The Canon Pixma Pro9500 Photo Printer has been designed and developed to accommodate pro photographers and imaging professionals who need the highest possible quality output together with significant print longevity.
The printer uses ten individual ink tanks of Canon's long lasting, Lucia brand pigment based inks. It applies that ink with renowned Canon Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering (FINE) technology using a 7,680 nozzle print head to create photographs and other works of art that are rich in detail, texture and tone.
The Canon Lucia inks include a matte black ink that provides high density true black renditions on fine art papers, while the Photo Black ink provides high contrast. The gray ink reduces graininess and lines and stabilizes the gray balance in the print. It also reduces the photo phenomenon known as metamerism. These neutral tone inks, combined with the other included colors (cyan, magenta, yellow, photo cyan, photo magenta, red and green), are precisely placed by the Pixma Pro9500 Photo Printer in droplets as small as three-picoliters to produce images with superb image quality and color accuracy. To further increase productivity, efficiency, and value, all 10 individual ink tanks reside in the print head at all times, saving time (and ink) by eliminating the need to swap out tanks before printing.
The PIXMA Pro9500 Photo Printer is bundled with Canon Easy-PhotoPrint Pro software - a plug-in software program for Adobe Photoshop applications, and Canon Digital Photo Pro (DPP), which permits one-click image transfer; offers simple settings for color management and allows users to configure printer settings once for images on multiple sheets.
Among its myriad other features, the Easy-PhotoPrint Pro software facilitates the printing of RAW images (as a high quality TIFF or JPEG) without having to save from the Canon DPP software. The Easy-PhotoPrint Pro software also creates pattern prints that demonstrate different color balance, brightness, and contrast from the original image and prints them on a sheet of paper for easy comparison. Users can even configure the color settings for different types of papers and adjustment values can be saved for later use.
