Help: Canon Pro 10 & Pro 1000 Printers
Dec 5, 2019 19:29:02 #
A few days ago I stopped in at my local brick and mortar camera store to look at purchasing a new lens for my Fujifilm camera.
While there I noticed they have a sale on Canon printers, specifically the Pro 10 and the Pro 1000. The Pro 10 is on sale for $399 with a $200 rebate, the Pro 1000 is also on sale with rebate. I have been giving the Pro 10 serious consideration but in looking at the reviews on Amazon I saw everything from “best printer/must buy” to “piece of junk/don’t buy”. Is the Pro 1000 worth the additional cost? Any input from persons who have purchased and used these printers would be greatly appreciated.

You need to print a lot to justify the pro 1000. Search for Jose Toolman and read his blog and watch his video about how much you need to print to keep the printer from getting clogs and wasting ink.
If you print or intend to print a lot. Ignore the above, I have heard they are both very good printers. I use the pro 100 and wanted to upgrade to the pro 1000 but for once was honest with myself, I don’t print enough.
And the pro 1000 makes bigger prints.

I looked at them on the BnH website. One looks like a low end printer and the other a better quality printer. So yes it is worth the extra cost.

The Pro1000 is an amazing printer with only one downside - it can't print from roll paper. For me, the 17x25 max print size is big enough. Go to youtube and search on Jose Rodriguez for videos on the Pro1000, and Canon printers in general.

Me either, but my dumb ass will probably get 1 anyway eventually. Thought about the Epson p800 for the panorama(roll paper attachment) you can do with it.
Sorry for changing the subject, Tom

I have the Pro 100. It prints up to 13x19 and panoramas to 13x26. I would consider this printer.

I can only speak for the Pro 10 which is the step below the Pro1000. The quality of the prints is outstanding. I don't print a ton anymore, so it's not unusual for it to sit for 2 months between prints. I've not experienced any clogging; however, it does like to keep its nozzles clean, using a bit of ink there. I've had it 3 years with zero issues.

I bought the Pro-1000 a week ago at my local camera store. (Kenmore Camera near Seattle.) It was cheaper than at B&H. The ink tanks are more expensive vs the 10 or 100 - but they are larger.
I'm one of those people who doesn't want to buy a lesser model - then wish I had bought the better one. I hope I will get enough use out of it to justify the purchase. I think it will help improve my photography.
Kenmore Camera uses the Pro-1000 for production work - so I felt like it would be reliable. I was outsourcing to White House Custom Colour before - and will probably do so for larger prints.
I also recommend the Jose Rodriguez videos. He is a bit of a character - but has a lot of good info.

Not to change the subject, and I'm not trying to hijack this thread. How do you print to 26" on the Pro 100?

All of Canons printers are fine printers. I have owned the Pro-9000, Pro-100, and now I have the Pro-1000. I don't print much, but enjoy the fact that it does what I want it to do and it can print on paper up to 17x25. There is a lot of different kinds of paper available to suit my needs for this size print. It employs large ink cartridges that last a long time. It is much easier to setup than the Pro-9000 and Pro-100. I liked the smaller printers too, it's just that I'd been going to the Canon Learning Center where they had events where they gave many of us free prints from the Pro-1000 and I became so impressed with the features that I decided to bite the bullet and get one. Now is the time to get one with all the sales and rebates on them. I think you can get it for about $1000 after rebates now if you find the right deal.....

I went to the Pro 1000. I have mixed emotions about which one for you to get. The 100 is a great printer and no regrets ( I decided to pick that one as at a show Canon was printing pictures for people and used the 1000. So it that was the canon choice I assumed it to be the best.) I know friend with the 100 and love them. The choice is how much are you going to print and six and detail quality.
