Canon has released two new professional photo printers: the 10-color (photo black, matte black, gray, cyan, magenta, yellow, photo cyan, photo magenta, red and green) Pixma Pro9500 Mark II and the eight-color Pro9000 Mark II Photo Printers.

The Pro9500 Mark II printer uses Lucia pigment-based inks for long-lasting, professional-quality prints and outputs in three levels to create true black-and-white photographs. The 7,680-nozzle head prints pictures one and a half times faster than previous Pixma printers.

The Pixma Pro9000 Mark II printer uses Pixma dye-based inks and offers all the same colors as the Pro9500, except for matte black and gray. The Pro9000 has a 6,144-nozzle head and is ideal for color prints of up to 13 x 19 inches on a variety of fine-art papers and glossy media.

The Pro9500 has an estimated price of $849; the Pro9000 is $499.
