE!

This printer, is fast and very quiet. It allows the size flexibility of being able to print up to 13x19, which is a great asset. However, and I am not sure if it is because I bought this printer used, but the paper feed is very annoying. It has a tendency of loading multiple sheets at once, printing crooked and paper jams are a constant occurrence. This can be avoided with this printer, if you feed the paper individually by hand. Also the ink goes REALLY fast, however the quality of prints are high.

I bought the Pro 9000 Mark II after my Epson 2200 decided not to work well with Vista. I had been having difficulty with the 2200 for months and decided that it had to move over for a newer, easier to use, and sharper wide printer. This Canon is wonderful! Its speed isn't its strong suit, but the print quality is magnificent. And, with very little adjusting the print colors match my screen. It is a little pricey, but for a printer that prints 13" wide, I expected to pay more. In fact when I bought the Epson 6 years ago, I paid almost $700 for it. As usual these days, technology is cheaper for more. I am looking forward to printing the wedding photos that I shot this weekend.

I have only had the Pro9000 Mk II for a month and have only printed a few 8.5 X 11 photos on it. They were of high quality, great color, excellent resolution and very satisfactory. I have yet to print large (11 X 14 or 13 X 19) size pictures which is one of the reasons I bought this particular printer. The set up was very easy, the machine works just as advertised and is quiet. The only downside thus far-and it is not a significant issue-is that print speed is quite slow. This is true even for a black and white text document.
