I just ruined christmas!

the supervillain

Hey everyone
So, as the title says, I just ruined christmas. The doorbell rang, and I answered it. It was the mailman with a huge box. I brought it in and my wife asked who it was for. I looked and it said the name of my favorite camera shop. Then I saw that the package was ripped and saw what it was.

A brand new shiny Canon Pixma pro 9500 printer. oops, I was not supposed to see that. That was her big gift to me for christmas and the surprise was just totally ruined!

So, I get an early gift this year, I am very happy and fortunate

On that note, is there anything I need to know about this printer and setting it up so I get the best prints? I am pretty sure a monitor calibration kit is going to be needed. Any other tips??

Thanks everyone!

wonderful printer, you will need to download profiles for whatever paper you plan on using to get the best results... however when I would shoot sports or people in camera Jpeg and also just used canons software to print I was usually happy.

shooting landscapes in Raw, then processing for print was a different story... eventually I got the hang of it...

calibration is very tricky and learning how to adjust colors for print is also a learning curve.

Congrats! For somebody, Xmas simply comes early!

thanks!
aaronnelson: landscapes are what I would be printing mostly. I do shoot raw as well, what are some tips?? maybe a resourceful website or something?

I wont have it set up for awhile, the thing is huge and I need to clean off my desk
