The package arrived on time in excellent condition. Setup instructions were straight forward. Helpful "solutions " software included. Online help well done. Videos from Canon site helpful. Printer looks professional in my office. Takes up about 1.5 square feet more counter space than usual sized inkjets. Well constructed, heavy with assist wheels to move if necessary. Have used Matt, Semigloss, Pro platinum II papers, and heavyweight Fine Art Photo Rag, in all sizes from 4 X 6 to 19 X 13. Makes noise when approaching paper and then is quieter than the regular inkjets. I must admit, I was stunned and very, very satisfied with the print productions. I paint oils on canvas and scan the original painting in the computer with true 6400dpi resolution on an Epson V600 and then print it out. BEAUTIFUL is all I can say! With many printers in the range of $250 plus, there is no contest with the results. The photos are better than most shops can print. Make sure you are buying th 9000 Mark II and not the last model Pro 9000. Here is a review site that I highly regard for photography and printing - Imaging Resource
Good luck,

I bought this for my graphic design projects. Another student had recomended it to the class, after having a few differnt kinds of brands and said this was the best. Print quality is great, photo finish. I also like it because it takes all kinds of paper weight.

Having purchased the Pro9000 Mark II after a few years of owning the previous version, I can say with some assurance that this one is improved. Its print speed is slightly faster, and they've added some new cleaning features that I now don't know how I did without. That being said, it's basically the same printer (it even uses the same print head as the earlier model), and some of my main complaints about it were not addressed with the update.
The Pros: This is truly a professional grade printer which I have used heavily for several months. 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. If you 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.
The Cons: 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, and if you leave it sitting too long it will require several. 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 one of my previous printers, 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. 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 print infrequently, a laser printer might be a better option, as it doesn't have heads that will clog. 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.

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.

I love this printer!!
When I print, I get what I see on the monitor and/or what was in the camera.
Professional quality color prints done in my home studio.
A friend of mine (a photographer as well) has printed on this canon printer and loves the quality of the photographic prints as well .
