I bought this printer two years ago. Never set it up...left it in my detached garage...120 degrees in the summer, low teens during the winter. I opened the box yesterday...cleaned out several nests built by mice. Set it up in my office, installed all the necessary software....I am amazed..it works perfectly.

I’ve had my PIXMA Pro 100 for five years now. I use my printer to print astrophotographs. Regardless of the image or size of print, the consistency of the colours is the most important factor. I print mostly using the borderless A3+ format and other than the prodigious use of ink the printer has been stable and consistent. Eventually I’ll need to replace this printer and I’ll pretty much be looking at a similar device.

Hey, I loved your passion for this printer. I'm an artist trying to get into the sticker printing business. I see a lot of kind words for this printer. However, I use a LOT of color. Most of my art is entirely psychedelic and I try to add in as many colors as I can. Would the ink of this printer last me a while if I did a lot of prints that are 9x12"? Also, this printer is super pricey but I hear the head can be hard to fix if damaged. Do you have any tips on how to make it last as long as you did without the hiccups of the ink possibly getting clogged?

@CraigBergonzoni

4 жыл бұрын

The printer itself should last a while and get the job done. It's difficult to completely avoid clogs, especially if you have it a long time. But there are a few things you can do to give yourself the best chance at having a good experience with it. One is to print often, it sounds like this won't be a problem for you. The other thing I would say is to stick with the Canon OEM inks. I feel like a lot of problems people have are introduced with they start using cheap 3rd party inks. Also, check out a printing cost estimate page that Red River put together for this printer - www.redrivercatalog.com/rr/cost-of-inkjet-printing-canon-pro-100.html This will give you some more info on operational costs. If you haven't already, check out Jose Rodriguez's KZread channel. He's done a ton of printing videos and a lot on this printer. Also, Canon is releasing a new printer in September. It's not a replacement for this specific model but it looks like it falls in line with like a Pixma Pro-10. It's more expensive than this but check it out, it may be a better investment and better fit. I'm not sure but it's something to consider. Thank you for watching and commenting!

@CraigBergonzoni

2 жыл бұрын

Hey Thomas, I don’t own the Pro-100 anymore but I’ll give you my best tips for B&Ws from memory. The bottom line is that sometimes I used the “B&W Photo Mode” with some papers. Other papers I needed to still use the ICC profile for the paper. As a rule of thumb, with Canon papers I was able to use the B&W mode all the time. And sometimes I was able to use it as well with other brand but sometimes the ICC profile was better. Even with Canon papers I would get a color cast on occasion. In order to counter act this I would print a Pattern Print, in B&W mode. On that Pattern Print pick the sample image that looks most “neutral” and copy those X: & Y: settings into Print Studio Pro. I would need to do a Pattern print every 6 months or so to double check that my adjustments are still the same. So experiment a little, try the Pattern print. Try the ICC profiles if you’re using a third party paper and compare it to the B&W mode. It takes some trouble shooting but its worth it. Let me know how it goes. Thanks for watching and commenting!

My Pro 100 prints up to 13x19" because that's as wide a paper that it can handle. Red River makes 13" wide paper that's longer.

My workflow has changed over the years. Lately, in order to combat having tints on my B&Ws, i utilize the Pattern Print function in Canon's Print Studio Pro printer app. You can print a test pattern for Tone and one for Brightness/Contrast. I print the one for Tone and find the sample image that looks best (most neutral) on that test pattern. Under each sample there is numbers for Tone adjustments that are being used for that sample. For me X -15 & Y 15 are the numbers that work. So I input those numbers back into the Tone adjustment in the Color settings tab in Print Studio Pro. (this is done while in "Black and White Photo" mode on the Color Management section of Print Studio Pro) You can print B&Ws in standard Pro mode or with ICC profiles but I find using the BW Photo mode, making Print Patterns to find out what i need to adjust for, then making those adjustments in the Tone setting help give me consistent neutral prints. I don't know if that makes sense. lol Let me know if you have more questions. You can always email me if you need more help. I might make a video on this one day too.

The Pixma Pro-200 seems like an awesome model and I'm sure will be on sale at some point - amzn.to/3y7PY46 Keep an eye out for those sales. Thank you for watching and commenting! Let me know if you find a 100 and I'll let you know if I find any resources for reliable used ones.

Hi! Can this printer be used for t shirt transfer? Thanks

I’ve never done this but I’m pretty sure it can. But that being said I would consider something with pigment inks for this purpose. Take a look at something like the Canon Pixma MG2522 amzn.to/3kR8vfo It’s more affordable and should work great for t-shirt transfers.

since you got yours used, can you tell me how long it takes for the wifi to connect? mine is taking for ever (already 1.5 hrs. already), and going. At this point, I am already regreting buying it.

Oh that sucks. It's been years since I initially setup the Wi-Fi but I don't remember it taking that long on the initial setup. And now it's constantly connected with little issue.

@@CraigBergonzoni Hey Craig, Thank you for taking the time to comment. After battling with it, a few more minutes, I decided to quit on the wifi setup. I went to a canon support site, followed the steps indicated and nothing. So, it is now running with the usb cable. I printed a couple of pics, on mate paper, and they look nice. Thank you again.

Well I'm happy to hear you're at least able to print. That's really weird about the WiFi problems. I wonder if it's some weird incompatibility with the printer and your wireless router. Either way, I'm happy you're printing and I hope it all works out for you.

Do the black n whites print cool or warm?

Sometimes they have a cool tone. When this happens I print a Pattern test print from Print Studio Pro to see what adjustments I can make to counteract that and neutralize the B&W.

Would you recommend this printer over an Epson or HP?

To be honest, I can't say for sure. I've only tried Canon Photo printers. I hear great things about EPSON photo printers though so I'm sure those are worth checking out.

It’s actually older than that I think, unfortunately. I have to imagine an update will be coming at some point. The question is when. This is still a solid printer though. Thank you for watching and commenting!

Awesome! That's exciting. Let me know if you have any questions and I will do my best to answer them. I also suggest you check out this channel by Jose Rodriguez - kzread.info He probably has the best channel about photo printers on KZread. He's made a ton of great videos on the Pro-100. I can't wait to see what you print with it, btw. Best of luck! :)

Do you print through Lightroom?

@CraigBergonzoni

Жыл бұрын

Hey, I don't. Right now I'm using Capture One but I did use Lightroom for editing at some point. But whether I'm using Capture One, Lightroom or Photoshop I print from the printer software. For Canon it's Print Studio Pro (which on the Pro-100 it operates as plugin for those apps) but for newer Canon models it can run as a stand alone app. I own an EPSON printer now and I use their software, EPSON Print Layout.

nice, i found one on fb market. for 150.00. I'm going to see if she still have it.

Unfortunately, the Pro 100 is no longer being produced. Has been replaced with the Pro-200, which is $600 and no rebates from Canon on it yet. Mine ended up sitting idle for several months and despite numerous cleaning attempts on the print head, it has been declared deceased. RIP - was a good printer

What paper?

@CraigBergonzoni

4 жыл бұрын

The paper I have used the most has been Canon's Pro Luster ( amzn.to/2zAasKh ), which I will always keep around as a go to paper. I've been experimenting a bit more lately though. I recently purchased a box of ILFORD GALERIE PRESTIGE SMOOTH PEARL - kzread.info/dash/bejne/hYFh19aElbi4cbA.html That paper is pretty impressive. I'll probably buy some 8x10 of that as well. Next I'm going to work through a Hahnemühle sample pack. I might make a video about some of that as well. The other brands I've tried and had good luck with are Red River and Canson. I like Luster or Pearl finishes personally. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Why is it so hard to find this printer? They are all priced drastically different from 500 - 800+

@CraigBergonzoni

3 жыл бұрын

I think Canon is in the process of releasing new printers like the imagePROGRAF PRO-300 amzn.to/32CRMFD I definitely wouldn’t pay $800 for the Pro-100. You might as well get the new Pro-300 at that point. I have a feeling a Pro-100 successor will be announced eventually. How long that will be from now, who knows.

Just snagged one for $75 ✊
