Saw this printer at Ipex 2010, thought it was awesome. Ordered and got one via Amazon. Produces excellent prints, black and White images are fantastic. Printing is slow but as a profesional photographer I know slow is best. Comes with photo printing bundle that is excellent and works consistantly with Photoshop . I would recomend this printer for anyone who is serious about their photography and want studio proof prints. Canon's new dye inks give awesome results. If you want a reliable printer buy this one.

I chose the Canon 9500 (mark 1) after directly comparing it with the HP9180 and Epson 2880 using a test file. nb the annual Focus on Imaging at NEC is well worth the entrance fees to do this sort of comparison.
The differences were small and your preference could easily be different to mine.
However, the quality of prints I got when I started using it at home were superb - so only minor complaints (eg rather noisy clunks when it starts grabbing the paper and expensive ink).
What is worth commenting on is that for complicated reasons it was turned off about a year ago and left unused. I asked the Canon tech at FOI this Spring what should I expect when I restarted it (!) as I was concerned that the pigments would have settled out and blocked everything requiring a major set of cartridge and nozzle replacements.
In practice I just ran a nozzle clean and everything is back up just as good as before.
So, I recommend it as a professional piece of kit.

Bought this to print my own Photo Art Prints for gallery exhibitions, photography competition entries and for resale. Being a professional designer and Mac user I've never been too impressed with Epson printers, either consumer or professional grade, and always found them to be thirsty on ink and easily cloggupable.
This, however, ticks all the boxes. However I quickly discovered it fell foul of 'Epson snobbery' that seems to have infiltrated most camera clubs nowadays, in so much that people assume because it's not an Epson it's not up to the job.
Which of course is a load of nonsense. This printer outputs amazing black and whites and colour prints in equal measure, and the quality of my prints have been outstanding (being a print-based graphic designer and photographer my demands are very high).
I've had my printer around 6 months, and on first use got around 30 A3 prints and about 20 A4s (mixture of black and white and full colour) before I had to swap a cartridge. So far I've only replaced 2 cartridges, but expect that to increase when I start using my printer more frequently again in the autumn.
On the downside the manual is dreadful - The lack of a PDF version was very annoying, as I was hoping to load that onto my iPad for easy reference. Thankfully I found one on the internet after a bit of searching so all is well. Another downside is the inks are pretty much impossible to get hold of on the high street (shops sell most Canon inks but not the Lucia Inks for the 9500 - I can't even buy them in my local Jessops store or PC World/Staples! VERY ANNOYING). But you can pick them up for around £[] each here on Amazon - not ideal for last-minute deadlines, but better than nothing.
There's not a great range of papers available from Canon, but Hahnemuhle supply the top-end canon paper, so if you want quality Gallery/Museum paper for your prints then look no further. However I've had excellent results using Epson paper available on the high street.
The printer is solidly built and very quiet in use (I use mine in my home studio, but being quite large keep it in the bedroom connected to my laptop - I have an 18month old daughter and this printer is quiet enough to use even when she's sleeping in her cot). It's easy to operate, and it works well with Mac OSX Leopard and photoshop CS3. The printing options are a bit limited (border, no border etc) so if you want to print something out a specific custom size its limiting, but then this is designed to print professional photos at A4 or A3 size, so if you're after a more adaptable printer for everyday/office use then you're better off looking elsewhere.
I'd recommend this printer to anyone serious about photography, professionals and amateurs alike.
