November 7, 2006: Canon’s long-awaited PIXMA Pro9000 professional A3+ photo printer is now available from Canon resellers nationally at an RRP of $1099.
The first photo printer in the Pro series, the PIXMA Pro9000 has been designed to complement Canon’s EOS cameras and features a FINE high-performance, high-density 6,144-nozzle print head that deposits 2-picolitre ink droplets with high precision and consistency. The print head can lay down approximately 11 million droplets per square inch, producing detailed prints with impressive quality and speed at a top resolution of 4800 x 2400 dpi. The eight-colour individually-replaceable ink cartridge system includes red and green inks to provide a wide colour space that rivals the gamut of colour film and vivid colour reproduction. The ChromaLife100 dye inks are currently being tested for lightfastness by Wilhelm Imaging Research.
The PIXMA Pro9000 can print an A3+ photo in approximately 83 seconds and supports printing onto Fine Art paper and a wide range of print media from the front feeder. It is also PictBridge compatible for direct digital camera printing and offers CD/DVD printing. Users have full control of colour adjustments and raw images can be printed directly. A new Linear Tone print mode is provided for photographers who edit their own images. This mode places priority on reproducing user-defined data, allowing photographers to recover shadow detail that would otherwise be lost, while maintaining a normal tonal gradation.
Bundled with the PIXMA Pro9000 is Canon’s Easy-PhotoPrint Pro plug-in software for Adobe Photoshop CS/CS2 and Digital Photo Professional v2.1 or later. For stockist information phone Canon on1800 021 167 or visit the website at www.canon.com.au for product details.
