| Bottom line | As long as its limited paper options don't matter to you, the Canon i9900 is a very good medium-format photo printer. | A relatively fast photo printer that produces excellent photo and graphics output. | If you don't mind the shorter display life of dye-based prints or the paper choices offered by Canon, the Pixma Pro9000 makes an excellent choice for a medium-format inkjet printer. | Speed and economy make the HP Photosmart 8250 a reasonable choice for family photo printing. |
