Yes, it is the same printer with a wider carriageThank you very much Vincent for providing this appreciated look
into your review.
Would just about everything you say about this printer apply as
well to the S9000?

Thank you a lot for showing us your review !Here is a link to my text only review of the S900. [...]
I did compare this printer to the Epson Photo printer in my more detailed review, this will be published by What Digital camera together with pictures.Thank you a lot for showing us your review !Here is a link to my text only review of the S900. [...]
I know you had not any other photo printer availiable, and this is
a pity as in this case comparison is an absolute necessity: what
would you say about a camera review were the new Canon or Nikon
camera is not compared with the model it replaces, so that you
can't know wether the image quality is the same or not ?
--Vincent OliverIt's a general rule that photographers are much more interested in
their camera(s) that they are in their printer or screen, but the
qualty of a photography (I mean resolution, color, etc.) is
completly useless when nobody can see it !
Again, thank you a lot !

This reminds me of the timing belts on engines. When the belt breaks on an interference engine, the pistons crash into the valves destroying the engine. So in effect, it is true that the belt lasts the life of the engine because when the belt breaks, the engine is effectively dead.Vincent -
print head is not sold separately, but it is expected to last for
the life of the printer."
I hope this isn't only the beginning of consumer gouging by Canon, something already perfected by Epson and HP. Being the easiest to refill of the 'big three' printer makers, perhaps they hope to make back lost revenue on ink sales by charging for head replacement or forcing the consumer to replace his entire printer because changing the head is economically unfeasible.If I'm understanding this correctly, then Canon will no longer be
selling the print head part at all from their site, the way that
they used to do with the S800 head.
Any reasons on why this is now the case, when the head could so
easily be replaced by the user?

I also thank you for your excellent review. My question would be, cost? What is the price of the S900, and how soon can we expect the machine to become available?Here is a link to my text only review of the S900.

Yes, it does seem odd that an easy to replace item is not available as a seperate item. I spoke with Canon on this issue a couple of weeks ago and they told me when the print head goes then the rest of the printer is also due for replacement.Vincent -
Your review says the following:
"The print head has to be fitted by the user into the print head
holder (a simple process), this would indicate that you can easily
replace the print head at a later date should you need to. Not so,
Canon states that if there is a problem with the head then the
printer would have to be serviced by an authorised dealer, the
print head is not sold separately, but it is expected to last for
the life of the printer."
If I'm understanding this correctly, then Canon will no longer be
selling the print head part at all from their site, the way that
they used to do with the S800 head.
Uk price for the S900 will be approx £329 (inc vat) £1 = $1.41 and should be available now.I also thank you for your excellent review. My question would be,
cost? What is the price of the S900, and how soon can we expect
the machine to become available?
Thanks,

You can go one better than that. In the print dialouge box move the slider to set the amount of overlap. Otherwise make sure that your file size is a whisker smaller than your page size.On the S900 can you compensate for the overprinting by leaving a
white border around your image thus getting 100% of your picture
printed?
