Being using 2 canon 9000 printers and an I850 as well. Never a problem with lines. One 9000 printhead stopped printiing cyan but one quick phone call to canon got me a new print head in teo days time. High qualit aftermarket inks are limited but coming around and predefined profilng targets for the amazing PrintFix profiler from Colorvision have not appeared yet either..soon they tell me.

Best Canon features..removable print head..FAST printing...quality prints..visable ink levels in cartridges.

Worst feature...Ink usage...no worse than others but after running continuous supply system on an old epson 1160 (still going strong)..changing ink carts is a pain.

Scuse please, but don't you guys kick the tires, slam the doors, and drive the thing around the block before you buy??

Seems the camera can be very good, get rave reviews and you could still get the one bad machine coming off the assembly line.

If I'm laying out that kind of money.....I let the store take responsibility for fighting with the mfgr. Walk in with my trusty laptop and a wad of hi-amp batteries, go outside, take a dozen hi-rez pictures, download to the laptop, blow them waaaaaaay up onscreen and then take my time going over them with a fine-tooth comb for abnormalities. If there are dead pixels in the sensor,....you hand it back to the clerk, and ask for another one.

I just wanted to double check that people haven't heard any horror-stories about the Canon i9100 and that good calibration and prints are achievable with it.

I seem to remember Richard K getting some lines across prints from an S9000 but that the new model, presumably the i9100, has solved these issues.

Does nobody have any comments/experience with the Canon S9000/i9100 ?


I'd hate to buy one without the go-ahead from you guys... ;-)
