Automated Black Ink Cartridge
Switching
The ink set includes both black and matte black
cartridges to allow printing on glossy photo
paper and matte paper respectively without
switching cartridges and needlessly wasting ink.
Other printers require the user to perform an
inconvenient and wasteful manual operation to
flush unused ink and switch cartridges. However,
with the Canon imagePROGRAF Printers, both black
ink cartridges are loaded and live at all times,
so switching between media types is performed
efficiently with a simple push of a button.
Vast Output Media Selection
The imagePROGRAF Printers support a wide range
of paper and specialty output media, such as resin
coated photo paper, canvas and fine art paper.
4-way media feeding (iPF5100 only), including a
roll feed, enables the printer to handle media
thicknesses from 0.08 to 0.8 millimeters. Besides
media available from other manufacturers, Canon
offers more than 35 different types of compatible
paper, with additional paper and media types
in the works. Moreover, the supplied Media
Configuration Tool enables the user to easily
update paper configurations in the driver, using a
periodically published database, to accommo-
date new Canon media as they become available.
* iPF6200, iPF6100 and iPF5100 handles: 0.08 to 1.5
millimeters
Automatic Head Clog Detection
Canon’s sophisticated nozzle clog detection
system automatically senses non-firing nozzles
and executes a print head cleaning cycle as
required. Should a clogged nozzle fail to recover
after cleaning, the system automatically compen-
sates by substituting other functioning nozzles.
This minimizes print-head-related output fail-
ures, reduces paper waste and improves print
head reliability, saving photographers both
time and money.
Advanced
Connectivity
The imagePROGRAF
printers are equipped with
USB 2.0 Hi-Speed and Ethernet interfaces. An
IEEE 1394 Firewire interface is also an available
option. The printers also feature excellent multi-
platform support, helping to enable seamless
integration with a wide variety of hardware and
workflow configurations.

PHOTO PRINTERS
PIXMA Printer Technology
Canon’s PIXMA photo printers
bring life to images taken with
EOS digital SLR cameras. With
the introduction of the PIXMA
Pro9500 Mark II and Pro9000 Mark II, Canon
has entered the realm of fine art printing while
remaining true to the Canon quality and speed
photographers everywhere know and trust.
FINE Print Head
Technology
Canon’s high-
precision FINE (Full-
photo-lithography
Inkjet Nozzle
Engineering) print
heads each have thousands of
nozzles designed to release micro-
scopic ink droplets as small as
2-picoliters (PIXMA Pro9000 Mark II only) in a single
pass, resulting in fast, high-resolution printing.
Capable of plotting thousands of ink droplets each
second, the high-density nozzle pitch produces
sharper detail and less grain. Canon’s print heads
are engineered using a photo-lithographic pro-
cess that produces incredibly high-precision out-
put and equally incredible prints.
10-Color Pigment Ink
System
The PIXMA Pro9500 Mark II’s 10-color pigment
ink set produces professional quality, archival
prints. The Gray, Black and Matte Black ink
produce monochrome photographs of superb
quality on fine art and glossy 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. Since the Pro9500 Mark II’s
ink is less sensitive to light and environmental
factors, prints have incredibly smooth grada-
tions and are archival.
Consistent Ink Ejection System
To enable smooth prints, all of the ink below the
cartridge’s heater is expelled by the generated
bubble, eliminating the need to break the ink away.
The ejection volume is therefore not affected by
differences in ink temperature, so ink droplets of
a prescribed volume are ejected consistently.
The ChromaLife100
System
The PIXMA Pro9000 Mark II is outfitted with an
8-color dye-based ink system. With the addition
of Red and Green inks, red saturation is increased
by approximately 60% and green saturation is
increased by
approximately
30%. The PIXMA
Pro9000 Mark II
uses ChromaLife100
ink for improved image longevity. Photos have a
100-year print life when kept in albums, and
when these inks are combined with Canon’s
genuine photo media, prints will withstand 30-
year light fastness and 10-year gas fastness*.
This advantage is achieved without compromising
print quality or speed.
Advanced Paper Handling
The PIXMA Pro9500 Mark II/Pro9000 Mark II
feature two paper paths: a standard top loader
and a manual front loader for increased versatility
and convenience. The front loader can accept
thick, fine art media, creating a straight paper
path that prevents the media from bending
while printing.
Improved Camera to Printer Connectivity
When shooting with selected EOS digital SLR
cameras and printing with the PIXMA Pro9500
Mark II/Pro9000 Mark II, photographers can
take advantage of improved advanced camera
direct print capabilities. Photographers can use
print effects to finely tune images and can
arrange images in a variety of useful layouts—all
on their cameras. Ultimately, this level of
connectivity enables photographers to print
directly from their cameras with the exact color
tones and saturation they specify, without
connecting to a computer.
Easy-PhotoPrint Pro Software

(EPP Pro) software plug-in for

provide an intuitive photo
printing experience. EPP Pro
has layout options such as pattern prints, con-
tact prints and prints with shooting information.
It also allows for color adjustments, including
ICC Profile, Linear Tone, Photo Color, monotone
printing and grayscale printing, and all settings
can be saved. The PIXMA Pro9500 Mark II and
Pro9000 Mark II printers incorporate the
Ambient Light Correction functionality that helps
to ensure the quality of a print image when
viewed in different lighting conditions.
PictBridge
Shoot digital, print direct. It’s a fast and easy
way to print pictures on the spot without a com-
puter. Just connect any PictBridge-compatible
printer to a digital camera and print.
1. Connect –
Connect your EOS digital camera
directly to a PictBridge-compatible photo printer.
2. Select –
Choose the image, print size and
style from the camera’s LCD menu screen.
3. Print –
Press the print function from the
menu and you’ll have photo lab-quality prints
in minutes.
