Canon announced two new printers for professional and advanced photographers, the Canon Pixma PRO9500 Mark II and Pixma PRO9000 Mark II.
The ten-color Canon Pixma PRO9500 Mark II printer features the Canon Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering (FINE) technology and a 7,680 nozzle print-head structure. It uses Canon’s double-encoder system to produce high-quality portfolio pieces or gallery-quality prints.
The eight-color Canon Pixma PRO9000 Mark II printer features Canon FINE print head technology and a 6,144-nozzle print head capable of producing nearly invisible ink droplets of two-picoliters. It delivers an even glossiness and vivid color experience rivaling that of positive film for photographers.
The Pixma PRO9500 Mark II and Pixma PRO9000 Mark II will be available in May for $849.99 and $499.99, respectively.

what’s the main differences between the 9500 and 9000
I require a printer for panoramas up to 14 inches wide by 36 inches long. The 9500 Mark II is very attractive exept for this unresolved question. Can it handle it?
wat is the care & maintanence for the 9500
Folks,
The 9000 uses dye inks and the 9500 uses pigment inks. Dye inks produce slightly better glossy prints but a shorter archival life…pigment inks are primarily for fine art work (usually on luster or matt paper (ect.) and longer archival periods.
Both printers produce up to 13 x 19 inch prints without roll paper capabilities.
Pigment inks in the 9500 (and the extra cartridges) produce significantly better B&W prints
Care and maintance for boh printers is mostly automatically done by the printers with the occasional need for manual cleaning.
Make sure you have enough workspace for both units inasmuch as when printing reqiore a very large footprint.
I have a 9500 mk ii and find it produces outstanding prints–the B&W prints will blow your mind–B&W prints are as good as you can get from inkjet rivaling Epson’s R2880 and 3880.
