ChromaLife 100: The Canon PIXMA Pro9000 Mark II Photo Printer's ChromaLife100 system combines the benefits of dye-based ink, Canon photo paper and FINE print head technology to produce long-lasting, beautiful prints.
With an 8-color dye ink system, the Pro9000 Mark II produces a wide color gamut
to achieve vivid coloration and high glossiness.
8-Color Printing:
The PIXMA Pro9000 Mark II Photo Printer features the Canon 8-color ChromaLife 100 ink system
for richer, more true-to-life color reproduction that will satisfy even the most
demanding photographer. Its addition of red and green ink tanks expands the
color spectrum to a level typically achieved only by professional printers. The
eight individual ink tanks allow you to replace
only the empty one, not all tanks at once, saving on printing costs in the
long run. Inks included with the printer include:
- Black (CLI-8BK)
- Cyan (CLI-8C)
- Magenta (CLI-8M)
- Yellow (CLI-8Y)
- Red (CLI-8R)
- Green (CLI-8G)
- Photo Cyan (CLI-8PC)
- Photo Magenta (CLI-8PM)
Resolution: Canon's Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle
Engineering (FINE) uses a high-performance print head with an amazing 6,144
nozzles, ejecting precise, consistent droplets as small as 2 picoliters. The
result is 4800 x 2400 dpi max resolution for color and black & white prints producing richer images with improved brilliancy, rivaling that of positive film.

connect this printer directly to any PictBridge compliant digital camera.
PictBridge is a new standard that allows you to connect a PictBridge-compliant
digital camera directly to a PictBridge-compliant printer and make prints,
regardless of brand.

of 4" x 6" photo paper, up to 10 sheets of 8" x 10" and 5" x 7" photo paper, or a single sheet of 13" x 19" or 10" x 12" photo paper. Large or thick single sheets can be fed from the front tray. You
can load large sheets up to 14" x 17" or thick paper such as art paper or board paper.
Note: Large sheets fed from the front tray exit through the back of the printer, so an additional 15.7" of space behind the printer must be provided when printing.
Print Speed: The printer can produce an 8" x 10" borderless color photo in approximately 47 seconds. An 11''x14" color photo can be
printed on 13" x 19" paper in approximately 1 minute and 23 seconds. The USB Hi-Speed interface enables fast data transfers
from your computer, reducing total print time.
Printing Methods: The Pro9000 Mark II offers various printing methods for your convenience:
- Borderless Printing: The
borderless printing function allows you to print data without any margin by
enlarging the data so that it extends slightly off the paper.
- Fit-To-Page Printing: This
feature automatically enlarges or reduces the printed document or photo to
fit the size of the paper being used.
- Scaled Printing: This
feature allows you to specify a scaling value and print a document or photo
with pages enlarge or reduced to match the paper size being used.
- Page Layout Printing: The
page layout printing function allows you to print more than one page image
on a single sheet of paper.
- Poster Printing: This enlarges
and splits the print image across several sheets of paper. The printed sheets
can then be assembled to make a larger poster.
- Booklet Printing: A multi-page
document is printed so that two pages of the document fit on each printed page.
The print order is set automatically. After the document is printed, you can
create a booklet by folding the pages and saddle-stitching the binding.
- Duplex Printing: The
duplex printing function allows you to print data on both sides of a sheet
of paper.

The stamp printing function allows you to print a stamp text or a bitmap
over or behind document data. The background
printing function allows you to print a light illustration behind the

custom mode you can then adjust the print quality on a scale between 1 to 5.
- Halftoning Method:
Halftones refer to color shades between the darkest color and the brightest

to express the halftones. You can select from the following Halftoning
methods.
- Dither: arranges the
dots according to fixed rules to express the halftones
- Diffusion: places the
dots randomly to express the halftones
- Auto: data is printed
with the optimal halftoning method for the selected print quality
- Monochrome: This function allows you
to adjust the grayscale so you are printing a monochrome print.
- Color Correction: The Color Correction
function specifies the color adjustment method that matches the type of
document to be printed. This method is suitable for printing sRGB data.
- Color Balance: The Color Balance
function adjusts the color tints during printing. Since this functions
adjust the output by changing the ink ratios of each color, it changes the
color hues of the entire document.

dilutes (brightens) or intensifies (darkens) the colors of the overall image
data during printing.
- Contrast: The Contrast function
changes the differences between light and dark in images during printing.

graphics that have been enlarged with your application. This feature is
especially useful when printing low-resolution images from Web pages.
- Color Properties: The Photo Optimizer

camera or scanner. This function compensates for color shift, overexposure
and underexposure.
- Photo Noise Reduction: The Photo
Noise Reduction function allows you to reduce the digital camera noise and
improve the images quality of the digital print.
Gray Scale: This printer allows you to
print full-color digital photos in grayscale. The printer uses black and gray
ink for grayscale printing together with the minimum amount of color ink
required. This prevents color inconsistency in grayscale photos. In addition,
you can print grayscale photos with a cool bluish tint or a warm reddish tint.
Ambient Light Correction: The Pro9000 Mark II, is equipped with an Ambient Light Correction feature, which uses Canon's Kyuanos technology. You can select the type of lighting under which a print will be displayed, and the colors in the final print will be automatically adjusted to ensure the displayed
result looks just the way the photographer intended. This feature is only supported by a Windows Vista PC.
Ink Level: You can confirm the ink level in each ink tank through the
ink lamps. Open the top cover of the printer to see how the ink lamps light or
flash. The ink lamp flashes slowly (at about a 3 second interval) when Ink is
low. The ink lamp flashes quickly (at about a 1 second interval) and the Alarm
lamp on the printer flashes orange four time when the Ink is out.
