Great printer
Totally satisfied with this printer. It seems to use a bit less ink than my last printer from another company. And the ink cartridges are some of the cheapest around. Stunning images.

Amazing quality
I've had this printer for 8 mos. and I am surprised (in a good way) every time I use it. Both B & W, and color rendition are superb. Inks are expensive, and certain colors always run out quickly, not sure why. That aside, this printer is all that you need for pro quality prints, unless you need to print larger than 13" x 19". And to answer another reviewers complaint, yes, you can print 11" x 14" or 11" x 17", when you go through Adobe LightRoom, in their print module. EASY! Certain papers are hard to find profiles for, but you experiment, and you get the results. LOVE it!

Easiest setup ever
The Pixma pro9000mark II is the easiest setup I ever had using the software , it took only five minutes to set it up! The prints are fantastic, I tried several different canon paper types and they all work great, although the pro platinum seems about the best. I would highly recommend this printer to anyone .

Calibration is a nightmare
I'm a professional photog, and although most of my clients just want the digital files, some times I need prints.
I suppose if you use Canon paper, it probably works out of the box, but I like a particular paper made by another company and I spent a fortune trying to get the prints looking right. Each time I thought I was close, I printed a different photo and it was way off. So here's the secret:
Rent a calibrator from one of the places that rents camera lenses. One of the calibrators that is commonly available from any rental house will calibrate your monitor first, then you run it over the printed test sheets. Save the profile. Well worth the price, but you shouldn't have to go through this just to use a printer that costs this much.
With that profile you are good as long as you use that same paper every time. Switch to a new paper you will need to recalibrate. The prints are incredible, once you get it dialed in.
Also, I have to reset my print spooler every single page I print. I made a batch file to do it, but I only have to do it for the two canon printers I own. It hangs like the printer is offline until start and stop the spooler service.
