Canon Pixma Pro9500 Mark II
The Canon Pixma Pro9500 Mark II is a wide-format photo inkjet priter designed for working photographers, graphics pros, and serious hobbyists. It features a ten-tank pigment ink system, borderless printing up to 13×19, and Canon’s Ambient Light Correction system.
The device utilizes two trays: a multi-sheet feeder in the back, and a single-sheet feed integrated into the output tray on the front of the device. Both trays can accommodate paper up to 13×19 (A3+), allowing you to make photo and other fine-art prints on a variety of media.
It’s also worth noting that the Pro9500 can print bordered or borderless prints at sizes all the way down to 4×6. So, you could even use the Pro9500 to print home/home office documents if you wanted to – it certainly has the flexibility. But the ink and the device are expensive.
Buttons and controls on the printer itself are minimal at most as the majority of the Pro9500’s functions are handled via Canon’s supplied software So, the Pro9500’s spare, simple, and easy-to-connect approach is standard for this class of machines.
