- čas přidán 3. 09. 2021
- Lets explore how different print media react to some of my photography portfolio. Does the Canon Pro Luster photo media fits the bill in printing a good photograph? Will the Canon Pro Platinum paper look best? Or should we go all snob and use the Canon Premium Fine Art Smooth?
Lets discuss, as I print these for test, so you do not have to!
Enjoy

One thing to keep in mind for photographers looking to get into printing your photos, your computer screen is back lit so the photo file viewed on your computer will be lighter than your prints, because prints are not back lit but reflect light.
Matter of time till we see photo paper plus glossy HDR with some kind of chemical behind the paper to make it lit.
Excellent,clear ,straight forward, demonstrations very helpful
Exactly what I needed! Many thanks
I know that feeling when I found the video that help me on CZcams. Thanks. Hope you have a good day
Awesome video thanks for sacrificing ink and paper for the knowledge.
I appreciate your efforts !!!
This is really helpful, thanks!
Thanks for the overview of the types of photo print papers by Canon. The images that you photographed and printed are beautiful. I am considering purchasing the Canon Pixma Pro 200.
Glad it was helpful! I enjoy the printer, and the ability to print photographs that I care about. ;)
Thank you so much for this!
very thorough review! thank you
Well done! Tks from Italy 🇮🇹
Super helpful, thank you!
Excellent demonstration of the different papers, Jon. I've just ordered by P200 and have a good idea which papers to try first.
Glad it was helpful!
Great Video! Beautiful images.
I’m thinking of getting this printer to make my own prints at home. This was a perfect review of the different papers because I want to make sure I pick up the right paper for my shots. I think the fine art will be perfect for my photos!
Thank you for this video! I just bought a canon printer and was so lost not knowing about which paper. Super helpful video 🙂
Glad it helped
This video helps me a lot. I know many papers which the canon offered.
Very helpful - thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for comparison!
No problem!
Great explanation, you were great
Thank you! 😃
Great video!
(Epson artisan 1430 printer) I use the Premium Glossy for everything, but will start experimenting with the Fine Art Smooth for B&W's. Thanks for the video.
I was caught off-guard with the speed of that PRO-300 printer...until I realized it was sped up.
Thank you for the information on the Canon photo papers!
lol, didn't meant to mislead , just wanted to be more precise and hit the point of the video whenever I am aware.
I prefer the Canon Pro Semi-Gloss (SG-201) over the Pro Luster (LU-101). The two are very similar but I prefer the more neutral texture on the Semi-Gloss. PRO Platinum is so glossy, but too many OBAs for my taste in general, but it certainly has it place if you want super gloss. The Canon Pro Semi-Gloss (SG-201) is my go to for many tasks, and with the right settings works well for B&W as well. Getting a sampler pack from Canon or others (Red River has many) is a good way for new user to find out what they like.
Great Video!! Thanks Jon learnt a lot I just bought a pro 200
Awesome
Great video
awesome, as a photographer i want to get a printer to, but a a4 one. Will be also a canon one. Will the result be similar to the a4 papers? This video was awesome. Awesome quality and really nice to listen to. Very helpful. Subscribed.
Thank you for the very thorough comparison - I'm going to order the fine art photo paper based on your review :-) Canon should pay you a comission 🙂
HI Jon! Great video! Would you know if the Canon Pro 200 can take card stock (65-100#) and does it print borderless prints?
Dear Jon, Thank you so much for the comparison! the colors and details are absolutely amazing!!
Recently I have also bought the same model of printer and printed on the pro-luster, although i have used the reccomended ICC profile, the colors still seem a little off from the screen. Do you have any tips on how to edit the photos before printing?
After color editing the raw file on lightroom, would you export them as Jpeg and then saved as CMYK file on photoshop and print with the recommended ICC or do you simply just hit print (as RGB) after the color editing on lightroom?
It'll be so grateful to have your thoughts and share on it!! Thank you so much!
Thanks for the vid Jon..but I need to know, is the background in your videos painted? I wanted this look for my bedroom and absolutely love it. I don't really know what to google to see more examples of it.
Good day to you. It’s a photography backdrop that I use for my portrait sessions here at Jon low studios. If your country has aliexpress try searching for photography backdrop and you would see something similar
Thank you for the review Jon! Do you have any ink consumption tips or feedback you can share with us?
I gotta say that these printer do consume ink quite a bit - not out of my expectations. The short 7 to 8 months that I am using the printer, I have change the cartridges once, full set, with about half tank left for most of the ink. That's not a very accurate way to measure - these guys over here does it better : www.redrivercatalog.com/rr/cost-of-inkjet-printing-canon-pro-200.html
On my Canon 200 I use Canon photo paper when it on sale, luster is my favorite for the reasons you stated, for the most part I use photo paper from Redriver photo paper, they have a wide variety of paper in many different sizes.
Enjoyed your informative and entertaining video tremendously. What would you use for landscape (e.g., granite rock mountains such as Yosemite, oceans and mountains, lush green meadows) or architecture? Thanks.
I am more of a cotton base paper kinda person. I like that the print gives textures and contrast. To each their own actually. I can understand landscape photographer printing granite rock mountain with a sunset backing with a nice smooth glossy paper ;)
Nice information
Thanks
I use Pro Luster (LU-101) A3 and A4 on canon pro-100 fantastic quality.
You are not missing much from the naked eye if you print with the pro-100 ;) . The user interface on the pro 200 is better. We know what the printer is up to with the LCD display
Hola, ¿me puedes decir que otros papeles imprime la impresora canon 300 aparte del papel fotográfico?
Very informative! Entertaining too :). Do you use the Pro 200 for the prints you sell on your website? Best review of Canon Pro papers I've seen. Thanks!
Hi Angela, thanks for watching and your kind words. Yes, I do sell these prints on my website, as listed. And yes, the prints will be done with the Pro 200 ;)
@@jonlow Thank you, that's great to know! Can you tell me which paper you use for the prints you sell on your website? For example, the one of downtown San Francisco, the Eifel Tower, and the one of old peeling stucco wall with the Window in center? I love the way you have framed your prints also -- simple and elegant. Great video! Why does everyone insist that unless its a pigment print it is unworthy and no one will buy it? You have convinced me otherwise! Thank you, Jon!
@@sl2608 Most of them are printed with the the Canon Fine Art Print. As I am love cotton base paper for my prints more. These are simple frames - IKEA has them and it fits A3 papers like a glove. Have fun. Don't think too much
@@jonlow Best line ever!! I really needed that as I think waaaayyyyy tooooooo much!!
Hi! I'm looking for a printer that generates good black and whites but not with a big budget. How did you find the black and whites with this pro 200? Any bad color casting?
Great video. When you print B&W do you use an ICC profile or black and white mode? Thanks!
I’ve just convert my photo to black and white and didn’t change the icc profile tho. Not sure if that’s the right thing to do but it works for me
Awesome video I had a question can you sell prints from the canon pro 200? I was thinking about getting one but a Canon specialist told me if I was to sell Prince get the upgrade canon 300 Pro that it has pigment ink… What do you think about that please let me know thank you
Very helpful video, thanks for posting it...the prints are really beautiful....Which is that lamp that you are using for viewing prints?...Is it a D50 lamp with a high CRI ?...
It’s the Godox SL60W. High CRI relatively
I meant to ask regarding the desk lamp with the swivel arm that you are using....is that color balanced too ?...or is it just a regular desk lamp?...
@@sharadsingh635 It's just a regular desk lamp ;)
Are images good enough to sell off this printer? Great video
This helps me so much. What kind of paper would you use for typical wedding photos. I eamb typical story photos from the wedding day? I photographed part of my brother's wedding and want to gift him a nice print as a present. I have the canon g650 printer with max of A4 size
This was a much needed review of the media types for the Canon Pro 200. Thank you Jon, I subscribed and saved this video.
Interesting, but the only way to truly compare is to print the SAME picture on all formats to show how one image reacts to each paper. Printing different pictures on different formats is not a comparison. Also, would suggest you arrange your lights so that the images are flat on the floor without lights directly above reflecting back into the camera. Thanks
Great suggestion!
Thanks for the comparison but what I really wanted to see was the same image printed on each stock so we could see the difference. I admit I stopped watching when I saw you were printing different pictures but mentioning the archival properties of each would have been useful (you didn't mention it for the first one so I assume you didn't for the rest).
Hi Jon. Thanks for the video. What icc profile and paper settings did you use for the Canon Fine Art Smooth paper? This paper is not registered in my PRO-200 printer and I cannot find its icc profile on Canon's website.
I had problem finding the paper. I've just configure to use the Premium Fine Art Rough as it was the closest.
@@jonlow Thanks for the info
John, nice one. Question, did you hear about a "Crystal Grade" paper from Canon? I'm looking for it as there is a profile on Canon Imageprograf pro-1000 for it. Hoping it gets somehow close(er) to Fuji Crystal Chrome....
No I have not heard about Crystal Grace paper. Ahhhhh ;) hrmmmm.... now you got me curious. And some papers from canon are rebatch from other products - Like the Museum etch are actually Hanemulle's so - not surprise it's actually fuji crystal chrome
Yes I see it for sale in Japan
Do you think that print qualiti of Canon pro-200 sufficient for sell prints?
Settled some confusion for me...Thanks, Question-would you say the fuji film simulations would benefit printing on the fine art paper smooth?
Sorry for the late reply. I am sure that the cotton base paper takes on the vintage look of a fuji simulation.
Hi thank you for your video. Question: what software are you using to print from? Thank you.
It's the software that comes together with the printer - Professional Print & Layout app from Canon
Can anyone help me. I've been looking for paper for a couple of weeks but I'm looking for paper that doesn't come with the company brand name printed all over the back of it. Do all of canons paper have their name printed on the back or are there particular papers that don't have it, besides double sided? Like the premium paper, I can only assume that with premium, comes a blank backside? Would my assumption be correct?
Thank you for your video, can you possible explain if you know why Canon Fine Art Smooth is not recommend for Pro 200?
Cotton base papers like the Canon Fine Art Smooth is one of my favourite media. The use of whatever media really depends on what you want the end result to be,
Great video, very helpful! I was told by one of the major photo supply stores that Canon has discontinued the Premium Fine Art Smooth paper, is that true???? I hope not. I would like to try it, but not if it is no longer going to be made. Do you know anything about this, Jon? Have you heard if it is being discontinued? Thanks.
I think they are shortage of it. The paper is a ball and I love them. I don’t think it is discontinued. There are other cotton base paper alternative also
@@jonlow Glad to know you do not think it is being discontinued! I ordered some and can't wait to try it. I've sampled some Red River papers (US manufactured) and Moab, but so far I like the look of Canon papers best. If you have other favorite papers to recommend please let me know. Thanks, Jon!
Hey Jon just bought this printer and was wonder what two programs you are using for this and where can I get them. I noticed you're using a apple laptop but I use windows on a PC I built.
The softwares come with the Canon Pixma Pro 200, and they are available to download at their official website: www.usa.canon.com/support/p/pixma-pro-200#idReference%3Dsoftware-drivers . I am using the Professional Print & Layout tool that canon provides.
Hey what program did you use to print? I have a mac and I don't get much options when I print.
Looks like the Canon software you can have as a stand alone app or as a plug-in for Lightroom or Photoshop.Also had that same question.
I have the PIXMA PRO-200, but I can't find the paper setting for Canon Premium Fine Art Smooth.
What setting did you use?
Answering myself, I now found in the comments - Fine Art Rough. 😊
When I first saw the color images from a pigment ink Canon printer I can not tell you how disappointed I was and am. You can't beat dye based ink that is ironically is not considered professional? (yes I know why but........)
Do you convert to cmyk before you print?
Hi Monica. No I don’t convert to cmyk. Printing out straight out sRGB would surface
Whats the difference between fine art smooth and fine art rough?
The surface texture is rougher on the rough, where else fine art smooth has almost no bump
Will it print borderless?
Yes it does
what is your name ? man
tell me fast your name ather vic hit you
Jesus loves you and wants to be with you. Turn to him if you haven't or come back to him if you left. He can and wants to save you, deliver you, and set you free. Don't worry about how you are now, give up your sins, surrender to him fully, and change your ways. We don't have much time until Jesus comes back. It is past time to wake up and now is definitely not the time to play. Make your decision now! You are not being forced to do this, but for the sake of your soul and how you spend eternity, Jesus is the way to go! Remember Jesus loves you and I love you very much! God bless you! 💖
This was hard to watch

These paper that I’ve printed all does not have their brand plastered behind
