The black and dark grey case covers the same 660 x 354 mm footprint, which means you need to allow at least 40 cm behind the printer when loading heavyweight paper and another 30 cm in front when you pull out the front tray. And there are still no facilities for using roll paper. The auto sheet feeder can handle slightly heavier paper (300 gsm max.) but the front feed is unchanged with a maximum thickness of 1.2 mm. Aside from a few, very minor, cosmetic changes to the casing, the print head technology, user interface, ink set and connection ports are unchanged. The new model is almost identical to the model it replaces – and very similar in appearance and functionality to the PIXMA Pro9500 Mark II we reviewed in September (which uses pigment inks and costs $300 more). Even the RRPs have remained the same over the three-year period – which could be seen as remarkable. Interestingly, very little has changed in the three years since we reviewed the Pro9000. Although originally scheduled for release in July, it was late October before we received the PIXMA Pro9000 Mark II printer to review.
