Printer Perfect

Q. Two Canon printers, Pixma Pro9000 Mark II and Pro9500 Mark II, seem very similar, but one uses dye-based inks and the other uses pigment-based inks. What would the difference(s) of these be to an average photographer who just wants to get nice prints? A Canon rep noted that the pigment-based inks are often used for archival applications, but as far as I’m concerned, something that lasts “only” 20 years is more than enough for me.

A. If you’re not looking to create archival prints, then the dye-based Pixma Pro9000 Mark II should suit you fine. Not only does it cost less than the pigment-based Pro9500, but a full set of inks for the Pro9000 (an 8-ink printer) costs about $35 less than a full set for the Pro9500 (a 10-ink printer). When we tested the older versions of these back in 2008, both produced very pleasing prints, though the Pro9000 made color prints significantly faster than the Pro9500 did—another reason you might like it better..
