I wore out my old Epson 3800 and than a 3880 and that one died in the middle of the pandemic when it became next to impossible to find a new larger format printer. Finally after many recommendations and my problem with Epson spitting ink near the end and new print heads not available, I swithed to the Canon 1000 about 3 months ago. Have learned a lot of tricks with that printer and there is a LOT of missinformation out there about it.
First....it does not waste as much ink as some report. When new it will go through about 60% of the ink filling the tubes....but the next cartidges will not have to fill the tubes so last a lot longer.
Next...there are tricks to save ink and the most important one is to go into the settings and turn off the auto shut down which is settable to various numbers of hours or never....set to never.
To prevent clogs just print something every couple of days....i doesn't have to be a large print....even just a 1" square tiny print does the trick. I like to reduce my test print down to that size so it uses all the inks. If you have an extended period of time when you won't be able to print, there are apps that will do that automatically.
The big mistake owners make...especially hobbiests...is to think that the printer can sit unused for longer time and not have clogs....it it does clog the heads can be cleaned but that uses ink...a lot more than my method of a tiny print every day or so. If you are a hobbiest you may be better off just using an outside print service....it will be cheaper in the long run. In my case I do print more prints but also want the absolute control I get by doing my own printing...especially since I print many sizes including non standard sized of prints.
I have a surge protector and it also includes a Uninteruptable Power Supply so if the power goes off it won't turn the printer and the rest of my gear off....thus saving me a wasted ink purge cycle when it gets switched back on.
I use ICC profiles with mostly Canon papers but also have used HP and some of my old Epson paper.
There is one issue with the software provided by Canon that I and some others have noted. I am able to use the 8 bit driver and 16 bit drivers with Photo Shop and Lightroom no issues. However, Canon comes with a plug in called Print Shop Pro which is really a great plug in with lots of neat features BUT for some reason it no longer prints with the 16 bit driver alhough the 8 bit does fine. The difference between the two is minor...mainly a bit smoother transitiion in blues and violets gamut. I contacted Canon about this but they are working on it. I suspect that a new update from Canon may have caused the problem (not sure of Apple but I believe someone found that to be an issue also). If you pull up the file that it sends to the printer....the 8 bit is fully populated whereas the 16 bit drops all out. The symptom is that if you try to print with the 16 bit driver it will go through the loading process but the paper will just pass through the printer without any printing. I do have the latest Canon Firmware so that may be the problem....my printer came the latest firmware which I think is 2.0 which was released recently. That firmware does give some additioonal features such as now being able to print up to 17"x 47".
The fingal tip is that do NOT change inks when it says they are getting low. At at point there is a LOT more ink. I have a very accurate gram scale and weighted a full cartridge vs. one that is "low"....there was still about 20% or more ink left. Wait until the ink runs out. Also you can change the ink without triggering a purge of all the inks. Run a print through first and than change out the one cartidge. It will start up just as normal. Some were waiting until a bunch of inks showed low warning and than replacing several at the same time. This is a waste of ink....just replace the empty one. The newer printers have a more robust ink tank latching mechanism so you can actually remove and replace a ink tank without any problems....if it is low, Some of the original printers had a problem with breaking latch mechansm. When you put it back it will show the same amount of ink remaining as before. This is where I use my gram scale....a new tank weighs 115 grams on my scale....when it is nearly completely depleted it weighs 45 grams.that is when I replace them.
Hope this helps other owners save some money with wasted ink. I have not gone with after market inks so I won't have any issue with my extended warranty. But others have without issue although some colors may not be quite as good as Canon....I have heard the red ink is the one that causes problems. I am a professional photographer and also astrophotographer so the inks I most use are the glossy black and grey due to the night sky background so at one point I would be tempted to go with an after market black. If you have the same issue with the Print Photo Pro plug in I would love to hear about it....and please complain to Canon so we can get some action. It isn't an issue with pringingh from the Adobe programs but we paid for a 16 bit printer so it would be nice for Canon to give us that ability in their own software.
Bottom line...the PRO 1000 is one hell of a great printer and built like a tank.
HOLY SMOKES! Thank you for all the rich info!!! I definintely try and print every few days as well! I think I am going to try going back to the Canon software again... LR has done me well the last year, but worth a shot to try the Canon again. Thanks for the heads up on firmware too though!
Such a good video and so much extra information provided. Thank you so much.
I've had mine for around the same time. Tip: I've worked out if I you do a nozzle maintance test and leave the printer on it doesn't use as much ink. By that I mean I print a test paper and do nothing else, then just close the paper tray so you don't walk into it and repeat that process every other day. If you don't and turn the printer off by pushing the off button, when you start it back up that's when the usage kicks in. On RUclips you can find old Joe who walks you through the pro's and con's. For me it's just a little to much overload but good on him he seems like a great guy.
I have the Pro 200 and it's great. Now I'm toying with the idea of buying this. The inks are expensive but they always are.
New to printing myself and wanting to start printing my drone photography and this has helped me massively. Thankyou!!
Drone photos are the BEST!!! Which drone are you shooting with? Thank you for watching!!!
Nice bit of insight! I finally pulled the trigger and ordered this beast yesterday...I've been pondering it for a good long while...looking forward to using it.
Right on! Happy printing, Mike!
Great video.
Wow very useful….subscribed right away👌🏾
Thank you so much for this video. Very informative.
Thank you for watching, Gary!!
Love the photo in the video very cool.
Thank you for sticking around until the end!!
I found your video days after I got my Canon Pro-1000. It's an excellent introduction to new users. If I were to add anything, it would be to mention how to make pattern prints in advance of printing the final photo. As you may know, "pattern prints" is the tab located at the bottom of the color settings panel. It's uses less ink than making small test prints to get the colors right.
Thanks for the tips, especially the one for white balance!
Absolutely! Happy printing :D
Great video, thank you! I have the Canon Pro 300 but this was still very useful.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
utterly charming presentation. simple, but covers the high points.
very engaging personality.
Thank you for the kind feedback, and for watching!! :)
I’ve had my pro 1000 for a similar time and it truly is transformative 👍☺️📷
Right, Ian?! I feel like my photography has almost come full circle...Thanks so much for watching!
Learned much from the video, sorry if I missed the info, but what was the equipment used and the settings. I think you should do a video showing the workflow for the photos to the finished produced.
Mallory, loved the video thanks for sharing, you should give the Canon print program a 2nd look it is very good and there are a few videos on youtube about it. love the print work, what paper did you use?
Thanks! I'm curious about how you check WB. Do you crank Vibrance and Saturation before you print every/any photo?
got mine 3 yrs ago, here they sells it as Pro 500 but basically is the same printer. Until this day my printer counter is 6542 prints as i wrote this, and still works like champ, i barelly need to do head cleaning, because the printer can maintain by itself. i mostly print 30x40cm print, compare to my old epson, Canon is more superior, and more durable. With epson, if i'm not use the printer for a week, than i need to do cleaning cycle, and the printhead is more expensive
thanks for the info
You bet, Ted!
Mallory I am delighted to have stumbled upon your channel, it's concise, informative and above all helpful! I have also (it took time to find a supplier) switched to filling the cartridges myself with I am happy to say, great success. So thanks from Blighty.
Thank you for the kind words/feedback, Marten! Happy printing and lmk if there are any videos you'd like me to post!
Great video. May I ask where you purchase your frames/etc. from?
Hi Mallory !
Very nice vid and tips ! Thanks a lot !!
Have you tried other printers (like Epson) ?
Do you still print with labs, too ?
Take good care.
Colin
Canon printers are bullet proof. After going through 2 Epson photo printers, I purchased a Pro-100 7 years ago, and it keeps on trucking. One critical area you omitted is the necessity to color calibrate your monitor(s) with a hardware Colorimeter like the Spyder or X-Rite.
Hello from India 🇮🇳
Great content and informative video
Thanks for uploading 😊
Firmware Update 3.010 brings panorama printing to the PRO 1000 beyond 17x22.
AWESOME to know!! Thank you for letting me know, Mike!
Hi Mallory! New Subscriber 👍I found your channel because Jared Polin uses the same printer, so I wanted to see what it’s all about and your video is one of the first recommend videos. 😊
Awesome white balance tip. I so need to start printing more. Currently using pro-100. Thanks for the video. 😁
Glad you found it helpful!!! Print your work!! Do itttttt! Thanks for watching!
What is happening in the white balance tip? I'm not sure how the WB has been checked with this method?
By overexaggerating the vibrance and saturation, it shows the dominant colors in your shot and gives a clearer picture of 1)if you WB is correct and 2) how the image will come out for print :)
@@mallorydavisphotography As in, you'll be able to see the balance of the various colors easier?
And do most printers tend to print with stronger vibrance/saturation?
Thanks for the explanation!
I have never used the software for the canon pro 1000, I printed first with lightroom and it worked! You work is excellent by the way!
Huge thanks, Jonathan!!! Appreciate you watching :)
I like the cabinet the printer is on. Is it from somewhere online? Looking for a good spot for printer.
Great video, and a great photo.
I have had the Pro1000 for several years and just love it.
The only downside I have found is the cost of the ink.
Oh well, ya get what ya pay for.
I just bought this printer and you are going to save me allot of time and $$$
so glad you found it helpful!!! happy printing, Sonya!
Nice video. I would love a printer however it might sit up to 2 months without printing. How long can the printer sit without printing?
I love the image. The archival nerd in me is cringing at the lack of cotton gloves, though. 🤣😂
Very lovely video , thanks for sharing the inspiration and knowledge. I am wondering about the ink that goes in and how is that when not used, drying out and etc. overall absolutely stunning, and I wonder if I am going to use this one for my abstract and collage digital art
You raise a question MANY others have commented and I plan to making a follow-up video to address ink use, cost, etc. How does that sound? Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks for the video. Great suggestions. The now current firmware will print up to 17" x 47.24"
Holy smokes! Good to know, Mike! Thanks so much for watching@
@@mallorydavisphotography will we see a17x47.25 print?
good tip with the white balance !
Thank you! And thanks for watching
Dope!
good evening ma'am, doing some research for this printer. how many printed image can be print before running out of ink? any advice if i choose to buy this printer? thank you
What size is those IKEA RIBBA frames? Love ‘em. Great video!
Great video. Would love to get a "tour" of all your prints on the wall and see how big you have printed them and on which paper.
Adding this to my list of video to-do’s 👍 thank you for watching!!!
And recommendations for framing them please. 👍
Thinking of buying this printer and everyone seems to love them. BTW, you have beautiful teeth :)
Great vid! I watched last night and am testing out your white balance tip this morning. I have been battling white balance since I first picked up a camera and wow, this technique is REALLY useful! Thank you for sharing! Have you made a vid specifically about your approach to white balance? It might be useful to a lot of photogs.
I’m so glad it helped, Andy!!! I don’t have one yet, but it was on the list to-do! So glad this tip helped!!!
When buying used,what to check on it ?
I bought this printer a couple of months ago, but haven't printed or even loaded the ink cartridges yet. Can't wait to get some decent images to print. Thanks for the demonstration, I can't wait to use it.
I see how it might seem overwhelming! Wishing you happy printing!!! Thank you for watching :)
I can send you something if you like. I’m traveling Mexico and got some good shots
Great informative video. I guess I would love to know a little about the business case you make for the printer, especially as you have a years experience of running costs. Or do you run the printer and it’s costs for creative freedom? Thank you
I am definitely in the red with this printer! But I do sell prints to try and subsidize the ink 😩 there is software canon makes for the accounting side of this printer; would you be interested in a rundown of that??? Thank you for watching!
Why don’t you use the ca in print and layout program from canon ? There is even a Lightroom extension. Very good and easy to use.
That tip about turning down your screen brightness and editing from there was so HUGE. You just blew my mind 😂😂
Dude!!! I can't tell you how many times my Mac auto increases brightness and I'm like... wow, this image looks like CRAP on my phone.... every time LOL!
Great video. Thanks for the tips. I’ve really struggled to get my prints to look as bright as *I think* the edits do on the monitor. Also using an online print service rather than my own printer so getting the results back can often be disappointing!
Glad it helped, Scott! Monitor brightness is HUGE! Thank you so much for watching!
If you're printing with pigment ink the color will never be as vibrant as dye ink.
Not sure I get it. If your monitor is correctly calibrated, and you have appropriate profiles for all your printer/paper combinations, then what you see on the monitor with soft-proofing will be what the print will look like.
Mmm as I eventually bought a Canon Pro 4100 printer I will tell you what I have learnt. As the 1000 and the 4100 both have 'pigment' ink opposed to dye ink this is what I have found. Pigment ink is no where near as vibrant as dye ink so your excitement over your color gamut is perplexing to me? I was basically underwhelmed when I first saw my color prints. I do a lot of B&W which is where the pigment ink excels. So the big advantage of pigment ink is the archrival properties which insures longevity of your work for your customers/collectors, that is really it's selling point.
Hi. Just discovered your channel and watched this video. I use the Canon Pro 300, the baby brother/sister to the 1000. Excellent printer.
Thanks for the tips Re: correcting images before printing.
I use Canon’s plug-in for Lightroom Classic. Makes printing SO much simpler. Maybe give it a go? I’d love to see your views on it.
Thanks again for your content.
Thank you for watching!!! I will have to check it out! Thanks for the tip!
Canon Pro printers, maybe the easiest to own printer. I have the pro 100 & have gone as long as 4 months without printing with no problems. I try & print something every week or two. Expensive to own but really adds to the whole photography experience for me. Canon papers are fine for most printing that will be mounted, framed & hung on the wall. Tried a couple of sample packs of Canson papers & like a few of them. Adds to the experience (especially the heavier papers) if your going to be handling them. Have a couple of Red River paper sample packs I'm going thru now. Some nice ones. Next will be Moab paper & after that Hannemule.
You do the File/drop down menu to page set-up thing in LR? I let LR or Affinity Photo control the color. But if your way works for you, that is all that matters. Own Qimage also but am so use to printing from LR. Slacker when it comes to filing so to re-print a photo after months, might take some more work than it should.
Anyway, some very nice photos, and prints. Happy New Year.
Great call out! I do try to print (even just a 4x6) on my Pro-1000 every week or so as to not waste ink! I have Moab 13x19 and it is SO NICE! Yes, I use the LR Print module and keep it to auto. You're not the first person to mention Qimage, so I will have to check that out! Thanks for watching and happy new year to you as well!
@@mallorydavisphotography I get a email letter from Lest P about printing. Him & his partner favor the Moab Juniper for a lot of their work. If you look up panoramas-nodal point you will probably come across one of his vids. He is using a RRS pano set-up in the bid. Probably came across him through the Moab site. Thanks for the reply.
I am considering upgrading from my Canon Pixma Pro-100, even though I am a hobbyist and primarily print for myself. I watched a review on the Pro-1000 yesterday. The reviewer cautioned that the 1000 makes beautiful prints, but the printer needs to be used quite regularly, otherwise a LOT of ink is wasted when the printer starts up. I guess it cleans the print head(s) when it starts, and the heads have dried out from sitting for a few days, the amount of ink wasted can be a serious consideration. Do you have an opinion regarding this issue? Your video was great. Thank you.
That video is accurate… when the printer isn’t used it regularly cleans itself and you end up having to purchase a maintenance cartridge… which is basically ink wasted 😩
Hello, I am a old photographer, was wondering if you can tell me if you have any information about the canon pro 300 , thanks for sharing
hai miss Mallory can y tell something about that every week expensive paint flushing of the machine .I red that to tacklle that expensive aotoflushing that you should print an A4 paper with low colour flets letters on it to fool the machine and avoid that after a few months no printing the whole machine ink is finished.How do y manage Mallory or do y print often? regards.
Thank you very much...😊🤩🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍
However I would like to know how often you have to print to get it running ? Have you any estimate how many photos and how many packes of ink it took for one year ?!?
Great questions! I try to print once every 2 weeks, at least. In one year with a TON of printing I went thru one entire set of ink.
@Mallory Davis Photography
Wow... that's really sounds much better than people think...
I almost srart to forget about it, and didn't want to... One guy read from a letter that someone "lost" half of the ink to the printer... Anyway, I can print on canvas with bright colors for keeping it running and draw with colors the samples, as I already planned, so it won't be wasted.
Many many thanks, you made my day now. 😊🥰😍🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍
Hi, Mallory. First of all, thank you for the video. I enjoyed it. And... I would like to ask you a question: do you know how many prints (biggest size) can you get with a complete ink set ? and have you calculated cost per print ? Thank you very much. Hugs from Brazil...
Hi there! I did a video covering just this topic!! Check it out here! ... ruclips.net/video/KgCkdHQtbe0/видео.html
Have you been able to compare glossy prints made by an Epson p900? I've primarily used matt on a r3000 because the gloss paper isn't good.
Unfortunately no... I only have experience with this Canon Pro-1000!! WONDERFUL results though :) Thanks for watching!
very interesting, appreciate you discussing the merits of the printer and the tips you are using to smoothen the work flow. a few years back I struggled with up grading to this printer from an older, smaller format canon printer or sending my printing to a professional print lab which had an exceptional reputation for excellent printing. at that time I opted for the lab. having developed a close working relationships turns out to be a huge factor. having all this said, it is a costly route for sure. any thoughts on this sbject ? zen billings in canada
Having that relationship is key!! And I'm assuming you were close to the lab as well? I live about an hour outside of a major city and don't want to do prints virtually - hence my decision to bring it in house (literally lol). The cost is quite a bit... that being said, Canon does have some great software for accounting that provides cost per-print based on the amount you spent on paper, ink, etc. That can help you stay above water with selling!
@@mallorydavisphotography thanks for this tip, it certainly is something worth looking into. I too live quite far from the lab (1.5 hours away by car). on occasion I do visit but shooting only digital i send images digitally and they ship me the prints at no cost to me. I do communicate with the person that does the actual printing and so can convey what i'm looking for from her. thanks again for your insights. zen billings
Nice vlog. Subscribed.
Thanks for the sub!
Is it pigment ink ? How long should they last?
Also,how long does the ink last? Is there a equal with those bottle refills?
Please reply 🙏🏻
I would suggest to calibrate your display. This will show you that most displays are set way too bright and need brightness to be not more than 50%. But please profile. Then print using the icc profiles provided by the paper vendors (hahnemuhle and ilford factory profiles are very good). This takes the guess work out of printing and makes the whole process very consistent. I use qimage to print on macOS.
Thanks for the comment, Fons!! My display is properly calibrated, thankfully! I have not used the icc profiles as I have predominantly printed using Canon paper thus far. Good tip on qimage! I will check it out!
Nice video. Are those prints in the back white bordered or are they matted? I'm really wanting to get into printing and am having trouble deciding between the pro-200 and pro-300, or maybe even starting cheap with an 8720. I'm also not sure I will print consistent, so I'm not sure if dyes would be better than pigment, or if it's the same.
Hi there! Those frames are from Ikea (RIBBA) and the white is the matte. I would start small for sure! I bit off a LOT with this thing and wasted a lot of ink/paper/money in the beginning!
If black and white is your thing, then pigment inks appear to have the edge. They are also archival, if printing on archival paper. Keith Cooper has some very good videos on that
Hey,
Thank's for your review Mallory, glad to found this from french research on youtube ! :)
May you tell me how many prints A2 we can do with this Canon Pro-1000 with a full cartridges ?
See you again 😊😊
Thanks for stopping by!! Thats a GREAT question and I had to do some research as I print all different sizes, but this is what I found! Red River Paper reports (at www.redrivercatalog.com/rr/cost-of-inkjet-printing-canon-pro-1000.html) that in their test, the Pro-1000 used the equivalent of 2.42 cartridges to print 200, 8x10 inch photos. Simple math tells you that should correspond to, e.g., 9.68 cartridges for 200, 16x20 inch photos, or for a full set of 12 cartridges being good for 248, 16x20 inch photo prints
@@mallorydavisphotography thank’s a lot for your return, so it still something usefull to sell photos to our clients, it’s profitable. ☺️
I love your video! By the way where did you order your white frames? Thank you! They looked gorgeous!❤
IKEA! Super cheap! Thank you so much for the kind words and watching 🙏
Can I use canvas paper in this printer?
I do use the canon plugin for Lightroom to do my prints but in Lightroom itself did you not find paper printer profiles help out? I do notice a colour difference in images. Just curious if they come out the same in Lightroom and don’t need to bother with paper profiles, that would be nice :)
This is something I need to dig into!! I plan on doing a follow-up video on this soon! Thank you so much for watching!
I got the same printer.. but please tell me.. Arent you afraid that the colors gets wierd if you dont use the specifik ICC profile for the paper you use?
Like Canon proluster ICC profile for Canon Proluster paper and so on and so on??
I haven’t experienced that, tbh!!! I’m not sure if I’ve just gotten lucky or finagled the system :) Thank you for watching!!!
Very surprised you didn’t use icc profiles, they make a significant difference
I will have to check this out! I used Canon paper for this demo so I will have to do a head-to-head and see the difference! thanks for watching!
what is your cost for a large print full color?
Hey Mallory, thanks for the Video!
I'm playing with the thought of investing in a fine art printer like the Canon Pro-1000 and went down quite a rabbit hole to find out more about ink consumption, as ink cartridges are a serious cost factor.
I know the image, print size, and paper affect usage, and that's a lot of variables, but maybe you can share your personal experience or give me an general idea of what to expect?
Glad you stumbled upon my video! I have another video that breaks down cost, if you haven't seen it check it out here --> ruclips.net/video/KgCkdHQtbe0/видео.html
This video breaks down estimated ink usage by print that should give you a better idea of variable spend with this printer! Hope this helps :)
After owning this printer for a few months at work, we cannot figure out how to get borderless printing to work. Anything you recommend to get it working? We mainly print out of photoshop.
Great review by the way, the prints are stunning from this machine!
Borderless is baaad idea..
How do you keep you printer clean and unclogged. Do you just use it a lot? Are there any long term storage options?
I actually try and print just one 4x6 a week, if I'm not doing large prints for sale! I've started this practice to keep the ink from being wasted. I am printing snapshots to put in a photo album... like the good old days :)
See my recent post about how to minimize ink wasting in the recent posts for this RUclips post. Set the printer so it never turns off (done from the printer management in the printer)and print a tiny photo every few days....all you need is a 4"x6" print or smaller....print a small image in the 4x6....i.e. a 1x 1/2" photo. If you don't set it to never turn off it will auto do so after various hours (also set in the options). Each time it restarts after being shut down it will purge some ink to prevent clogs....if you print something small it doesn't need that.
There is a free utility for the printer that calculates the cost of each print....you input the actual cost of ink, various paper types....and it not tells you exactly how much ink of each tank was used on a specific print and how much paper is used....it than gives you the actual cost per print as a running table. You input your cost of ink and paper so you can update as prices change....hopefully down but not likely ;-)
Hey Mallory! I am an artist, I paid a lot with white ink on black paper. Was wondering if you have any experience printing on matte paper and how did you find it, and also how is the ink usage? Currently I have Pro 100 and I am considering to upgrade to Pro300 or Pro1000, but I wonder if any of them have better ink usage at all. Thank you for your videos!
Hi there! I prefer more glossy images, but I have a set of MOAB 13x19" matte paper that is BEAUTIFUL! I don't think the usage varies too much between matte and glossy, but I could be mistaken!
would love for you to talk about the costs (Expected and unexpected costs) of the printer. how often do you change ink cartridges, etc.
The Pro 1000 has to be run always , if you let it sit it will clog the nozzles and you will need to run cleaning cycles that will consume lots of ink, the 12 cartridges are about 600+$ OEM, if you do not plan on using it ALWAYS , stay away.
@@photozen8398 I got worried about this. When you say ALWAYS, can you estimate how long can it be sit (without printing) without having a clogging issue ? Thank you.
@@ReidoMato The printer does the cleaning cycles to maintain the superb output, you need to print at least twice a week, that is the minimum that will maintain the nozzles in good shape , if you let it sit for long time idle you will run cleaning cycles and waste ink ( so either get your inks on prints you use in your business or personal pleasure or use inks in the waste cartridge) . I did fall in the trap of letting it sit idle for weeks and I got a clog on the grey channel that I could not get to resolve, I do a cleaning cycle and the clog is gone, I print and run a nozzle check afterwards and clog is back, I am out of warranty, I called Canon they said it is the purge unit ( meaning your printer is going to trash) and they will not help beyond that, there is no service center for canon printer anymore and it will cost you if you go to private repair center the cost of a new printer, what I did finally is using windex on the purge pad sponge that alleviated the problem for now ( but did not resolve it, I still see the missing parts of the grey channel on a nozzle check, but improved significantly) , moral of the story:
If you are not going to commit to print ALAWAY ( at least twice a week) do not buy it. That by the way applies to all high end printers with expensive inks.
Thanks for that info! How many prints do you think you can get with that $600? Say if you’re printing full size around 16” x20”?
Been using my Canon Pro 10 for almost 3 years and enjoy going up to 19x13 prints on Red River papers. If you ever need more powerful printing software, try Qimage Ultimate
Awesome suggestion on Qimage!! Thank you I will have to download and give it a go! Also, how do you like the Red River paper? I have some MOAB that I love in that size
@@mallorydavisphotography I do love Red River, not just for the price but find their different papers work well with canon. Get a sampler pack or two and try them out.
What frames do you use for your 17x22 prints?
I use the Ribba frames from IKEA! I plan on doing a video soon of a refresh of my photo wall and will talk about this as well!
I love your horseshoe bend photo. Would a 24 MP camera take good enough photos for the Pro-1000?
Thank you so much, Dave! I think you could definitely print up to 17x22 with 24mp! You can print all the way up to 40x20 :)
24mp? Goodness you could print 2m x 1m no problem David.
No doubt it is a great printer, but I cannot afford the INK! I find it less expensive to send my prints out to MPIX. I usually print larger than 22X17 and having the Pro-1000 would not always suit me needs. Beautiful photograph of the Horseshoe!
I had to up my price on prints!!! My mom loves MPIX and has gotten great results. Thank you for watching and the kind words!
Is that photo of the milky way a composite? That view of Horseshoe Bend is looking west.
It is a composite! I’m always honest about that 😅😇
I have not read one reveiw that takes into account , the cost of the unit which if you print on A3 and you print around 60 prints a year cost 20 pounds, yes the next fill is more economical but at a cost of around 6/7 00 pounds , which will/should cost around 7 pounds per print , but the printer is worth zero should you wish to sell it. If all goes well and there is not a problem and you have minimum waste and you sell at a good price its great, there are lots on the S/H market with faults and are not selling because it cheaper to buy a new one when you take the cost of the ink into account.
Hi Kim! I actually do a cost breakdown in a separate video... you have to love printing for this thing!
ruclips.net/video/KgCkdHQtbe0/видео.html
you should only boost saturation 🤣 Interesting review! I'm in the looking for a new printer, but I'm torn between Canon and Epson. Do you have any personal recommendations or experiences that might help? Thanks!
Hi there! I don't have any experience with the Epson but I can attest that the Canon has been an absolute joy over the last year!
After couple years of using printer I got error message that print head was not recognize print head it’s a nice printer until this error pops up canon advise to replace whole printer
oh NO!! this is the first I'm hearing of this :( I'm so sorry!!!
What frames do you use for 17x22?
I actually use these frames from IKEA! The matte cuts off a little bit of the image, but they are a great affordable option! www.ikea.com/us/en/p/ribba-frame-black-50268874/
@@mallorydavisphotography ok great I live an hour north of Atlanta
Nice video. I have been using my pro 1000 for almost for 2 years now. It' s a great and reliable printer. For printing, I am using Qimage Ultimate. It's a great software, that makes printing very easy, especially when using lots of different paper and sizes. Almost never use borderless printing, a it keeps the bottom plate much cleaner. The pro 1000 is a real workhorse and likes to be used. To minimise ink usage, you have to print a lot. Canon also provides media management and accounting software, that is very useful.
Thank you for watching! I haven’t heard of Qimage so will have to check that out! I do use the accounting software (failed to mention that!). I try to print often but still don’t think I use this thing as much as it requires! Happy printing 😁
@@mallorydavisphotography Qimage has a special unclog pattern that can be scheduled to print automagically to normal paper. It reduces the maintenance cycle and uses very little ink to print. I have scheduled it once every 24 hours to print the pattern.
Apparently, a firmware update now allows the Pro-1000 to print up to 1,200mm (47.244") long.
I'm on it ;)
It can actually print 17" x 47" in panoramic mode
Dream printer. Can’t afford it yet :/
Epson P900 for me.
Happy Printing!! Thanks for watching, Andy!
Thanks for making this video! Do you know if this printer is suitable for commercial-quality tarot decks?
Great question! I haven’t printed on card stock type material but I know the print heads can accommodate thicker papers.
Another final advice, try to not print borderless too often, you will get the printer head spraying the ink on the edges of the platen when it puts the ink on the edge of the paper and you will get a very very dirty platen that you may regret down the road, keep the borders it will keep your platen CLEAN, my pro 1000 is more than 5 years old and it is clean like a whistle, I never printed borderless.
Great advice!!! Thank you :D and thanks for watching!
There is an option within lightroom that allows you to tell the printer which paper you are using and if you want to optimize the ink. You can find it on the bottom left hand corner, select the drop down menu in the middle and select "quality and media."
I cannot imagine how the expense of this printer could be worth the cost compared to the Pro 1-- which give great results.
Ahh yes, the printer head replacement is around 600 - 800, if you should dry run it
We replaced a Pro-1 with a Pro-1000. Mainly because Canon stopped updating the drivers for the older printer so we couldn’t install it on a new Mac. Plus the new one has WiFi and a screen which makes use much more convenient.

Huge thanks! Subscribed back, interested to check out your videos!!
@@mallorydavisphotography Thank you very much :D
Love how you present things. Your style is becoming increasingly rare on RUclips as the weirdos have begun to be overrepresented. The background music I could do without though that's a small point.
LOL Thank you so much, Sammy :) I have definintely turned down and left out of most videos since this one!
Surprised ink jets came to dominate, despite the problems of dried heads & slowness never being solved. 30 years ago, they seemed like they were going to become a temporary solution until laser printers got cheaper.
Pretty wild right! Thanks for watching!
What's happened to the corners? As a client print this would be unacceptable
I had a crinkle in the paper! I reprinted :D
That is a stunning light trails shot in such a remote place. I only just started shooting light trails last September. I live in a tiny town of 3200 people, one traffic light (at the post office) so there isn't a lot of traffic to get light trails with. That photo should be printed floor to ceiling on the film that you can put up on windows (like the ones you see on buses or store fronts. That would definitely bring people into a commercial photography studio space. I've always been an Epson inkjet person for the past 27 years, but that print is fantastic. The cost of the consumables is frightful though. Test prints are a must. You must get really "ANSI" about getting the right colours out of the printer! *pun intended*.
Thank you so much! Star trails are ADDICTING! I debated btwn Canon and Epson for some time. But you're right, the ink and maintenance cartridges are OUT OF CONTROL! Thank you so much for watching :)
Letting the printer do the printing does not yield the best result, what you may want to do is to use the ICC profile of the paper you are printing on in LR or PS and cancel the printer option ( I think on Mac it does it automatically when you plug in the ICC profile and the paper media in LR, it will grey it out) so that way you use LR as an output and not the printer.
I have to work on these... any tips?! Thank you, PhotoZen!!!
@@mallorydavisphotography best tip is tune to this guy , however to save time I chose this video for you:
ruclips.net/video/FS--2INepcE/видео.html
he KNOWS PRINTING, and you get the best reliable info to get best results, I have been tuned to his channel years and I perfect my prints on any paper I get.
Wish you the best…!!
Canon has a plug in for Lightroom, so I am not quite understanding what you are saying. The printer displays when printing "Lightroom", so its output is from Lightroom, no? Please explain in further detail, as all the reading and watching of videos I have done so far concur with Mallory that you should let the printer handle the color management. It does a superb job all on its own. Open to learning best methods and practices. I am new to this printer, but have been doing archival photo printing for a couple of decades now, trying to get up to speed. I am on a huge learning curve with Photoshop and Lightroom. They have not been in my arsenal before, I used other programs for the last 25 years. Thanks for any input you might have.
