Canon PIXMA Pro 10 REVIEW

froknowsphoto.com/canon-pixma-... Click Here for the FULL Written Review.
I will NEVER OWN an Inkjet Printer, at least that is what I thought. I have been very outspoken for years about printing at home and how it could not match a "real" print. Well, the time has come and my eyes have been opened by the Canon Pixma Pro 10 inkjet printer.
When Canon asked me if I would like to review the Pixma Pro 10 I said sure as long as you send me enough ink and paper for me to properly run some real world tests. I was always under the impression that the ink was way to expensive and in combination with purchasing paper I should just order prints online. No its not all roses and butterflies for inkjet printers but I will break it down for you in this full in-depth review.
First things first lets take a look at the costs involved with owning this inkjet printer. The printer itself will run you $700 at most retailers including Allens Camera. You have to ask yourself how many prints could I make for $700 at a lab? Other costs involved include the ink which runs $14.99 ea and you will need 10 cartridges to keep this bad boy up and running. (the printer comes with a full set up ink right out of the box)
You also have to take into consideration what inkjet paper you are going to purchase along with what size. There are a lot of companies that makes inkjet paper but for this review I used just the Canon Pro Luster 13x19 inch. The Pixma Pro 10 can print paper up to 13x19 inches full bleed. That means it will use the entire paper surface and not leave a white border. Since I do not crop my work I only printed 12x18 sized images on the 13x19 sheet of paper.

*The **Bestt.Digital** portable Printer Is just my style. Bought it as a gift for myself and glad I did. Lightweight and very portable. Just what I needed to take with me on my trip this summer.*

[@froknowsphoto]

I am not sure if I mentioned the Black and Whites from this printer but they are FANTASTIC!!!! The PRINTS from the PIXMA are so much better then anything coming from the lab. The Blacks POP so much and I am in LOVE with them.

[@carlaleal636]

This was the best and most honest review i've ever saw :) Congratulations on this ! seriously , great video!

[@ksbhatia87]

been waiting for this review for a while, and i'm so glad to see that it was well worth the wait. we can tell you put a lot of time and effort into this review and this video. thanks a ton jared. you have me sold on the printer...i just don't have $700 laying around :)

[@edwardsrubyg]

It's great you can see the prints. It would be great if the viewer could see the prints too?!? As is, it looks like you've only done these print tests for yourselves not the viewers?!?

[@davidharmon8663]

If i can pick up this printer for 100 bucks after rebate should I?

[@sasatrifunovski]

I just LOVE the new multiple angle revording :) adding some dimension ;) Massive respect for trying to develop your videos as well as your photographic skills! you rock!

[@idro2k]

Daym J! These videos look gorgeous now, I'm loving the new lighting/edit. Great review too!

[@eddybreezy]

Jared, every time I watch one of your videos, I learn something. I wish my professors were like you lol

[@gordonbrown8450]

Why does Vader sound like Homer Simpson?

[@666Maeglin]

yeah was not a big fan of that.. skipped forward

[@MichaelMa]

Because Fro is an old man and the new young people have never seen Spaceballs.

[@gysENT]

i love the new videos your putting out they are great! oh and love the bloopers at the end!!

[@franklopez95]

Jared - thanks for the great in depth review of this printer. I am a HUGE fan of the style/direction you are headed. This is a great quality production, Audio and Video. Keep it up - Other KZbin Photo guys take note. . Jared is blowing ya out of the water!!

[@BigManko]

The new design with the cameras is super! I love the trafficlights!

[@barryccollyer2429]

The PRo 10 has a common error for the rear slot that prevents the printer from working. Canon has ignored this problem and it is expensive to repair. These great reviews are from people that used it for a few days. The users that have had the printer for a few months and longer know that the printer is one that should not be recommended/purchased.

[@otepfi]

I love the review and the new quality of your videos.

[@jefferymckeown2803]

I picked up this beauty for $320 unopened box on CL including 50 sheets of 13x19 paper. I couldn't not buy it. The wireless was super easy, you just need to tell it your network key but it does have to be on USB for the initial setup. It does tell you that. Truly fantastic results and I think this steps up my game as far as control of my work and turn around time delivering to my clients. It's probably a bit much for where I am in my business starting up but that price made it an no-brainer. Thanks for the review. Made me very comfortable to purchase as I have never liked ink jet for printing either.

[@JaylenFast]

Yeah thats a great price. I bought a unopened Pro-10 for $450. For canada I think thats a great price. Plus the fact that it comes with a full tank of ink thought it was a steal...but $320 dang thats cheap. Hopefully going to art school and selling prints will help justify the cost

[@HappyyThoughtt]

Jaylen Fast Would a Epson WorkForce Pro WF-4640 Color Inkjet All-in-One Printer be good for professional quality pictures? 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi

[@BigAntTVMedia]

is it really 15 min at max setting too print 1 sheet

[@stotp2]

great in-depth review. well done Jared

[@WestCoastMods]

If Adorama doesn't print 13" X 19" and only 12" X 18" then how did you get them for the comparison?

[@pablo-zn1mg]

Canon pixama ?

[@jasonwiser4711]

Hi Jared. Thanks for the time that you put into creating your content. It seems as though you have a great crew, a nice studio, and a high morale work environment. As for the printing at home vs. a lab of sorts, I can't really make a fair comparison. But I do own the Epson Surecolor P800 inkjet printer, and it definitely has it's ups and downs. The bad is that the ink is so expensive for this machine that Epson should be ashamed of themselves. Depending on the media you are choosing to print on, it's usually expensive up to very expensive. It is a wider format printer though just to be fair to the printer. The good is that it's a wireless controlled printer, which is a function that I rarely use, but can be very convenient. Also, with this model I was able to purchase an accessory that allows me to print from a roll of media. The best part about the roll media is that it is such huge bang for your buck in comparison to purchasing pre-cut sheets. And the best part for sure, is that it's fun. It can be very expensive, but it's just very cool to watch your print being produced. I'm sure that labs do a wonderful job, but to me it just feels more of a complete product in which I created from start to finish. Sort of a sense of pride, and definitely a feeling of accomplishment. As for the expense of the ink, once the new excitement of having the machine and printing every singe photo has worn off, I have learned which type of media will require more ink and it has helped me learn to choose what I will print, or not print, in a more knowledgeable manner. I have been interested in the Canon Pro 100 printer, so if one of those ends up by your door. Please give it a review, then forward it on to my house. Ya, that would be cool. Thanks Jared!

[@zcout86]

love this review! I have beed watching your videos for a couple of years now and lately thought that there has been more goof and less valuable info, but now your back at the earlier videos with som heavy weight quality info! glad to have the "older fro" back! any chans for a Epson review?

[@Lorenzopphotography]

Fro-Vader sounds like Homer from the Simpsons 😂

[@MattEMaddock]

Thanks for adding that - it's B&W that I want one of these for. I've tried the Pro-100, they were good, but wasn't 100%. I'm interested to know if the black/grey pigment inks of the Pro-10 give better results with less colour cast.

[@nobodyknows5574]

Not sure if these old videos are being monitored for comments, but if I wanted to take an intermediate step and do 8X10's and under at home, is there a printer you would recommend?

[@dreamchaser320]

also, kudos to you jared. the quality of your videos are getting much much better!

[@dreamchaser320]

AWESOME! have been waiting for this!

[@ChristinaRedd]

I'm glad Fro Vader came in finally and done a real review.

[@Clint_the_Audio-Photo_Guy]

I got the Canon Pixma Pro-100 getting delivered tomorrow. Hopefully it does a good job. I got scared by all the clogged head stories on the larger format Epson's I was looking at and thought I'd start a bit less expensive and see how good the prints are.

[@NixonRexzile-xz4sq]

Hey Jared Polin, I know this is like after 3 years but I'm curious do you know if this printer accept thick paper as business thickness?

[@beerborn]

I have the Canon Pixma Pro 100. I gave up on Epson because it always keeps getting clogged print heads. I don't seem to get that on the Canon Pixma.

[@Randall-A-Yates]

Excellent. Just purchased mine and set it up, but I have yet to print. Excellent presentation!!!!!

[@kauxkaux]

This video is awesome, and the production level went up by ten times!!!

[@Razor2048]

Those color differences can be compensated for by doing some proofing , eg either by proofing to your screen, or having multiple lab printers, then proofing to them. I usually like gradient proofing, then saving the adjustment layers as a macro. It is a subtle change but you can make them pretty much exactly the same if you want.

[@cristinamercioniu5758]

I'm looking for a cost effective printer to make canvas portrait prints on the spot at weddings , A4 in size, would this model fit me? Any other suggestions?

[@GeraldMoncrief]

This is the second video of yours I watched about canon Printers. Really like your reviews with one difference. I am just a hobbyist but I still push prints because I think we should leave our children something more than your wall of pictures on FaceBook. I use mines to decorate my wall with my own pictures so it's more personal than having someone else's print.

[@n1na102]

Thank you for this review. At a risk of sounding completely stupid I need some advice. I'm thinking of buying this printer. I need to know if I can print things other than photos on it. I need to also be able to print CD labels, CD case covers, good quality leaflets, photos with a written description on the back to name a few. Can photo printers (especially this one) print things other than awesome photos without damaging it? I'm completely new to this style of printer

[@pvolkspvolks]

Hi Jared, I don't know where you get the energy to keep up with these videos but this style of shooting seems to be the most well rounded.

[@ConaMooreDesigns]

Can you make a video on the process you do to print an image, such as the changes you makes to an image before you print it?

[@diplod5000]

9 years later - Great video!

[@maxschremmer1334]

jared would you pick one up new for 50 with ink vs buying prints from online?

[@johnsciara9418]

Jared, I know this review is a few years old, but I just purchased a Pro 10. My question when reviewing the prints to compare them to the lab print, what would have happened if you used more than one lab to print? Would you see similar differences between lab "A" and lab "B"?

[@Sixteen0Four]

Also love the new multi-angle-thing going on. Feels more like a show now than a youtube video!

[@vnitto]

Glad to see Frovader made an appearance.

[@saltlifegull4091]

Awesome! Many years ago, so what do you suggest now in 2021?

[@albert8427]

im a photography student at Brooks Institute and i just started printing and there is no feeling of printing a picture and holding a physical image then just looking at it on the screen. definitely gonna invest in an inkjet printer when i graduate!

[@TheElvinAngel]

I have learned so much through watching your videos! Thank you. :)

[@MrMick560]

EXCELLENT ! VERY WELL DONE, I LIKE THE DETAILED INFO, THANKS, MICK.

[@juancarlosposada2218]

Hello Jared, what kind of paper did you use?? Thanks

[@drummer4christ81]

Canon Pro Luster 13x19 inch. It's in the description.

[@rayrichter7678]

Really friggin loving the camera changes and intro before the video change. Fro is moving up! FRONATION! (raises fist)

[@kinglukedurrant]

Love the in-depth review :) The difference with my iMac after colour calibration was a big noticeable difference from the standard colour setup on my iMac.. But in this case the file sent was the same so the test was spot on, nice review :)

[@DaddyEric222]

I wonder what the ink consumption is compared from regular and fine printing

[@AVdigitalPRODUCTIONZ]

Hi Jared, I am looking at Canon vs Epson for pro printing. Are you printing directly from lightroom or another software? Looking to set up a mobile studio at events. Great video, keep it coming. Sajeev from London. Thanks

[@andresmith1939]

Hey Jared Polin about how many 8/11 pics can I get before all the ink is out.....(I know I might have to replace the black but on average........?

[@JacobdelaRosa]

Kudos for your production and information value

[@billsimmons1753]

This printer is regularly available with a large rebate, so look for that if you want to buy it. As far as the video goes, I would have liked to hear more about the process Fro used to print with. He alluded to the plug-in for PS and LR that comes with it. Did he use it exclusively, vs printing from PS or LR without it? Would also like to know more about how differences in paper compared.

[@Gauntletbloggs]

I don't know what kind of ink is used in one of these printers but usually you need to shake the cartridge before installation. Is this not the case or did you just forget to do it in the video?

[@HCkev]

Would be interesting to have a comparison between Dye ink prints and pigment ink prints - Like a Pro 10 VS Pro 100 comparison. At the studio I work we have a Pixma Pro 9000 Mark II, which has been replaced by the Pro 100, which is similar to the Pro 10 but use dye inks instead of pigments. We're always wondering if we should have taken pigments instead of dye inks. That being said, we're not disappointed by the quality of the prints.

[@FigTreeCinemas]

Hey Jared, with your new apple router, have you tried connecting your printer to your computer via WiFi?

[@morbidblu]

Totally want that shirt!

[@knytestorme]

could the colour/saturation differences that were noticed be caused by the lack of colour calibration on your imac?

[@gregorysmith293]

If you can catch the "Canon week" at your local photo store, you can get one for $250 out the door, and then send in the $200 rebate.

[@yesmanhk]

3 years later, the price is $3xx after $150 rebate from canon canada. what you think? i dont need the print out for customers

[@connieandstewart]

great video even though I'm coming here 7 years later after it was made hahaha another thing to factor in is the type of paper being used not all lustre coated paper are the same in how they absorb the ink and that does take time, effort, and money to dial in what you're looking for, but worth it when you're taking your prints seriously.

[@OscarHernandez-js3pk]

Just started shopping for printers, didn't realize this video was 7 years lol

[@connieandstewart]

Oscar Hernandez hahahaha! Right?! We were a little worried about buyers remorse because the printer is so old - what if something new comes out?! I guess that’s the prograf 1000 but that’s nearly double the price even after rebates. I’m pretty happy with the pro10. It does the job well and really comes down to what papers you use as long as you don’t cut corners and keep using OE ink. I would say 8/10 satisfied with the pro 10. 1 star off because i do wish now that i could print at home 17x22 size prints and 1 more point off because even though the cartridges are pricier, 80ml ink tanks for each ink would be nice compared to 10ml tank capacity of the pro10 inks. So far I think we’ve printed well over 100x 4x6”, 30-40x 8.5x11”, 5-7 11x17”, and 12 13x19”. With those prints, If i can recall correctly, i believe we’ve replaced all the inks once and just about to replace 3-4 more inks for the second time (chroma optimizer coat goes the fastest and that is one of the 3-4 inks that we are looking to replace for the second time now).

[@mottaphotography]

Color calibration is super important if you are doing your own prints. Look into it. You don't want a photo that "kinda" looks different and you just so happen to like the saturation. This is your work and you want it at the top of its game. You want what you see on the screen to be accurate and have the confidence that that's what you are going to see on paper. It's not about "oh wow, I kinda like this look". Know what you are doing and do the best you can with the tools you have.

[@alexcorona]

Whats the life on these printers? like when do the ink become obsolete for them? and when do they become outdated in general. thank you for the review I'd love to have a home printing setup.

[@chuck540s]

just purchased one at a canon event. Thanks for the informative work forVader?!

[@rayrichter7678]

Really good idea. I always second guess myself with my size changes

[@hoareau1]

Hi i would like to know which paper do you use and how much does it cost because 'im really interessted in.And you don't say how much does a A3 paper cost with this printer. thx a lot for your review

[@johndileo7202]

are the comparisons valid since you did not calibrate your monitor?

[@JorgenSindyCortez]

can the printer do matte paper or just one kind>

[@EastyUK]

INK price $140 fook! Glad you addressed this early. these companies sell these at lost leaders it seems to tie you in on the ink sales for the next x years.

[@kyerionp]

Great review. I've gone back and forth about getting a printer, but can't justify the cost. I will definitely come back to this if things change in my future.

[@morbidblu]

Totally want that short

[@soloma1]

Great review Jared! I have a request I have a Canon IP8710 and I'm not getting the results I want when I print photos they look desaturated and really I am about to give up no that printer any help I will appreciate it! thank you and my best regards to you!

[@quintriggins6557]

Jared, it might be interesting to get the same photo from the same lab processed at different times to see if there is variation in the lab's own prints.

[@mohamedbaras1935]

How much it cost to print one of those images using that printer?

[@TejasR]

There is green and yellow light in the room going on and off and they are commenting picture colours?

[@AllanBarnett]

For wireless, use the wireless config utility from Canon. I had no real problem (one mistake on my side) setting up the wireless right out of the box.

[@paulwilliams6320]

I have the same setup you mention here. I've not been happy with the results and I'm sure it has to do with my settings. If you could expand on the settings and where I'd find them, that'd be great. My print d photos are not what I'm seeing on the screen.

[@andrewford80]

How'd you go with getting this set up? Did you calibrate your display?

[@SooksVI]

Ha, you almost sound like Homer Simpson in the Vader mask. Great review!

[@jtye1065]

Do a side by side with a Lab print that they have adjusted and see if they are still close.

[@jorgensindycortez1398]

damm and dammm you are good.everytime i need to learn something u have the right videos.. im a new photographer.. and thank you for taking time to do this it help me alot

[@ThatFCN]

How many photos do u think until ink runs out?

[@fotoposh1062]

To all who read this How much you sell these photos?

[@jaynodesign617]

Can you print with this printer on a canvas ?

[@AlmightyUniden]

Any panel whether it was calibrated or not shifts in color over time. Slightly every month so it's always a good idea to calibrate your monitor often if you do professional work.

[@ManuelOrbeaOtaola]

What paper was he using during the video?

[@ALTMED]

I wish I could meet you and shake hands with you man. you're awesome :D cheers from Saudi Arabia

[@MattisProbably]

Maybe you or someone who knows about this can help me out here. I would like to get a printer for Christmas. The one I have been looking at is the Canon PIXMA iX6850. It prints at a size that I like and for what I want to do with it the price is very reasonable. But here's the question, is it worth it?

[@Maloy7800]

What do you think he'd look like shaved and with his hair cut properly?

[@iannamico]

a poor person with no youtube revenue

[@kristoklar]

is it true, that it uses a lot of ink? more than other A3-printers?

[@liv2859]

could I print negatives with printer?

[@KPhotography1]

Jared usually Fine printing dose take more ink, as its dropping more ink threw the print heads, and it takes longer also because in speed printing the print head prints on bot going out and coming back in but in fine it only prints when it goes out. Hope you're having fun with your printer look into the Epson 3880 some thing I've used and its a beast of a machine.

[@SARA00151]

Thanks for the ads am hoping to get the pixma pro 1 within this fall for my photography career. Thanks so much

[@FoxRivers778]

That's a really cool table you used to display the prints for comparison. It looks expensive too. Where did you get that? Kudos to all the 2-year olds watching this video.

[@Kyle592]

I'd say another advantage with using an inkjet printer is that you have full creative control over the final product and can totally trust that no one else has influenced it.

[@SebastianRuzycki]

Have you tried canon pixma pro 1 ?

[@ArkansasMediaGroup]

We have the pro-100 at school and I really liked it so I ordered one for myself. I like picking exactly what paper I want to use instead of ordering it online and not having control of exactly what type is best.

[@drewnes64]

+Ethan's Variety Channel How easy is that to use? I am thinking about getting one myself and have been looking at that model!

[@ArkansasMediaGroup]

Very easy. The tutorials online make it seem much more longer. I just turned it on, installed the print head and cartridges and then it sets those up for like 5 minutes and then you're ready to print. I've done 22 prints so far and have about 80% ink left.

[@drewnes64]

+Ethan's Variety Channel awesome! Looks like I will be buying that printer soon then =). Thanks for the info!

[@trevorpinnocky]

It should not eat through an entire black cartridge for so few prints. I almost wonder if it was the wrong black for the paper type?

[@valdezapg]

stoplights are distracting. when i see them change i dont hear what you say
