Hello Richard and all, Having used Epson of various flavours since the early nineties, the S9000 was a refreshing change. Quiet, fast ( 1min for A4) and of moderate thirst for ink. Prior to purchase I had test prints sent by Epson (1290), HP and Canon. Their was simply no contest between them, the 9000 was enormously superior. A friend has recently been setting up his 2100 and has been using my Canon print as his reference. he has now equalled, but not surpassed it. The 9000 has just been replaced by the i9100 which is apparently finer still.
I print on Canon photo paper pro ( heavy wt quality gloss), Epson papers and Somerset Enhanced Velvet paper with great success. There is only one downside: Prints have to be put behind glass to preserve them. In open air, life is short; behind glass, I have one on a sunny wall showing no ill effects at a year (printer has only been out a year.. Now Richard, send me a file ( A5ish) and I'll send you the test print...<G> Nick WB. http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/multi_page.asp?cid=7-6051-6060-6063 Link to RobGalbraith item on i9100 printer > > Dear Nick > > I am curious about the Canon 9000.
