Thanks again to you both. I'm slowly narrowing down my choices. If I can get my Canon Pro 9000 to print on dvd's that's a factor. And if the Epson 2200 is slower than my 9000 that's a big factor. I met today with the powers that be at the church (that would be the secretary) & they guarenteed me...
There are all great comments. I'm getting my questions answered & questions I hadn't thought of until now. I can see my choice is coming down to sticking to Canon so I can easily refil with the same dye inks I'm using now or turn my office into a real print shop & get an Epson with pigment inks...
I should have mentioned too that I'm not worried about quality. Any 4 tank printer out there will do good enough quality. I figured having 4 tanks to keep full instead of 8 would be easier. But then the 9000 really only seems to use 6 colors. I have 2 sets of cli-8 & bci-6 carts now. Thanks...
Yeah I didn't think about just getting another 9000 & using 2 at a time. I bought mine last summer for $160 new in the box & as the Canon rebate deal was still going at least till Dec I guess there's more out there. But you are all answering my questions. Which ever route we take I have some...
Thanks again! You've been helping me with all my injet problems. The main reason I was wanting an alternative to the 9000 is time. It is pretty slow. My little IP 3000 prints circles around it on everyday office work. But it only has an 8" carriage. I don't mind letting them spend some money if...
Hey again all.
Well my Pro 9000 Mk II has gotten me into another fine mess. I've been printing the proofs for our church newsletter on it and now they're wanting to know if we can print the entire run ourselves. These are printed on 11x17, both sides, then folded. We send out 2500 each quarter...
I haven't decided how I will bind it but I think not stiching. That sounds the hardest. I will certainly report back on how good a job a stark newbie can do with this.

Thanks! That's the kind of tips I need. Almost all the pictures are black & white so they print pretty well on plain paper but I want something nice & heavy. By the way, the first chapter will start in Co. Sligo from where my great grandfather emigrated in 1848. Thanks again.

Hey all!
I have a Canon Pro 9000 & I will be printing a 25-30 page book with text & pictures for a family reunion. I expect to print 80-100 of these. I would like to use 11X17 paper that can print both sides in the highest quality I can while keeping the cost reasonable, say $25-30 for the...
Hi Just found this thread. I was just starting up my Pro9000 mk II when it was posted. MOST illuminating. 2 questions. Will these profiles help me if I'm using OEM ink & Canon paper? And how does Canon claim 100 year life to these prints (on certain papers) if the printer only uses dye inks...
