Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 Desktop Inkjet Printer, Color

Solid performer with outstanding results.wgen you match this with the right quality paper the results are jaw dropping. Black and white have deep contract and colors are vibrant. Some people think these are starter cartridges but they are not. It's a dye based ink that needs to be printed so the ink is still in the tubes and you haven't lost anything! A must have printer to finish your photographs. Also comes with some plug in software for PS and LR.

The PRO-1000 has been awesome. It replaces a 13 year old Canon i9900. Ok, I had to load it on a hand cart to wheel it around the house and into my basement office. The thing is around 70 pounds in the box. Canon did a good job of placing it in a plastic bag that I could put an arm through both holes in order to host it onto the table. Most people are alone in their photo office I imagine and this is a special trick I think. Bringing the PRO-1000 up, with ink and connected to my iMac was seamless. Just follow the directions on the quick start sheets which direct you to the small screen on the front. In about an hour, maybe more it, but not two, it was making prints. Print quality is very good. As in all printing, the prints are darker than the monitor so I am getting to know it and calibrate it. I always had to worry about the prints being too red on my old i9900. This new PRO-1000 seems dead on in color. The PRO-1000 does not seem to want to print full bleed to the edge on my 13X19 paper. I am going to need to understand that better. It defaults to a 13X19 +25 which is a white edge. I know the tanks are expensive but they are massive. Maybe 3 inches by 1.5 inches by four; I did not measure exactly. There is a lot of ink in there. Again, I am very happy with my prints. I gave my first print to my ex-boss: a 13X19 bald eagle. And she is a birder.
