Any one had any experience with this latest 17" printer from Canon?
I use all 3 brands of FA printers and can say the they latest Canon's
are great. Great build quality, speed, durability, gamut, cost and
flexibility between the driver and printing plug-ins. I find the B&W
bronzing and overall B&W quality to be better than Epson's and HPs
and have the side-by-side prints to illustrate the differences. Like
any inkjet printer there are behaviors and quirks that you must learn
and get used to. One of which is learning what media setting to use
for 3rd party papers. Here is my recommended media guide:
Cotton Rag Papers (sheet and rolls) = Premium Matte Paper
Other Matte Papers (sheet and rolls) = Premium Matte Paper
Fiber Base Papers (sheets) = Photo Paper Plus Semi-Gloss
Fiber Base Papers (rolls) = Special 5 (profiles interchangeable?)
RC Photo Papers (sheets) = Photo Paper Plus Semi-Gloss
RC Photo Papers (rolls) = Special 5
If using the same paper with two different media selections (for roll
and sheet), two different profiles will unfortunately be required.
Since the on-printer display doesn't show paper sizes in inches, you
might find this short list useful to keep next to the printer:
8.5x11 = ANSI Letter
11x17 = ANSI B
13x19 = ANSI B Super
17x22 = ANSI C
If you need them, I have the latest firmware, driver and plug-in
installers on my FTP site:

1 step Monaco Profiler profiles are best and as easy to make as with
any Epson. I recommend using the Photoshop plug-in with it's 16bit
printing path if possible using Bill Atkinson's 16-bit targets for
profiling. Profiles are interchangeable between the driver and plug-
in and between 8 and 16 bit printing modes. I have high volume
clients with a bunch of 9800's 8000's and 9000's all lined up they
they beat pretty hard and they prefer the Canon's over the Epson's.
It seems Canon's latest printers are the best kept secret that aren't
heavily marketed like Epson's and HP's. I'm just an end user and not
affiliated with Canon in any way. Have fun.
