I'm debating whether to buy a Canon Pixma TS9020 printer. This recently released printer uses the same CLI-271 dye inks (CMYK and gray) as the Pixma MG7720 printer that's been around for a while. It also uses the PGI-270 pigment black ink but that's not my concern now.

My question is whether folks who use the CLI-271 dye inks on Canon glossy photo paper have experienced their color prints acquiring an orange color cast on their prints (like in months), when the prints were left exposed to air (not under glass). I believe it is caused by an ozone environment.

Also:
... Are the Canon glossy photo papers swellable like the HP photo papers?
... Is the printhead in the TS9020 printer user removeable?

BACKGROUND INFO:
Many years ago, I had problems with color prints from an Epson printer using Epson inks but on Costco glossy paper, acquiring an orange color cast within a month or two, when left on a table in open air, not under glass. The prints did not receive direct sunlight but the room was normally lit from sunlight during the day. That problem was resolved using Kodak glossy paper.

Then I bought a HP printer that had the printheads built into the ink cartridges. Using genuine HP inks and HP glossy paper, I never experienced the orange cast problem with prints left of the same table for testing.

Thanks for any help.

Since I'm not using Canon priners I only can comment on a more general level - swellable papers are out since quite a long time and are only available as a specialty type. Typical photo papers regardless of the brand are with a microporous - instant dry coating including HP.

Aardenburg http://www.aardenburg-imaging.com/ has done extensive fading tests, as well
http://www.wilhelm-research.com/ in regards to ozone and UV , and Canon inks/papers performed quite well overall, and much better than most 3rd party/refill type inks and cartridges.
But it is correct that swellable papers provide more protection for the dyes and prints last longer, and there are differences between different types of papers.

Thanks for taking the time to post your informative info.
Hope some Canon users of the CLI-271 dye inks will post their experience with their glossy prints using that type of ink.
