Canon i9950 printer advice at DVinfo.net

Carl Walters · September 13th, 2004, 11:40 AM

I am looking at buying a new printer with A3 capability to be used for producing saleable prints normally in albums. A friend uses the previous version of the 9950. ANyone currently using this model and can recommend it? The reviews I have read are quite pro for it, but i prefer to listen to people who are actually using it on a daily basis. The size of images will normally be no greater than 10 x 8 but occasionally A3.

Feedback good or bad welcomed.

Thanks in anticipation.

What is the max paper size on it Carl?

A3+ 329 x 483mm.

I am using the Ilford Gallerie packs of paper and the quality is fantastic even up to the A3+ size.

I have an i9900 - ? newer version. Had it for about 3 months, really excellent printer compared to the (lower end) Epson's that I have used. Not fussy. Does great A3's.

It appears to be relatively agnostic concerning paper. I've used a mix of Canon paper and Adorama store brand - both seem to work quite well.

It appears to be nicely constructed, not flimsy at all. The printer is impressively quiet.
