Photo Printing at its Finest!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 13, 2016

Only had this up and running for a few days but thought I'd write about initial impressions. I'll update this review in time should anything change. So, first impressions. As everyone says, it's big, comes in a big box and is pretty heavy. I guess this is to keep it stable during printing, but not sure why it has to be so big, other brands do the same job with a smaller footprint. Set up is very easy with clear instructions. Connecting wirelessly took a few attempts as the online instructions aren't that clear - thankfully the step by step guide is. Basically, press the wireless button until both it and the status light flash, then press the WPS button on your router. My mistake was not to wait until the status light flashed. Head alignment was easy and took only a few minutes. I was then ready to print after what seemed a very short time indeed.

Although it comes with some sample papers to print on, I'd taken the initiative to purchase various paper sizes and downloaded the ICC profile provided by the paper company (British company beginning with Foto ending in speed). Although they provide a free bespoke service to get a profile correct for your set up, I have to say their generic profile has enabled me to print photos that look just like I see them on the screen. A couple have been a touch darker and warmer, when I printed from Lightroom, but those from Photoshop have been perfect, so could be my settings rather than anything else. Printing is quick, taking not very long at all for an A3+ sheet. Tried both High and Standard quality and to the naked eye there doesn't appear to be any real difference, with Standard being quicker and perhaps a little less thirsty. I know the inks are expensive, but I bought Canon because my wife and I have been using Canon printers for a few years now and they have all surpassed Canon's recommended print life (we print a lot). The newer printer's seem more susceptible to going wrong with third party inks, so I'll be sticking with Canon only on this one.

Overall, the quality of the print is first rate and just wish I'd purchased one before now, rather than using a lab to do my prints! (Oh, for the other professionals out there - I wouldn't recommend this printer for fine art printing, as the print method is more suitable for photo papers, if you want fine art, get the Pro-10 or Pro-1.)

Buscaba una muy buena impresora para fotografías. Este es el modelo que más me ha gustado, acorde a mi presupuesto.
Calidad asombrosa, tanto en color como en B&N. Múltiples formatos de papel y configuraciones. La gestión de color la hace de forma genial y muy exacta mediante el plugin para Lightroom.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 11, 2016

Verified Purchase

Purchased this printer last week so only had limited use so far.

Printing seems good, and not too loud compared to my previous Epson 1400.

I have it connected Wirelessly to my network, and use it with a Apple Macbook.

Wifi setup for the printer was incredibly frustrating, and I wasted a whole afternoon on it (hence knocking off a star). The instructions from Canon are very poor, and I think incorrect too.

I was trying to set the printer up to connect to my Virgin media Superhub. The WPS button setup to connect the printer to the router did not work, neither did other wireless connection setups that were included in the software.

It turns out the printer doesn't seem to like Wireless N standard or Auto WPA security connection to the router.

In the end I did the following which seemed to solve the issue:

*** Made sure only the wifi router that I wanted to connect my printer to was accessible, unplugged other wifi points off. ***

1) Downloaded the latest software from the Canon website, and installed it.
2) I installed the printer via a USB connection to ensure the printer was working ok and left it USB cable connected to both laptop and printer.
3) In my router settings I made sure Security Mode: WPA Auto was turned off, and instead it was set to WPA2-PSK[AES] specifically.
I also had the Wifi set to 2.4GHz (Up to 144Mbps) mode.
4) I then used the Canon Setup wizard and set up a wireless connection, but using the option that uses the USB cable to set the wireless connection up.

This allowed me to successfully get it connected.

I hope this info helps someone, and perhaps canon could implement the info on their website too.

5/5. Quality A3 printer. Print upto 350gsm.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 17, 2015

Verified Purchase

After owing this printer for more than three months now I am more than happy with it overall. First off the print quality is simply outstanding, the colours really pop through and the blacks are acceptable. No loss of quality at any print size up to A3.

You can run paper even at 350gsm without an issue. I like to use 275gsm+ paper for my photography prints and this Pixma prints without issue.

The printer is very quiet while printing which is another bonus as I like to print at night while others sleep. Once connected to your network it prints via wireless with no issue and always connects to my wifi once switching on but I must add here though that set up of the printer to the network became a little tiring after a while but once connected it works a dream.

5/5. Quality A3 printer.

Mighty printer delivers the goods.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 31, 2015

Verified Purchase

After looking at many reviews I decided to plump for the Canon Pixma Pro series printer and it is a hefty beast and carries a large footprint, however that is its only downside. When it arrived and I opened the box there was the minimal packaging as this printer fills the box from side to side. The set up was really easy and in no time had it up and running. I have to say that I was not disappointed with the prints as they are superb and will compete with the best of the colour labs in the U.K. and I talk from experience.
The quality of this printer is reflected in the price and if you can put up with the large footprint and wait on the printer head aligning itself for every print then the results will make you wonder why you didn't purchase this printer before.
This is not your everyday printer and I suspect only serious photographers will purchase it but if you want lab results then this is the printer for you.

It's a beast but a friendly one

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 27, 2015

Well they said it needed two people to carry the box in and they were right! I have a Mac so the CD was no use but I downloaded everything from the 'net easily. Haven't used the wifi but I connected with my previous cable (doesn't provide one) and everything so far has been fine. It's larger and takes longer than my old printer (Epson 1290) to 'send' the info but then prints faster. Works well with my Epson papers too but I can't find any compatible inks so I'm going to have to pay full whack for the next set. However, it's sturdy, looks like it's going to last and I'm confident with it - so full marks.
