Re: pro9000/2 paper
Based on my experience of using the Pixma 9000 pro for a couple of years.
For Glossy, use the Canon Premium Pro or Platinum, for everything else use Permajet - but get their bespoke profiles - easily done and free

Warehouse Express is about the best for Permajet paper.
PM me if you want more details on the profiling system from Permajet

Re: pro9000/2 paper
Hi
I have a pro9000 and experiemented with a few papers.
I find the canon products absolutly fine, but wanted to use PermaJet Oyster having heard such good reports.
I send off for the profile and installed, but I'm still having major problems with the output. Skys are too blue and browns have a green cast.
I emailed the tech desk over the weekend and now await a response.
I'm sure I read on another forum you can tweak these profiles but can't sus it ....... any ideas?
Regards Chris

Re: pro9000/2 paper
I use Fotospeed paper on my 9000 mk1. They do a free profiling service and are happy to spend time with you on the phone if you are having difficulty. the papers are excellent and they have a large range depending what final finish you are looking for. Results are excellent, cannot reccomend them hightly enough.Craig

Re: pro9000/2 paper
Hi,
I have a Pixma 4500 and use Permajet Gloss & Oyster 271, but have just tested Tesco's Finest Gloss and I was impressed with it.
I am thinking of getting the 9000 II, but what paper sizes does it list? I've found the 4500 limited in this respect, as I want to print 9x6, 12x8, and 15x10plus others and have to resort to my old Epson all-in-one as it has a huge range of paper sizes. I don't want a another Epson and the 9000 II takes the same inks as the 4500, but if it only prints on the limited range of the 4500, plus A3 of course, then I'll have to rethink things.

My current 9500 and before that my 9000 printed any size I wanted up to A3+.
Because I set the size parameters of the image in Photoshop

Re: pro9000/2 paper
My next question is this.
Are you a big monochrome worker? If so, then you will need the 9500, as the 9000 just doesn't cut it on mono.
If you are not then, the 900 will be fine, and is excellent
