Canon Pro 100 printer - worth getting?

Hello!  I have a chance to buy a printer Canon Pro 100 for a good price, but I was wondering how a printer it is.  People have good success with soft-proof-to-print quality?

I'm better off to just use the icc profile of a laboratory for their printer/paper and send it to them for printing?

Thank you!

I had my Canon Pixma Pro-100 now for a few years. What is a print quality, I think it is excellent. Note that it is an ink system die. Some people warn that the prints will not last as long. Pigments based systems reportedly produce impressions of longer duration. Personally, I don't mind it because I don't print that much. I had prints now posted on my wall for a couple of years and have seen no noticeable change in them.

The other concern is whether or not you think you are going to print your own in order to save money. Many people refill their cartridges, which significantly reduces the cost of printing. I don't post enough to worry about the cost of ink, so I continued using OEM cartridges. It's really much cheaper to have your prints made by a reputable lab, even if you print a lot.

Thus comes down to whether or not you really want to print, and what you want to accomplish. If you want just the experience to complete the process of a House, the Canon Pixma Pro-100 is a very good printer in my opinion. I used a number of different papers of the Red River. They provide profiles for all their papers and impressions fit very well. I have no problem with the printer.

  • I just bought a Canon Pro 100 printer.

    Installation went well.  I have PC with Win 7 using CS6.  I calibrate my screen with Spyder 3 monkey.  I can take my files on a printer in the Seattle area, and my impression is my file 99% of the time (night sky images have to be a little more fitted).  I use Canon paper.  My impressions are fate a little dark, or not quite as bright as what's on the monitor.  I understand that there may be only an exact match, but I expected better.  I'm not a type of actual technique, but with good instructions, I can do the job.  Y at - it something more, I need to do, or can do, to get a closer match to my monitor?  I really don't want to go through a large number of calibrations customized with profiles customized if I can avoid it.

    I print all right cs6 (I have LR4, but do not use it a lot).  Choose the right paper; using CS6 for management of color (with monitor in CS6 profile).

    Hello. D50 is the color temperature and the other number is the brightness of the screen. You have a photo club in your city? Perhaps you could contact them. In the meantime, try to adjust your monitor brightness and contrast to 50 percent and see if that gives more pleasant results.

  • PIXMA Pro 100, printing setup error

    I am new to printing, I just got my Pixma Pro and so far have had terrible results.  1/10 times I get beautiful prints, the rest are terrible, faded, and as they have a gray film on them.  I think that its either a management or color paper management problem. I try to use 8.5 "x 11"Canon Pixma Photo"with finishing mate.  I print with Photoshop. I have the same problem if I click on Photoshop color handle or manage color printers, but prints nice 1/10 has been made manually setting the document to "glossy" under the menu print settings in Photoshop CS6 instead by selecting Matte is the obvious choice.

    When I chose Photoshop treats color management I get prints of same gray no matter what printer profile I select. Although it seems more logical to choose matte Canon Pro - 100 3 paper photo because it's what I use, once again nice 1/10 prints have been achieved selection Pro 3 Platinum photo paper.

    I don't understand how it works.  The picture I am trying to print is here, green and nice blue. http://www.Flickr.com/photos/27816471@N06/9076033417/in/set-72157634198994950 it seems gray and washed out when I print, sort of like the printer is 1/2 more ink, but he says is not.  Black and gray are good.

    What should I do?  I know its operator error, but I can not re - introduce one of the environment to get decent prints of this, so I'm considering junking or return. really disappointed.

    He is a. (at least on the matte premium.) was a packet of information about 3 x 4 in plastic sleeve, in that the paper is conditioning?

    Should be slightly whiter and not quite as calm as the side back side printing. Very subtle.

  • Canon Pixma Pro - 100 prints very dark

    I see that it is a recuring with the Canon Pixma Pro-100 problem, but nothing, I found an online help I ask and hope someone can solve this problem for me.

    Just picked up a Pixma Pro-100 today and installed on my iMac 27 "(Yosemite) 2011 with the latest drivers downloaded from Canon to be sure to have the website." I also checked the printer firmware but it's later to 1,100. Weather, I'm printing through Lightroom or Photoshop; by Canon Print Studio Pro, my garden image, or by LR / PS directly; with - or without PS as a manager of color; the prints is proving to be much to dark.

    I have to set an exposure of 2/3 in LR to be anywhere nearby to get the same result as on the screen. I am also careful to select the right ICC for correct paper profiles. My monitor is calibrated with a Spyder4pro and I also re-calibrated her during this process to see if that helped.

    Well. Long story short; the prints are dark. So I borrowed 2013 Spyder4pro MacBook Pro (Yosemite my wife) and installed the latest drivers from Canon. Once again; on this machine, the impressions are also to dark with about + 2/3 in order to correct the impression of something that looks like the monitor. The two screens can also be programmed to 30% brightness.

    I also have access to an Epson Stylus Photo R3000 and the prints of that much brighter spell.

    Unfortunately, I see that many others also have the same problem. Then; Here's the question. How can I fix it? Do I have to return the printer and get a refund? Because it's clearly not good enough.

    Thank you very much for your answers. But unfortunately, I have "been there, done that" on all of your advice.

    I go back on Monday to the printer and replace it with an equal Epson printer as I have only good experiences with this brand and the prints I get without using overtime to tinker with settings.

    It was my first (and last) Canon printer.

  • Color Management Confusion - Canon PRO 1000 printer

    Users of Photoshop CC out there working with PRO-1000 printer from Canon?

    Obviously, I should have a handle on my colors, but despite the download management workflow and by applying the right profiles of icc for the documents, have a calibrated EIZO monitor, the colors are downright bad and inconsistent at best.

    The dilemma:

    In my printer set up, I have a color management options) let the printer manage colors, or b) let Photoshop manage colors.

    The big problem I have with the PS, it is that if I let Photoshop manage colors (what I want), I get a warning that says "Please use Adobe Color Printer Utility If you need to print with no color management.

    printer setup.jpg

    There are already 2 problems with this:

    1. I DON'T want to print with color management

    2. the utility of Adobe Color printer not only is not manage the colors, it is apparently not yet supported by Photoshop CC, that was told to me through some Adobe support chat. The utility itself seems pretty useless.

    The question becomes HOW am I supposed TO MANAGE COLOR using the CANON PRO 1000 with ADOBE CC?

    With an exhibition that I'm supposed to be set up in less than a week and no Adobe or Canon support site, I passed the point of despair and entry in full-on panic. Someone please help! Thank you.

    In fact, there is no much to experiment. If Canon profiles are good, and there is no reason to think that they are not, there is only one way to do it:

    • The document in a standard color space
    • Photoshop manages color (if ensure that color management turned off the coast in the printer driver, you don't want the color management double)
    • Choose the right profile for your paper in the PS print dialog box
    • Also choose the type of media in the printer driver to set the total amount of ink

    The printer driver is that you get to when you click on 'Properties' in the dialog box print in Photoshop.

    There's a review here, separated what corresponds to your objectives of calibration of monitor the density of white ink and paper max (this is to monitor the white and black points). If you get prints that are too dark, your screen is too bright. Not the other way around.

  • Why can't my Canon Pro - 100 Lightroom/Photoshop plug-in?

    When I try to install my Canon Pixma Pro - 100 plug-ins in Lightroom and Photoshop (via my creative photography subscription Cloud), the plugin install said software that these versions of Lightroom and Photoshop do not load the plug-in.

    This is not sensible.  I used the Canon Pixma Pro - 100 plug-in on the two Adobe programs until recently when I've upgraded to a new PC. I downloaded and installed the latest version of the printer software and firmware.

    How can I solve this problem? Any ideas?

    Thank you!

  • Problems to install the driver for Canon lasershot 2900B printer, to get the message "installing the driver interrupted."

    I have problems to install the driver for Canon lasershot 2900 B printer. I have windows 7 64-bit (SP1) installed in my PC. I get the message "driver installation interrupted. I had downloaded and installed the latest driver and I get the same result. I was told it might be a problem with OS. I have had no problems to install the drivers for the scanner or hardware drivers. Thanks in advance.

    Original title: printer drivers

    Thanks for the reply of Ravi Shankar. My PC is a Dell Inspiron 530. There is no specific error message except for the one I provided. There is a solution to this problem. It seems that if the print spooler is disabled (services and storage via the computer management), the installation of printer driver is interrupted. I manually activated the spooler on automatic printing and the printer driver has been installed immediately.

  • Why my PRO - 100 black-and-white prints have a color tint?

    I print out on the printer PIXMA Pro-100 and sometimes, for no apparent reason (?), my black and white prints have a color tint (generally a "reddish brown"), then when printing to new... same settings print, same... the same impression will be fine, neutral with no tint at all.

    No idea why?

    Also (perhaps related?) I do not understand why Photo-Cyan and Magenta cartridges are exhausted when I'm NOT print color, but only black and white.  Am I missing something?  When you set up for printing, I always make sure that the 'Black and white photography' feature is selected in settings dialog "Quick Installation".  This ensures not only the black and gray inks are used as long as I'm not "toning"?  In other words... ONLY black and gray inks are used, if not the impression that is supposed to be a black and white printing neutral? Yet once... I missed something?

    FOR INFO:

    I print on Canon Pro radiance papers and more glossy.

    Under 'Options - color management', I selected:

    (color management) Photoshop Elements handles colors

    (image area) Adobe RGB (1998)

    (the printer profile) Canon PRO-100 1/2 Luster Photo Paper Pro

    (rendering mode) Perceptual

    The most important thing is the paper you choose to print on.  Find this first release. Any Epson printer which uses UltraChrome K3 inks will do a better job with B & W as a Pro-(anything).  But Epson suffers from obstruction more far do, Canon Pro-100 problems.

    If you print a lot is not too big of a problem, but if you print once a week or once a month to forget it.  Go with Canon that clogged very rarely, if ever.

    Try to find the right paper.  It will make everything better.  Call the Red River or Canson and ask them to recommend a book.  Red River will work with you and they know the Pro - 100 inside and outside.

  • CASTING MAGENTA ON B & W PRINTS (PRO-100)

    I thought I had my Pro-100 raised in another post all but resolved. But alas even after the use of Print Studio Pro, I still find a slight magenta cast in the real sense. I don't know what to do about it. I have attached a screenshot of the PSP settings. Any suggestions?

    ED

    Just got off the phone with Canon. A single line take away... There is nothing you can do.

    I was told my setting are all correct.  The magenta cast is due to ink in dye based and it is more pronounced the most brilliant paper. According to the representative of the printer, color casting should be better with semigloss brighter and better with than semi-gloss shine and even better with Matt as vividly.

    Otherwise, there is nothing I can do. Well. I guess I'll run an Epson 3800/Canon PRO-100 comparison on Moab Entrada Matte I have here.

    FOLLOWED - I ran a comparison using the Artic Red River polar (glossy for Canon printers) Satin and luster for Epson printers. No cast. The two look alike. SUCCESS!  It is the documents.

  • Pro-100: some colors do not match monitor; some do it

    New to the forum but have reviewed all issues that I can see for 2014 and do not see an answer. I use Photoshop Lightroom and CS6 and the Pro-100 printer. The monitor is a NEC P221W, calibrated using SpectraSensor Pro. Printing with ink Canon CLI-42 on Canon Photo Paper Plus Glossy II. I installed the latest XPS printer driver and am sure that I am using the printer with the correct driver. Here's the problem: I can not bright blue and green print with the same level of intensity that I see on the screen. As a test, I printed a few more pictures which consist mainly of portraits and the overall color and skin tones are superb. Only my quick effort to print a picture composed of green leaves and blue flowers with the saturated color flowers popping paper doesn't seem to work.

    You are going to need more to saturate the colors you want to surpass the rest of the colors in the photo.

    Over the years, I discovered a few things that seem imposswible whrn impression.  This was true in my darkroom, but also digital printing.

    One, it is impossible to get all the colors to match to a monitor.  You can get several to match but not all of them.

    Two, the most important adjustments to your monitor's gray, contrast and brightness.

    Three, Canon professional photo printers have a tendacy to bias reddish (warm tones).  It is built in.  This will make more saturated Greens harder.

    Remember you looking at and comparing the light on a screen ink pigmented on paper.
