There's only one thing better than a print and that's a massive print! When I finally get an A2 printer, this will be something I'll want to do, so thanks for sharing Tim. :-)
I'm so excited! Just ordered a 17" roll from Red River and walked my computer through your steps and it all seems to make sense. I can't wait! I'll be back with a follow-up.
Very interesting. The fact the Canon can't normally print large panos was my only concern with purchasing one - this clearly sidesteps that limitation. Thanks. My only other concern is whether I should hold off, because canon must be about due to replace it, and perhaps the next model may come with a built-in facility for printing panos - as against having to come up with workarounds like yours.
Thanks for this Tim. Really useful video. I was going to order a17 inch roll earlier for my Pro 1000. Not for panoramic yet but mainly for 24 inch x 16 inch with borders or the metric 600mm x 400mm with a 1cm border. My order will come tomorrow or at the w/e. can't wait to do some large prints in 3:2 format.
Hi Graham and Fotospeed, I'm thinking about buying this printer to print on canvas and use a 17" canvas roll on it. The specifications of the printer say that it only prints up to A2 size which is 42cm but a 17" roll canvas paper is 43.2cm. Were you able to use that 17" roll that you said on this printer or was the paper bigger than the paper feeder? Thanks in advance.
@@Levan-tw Hi Kevin, the printer is actually Japanese of course and so is built for the American and worldwide market. The UK is expected to use A sized papers. Yes 17 in width fits fine. It does say it somewhere but you have to download different spec sheets find it. There have been updates to the length and it is now about 120cm I think. I printed at 25in x 17in to give 24 x 16 with a 0.5in border all round. The problem was getting the thick, stiff art paper (NST Bright White) flat enough not to catch at the leading edge. I used a Stanley knife to cut the length but it left a small ridge. If I were to go into frequent printing at this size I would first buy a high quality A2 cutter ( they cut larger than A2) and possible use a thinner art paper. Good luck
I can't help but notice that you didn't take any extra measures to ensure that the paper was square to the printer. Does it auto align? If so, does that rely on a perfectly square cut front edge?
Very useful tip about tricking the sensor. I have a large 17 inch roll of Ilford Smooth Pearl. When I try to feed sheets cut from this roll into my Pro-1000, there is noticeable curl at the leading and trailing edges. This produces headstrikes whether I use the top or rear paper feed. Suggestions about flattening the paper? I find that reverse rolling produces creases. Thanks.
Would if help to try and just like Tim left a few inches trailing to leave a few leading and then cut it off, would the suction in the printer help and figure out the head strikes after a few inches go through?
This is available on the Canon pro 200 where it will and I have printed up to 999mm almost a metre Long , top tip cut the paper a day before and lay it flat ,the longer you leave it the easier it will be to print on and a note i use canons software to print this on but you have to have a border , so ive used 10mm on the width so 13 inch paper Roll width 330.2mm becomes 310.00 printable area works fine .
Hello, I'm thinking about purchasing a Canon Pro 1000, now maybe a Canon Pro 1100. Can you tell me if these printers can print on canvas and is printing on canvas a "normal" programable print option on these printers. Thank you.
Looks easy by watching you. I don't know how heavy is this paper, but I am wondering if we need to uncurl the paper before printing using 300+ gsm fine art paper? And if it was ok to roll the paper in the opposite way or if that may damage the coating. We can read many contradictory advices on the Internet... Thanks!
Hi David, no you shouldn't have a problem with the coating. I may make it easier to load in the printer if uncurled. We do offer a de-curler fotospeed.com/fotospeed-paper-de-curler-24-610mm-x-38mm.html Tim
I finally figured out how to print 25” on my pixma pro10. But I’ve got quite a few 1:3 panoramas that would look awesome at 36” long. Do you think this driver update would work on the 10?
OH MAN!!!! Red River Ultra Satin Pro 4.0. B&W 17" 36" About 15 minutes. Canon Accounting Manager said I used $2.60 in ink. Scotch. Do you like Scotch? I am so buying!! I'm not going to tell my friends, tho. I'm certain you can understand. Thank You, Sir!

Hi Julian, Thank you let me know when you need your A2 printer! Tim
@@FotospeedUK You can count on that...you guys will be the first place I'll be calling! :-)
Thank you... I just received my Pro 1000... stoked to get it up and running!!!
Great to hear! Happy printing.
Hello 51 hondarc, can you tell me if the Pro 1000 can effectively print on canvas? thanks
Thanks Tim. Really appreciate this kind of content that you are putting out.
An interesting video, thanks! Will order a roll of paper and give it a try.
Hi Mike, happy printing!! Tim
Loved this . I’m going to have to try this. Thank you Tim
Have fun!
DITTO!! I'm intriuged!

@@grahamsaxbyphotography Thank you very much, your answer was so helpful :)
Thanks for the video Tim, I hope to be getting a Pro 1000 at the end of the year and looking forward to have a go at panoramas

I use the same paper and same problem, I just cut paper longer and start print 2inchs back
I really wish they would have made it a roller print. My Canon TC 20M holds a 2 core 24x100 roll.

@@FotospeedUK Thanks Tim for your reply!
David, I cut the roll into lengths and store the paper flat, it makes it a lot easier for feeding.
Can I use it for printing stickers and cards?
Is the GP4000 still manufactured? Is the Pro 4100 it's replacement? And why can't the 4100 use the fluro pink like the 4000?
I finally figured out how to print 25” on my pixma pro10. But I’ve got quite a few 1:3 panoramas that would look awesome at 36” long. Do you think this driver update would work on the 10?
Your boarders are all over the place the left and right hand side should be equal as did set the boarders manually
Your right but it's a test print, not commission
Hi Tim, I couldn’t find any 12inch rolls on the website, my printer has a feed width of 13.4 inches. Can you let me know where to look
Thanks
Hi Tim, Do you know if you can do this on the Canon PRO-100S?
Hi Steve, I far as know the option is not available on the Pro-100s. Tim
@@FotospeedUK pro 100 to 999mm so s should.

Very informative I want to give this a shit, thinking a gallery of 4 vertical 1.2m prints.
Can I do this on the Pro-100?
You would need to check what the length of the print restriction of the driver is, but in theory, yes.
how to print longer then 22inch? my printer show me error everytime I try print longer, thanks
Hi Sean, you will have to update to the latest firmwire and driver version. Tim
@@FotospeedUK I have the same error, although i have updated the driver to the latest firmware. Any ideas?
Print 17 inch x 45 inch paper
Sadly you cannot print borderless with roll paper.
