The Canon PIXMA Pro9000 Mark II is a step down from the Pro9500 Mark II; however, it is still capable of solid performance and 13″ x 19″ size prints. Check availability on Amazon.com.
More details from Canon’s press release below.
The eight-color PIXMA Pro9000 Mark II Photo Printer – cyan, magenta, yellow, photo cyan, photo magenta, photo black, red, and green – delivers an even glossiness and vivid color experience rivaling that of positive film for photographers. The Pro9000 Mark II’s impressive quality and speed are the result of the Canon FINE print head technology coupled with the Company’s high-performance, high-density 6,144-nozzle print head which is capable of producing nearly invisible ink droplets of two-picoliters. Thanks in part to an enhanced double encoder system for media control, the PIXMA Pro9000 Mark II achieves three times faster print speeds over its predecessor, producing a bordered 13″ x 19″ size black and white photographic print in approximately 1 minute, 23 seconds2.
The Canon PIXMA Pro9000 Mark II Photo Printer is scheduled to be available in May for an estimated selling price of $499.993.
Canon announced the PIXMA Pro9500 Mark II at PMA 2009. The Pro9500 Mark II delivers pro-quality prints at sizes up to 13″ x 19″. Check availability at Amazon.com.
More details from Canon’s press release below.
The new PIXMA Pro9500 Mark II Photo Printer features ten pigment-based ink colors – photo black, matte black and gray as well as cyan, magenta, yellow, photo cyan, photo magenta, red and green, allowing users the benefit of a wide color gamut for stunning color prints, as well as three levels of black for true black-and-white photographs. Designed for the pro and “pro-sumer” photographers, the PIXMA Pro9500 Mark II provides outstanding resolution and droplet control utilizing Canon’s double-encoder system to produce high-quality portfolio pieces or gallery-quality prints for the marketplace. The Pro9500 Mark II delivers rich detail, texture and tone plus extraordinary color reproduction in the green, red, yellow and orange color ranges resulting in breathtaking photo-art. Employing the Canon Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering (FINE) technology along with a sophisticated 7,680 nozzle print-head structure, the Mark II model provides significantly faster production times, delivering approximately one-and-a-half times faster color print speeds on a 13″ x 19″ bordered print1,2 than the previous model.
The printer’s matte black, photo black and gray inks reduce metamerism and provide high-density blacks and truly neutral monochrome prints. Metamerism is an effect in some printed “black-and-white” images where composite gray inks (achieved with combinations of cyan, magenta and yellow ink) make image areas appear a different color hue under different lighting conditions (such as sunlight, fluorescent light and incandescent light). This aberration is due to the differences in spectral reflectance properties of each of the composite colors.
The Canon PIXMA Pro9500 Mark II Photo Printer is scheduled to be available in May for an estimated selling price of $849.993.
The Canon SELPHY CP780 is a new compact printer that tries to carry on the stylish nature of the SELPHY line. Obviously, it is a consumer grade printer that can be had for a retail price of $99.95. Check availability on Amazon.com

The Dell Wasabi PZ310 is a mobile printer that is almost pocket-sized. It prints borderless 2×3 inch prints in under a minute. It is Bluetooth and PictBridge compatible. Canon 5D Mark II users may finally have a use for the print button (yes, it’s a joke).
While the Wasabi PZ310 is a novel idea, don’t count on it to be anything more than a “fun” toy. And frankly, if you own a DSLR, it’s probably not going to be all that fun. It’s clearly geared toward the MySpace-crazed teen crowd; not that there’s anything wrong with that. It’s just a little too gimicky for those of use who take photography seriously. It comes at an introductory price of $99.
