The prints using Canon Paper and ink are just incredible for the price. I Service Canon Color Laser printers and the prints you get on this i9900 inkjet are great for the price. The speed is also very good for inkjet printer. I have had the printer for 2 months now. I use only Canon ink, I have tried different paper, the prints still look good however they all have different clarity to them. Using a Matt finish paper it does us more ink. Over all for the price, you get a great print up 13x19 borderless, with good speed.

When I bought this printer, I knew it was going to beat my out of date Photosmart 7660 from HP, but I didn't know it was going to give me an entire photolab in my office!!! This printer freakin ROCKS!!! The color it produces beats anything I've seen, even coming from a pro lab. I'm still trying to figure out how the photos come out looking like they're laminated or something, because they come out very glossy over the entire photo!! If your in the market for a professional quality printer, this beast is for you!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!

When I first bought this printer, I was amazed with the quality of the prints. I am an amateur photographer on the side, and was using this printer for my little business. My customers were thrilled, and so was I!

Then, 3 months later, the quality of the prints started to deteriorate, and I could see horizontal bands in every picture. Canon had me drive an hour and a half to a repair shop, which I did. A full month later, still no word on what was going on. Turns out, they never figured out what was causing the problem. So Canon sent me a refurbished printer. Well, 3 months later again, same problem.

Doesn't matter how much I clean the heads, etc., the bands are still there!

Now, I'd just like to send the dang thing back and get a refund!!

I have lost so many jobs and customers because of this printer. I wish I'd never bought it.

I recently bought the Canon I9900 after much research and I could not be happier...this printer is much more than I expected from any photo printer...I almost don't like to use it for simple posters and anything but the best photos it is to good for that and I am thinking of getting a cheaper printer for my business for the less complex things...if you just want something to print some family photos or use for garage sale flyers do not get this printer...while the software that comes with is does makes good photos look great a great photos better I am pretty sure that it comes with most canon photo printers...so unless you are looking for studio quality 13" x 19" prints I repeat do not spend the money on this printer it is too good for the average photo...you will see every flaw and if the resolution of the photo is low, every pixel... But, if you want the best quality wide format color photo printer in the less than $1000.00 price range, than this is the printer for you...it is well worth the money for the serious photographer and graphic designer...and like I said much more that I expected

I have had my i9900 for approximately six months now. I am still amazed at the quality of prints that come out of it. I shoot photos with a Canon EOS-1d Mk II. So it's a given that it helps to have a camera that can utilize the capability of the printer. People that I show the prints to cannot tell the difference between an actual photo lab and the i9900's prints. One word of advice, the best paper to use with this is Canon's Photo Paper Pro. I have tried other brands and Canon's Photo Paper Plus. None of them quite have the punch that the Pro Paper does. When you have a high magapixel camera, Pro paper, and the i9900, it is next to impossible to produce a bad photo. Oh, one more thing. I only use my i9900 for photos. I have a seperate printer for documents and such. By only printing borderless 8.5 x 11 photos on Pro Paper, I can average 50 photos per each pair of photo cyan ink tanks in the i9900. You don't use the other colors as much during photo printing. Those two ink tanks cost about $12 each. So you can get 50 beautiful full page photos for $24-$25. Not bad at all.
