It says "per ink", so since it has 8 different inks, you would have to multiply to get your total for one print since it has to use ALL the inks? I'm a little confused.

Per = $14.99
8 = $119.9

4x6
per = 26¢
8 = $2.08

8x10
per = 87.5¢
8 = $7.00

13x19
per = $2.7
8 = $21.60


I also find the 200 8x10 you get to be extremely off. I probably couldn't even do 200 4x6

I got a Pixma pro 9000 for free when I bought a Canon product, I think the Markll. The smallest prints I make are 9x13 because with a 1/2" border all around and a 3" mat, they fit in a 16x20 frame although I never display framed prints that small. It's a good printer and works well with the hahnemuele papers I use. The problem is it drinks ink and has little tiny cartridges. So you run out of ink a lot. So I end up printing everything with my epson 4880 pro or the 7600, because they are more cost effective, even in the small sizes like the 9x13.

I'm still working on getting it figured out. I've been doing some online research. I'm not sure that I am getting the best possible prints out of it yet. I may be being to picky. Lol! There was a review on youtube about how the images are "museum quality". Just seems like the prints should look better. I'm notice a lot of pixelation in the shadows. Also haven't gotten the colors to match what I have in CS6 yet. I'm sure I'll get it figured out though. It's just operator error.

I print out of Lightroom, so I can't help in cs6. But my prints come out a little more on the magenta side than on my screen. So I just have to keep that in mind.

The only thing I've done different is I invested in the refill ink package. From the link I posted above.

Worked great, took a little figuring out at first but I finally got it up and running. Should save me a ton of money in the long run.

I got it figured out. I use LR4 and CS6. LR4 for my quick adjustments and then CS6 for any spot healing, cropping, boarders, copyright type info (actually with what I'm printing I don't use this), etc. My prints come out a little underexposed still and a little bit more saturated but, I'm happy with the image quality and I'm sure in time I'll get the color adjusted properly too.

Thank you again for answering my questions. You helped me make my final decision.:hail: I do plan on keeping a tally of how many prints that I do with the printer and will inevitably purchase the refill kit that you referenced.
