Superior Grayscale Reproduction

Fine Tonal Gradations

The PIXMA Pro9500 features a 10-color pigment ink system based on the LUCIA set developed for

Canon imagePROGRAF professional printers. In addition to traditional Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and

Photo Black inks, the PIXMA Pro9500 ink set includes Photo Cyan, Photo Magenta, Red, Green,

Matte Black, and Gray. The availability of Gray ink in addition to Black (whether Photo Black or

Matte Black) results in far superior grayscale reproduction. Black-and-white images are rendered

with smooth, natural gradations, excellent tonal detail, and reduced graininess.

Perfect for Fine Art Prints

The PIXMA Pro9500 printer supports a wide range of output media, including fine art papers. Matte Black ink produces deep blacks with matte media.

Photo Black ink is optimized for high-gloss surfaces. Photo and Matte Black inks are loaded at all times, and automatic switching between the two

eliminates wasted ink, saves time, and takes the guesswork out of choosing the right black ink for the selected paper.

The images I produce with my EOS 5D are mono-

chromatic and subtle, and that makes them a

challenge for any reproduction process. I had

been disappointed by inkjet printers and relied

almost exclusively on traditional photographic

printing. I wondered whether the promise of

the ‘digital darkroom’ would ever come true for

me. The Canon PIXMA Pro9500 was the answer

I had been waiting for. With its unique LUCIA ink

set, the Pro9500 reproduces tonal gradations I

thought I’d never see in

inkjet prints. The prints I

make with the Pro9500 are

truly ‘gallery grade’—not

only because of their image

quality but also because

they won’t fade with time.

— Robert Farber

“I depend on the PIXMA Pro9500 to reproduce

every nuance and convey the mood and

emotion of my images.”
