I stumped up the extra cash and now have a fully working Canon 9000 with PrintFab Pro!! And even though it's taken some time and a bit too much money, I finally have top quality (cmyk) printouts. So it was worth it in the end. I should also say thanks for your original blog post. It was reading it that led me to the PrintFab solution. Cheers! Noel Thanks for the reply Ian.

We're getting on really well with the PrintFab. The quality is really very remarkable and for evenly-exposed prints the results are better than cheap minlabs. For 'normal' proofing of colour work the quality is excellent and the ink management really does seem to be effective (we're still on the first cartridges on regular use). We haven't done any CMYK so I can't comment sorry. Overall I agree with your view: printer build and output quality are excellent, but life's too short to mess around with products that lack a decent driver. I'll google carefully before buying the replacement! Hi Noel – thanks for your comment. We’re getting on really well with the PrintFab.

The reason i'm asking is that i've just realised that it won't allow me to print CMYK! I thought the license limitations were just based on paper size. Like you say, it's an 'interesting' license approach. But it seems that I need to pay even more just for the ability to print CMYK. Anyway, i just wondered if you had encountered the same problem? I too have a Canon Pixma 9000 and it seems to be costing me a small fortune. If only i'd realised Canon didn't bother making a decent printer driver for the Mac I wouldn't have bothered buying the thing (despite the print quality!).
