![]() ![]() Our Custom ICC Printer Profile testing indicates on our Canon Pro-2000 12-Pigment Ink Printer Shadow Detail down to a Black Point of 4-6, and Highlight detail up to a White Point of 252-253, when using a Perceptual Rendering Intent, Impressive for a Watercolor Matte paper.Before anyone flames me, this is cross posted to both the Post-processing&Printing Forum and the Nikon Forum (where I hang out). I am thinking of buying a Canon Pixma Pro 10 (not Pro 100) printer soon. Most of my "print worthy" shots are from the D810. I have a backlog of about 70 photos I want to print large. After that is cleared, I should average 2-3 large (11x14 or 13x19) prints a month. One of the "cons" I can think of for this printer is that it was introduced 5 years ago. However, I like its price point (around U$430), larger ink tank (compared to the Pro 100), pigment ink, 10 ink palette, Canon's reputation of non-clogging (compared to Epson), and Canon inks are cheaper vs Epson (to me in Canada).įound a negative. (I confirmed with an owner.) The Canon Pixma Pro 100, 10 and 1 all won't print borderless on Fine Art paper. Worse, it actually imposes a 1 inch top and bottom margin on the three sizes of Fine Art paper it allows. ![]() If you select Regular Photo paper to bypass this limitation, the printer won't be using the right black ink for Fine Art (usually matte) paper.) (Apparently, if you use Fine Art paper, you have to select that in the print driver. Using/setting the printer by the straight-and-narrow, the Canon will enforce large margins on fine art papers if you specify that as the paper profile* in the printer driver. Because the PRO-1/10/100 do not feature a vacuum platen, this is a typically Canon-conservative approach to reduce the possibility of head strikes that result from the paper curl manifested in some fine art papers. * - This is a different thing from the printer/ink/paper ICC profile the paper profile tells the printer how to handle the media in terms of paper thickness, vacuum power (if available), how much ink, what kinds of ink, etc. #Photo rag baryta hahnemuhle canon pixam pro10cmedia type how to Of course, there are workarounds, as you can gather in that thread. Paper suppliers that supply PRO-10 ICCs often ask you to set the paper profile/type as "Premium Matte" so you don't have to incur the super-conservative margins.ĭisclaimer: *I* don't print on fine art media with my PRO-10, as I have another (larger) printer for that. I also use my PRO-10 with Precision Colors (read: aftermarket) inks. The cost of fine art media will easily exceed even OEM ink costs, esp. on wider formats (read: bigger tanks = cheaper ink by volume). Therefore fine art paper only gets OEM ink in my usage (putting cheap ink on expensive paper seems penny-wise, pound-foolish). which again is to say that I don't print on fine art paper on *my* aftermarket-ink equipped PRO-10. My (potentially-biased) opinion of the PRO-10 is that it is a good entry-level fine-art-capable photo printer. You noted that it's 5-years old, perhaps insinuating that it doesn't incorporate the newest-and-greatest technologies and most-recent developments. The flip-side of that is that it's a well-known quantity, whose quirks and peccadilloes have been well-explored and documented. None of which have led to negative judgment of its overall worth (see the opposite for the Epson Stylus Pro x900 printers). #Photo rag baryta hahnemuhle canon pixam pro10cmedia type pro Being that reselling a printer is considerably more difficult than reselling most other photography equipment, playing the bleeding edge should really be reserved for more-experienced print-makers. Therefore the PRO-10 is a good choice for getting into printing. #Photo rag baryta hahnemuhle canon pixam pro10cmedia type pro.#Photo rag baryta hahnemuhle canon pixam pro10cmedia type how to. ![]()
