You IP5000 sounds like a great little printer. If you are happy with the results, why not stick with it? If you want to upgrade for whatever reason, I can unequivocally recommend the B9180. It really is an amazing printer for the price. The 8 ink system will give you a broader color range than your current one, but you may be hard pressed to see the difference. The inks of the B9180 are supposed to last up to 200 years if that is important to you. And it can print on a variety of fine art media and banner sized media at that. I have the Epson R1800 at home and like it very much, but I find the B9180 to be the superior machine and without the clogging issues I experience from time to time with Epson. It is also built like a tank with a METAL output tray. Also, in addition to a USB port, it can also print via the built in ethernet port. It is also very quiet. I considered the Canons you listed and of them I would say the 9000 is probably the better choice, though I have read they both have gloss differential problems. Having used neither though I probably am not the best judge. The 9500 sounds like the Canon to get if you want to print B&W prints, though the HP Photosmart 8750 Professional Photo is supposed to be amazing in this regard as well (see the Amazon page listing). Anyway, read the very convincing review I provided a link to. So far he is right on the money.
