May God bless you for this incredible video !!! Super cool analysis. Would also be cool to know your genuinely honest analysis about other printer brands.
If you can find the older Pro 100 that is the best bet if you're looking for a budget option (although most are being sold for as much as a new Pro-200 printer now as Canon no longer has the Pro 100 series on sale like they did 4-5 years ago when they were practically giving them away). But the nice thing about the older Pro 100 is that you can find a lot of third party inks that are very close to what Canon offers and can save a lot of money that way. Some or many of the new printers combat the use of third party inks and so far, a few cannot be easily replicated by big ink suppliers so while you may be getting a newer version of a printer, or a slightly improved version, you are giving up the option of being able to use third party inks which can be helpful if you're doing a lot of high volume printer, and again, there are companies producing inks that are very competitive to the OEM inks, just a lot cheaper in "bulk". At first when Canon was giving away the Pro 100's I got a few of them (each were about $50 in the end after MIR and taxes) and am glad I did, because one died about 2 years in, but I still have the other two (one is still new in the box) so I'll be good for printers, but the point is that these printers cost me about 1/4 of what a new Pro 200 costs today, and as far as i can tell, I probably won't need to buy another printer for at least another 4-5 years+ as long as Canon continues to make the CLI-42 inks for them, but even if they stop, there is always the third party inks. This is also a good reminder that if sales do come up on printers, jump on them, because these printers (the PRo 100/100s) are now being sold by people who bought them for almost nothing in some cases, for a few hundred dollars and making a killing on them. (I also picked up a Pro 10 for about $100 when all said and done, but sadly, that one only lasted a little more than a year but was not in warranty when it failed, and was going to cost about $500 to fix so I just recycled it, which is a shame because that was the ideal printer IMO for me, but the Pro 100's still get the job done too).
Thank you Michael for great review on Canon Printers. I have the 8750 but find the colour off sometimes in comparison to what I am looking at on the screen even though its calliberated.
Michael, thanks for this video. I too think the Canon printers are amazing. As a professional photographer creating finished products for clients, how do you compare the work/cost/space requirements of self printing vs using a professional lab such as Kaleidoscope or Loxley?
Thank you for your printer video, Michael! Our concern with the Pro-1000 is that it is nearing its end of life or a time when Canon generally obsoletes printers. We had a great Canon printer, two years older than the Pro-1000, until Canon stopped supporting drivers on our Apple computer late last year. We want to avoid a repeat. Is there any news about Canon introducing a newer model of the Pro-1000?
Michael! Thank you for the reviews. I was wondering, is the cheaper 8750 capable of printing simple rich black text well on thicker media as well as the Pro-100 or the newer Pro-200? You mentioned monochrome rich blacks look better on the Pro series. Does that affect rich black text? Thank you in advance.
Great review! What is the approximate amount of time before a print from the Pro 100S using Chromalife 100+ inks will begin to fade? A print made with 100% cotton rag paper. Thanks for your help.
Prints can resist colour fading for approximately 50 years when displayed in a glass frame in a typical indoor space (estimating 500lux/10 hours per day) without direct sunlight. If it's UV glass, the timespan will be longer
@@PermaJetUK Thank you, this is the information I've been looking for and you're the only one who has been able to answer my question! 50 years under regular glass, not UV glass (without direct sunlight) is very good. I thought it might be just a few years without UV glass. I sell prints from the Pro 200 and want to know that my buyers are getting a quality print that will not fade in a few months or years. And I ALWAYS recommend UV glass and no direct sunlight. You have been very helpful, thank you!

Objectively, this video kicks arse.

Dude, i was randomly searching for specs on printing on a canon pixma ip8720 and your video showed up. LOL! WHAT! love ya brother.

Thanks for the detail comparison

Hi, thank you for your video! What about pro 300 and why you didn’t include it in your video?
The Canon PRO-300 wasn't out when we made this video, we have a second video here - ruclips.net/video/NDtwOlZDrCQ/видео.html
@@PermaJetUK thank you

Hi John, we have no news of a newer model being introduced in 2022 so you shouldn't have any issues with drivers any time soon
Michael, thanks for video. Do you think that the Pro-300 printer is also good for everyday print?
It's definitely suitable for everyday prints!
@@PermaJetUK Thanks
The Pro 300 is the replacement for the 10S, so if I were buying an A3+ photo printer, I wouldn't hesitate & go for the Canon Prograf Pro300!
Thanks for the reviews. Do let me say the droning electric guitar is very distracting.
what is better than the 8750 for vinyl prints for clothing i want to buy the pro1000 because of this video but am not sure
Michael! Thank you for the reviews. I was wondering, is the cheaper 8750 capable of printing simple rich black text well on thicker media as well as the Pro-100 or the newer Pro-200? You mentioned monochrome rich blacks look better on the Pro series. Does that affect rich black text? Thank you in advance.
The iP8750 doesn't handle the gradations in monochrome photos as well as the other printers, but there should be absolutely no issue with black text
Do any of the Canon Professional printers support duplex printing? For example printing calendars and postcards.
Not in the professional range unfortunately, it has to be done manually
Would you use Gloss 271 in a 10s or what Gloss paper would you recommend ?
You could definitely use Gloss 271! Alternatively you could go for a higher grade like FB Mono Gloss Baryta 320
Great review! What is the approximate amount of time before a print from the Pro 100S using Chromalife 100+ inks will begin to fade? A print made with 100% cotton rag paper. Thanks for your help.
Thank you! Canon estimate the prints will maintain their colour for up to 300 years if the prints are stored in an archival-quality album
@@PermaJetUK Thanks. How about if they are displayed in a frame with UV glass -- or WITHOUT UV glass?
Prints can resist colour fading for approximately 50 years when displayed in a glass frame in a typical indoor space (estimating 500lux/10 hours per day) without direct sunlight. If it's UV glass, the timespan will be longer

@@PermaJetUK Would this color fading resistance hold true for the Canon Pro Premium papers, such as Pro Premium Matte, which is not acid free?
i can not find any Canon iP8750 here in canada :( is there any new model or something like that?
No, the Canon iP8750 is still the current model but there have been issues with stock lately
What about Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-300 and Canon PRO PRO-200?
This video was filmed before they were released. We have a PRO-300 video on our channel and a PRO-200 one coming soon
Can Permajet Transfer Film used by Canon Pro-100S?
It can yes!
Pemajet why you skip canon 200 and 300
This video was filmed before the release of these two printers. We have a few Canon PRO-300 videos on our channel & a PRO-200 one coming soon!
Image samples would really help this video a lot, or at least some b-roll. It’s hard to watch a talking head for 21 mins straight.
What are the best a4 printers?
Any of these printers can handle A4 but if you're after a small printer the Canon iP8750 is a great choice
