Fast, Spectacular, Affordable Desktop Photo Printing A professional-quality printer capable of gallery-grade output up to 13 x 19 inches on a wide variety of media, the affordable Canon PIXMA Pro series printers have no peer when it comes to image quality, speed and value. 10-color pigment ink System (Pro9500) Featuring the same LUCIA pigment ink found in the imagePROGRAF series printers, the PIXMA Pro9500's 10-pigment ink set produces professional-quality, archival prints. The Gray, Photo Black and Matte Black ink produce monochrome photographs of unrivaled quality on fine art and glossy photo paper. Gray ink reduces grain, banding and metamerism and virtually eliminates color shifts. Unlike black ink that increases contrast, matte black ink increases black density on fine art paper while maintaining detail in shadows. With 10 individual ink tanks, users can replace a single color, reducing waste and saving money. The Pro9500's ink is less sensitive to light and environmental factors. Therefore, prints have incredibly smoother gradations and are of archival quality. ChromaLife100 Ink System (Pro9000) The PIXMA Pro9000 features Canon's highly refined dye-based ChromaLife100 ink system. This advanced 8-color system reproduces a much wider color gamut than conventional inkjet printers, delivering a color range that rivals positive film.
