My recommendation on the 9500. Loose the glossy paper. The glossy prints off the newer version of the 9500 are just so so. Get a small package of the Fine Art Photo Rag paper that Canon makes and try and see the diffrence. It took me almost 7 months to learn this lesson. The first one I printed off of the art paper was awesome. I thought I had found the holy grail of printing that day.


You sure don

I did the math on my printer.


I could print the big ones for a bit less than it cost at the lab here in town.


The little prints (4x6) cost cost 4x as much to print as the lab would. So its really only good if you want to do something larger. I do a lot of letter 8.5 x 11, but never any smaller.

Bob,


I have never tried mpix, but from your recommendation i might try them in the future.


I print a lot at home and am happy with the control over the prints i make.


I work with a local framer here in Minneapolis who gives me an excellent price on custom framing which allows me to cut my own matte sizes.

Loose the glossy paper

I would have to agree...


I have been using paper from a company called Red River Paper called "polar satin" which has produced some excellent results for me.


Prior to using Red River, I had beed using MOAB brand up until a year ago and the paper quality from Red River has been exceptionally better.


With Moab, I would get some sheets that had blemishes on the finish but with Red River, every piece was consistently perfect.


I have used their greeting cards, 8.5"x11", and their 13"x19" paper so far.


Thanx for the info...

I can add another vote to MPIX being excellent. My college photography club orders about 100 8x12 prints every semester for our semesterly photo exhibit. We
