I see that Radlafx raised this concern,
Careful with the Canon inkjet printers, they don't all use archival inks.
I rechecked the specifications for the Canon PIXMA Pro9000 ...
Quoting from the Canon PIXMA Pro9000 'Overview' tab ...
"The PIXMA Pro9000's ChromaLife100 system combines the benefits
of dye-based ink, Canon photo paper and FINE print head technology
to produce long-lasting, beautiful prints."
When reading the Canon PIXMA Pro9000 'Supplies & Accessories' tab ...
All of the inks listed are "CLI-8" inks.
The Canon web site has statements about the ChromaLife100 system ...
ChromaLife100 compliant ink types: CLI-8, CL-41/51/52 and BCI-16
100 years in an album
30 years lightfast
I read that to mean that the Canon PIXMA Pro9000 is capable of
producing archival quality prints.
