My Canon 9900 printer is dead (of course right after I ordered a bunch of new ink).

Anyone using the Canon Pro 10? If so, especially interested in problems with it.

My usage is long term hobbiest, do some 13x19 prints, but mostly 8x10 for friends and family.

New great granddaughter, so she deserves the best...

No problems; it's an excellent printer.

B&H Photo is selling the Pixma Pro 100 at $359 with $250 rebate, plus sales tax, so net is $109 plus about $20 tax depending on your state. This offer is through December 31.

My only gripe with the Pro 10 is that the ink cartridges are too small. It seems I rarely do any printing without having to stop to change a cartridge. Results are great though.

I have had the PIMXA Pro 10 for 2 years and it is an awesome printer, and my first Canon printer. I previously only purchased Epson printers. My only complaint is that it is a "ink hog", but given the quality of the prints I can live with that. I do a lot of 13 x 19 prints as well and try not to use it as our general printer for documents and such. Go for it, you will not be sorry!! One caution, IMHO you should stay with OEM Canon ink. I receive free quality printing paper with every order direct from Canon, and due to the quantity provided with each ink order, I have never had to purchase any pro quality photo paper.

This is a great deal. Bought the Pixma Pro 100 last year and it was setting on my door step 3 days later. Filled out the rebate paper and Canon sent a $250 dollar pre-paid Credit card. Plus a 50 pak 13x19 photo paper. It prints a 13x19 fairly fast, Wireless and can print around 25-30 8x10 before running out of ink. Complete 8 pak of ink about $125.00 and I suggest use only Canon ink. Too many comments here on UHH about generic ink clogging up the system.
Only drawback is it's not a piece of equipment to set alongside your computer on the desk. It's large and about 50 pounds.

My $.01 worth and hope this helps. Enjoy your new printer what ever brand/model you buy.

Thanks to all. Quickly settling in on Pro 10.

As others have noted, plan to use only Canon ink. Learned the pit falls of generic ink years ago!

Thanks and will post a follow up when I get the unit and have some experience with it. Looking forward to getting back to some serious b&w printing (that was part of the reason for the Pro 10 rather than the 100)

I always glance at this forum and will start doing some posts.

Happy New Year to all,

I have purchased my Canon pro 100, pro 9000 II on Craig's list as around $90 new in the box. They are frequently part of a purchase bundle promotion and sold because buyer had no need for a large printer. Here is an example in our Phoenix area. Worth checking out in your area. Sometimes you can find a printer with new ink for less than the price of the ink!!

I have been using a canon I 850 for 15 years now. No problems except that Canon printers needs new print heads after 3000 prints.
Sometimes you can reinstall the Printer start up original installation disk to eliminate om screen notification problem and continue as a new printer,

Many manufacturers now have started to tell you in 2013 to buy all of THEIR NEW cartridges to fix the problem and add to THEIR company PROFITS by obtaining new printer carts or NEW PRINTERS to fix YOUR PROBLEM.

I have the pro 10 and pro 100, i love them, I was a little concerned when i set up the pro 10 head alignment and such carts showed no drop in ink, had to make several prints before carts showed ink usage, i do a lot of b/w on fine mat and loved the pro 10 for that, my useless opinion is the pro 10 ink carts go farther than my pro 100. check out JTool man on youtube, much info on these printers. thanks have a great day.

The Pro-10 is good. So is the Pro-100.

The biggest differences are that the -10 uses pigment inks and the -100 dye inks. The Dye inks Canon uses have been tested to have useful lives of many decades and are great with the possible exception of real archival prints for museums. The quality of the -100 prints is wonderful and my sporadic use -100 has not clogged once in 3 years.

The biggest difference is price. If you wait for one of the frequent sales, you can get a -100 with 50 pages of 19x13 paper for around $100 after MIR (right now the -100 at B&H is $110 net, the -10 is $379; prices/MIR good to 12/31)

Be aware! I have the Pixma Pro 100 and recently emailed customer support with a question. An ultimate response I received is:

Thank you for contacting Canon Support.

I am use to receiving direct support from Canon, either through an email or a phone call, and I am not a fan of community support or online knowledge based articles. Since the 100 is still being sold I don't like that this help is being withdrawn.

Check into the 10 by calling Canon to see what their support policy is.

Good luck.
