I Finally Got a Photo Printer: Canon imagePROGRAF Pro-1000

[@RobertKarlBerta]

I am 76 years old so have been in the photo business for a "few years". I did a lot of 2 1/4" square and 4"x5" black and white and color photography but finally switched over to mostly digital about 18 years ago. I had a few of the Epson printers like the 3800, 3380, etc. but found them to be more likely to clog and spit ink even with frequent use. I decided to switch to the Canon Pro 1000 about 1 1/2 years ago. It is a superior printer with some serious engineering in it. It does require doing some tricks to save ink and ensure consistent work. Ignore the people who say a 1000 uses a lot of ink. When it is new it draws ink from the cartridges into the feeder tubes so once they are filled the cartridges will be about 50% used.... but that doesn't mean all that ink is dumped into the dump tank. Also.... the next cartridges will not need to fill the tubes again so will show a more realistic amount of ink left. If you turn off the machine each day it will go through a full purge, etc. cycle the next day and waste ink. There is an option in the setup to NOT auto shut off after so many hours of non-use. I also got a small Uninterruptable power supply that ran about $100 that I plug the printer into. It won't handle the print operation itself although haven't tested that.... it is solely to keep the power on in the event of a power failure. To keep the heads perfectly clean and unclogged I print a very small print every day. To ensure this when away for a few days I use QImage which has a utility to auto print a test print once a day. The QImage print can be reduced to to half of a 4"x5" print and uses a tiny amount of ink through all the nozzles. I also MUCH prefer to print using QImage which seems to yield better prints than through Photo Shop directly although Qimage can be run from within PS or externally. I am also an astrophotographer so print a lot of 16"x20" prints. That Pro 1000 yields prints that are spectacular. Most of my work from photowork but the printer is terrific with art reproduction. I love that I can switch from glossy or semi gloss to fine art paper and never have traces of the photo black polluting the matt black ink parts. That was a major issue with my Epsons. Recommendation...... make sure you get the latest Firmware update so you can have access to new features such as the maximum pano width now which is around 44" as I recall. I am not sure but it seems the latest firmware also improved the ink handling so wastes less than before. If you want to get all the ink out of your cartridges I recommend getting a digital weight scale.... mine was only around $25 and very accurate. You can remove and replace any cartridge so what I do i after the low ink warning comes on.....remove the tank and weigh it. I replace when it gets down to 45 grams. If it is above that you just put it back in the machine and it will show you the remaining ink left and not reset to a high number.

[@lr8621]

That seems to be a whole lot of work for a printer.

[@RobertKarlBerta]

@@lr8621 Not if you want to save money and not waste lots of $$$ ink.

[@35matinee]

It takes me 3 tries to get a good 4 x6 print on my home computer. I can't imaging handing off a 16 x 20 print to someone I can't supervise. What's the answer?

[@20111111jorg]

Same age here & got into digital since the very beginning. I still have my Canon Pro 9000 but hardly ever use if. Finally the print head clogged to a point where I don't think I can unclog it. I admire your dedication and hope you enjoy it as looking up an Ink set they run around $350 to $400! I'm thinking of getting back into printing but will either use my Epson eco tank which makes prints about 90% as good for one tenth the cost, ( & I use it daily anyway) or using an online service. The cost might be a little more, but to amortize the cost of a printer & inks may take years depending on how much you print. For most amateurs I doubt it will be worth it.

[@JohnJohn-fz6nt]

Mr. Berta, anyone who has tangled with an inkjet...knows. I love your "insider knowledge" post and will save it should I ever get this printer.

[@Necroblob]

You've kept my absolute attention for 15 minutes on printing. You're a genius and I love the passion. Thank you.

[@jerrywinter3103]

Right, I enjoyed it also

[@mattdayphoto]

I’ve been using this printer for a little over a year now and have been super happy with it. I’m sure you’ll make great use of it!

[@nicksmith1234]

Pro tip: roll your graphics so the print is on the outside of the roll. This allows the curl to go towards the wall or mounting surface for better adhesion rather than pulling away from it.

[@GrymmsPlace]

The one thing we can all be certain of, when Nick does a review, he is thorough, a perfectionist, and his endorsements are pretty much on point. A photographer friend of mine has this Canon printer. It's used for almost exclusively B&W and are astoundingly good.

[@markthompsonmedia]

Printing your own work is insane isn't it :) I love it. I started with the PRO2000 and now with the PRO4100. I think the thing I like most is when you sell locally and go to the persons house to hang it and chat with them about the passion behind the photo for a moment. That is such a good feeling

[@effar]

You do the matting, framing and hanging too? That sounds stressful!

[@markthompsonmedia]

@@effarI find it completes the photography experience. So I definitely shoot, print, mount and frame.

[@effar]

⁠@@markthompsonmediaI can understand that, pretty cool

[@earlspiece9403]

Great presentation!!! Accurately portrayed what it takes to professional take on printing your own works and maintaining quality control of your products. Its a total investment of money, time, patience, pride and a huge attention to detail to get it right!!!

[@dominey]

I've gone down the same rabbit hole. One thing I'd recommend experimenting with is sharpening, for I often see better results when applying more sharpening than what normally looks good on screen. You have to overdo it a bit because the printer is working with ink and paper, so some of that clarity and sharpness will be lost in the process. An effective tool I've found is the Smart Sharpen filter in PS, for you can save presets with different sharpening settings and re-use them later. Recommend giving that a try with your test prints if you haven't already!

[@peoplez129]

You don't even need to do that at all. What you really need to do is simply resize the image to match the actual resolution needed at the DPI/size you're printing at. For example, for a 4x6 print, you would resize an image to 1800x1200 before sending it off to the printer. When resizing in photoshop, you would use "bicubic sharper" resample setting. From there you shouldn't need to do any kind of extra sharpening unless the image was extremely soft to begin with. Images are tack sharp when done this way. Never let a printer resize an image for you, always prepare an image with the exact dimensions that will be printed.

[@1980NikonF3]

Great video, Nick! I've been using this printer for just over three years now and couldn't be more pleased with the output quality and reliability. It does like to print every day, so dividing out your orders throughout the week as you mentioned is a good idea. On the days you don't have a job, just print out a test pattern to keep things moving without initiating additional cleaning cycles. The Media Configuration Tool is fantastic for setting up third party papers to perform their best. Keeping the paper as flat as possible through the machine will really help to prevent nasty head strikes. For those long panos, I use a section of 3" core tube with some kraft paper to reverse roll heavier media (such as RedRiver's PaloDuro Etching) for an hour or so prior to printing. Supporting these longer sheets both on the feed side and at the exit is also very important. When not printing, keep the unit covered to minimize dust and dirt infiltration and periodically check the paper path for any bits of paper debris that has a tendency to collect over time. Like you pointed out, the printing process is very addictive and the PRO-1000 will definitely feed that addiction with results that will keep you hanging on the edge of your seat waiting for that next spectacular print! Look forward to seeing additional videos showing how you bring more of your wonderful images to life with your new Canon printer.

[@timothy790110]

8:26 don't forget to let the print dry for at least 24 hours before you roll it! This is very important!

[@leonarddaneman810]

I'd give it a week to be safe. If the print is framed and continues to outgas, it will eventually destroy the lite in the frame. Also, is that 'Kraft' paper acid-free?

[@billymilligan1369]

This video is right up my alley! I am the proud owner of an Epson SC-P900 and I feel exactly the same when I print one of my own favorite images. Best wishes for your continued success! ... and thanks for the video.

GJ someone who finally gets it that printing feeling you get when you go from photo taking to the final product, you did it all, it's your baby.

[@analog_astronaut]

I absolutely love my Pro 1000 - Having the ability to print high quality prints at decently large sizes is a power that every photographer should have at their fingerprints.

[@CWJester]

I've been doing photography as a hobby for a few years now but really starting to get serious with it. All I have now is a 4x6 printer from Canon and have learned a lot about my compositions as well as other aspects you mentioned through printing. It's a good teacher. I hope to one day get a large printer like that if I do make a business out of it.

[@synaptophysin]

To save on paper & ink when working on a satisfactory print in a shadow or highlight area, I select just that area in Photoshop's printing Print Selected Area. Then I can print several variations on the same sheet of paper by selecting adjacent areas using the Position in the printing panel. This way multiple tests can be on one sheet of paper with room for notes on printer and Photoshop settings.

[@davekorbiger]

What a way to start the weekend and it’s time to place an order for some art! :D

[@Wig3967]

Been using this printer for several years. Was wandering when you was going to take the step. Can't go wrong with this printer. Have fun.

[@therickman34]

Welcome to the world of printing yourself! One bit of advice... try not to judge a print as soon as it comes out of the printer. You need to give it some time to allow the inks to really soak into the paper and dry. You'll notice differences, especially in the shadows, between a fresh print and one that you came back to an hour later. Also, to keep costs down, I've found Precision Colors refillable inks are identical to Canon's. They have ink for the ImageProGraf 1000 and it'll work out to literally pennies on the dollar compared to Canon ink cartidges.

[@extremelydave]

When they make this printer in a Ecotank format, THEN I might sell a body part to get one.......

[@LarryManiccia]

I agree with letting the print sit at least a few hours prior to review. I usually print and then just review the next morning. Once the ink is fully dry the print does look slightly different than when it came out of the printer. Typically looks lighter especially in the shadows.

[@timothy790110]

​@@LarryManicciathey recommend 24 hours for the ink to cure completely. I would absolutely not ship them or roll them or do anything to them before then. Not even crop them, as I've found that smaller images tend to curl easier from drying than larger ones.

[@bobsykes]

It is really nice to know that a home sized printer can output work that meets your standards. I mean, camera sensors are so good today, Lightroom Classic, Capture One Pro, Phocus, are so good today, a printer, inks, and papers this good seem to complete the cycle for what we can do ourselves. Visual arts are unique in that they are usually a single person's work, in contrast to most other arts that benefit from collaboration, so this makes so much sense to me.

[@ObsidianMirage]

Nick geeking out over learning new things is why I love this channel

[@lhygema]

Great video and I am excited you are printing your own stuff now. I can't wait for all of the color management rabbit holes we are going to dive into in future videos! You may want to look into a D-Roller. It will save you the unwanted accidental creases in your papers when reverse rolling to remove curl. They are not cheap but are quite effective and will save money lost damaging paper. ItSupplies has about the best price but you can find it a lot of different places.

[@LukeHealy]

Your sense of humour is absolutly brilliant! Love watching your vids.

[@AllgoodthingsTv]

Nice video! I've been wanting to get back into printing. I used to print back in OS 9 using Colorsync, which actually worked pretty well with certain printers.

[@AdrianIII]

Congrats! Be sure to print something EVERY day... even if it is only a nozzle check. This will help the printer avoid excessive "cleaning cycles" which dump much expensive ink into the maintenance tank.

[@SamMcGhee]

I've left my Canon printer of a similar model out in the garage for a couple years, assuming I wouldn't print in house anymore... but after this video, It's been dusted off, and placed back on my desk. I'm also ordering that pen. What a great look into a great process.

[@PrintAdventures]

I bought a pro-4100 earlier this year and it's just so fun to see prints so quickly and so big. Such a fun investment.

[@photobobo]

Nick, it is refreshing to see that I am not the only one who wears gloves when handling prints. I have been running a Canon printer for 10+ years with never a clogged print head and none of those costly head cleaning cycles even though I print infrequently. I connected a cheap Windows 10 mico-computer running QImage. It prints a half page test print every other day. This tells the printer not to run the wasteful purging routine and cost very little in ink. I use cheap copier paper for this and reuse the same stack of paper over and over.

[@scotterskine4745]

Well done, Nick. Always enjoy watching your videos. I've been using the pro1000 since 2016, and using Canon's printing utilities rather than printing from Lightroom. Lately been printing on Canson papers with their ICC profiles. I don't keep a big supply of inks on hand, just order a replacement as soon as I get the alert (!) when printing. Usually can go for several more days before actually running out. B&H or Amazon can typically deliver next day. As for feeding the curled paper into the printer, after letting it sit flat overnight, I hang the paper over a towel bar mounted on the wall behind the printer, and then feed it into the printer, as I'm pretty limited on space. But I still hover over the printer making sure it goes through the printer smoothly.

[@CJonesFL]

This was great. Kept my attention throughout the while video. Got a Canon Pro 300 arriving today. Can't wait to fanboy over it like you did with your 1000!

[@Rezaroth]

I started this hobby like 5 years ago. My photography got way better. The way I see things to photograph became more critical. I broke two printers now but still, I'm addicted and currently saving for my third one. I recommend reading books about printing.

[@scbeer1]

I bought the canon -Pro 300 last year. Printing has re energized my passion for photography. ICC profiles, paper types, having a physical photograph to hang on a wall or my cube at work has been missing since I got into photography in the early 1980’s.

I started doing my own prints about 5 years ago on an Epson P800 with the roll adapter. Incredibly liberating as well satisfying, especially black and white prints. My favorite paper is Canson Plantine Fiber Rag. Hope to upgrade to a 24 inch printer in the not too distant future.

[@freedompanda9438]

I’ve researched incessantly this last year, and finally came to realize that for my needs, this delivered the highest quality for the buck. It’s not chump change, but it is what it is. 🤷🏽‍♂️ It was good to catch this video. Nick Took a different approach than most who have reviewed the 1000, and that’s a welcome thing. Definitely reinforced my decision. Thanks for the quality look into not only the details, but the actual DETAIL this printer is capable of. And you’re corny. As usual. Don’t go changin.’ ~ Rawhide

[@richardlow7962]

Thanks. Was a great watch !

[@alexaitkenpost]

I have this printer too and I love it! Sometimes I do select the 'black point compensation' box in PS (when using photo rag) and it helps it become closer to what I imagined without going in and making adjustments to the image. It's probably taboo but it works for me (on some prints). However, I didn't use the printer for a few months and wasted $$$ when it flushed so much ink out. A savvy business move indeed..

[@paullecomtenz]

Love this video thanks Nick. I've had this printer for 4 years now & am still amazed to this day what comes out of the beast. I've done the upgrade to the firmware but never had the guts to go big with a roll print - this has been the impetus for me to go for it.

Yes frequent use a must with these printers. Years ago I had a 13 inch roll inket in which I got some nice 12x36 inch panos that are on the wall today. However the jets did dry up. Oh well, probably would have been cheaper just to outsource it but did save money putting my frames, matts and glass together.

[@hxhdfjifzirstc894]

So they don't have some kind of 'storage' cycle that you can run? I would think they could make special ink cartridges that are filled with cleaner, or something... swap them out, and print a special image to clean the jets.

[@schadlarry]

Back then you could run a clean cycle but it goes through a ton of ink. Tried that several times and never worked. You can't let these thinks sit for long. I heard if you priced the ink by the gallon it would be over $1000. @@hxhdfjifzirstc894

[@peoplez129]

There's no point in doing test prints, because exposure and editing will be different on all photo's, which means you'd have to dial in each print. There's no formula that works for all prints, because all photos are different in the time of day taken, mood expressed, etc. All a person really needs to keep in mind is that shadows will need to be raised a little, and highlights will need to be lowered a little, with maybe a bit of contrast added to give it punch. A better way to edit would be to go by RGB min-max values. For example, highlights can be blown a bit more in print than they are on screen, while at the same time shadows are darker than on screen. So you find the safe zone for highlights and shadows so they don't clip, then adjust the dynamic range based on that. It's also extremely important to scale your print to actual dimensions you'll be printing at, and sharpening it at the actual DPI dimensions it will print at, and printing in the highest quality format you can, like TIFF instead of JPG. So if you're at 300dpi and you want to print an 8x10, the image should be scaled to 2400x3000 before sending it off to the printer. Never let a printer scale it itself, they always use the cheaper blurrier method of downscaling, which ruins sharpness and detail.

[@kirtisozgur]

Well commiserations. I have just bought another one after 5 years of service. They are a blessing and a curse . The blessing is seeing your work instantly in print after negotiating the various pitfalls printer profiles,paper sizing, magenta hues etc.. But the cost ? This is not for the beginner. Ink is consumed by the half pint after 60 hours on its maintenance cycle . I spend about £1000 a year on ink !
