FINE Print Head Technology
Canon’s high-precision FINE (Full-photolithography
Inkjet Nozzle Engineering) print heads each have
thousands of nozzles designed to release micro-
scopic ink droplets as small as 2-picoliter in a sin-
gle pass, resulting in fast, high-resolution printing.
Capable of plotting thousands of ink droplets each
second, the high-density nozzle pitch produces
sharper detail and less grain. Canon’s print heads
are engineered using a photo-lithographic process
that produces incredibly high-precision output
and equally incredible prints.
Consistent Ink Ejection System
To enable smooth prints, all of the ink below the
cartridge’s heater is
expelled by the
generated bubble,
eliminating the need
to break the ink
away. The ejection
volume is therefore
not affected by dif-
ferences in ink
temperature, so ink droplets of a prescribed
volume are ejected consistently.
The ChromaLife100
System
The PIXMA Pro9000 is outfitted with a 8-color
dye-based ink system. With the addition of red
and green inks, red saturation is increased by
approximately 60% and green saturation is
increased by
approximately
30%. The PIXMA
Pro9000 uses
ChromaLife100
ink for improved image longevity. Photos have a
100-year print life when kept in albums, and
when these inks are combined with Canon’s
genuine photo media, prints will withstand 30-
year light fastness and 10-year gas fastness.
This advantage is achieved without compromis-
ing print quality or speed.
Advanced Paper Handling
The PIXMA Pro9000 features two paper paths: a
standard top loader and a manual front loader
for increased versatility and convenience. The
front loader can accept thick, fine art media,
creating a straight paper path that prevents the
media from bending while printing.
Improved Camera to Printer Connectivity
When shooting with selected EOS digital SLRs and
printing with the PIXMA Pro9000, photographers
can take advantage of improved advanced camera
direct capabilities. Photographers can use print
effects to finely tune images and can arrange
images in a variety of useful layouts—all on their
cameras. Ultimately, this level of connectivity
enables photographers to print directly from
their cameras with the exact color tones and
saturation they specify.
Easy-PhotoPrint Pro
Software
Canon’s Easy-PhotoPrint Pro
(EPP Pro) software plug-in
augments post-production
software. EPP Pro has new
layout options such as pattern prints, contact
prints and prints with shooting information. It
also allows for color adjustments, including ICC
Profile, Linear Tone, Photo Color, monotone print-
ing and grayscale printing, and with advanced
color management, all settings can be saved.
PictBridge
Shoot digital, print direct.
It’s a fast and easy way to print pictures on the
spot without a computer. Just connect any
PictBridge-compatible printer to a digital cam-
era and print.
1. Connect – Connect your EOS digital camera
directly to a PictBridge-compatible photo printer.
2. Select – Choose the image, print size and style
from the camera’s LCD menu screen.
3. Print – Press the print function from the menu
and you’ll have photo lab-quality prints in minutes.

Unsurpassed Output Media Selection
The imagePROGRAF iPF5000 and iPF9000 sup-
port a wide range of paper and specialty output
media, such as resin coated photo paper, can-
vas and fine art paper. 4-way media feeding,
including a roll feed, enable the printers to
handle media thicknesses from 0.08 to 1.5 mil-
limeters. Besides media available from other
manufacturers, Canon offers more than 35
different types of compatible paper, with addi-
tional paper and media types in the works.
Moreover, the supplied Media Configuration
Tool enables the user to update the driver,
using a periodically published database, to
accommodate new Canon media as they
become available.
Automated Black Ink Cartridge
Switching
The new ink
set includes
black and
matte black
cartridges to
allow printing
on photo
paper and
matte paper
respectively
without switching cartridges or wasting of
ink every time. Other printers require the user
to perform an incon-venient and wasteful
manual operation to flush unused ink and
switch cartridges. However, with the Canon
imagePROGRAF iPF5000 and iPF9000, both
black ink cartridges are loaded at all times,
so switching over is performed efficiently
with a simple push of a button.
Automatic Head Clog Detection
Canon’s sophisticated nozzle clog detection
system automatically senses non-firing nozzles
and executes a print head cleaning cycle as
required. Should a clogged nozzle fail to recover
after cleaning, the system auto-matically
compensates by substituting other function-
ing nozzles. This minimizes print-head-related
output failures, reduces paper waste and
improves print head durability, saving photog-
raphers both time and money.
Advanced Connectivity
Both the imagePROGRAF
iPF5000 and iPF9000 come
equipped with USB 2.0 Hi-Speed and Ethernet
interfaces. An IEEE 1394 Firewire interface is also
an available option. The printers also feature
excellent multi-platform support, enabling
seamless integration with a wide variety of
hardware and workflow configurations.
