The difference between the Pro9000 and Pro9500 is the type of ink used. The Pro9000 uses dye ink (prints should last up to 20 years) and the Pro 9500 uses pigment ink (prints should last up two hundred years.) Personally, I'm satisfied with my prints lasting up to 20 years. For the photographer/artist who wants to sell their work to collectors, the Pro 9000 may not be the first choice. I have yet to experiment with Canon's Fine Art paper. I bought this printer because I have a 12 MP camera and I wanted to print on larger sizes of media. I love it so far... I use it exclusively for photos/art projects. I keep a Canon S820 (with a faulty print head) for printing documents. Buy the Pro9000--excellent value for money.
What's great about it: Awesome quality; fast prints
