PrinterInfo have reviewed the pigment based Canon PIXMA Pro 9500 A3+ professional printer.
“The Pro9500 scored very well, achieving a dmax of 2.36, the third highest dmax value we’ve seen so far. This value was achieved using Canon’s Photo Paper Plus, semi-gloss surface. The Pro9500 scored higher in this category than the Epson Stylus Photo R2400, which only achieved a dmax value of 2.26. The Pro9500’s dye-ink equivalent by Canon, the Pro9000, scored just below the Epson, at 2.25.”

ePhotoZine have reviewed the Kodak Easyshare G600 printer dock.
“The added benefit of the lamination process helping protect from fingerprints and splashes is excellent. The printer is simple to use and small for carrying around, but is not very light. Paper costs from £29.99 for 100 sheets which is a fraction cheaper than other dye sublimation packs but not as cheap as waiting to go to a processing outlet.”

Steves Digicams have reviewed the pigment based Canon PIXMA Pro 9500 A3+ professional printer.
“The bottom line - the Pro9500 is an excellent choice for the pro or semi-pro user that needs to print large color photos up to 13 x 19-inches on a wide variety of media including fine art papers. And you can also make archival quality monochrome prints. I have always been impressed by the quality and speed of Canon’s wide carriage printers having owned and used the i9100 and i9900 - the Pro9500 takes their best features and adds the ability to print on even thicker media.”

PrinterSpot have just reviewed the A3 Canon PIXMA Pro9000 printer.
“If it’s large format photo prints you’re after, then you must look at the Canon Pixma Pro9000—the results are stunning. Capable of producing a 13 x 19 inch print (on a variety of media) in about 3.5 minutes, the Pro9000 is a heck of a printer, if you have room on your desk (and your wallet) for it. It’s probably not a great choice for those of you doing a lot of text or mixed documents, as the quality isn’t as good, nor are the first speeds as fast, as some cheaper printers.”

PrinterInfo have reviewed the entry-level Canon iP1800 printer, which delivers a 10x15cm (4”x6”) borderless photograph in 70 seconds.
“If consumers are on a tight enough budget that anything over $50 is undoable, then the Pixma iP1800 is a pretty good option. It provides decent Canon image quality, but it won’t win any prizes for quality or speed. The supporting drivers and software, which is the same as for most other Canon inkjets, makes it a more useful tool than it would be with a stripped down version, especially for users without any editing software of their own. Ink cartridges are comparably priced to the competition.”

PrinterInfo have taken a look at the compact Canon SELPHY ES1 photo printer.
“However, where the ES1 falters, like its Selphy cousins, is in print quality. It just doesn’t measure up to other dye sub printers like the Sony FP90 and especially not inkjet printers like the Epson Snap. Color accuracy, color gamut, and dmax all scored very low, while monochrome prints suffered form a poor tonal range.”

PrinterInfo have reviewed the Panasonic KX-PX20, an easy-to-use, dye-sub home photo printers with print life of up to 100 years and a 3.6 inch colour LCD screen.
“For the money, users can do much better with other compact photo printers, dye sub or inkjet. The expensive cost per print and poor image quality alone makes this a poor buy next to models such as the Sony FP90 and The Epson PictureMate Flash. But the lack of wireless compatibility, single memory card slot, and lack of optional battery go well beyond this to make the PX20 simply not worth the cost, unless the consumer is wed to Panasonic products.”

PCMag have reviewed the new HP B9180, an 8 colour, A3+ inkjet printer that uses Vivera pigment inks for waterproof photos which resist fading for more than 200 years.
“Talk about most categories of printers and you have to talk about HP models. Talk about high-quality photo printers for the serious amateur photographer or professional on a budget, however, and HP has been largely absent from the discussion. If the HP Photosmart Pro B9180 Photo Printer ($699.99 direct) accomplishes nothing else, it should change that.”

ePhotoZine have reviewed the new Epson 3800 A2 printer with UltraChrome K3 ink and the smallest footprint on the market.
“The print quality is very good as would be expected from a printer of this class and it also has a high build quality. The prints are well balanced and have a nice saturation of colour. Lightfastness is 75 years for colour prints and over 100 years for black and white as long as the images are not subjected to sunlight.”
