- Taking a PDF graphic artwork and printing an art print on a fine art paper. Using the Canon PRO-1100 to print artwork and how colour space and printing choices affect the look of the print. Printed with the free Canon PPL software. Why colour spaces and rendering intents make your prints look different. How soft proofing can help get an idea of what you will see on paper.
For more about printing with the Canon PRO-1100, see my main review, which has many videos covering specific aspects of printing.

I have really enjoyed Keiths helpful tips and advice on printers and papers as well. Thank you Keith!
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for this!
Thanks
Directed straight at me. I draw digitally and print a fair number of them. I assume the process is similar for cheaper printers as well. Thank you!
Yes - I just used the PRO-1100 because it's here and A2 prints look better ;-)
Hello Mr. Cooper, thanks a lot for this channel! I wish we had more people like you who prefer thinking and analysis over plain big words.
I wonder if you might give me an advice. I do some graphic design as a hobby (info posters, maps, brochures, all in the style of 60s-80s printed design). I want a printer for making proofs/previews.
Printers are completely new thing for me, I'm afraid of big ones (P-900, PRO-1100, ...), and don't think I really have space for them at the moment.
Probably A3/A3+ with pigment ink will do the job. If I mainly do retro graphics, do I need more than 4 colours (CMYK)?
I also hope it'll be possible to join several A3 pages together into A0 to be completely independent of print shops. The output won't suffer much - the stuff that inspires me was in reality mostly put together from multiple pages (with gaps and misalignments).
Epson 8550 - why do you say you need pigment ink?
If so then PRO-300 or P700 - both will cost more to run in ink costs
@KeithCooper pigment ink for durability of prints.
Ok, thanks, will try to choose one of them.
Do you have an article on preparing the prints? E.g. I know printer model in a print shop, how do I get a proof from my own printer which is very close to the outcome of a print shop's one?
If you mean physical durability - wear resistance of p700/pro300 prints is hardly any different to dyes.
Proofing for commercial print [especially if CMYK is involved] needs a sound understanding of colour management.
Get a copy of 'real world color management' by Fraser et al. for that.
For tougher prints see the examples here

This is quite close to what I use my 8550 for. I take real photographs and then manipulate them using GIMP on my Mac (a bit cheaper than Photoshop!). I find there’s no single setting that is good for all, some experimentation is required - which is where the 8550 shines with its low running costs. Happy to send you an example if you want to play!
Yes, that editing software throws a few more variables into the mix... I've used PS for far to long though ;-)
Tutorial on how to print anime characters soon...
Nope - not got any to print, and it wouldn't be materially different to what's in this one!
A good job, I use on Pro 200 Canon "only" sRGB profile for my personal taste and for me (again) it's Ok and no words. In fact the screen (all monitors) is RGB but printed images (all) is make with drops of ink, impossible paragon it "if". I start like printer man since 2013 more or less and have the "occhiometro" because I'm photographer since 1969. Good luck.
Thanks
