Nice one Andrew, my 1100 just arrived this morning. It’s still sitting in the box, unopened. I’m an absolute newbie to printing and was having a bit of a panic having watched a few other videos from professional printers thinking i was in over my head with this machine. It was reassuring to watch your video as a beginner yourself and see the simplicity of getting started. There is obviously a huge amount of learning to come but you’ve shown that the best way to go about it is just to get started on the journey. Thanks for your time and effort in making this tutorial. Much appreciated.
Awesome.. thanks for sharing your unboxing, setting up the printer, and using it to print out a photo.. magic, and this printer is definitely on my list as a landscape photographer. 👍😁
As someone said, don't shut it off - maybe even get it its own UPS. If you slow down and stop printing a lot, you should just run a nozzle check a couple times a week to reset some of the internal timers so it won't do one of those auto-clean cycles. Also, you will probably want to invest in a calibration kit for your monitor to save on the soft proofing prints. Look up Keith Cooper, he's doing an in-depth evaluation of one of these printers.
This is not true. Shutting it off properly(!) needs little to no ink. Whats a big issue is unplugging it from the wall. That will cause the printer to run a deep clean when turning it on for the next time. Same ofc goes for those wall outlets which can turn off, that also results in the printer running a cleaning before the next time its used. Using the power button on the printer to turn it off will cause the printhead to seal in the park position properly, so it can‘t dry out (at least for a couple months). Shutting off the printer with a socket however, will result in the printer not sealing the head properly, thats also why it will run cleaning cycles.
Enjoyed the video on the printer! Can you please advise what application you used to make your 'reference sheet' test print page (9 images) on the video. Most appreciated!
Solid video. Used to have a Canon Pro series printer, was my first large format. Now running the Epson P900. I think for all printers, just make sure to print at least one or 2 images a month during slower times to keep the printer ‘active’. Have fun paper shopping! Lots of great experimenting with paper types.
@@andrew310konya I initially gravitated to Hahnemuehle Rag & I think it's nice for B/W or a more muted look. But I have really been liking Moab's Exhibition Luster for all around good color & more sublte sheen.
You should pick two to three papers that you like using and getting custom profiles made for those papers with your printer. I'd also highly recommend getting a color critical monitor, that's calibrated. If you have a well calibrated setup, it should take 95% of the guesswork out of the editing process. Beyond that, making good prints is as much an art as a science, and just takes an extended amount of practice. Personally, I'd recommend printing straight from lightroom/photoshop rather than the print utility, especially if your computer hasn't fallen prey to the OS13 printer bug.
Very nice video, also ni e presentation. If you have the motivation, post more experience- videos with the Canon 1100 (which I may buy myself in 2025).
Very good video. I want to buy a printer. If you were to choose between the Canon Pro 1100 and the Epson P5370, which one would you choose? Both are 17 inches.
Just a heads up for anyone considering this printer. there might be a persistent issue of horizontal banding. Keith Cooper noted this with a pre-production model in his written review and I can confirm this with a production model that I bought 2 weeks ago. Essentially the prints are useless to me unless these issues are resolved.
hey mate, please use cotton gloves , the oils in your finger will become smudges later on the paper. You might not see them at the moment but they will show in couple of years. I know those prints were "tests" but just in case. Good video :)
@@DionisFerizi couldn’t agree more, I appreciate the tip 🔥🤙 yes these were tests but I think creating good printing etiquette from the start of this new journey, especially as I look to start selling my artwork, is crucial! Appreciate the watch!
@@andrew310konya No problem. The pro 1000 has been my holy grail for a long time now, i've had the chance to get it a few times but i couldn't justify the price. It would've been easier if it didn't need to run all the time so it doesn't waste ink. My biggest concern is that i'll get it , i'll print a lot in the beginning and then it will sit there for weeks.
Just for let you know, in the last step of saving the tiff file in the prompt screen that says something like Tiff compression, the best option between size and quality is LZW you saved in ZIP, it's ok, but that option takes longer to save because tries to "compress" more the image with the zip algorithm, i hope this helps.
I have the Canon Pro-1000 large format printer. My advice would be to keep it operational/printing at least a few time per week. This will give you a better return on you ink. To replace all of my ink at one time is $400+. The printer drinks ink during it's start up process and cleaning after powering it on. It will agitate the ink cartages by vibrating them and then go through a cleaning process which purges a lot of ink to the waste cartage. Hence going through waste cartages as well.
In case you didn't know, this printer uses a lot of ink to clean head automatically. You will have to print very frequently otherwise most of the inks are dumped into maintenance tank. Also never turn it off, open start up it goes into head checking and cleaning too.
@@pennyfan13 thanks for the tips! I have heard of this ink usage dilemma, so as I continue to use this printer, I hope to help give more insight and quantity just how much ink this printer uses in various scenarios 🔥🤙 appreciate you!

For me, even if there was a A4 equivalent, I know the printer won’t get used so much and the ink would be a problem when it comes to cleaning. I’ll stick with Snapfish. Enjoy the printer!
@ $1300 US for the machine and $900 US for ink cartridges you better be more than a casual "Enthusiast" to use this thing. Because it would take a LOT of prints to justify such hardware. And yes as mentioned if you aren't printing enough. Get ready to flush lots of $ down the drain to prime the nozzle and or replace a dried up clogged print head due to non-usage. Better to stick with a online print shop for the weekend warrior photog.
This product is not for people who have at least ONE print per day. If you would print a few per month, forget about investing in this. Just waste of money.
@@andrew310konyaThats just not correct, don‘t listen to him. The Canon Pro 1100 is exactly made for these people who don‘t need a bigger lab machine (the fujifilm ones) yet still want to print their own professional photos somewhat affordably. The bigger lab machines which are used for professional photo printing cost 20x as much as the Pro 1100. In that regard, it can still be seen as a „toy“.
@@axgrf no, the pro 1100 is made for small jobs (ie up to 17x22). It is a professional printer (it uses the same head as canon's big roll printers), it just isn't a large format roll printer. You should be printing weekly, if not daily on any pro machine to get best usage out of them.
I would say it depends on your perspective. I’m using it for my own photography as well as for others, but it does cost me a heck of a lot less to invest in this printer than to go outside repeatedly. Time between each print is less of a factor for me when I considered everything else.
So, I often print nothing in a day, but am buying this printer to replace my P800 which has sadly succumbed to something approaching dementia. I don't know how you could run a print on demand service by outsourcing ... not with a 1-hour turnaround time / qa / required paper types / etc. My wife is a harsh mistress ;)
@@francescogargiulli542it is a big cost if it is just for yourself, but it's amazing to help you learn more about your shots, and really satisfying to see something of your own on A2 paper. Pick a crop/ measurements that'll allow you use a ready-made frame, and hang them up. You might even end up selling some ;)

Love it, thanks so much for taking the time to write this! 🔥 Let’s carry that energy into 2025! Now go get printing 🤙🙏
I am headed to purchase one. I’m sooo excited as a photographer this is gonna be perfect for me❤❤❤ Thank You for the informative video.
Awesome.. thanks for sharing your unboxing, setting up the printer, and using it to print out a photo.. magic, and this printer is definitely on my list as a landscape photographer. 👍😁
A must have for you! Love it, thanks! 🔥
This is perfect for a primer on this sophisticated machine.
Appreciate the support!
Printers are the only tech I can’t master. As a tech savvy young person, it blows my mind when I can’t get a printer to just print 😂🙃 Great video!
Just keep throwing ink at the paper and see what sticks 😅 appreciate it 🔥🤙
Thanks for you video, I'm looking forward to more of your work to come!
Thank you! 🔥

Thanks for a good videos. Can you make a video about making icc. Profiles and using the canon Media Configuration tool.
Awesome review man! Went this whole vid thinking your follower count was 214K. Highly underrated!
Slowly but surely! Thanks so much, means alot! 🔥

Hi, between the Canon 1000 and the new 1100, which of the two prints better in quality and which of the two consumes less ink?

Are you sure you picked the correct paper size?
I picked the wrong print settings, that's why the image didn't fill the page. Lesson learned haha.
For me, even if there was a A4 equivalent, I know the printer won’t get used so much and the ink would be a problem when it comes to cleaning. I’ll stick with Snapfish. Enjoy the printer!
I hope we have lucked in and the non-us versions of those don't have that awful 'please wait momentarily' message!!!

buy a printer only if you are selling prints..
