This is the second Canon A3 colour printer I've owned. I had the i9950's predecessor the S9000.
The key advantage that this model has over the S9000 is the addition of two extra ink cartridges (red and green) to make eight in total.
I've got to say that I'm delighted with the results the colours are very vibrant and there is a definite lift in the red end of the spectrum.
It's very quick in operation with an A3 print coming through in 90-120 seconds (depending on paper and settings). The free Easyphoto Printer software which is bundled with the product makes is simple and intuitive to use.
If you want to try before you buy the Canon UK website lets you send them a JPEG file over the web and they'll send you back a free sample 6" x 4" print, produced from any of their chosen printers. How cool is that?
I've stuck with the Canon inks which are available and are reasonably priced at the 7dayshop.com.
I've found that Epson papers seem to work just as well as the more expensive Canon ones.
If you've not yet blown your best snap up to A3 size on a printer like this then I guarantee you a very pleasant surprise.

Extra ink cartridges sounds good. I've never heard of a green one before. Esther x.
