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.*
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.
This was the best and most honest review i've ever saw :) Congratulations on this ! seriously , great video!
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.
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 :)
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!
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?!?
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!
Daym J! These videos look gorgeous now, I'm loving the new lighting/edit. Great review too!
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 CZcams Photo guys take note. . Jared is blowing ya out of the water!!
The new design with the cameras is super! I love the trafficlights!
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?
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.
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
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
is it really 15 min at max setting too print 1 sheet
i love the new videos your putting out they are great! oh and love the bloopers at the end!!
Jared, every time I watch one of your videos, I learn something. I wish my professors were like you lol
I love the review and the new quality of your videos.
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 :)
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.
great in-depth review. well done Jared
Excellent. Just purchased mine and set it up, but I have yet to print. Excellent presentation!!!!!
also, kudos to you jared. the quality of your videos are getting much much better!
just purchased one at a canon event. Thanks for the informative work forVader?!
This video is awesome, and the production level went up by ten times!!!
EXCELLENT ! VERY WELL DONE, I LIKE THE DETAILED INFO, THANKS, MICK.
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.
Kudos for your production and information value
AWESOME! have been waiting for this!
9 years later - Great video!
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.
Really good idea. I always second guess myself with my size changes
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.
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.
If i can pick up this printer for 100 bucks after rebate should I?
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.
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.
Just started shopping for printers, didn't realize this video was 7 years lol
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).
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.
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.
I'm glad Fro Vader came in finally and done a real review.
Also love the new multi-angle-thing going on. Feels more like a show now than a youtube video!
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.
Totally want that short
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!
Why does Vader sound like Homer Simpson?
yeah was not a big fan of that.. skipped forward
Because Fro is an old man and the new young people have never seen Spaceballs.
Thanks for the ads am hoping to get the pixma pro 1 within this fall for my photography career. Thanks so much
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
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.
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.
+Ethan's Variety Channel How easy is that to use? I am thinking about getting one myself and have been looking at that model!
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.
+Ethan's Variety Channel awesome! Looks like I will be buying that printer soon then =). Thanks for the info!
off topic.. but i like your studio! :-] the lights are so kewl!!
The costs are comparable, but only if you can guarantee the first print you make is going to be fine. The reality is, when cartridge ink levels start getting low, even before you see a warning, you often see some print defects which are only curable by replacing the cartridge that is getting low. It's funny how you often only see the low level warning pop up after it's printed!. By this time, you have used more ink of other colors, it ends up in the bin! The other reality is, there is always the chance you print something only to realize there was something wrong with a setting so you waste a print. My advice would be (unless cost is not an issue), find a printing service you know you can trust and make sure your monitor is giving you the most accurate visual experience as possible. That way you can be confident what you see on the screen is pretty much what you will receive from the service.
Having said that, there is nothing quite as exciting as watching your work reveal itself from the printer's rollers!
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.
Glad to see Frovader made an appearance.
I wish I could meet you and shake hands with you man. you're awesome :D
cheers from Saudi Arabia
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.
Totally want that shirt!
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.
5 STARS! IM ALSO trying to fix the bad review I previously posted
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.
If Adorama doesn't print 13" X 19" and only 12" X 18" then how did you get them for the comparison?
I have learned so much through watching your videos! Thank you. :)
After a mail in rebate, my Pixma Pro-100 cost me a whopping $10.
Not a bad deal imo.
march 10, 2020- pro 10 printer is $450 vs pro 100 $200 both B&H after rebates. We are doing our first time printing with a sony a7r3, we do 6 to 8 prints per week max , at 8in by 10 in, for our hobby, not selling any. When & from whom did you buy a canon pro 10 for $99- christmas sale or black friday and from whom-B&H? seems pro10 is slightly better colors with yellow, reds, more blacks. Is is preferred to spend $200 now for a pro100 now instead of wating 7 months for dec,2020 with a possible a new refresh of the canon pro 10 coming out ? (with a refreshed unit saving more ink in a beter cleaning cycle)? Please , opininion?
@@file1man did you end up buying the pro10 ? Been thinking of starting a small business to print for local people in my area
@@cbrmike69 pro 10 was delivered today, will bring the pro 10 on line tomorrow and advise how it is
Really friggin loving the camera changes and intro before the video change. Fro is moving up! FRONATION! (raises fist)
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
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.
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?
lols maybe you should have had him look at the images one at a time instead of side by side so it was harder to choose the printed one vs lab version. i think this showed that the lab still has better quality for less when you consider the cost of ownership and purchase of the printer and if you end up not fully using the print cartridges they will dry out on you. I do appreciate you making the vid though it helped me make up my mind keep em coming.
I realistically paid $50 for this printer brand new after rebates.. also the guys at the store threw in 2 free packs of 13x19 paper, semi gloss and luster... if you can get the rebates, this would be a great buy even if you don't print often..
Where did you purchase your printer?
@@itzeltellez939 local photo store to my area
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?
you can buy 200ml refill bottles on ebay for around $100 that's 40 refills each color. The refill ink prints look exactly the same as the original cartridges. You also need a cartridge reset tool that's around $30. But then its very cheap to print all you want. I have this setup and it works great pretty much just the cost of paper now ink price is so low really with this setup its only $2.50 per cartridge.
What kind of refill kit are you using!!!?
Off ebay ink. And the reset tool need to be purchased somewhere else just to a screach. I made a mistake on calculation its actually like 25 cents a fill not 2.50
Hello, are you still using this setup? I'm referring to the printer as well as the ebay inks. If yes, can you tell me how your experience has been after this 3 years? Also, do the inks last as long in terms of durability of the print as the Canon inks? Thanks a lot!
Fro-Vader sounds like Homer from the Simpsons 😂
Hello Jared, what kind of paper did you use?? Thanks
Canon Pro Luster 13x19 inch. It's in the description.
Great discussion !
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"?
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.
How'd you go with getting this set up? Did you calibrate your display?
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?
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.
You bring in an objective party, then when he asserts his opinion and easily identifies the inkjet prints, you start saying how subtle the differences are and steering the discussion to the conclusion you've already come to: that you like the Canon prints. Of course, as with any printing process, if you want the absolute best results you'd do test prints just like in the old days of C-printing or B&W basement darkrooms, and color cast issues can easily be managed.
Good advice man, good advice!
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?
I think that he was seeing the hues from the traffic light behind him lol... the light color was matching the hue he was mentioning!
jared would you pick one up new for 50 with ink vs buying prints from online?
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.
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
3 years later, the price is $3xx after $150 rebate from canon canada. what you think? i dont need the print out for customers
Awesome video and great looking prints! I just purchased one so excited to get started with it. PS.. if you like I will take one of those color monkeys off your hands! Will even buy it. Anyways great video
Canon pixama ?
Awesome! Many years ago, so what do you suggest now in 2021?
First of all I liked the video and appreciate some well made points. However, do you notice the green and red reflections from your lights? Both of you are commenting about the overcast green and I'm sitting here cracking up. It's better than the comedy show. Regardless, the video was helpful to me.
Haha I thought exactly that too. I would find having those lights in a room that wasn't a dance club disturbing.
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?
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!
Do a side by side with a Lab print that they have adjusted and see if they are still close.
Your Vader is more of a Darth Homer... great video really help me with my printer search.
Hey Jared, with your new apple router, have you tried connecting your printer to your computer via WiFi?
Glad I'm not the only one who had issues with the WPS connection. I got it connected wirelessly, eventually.
Great review and as always fun to watch. I was thinking about getting one, but i belong to the group of people to whom you not recommend getting one because i'm not the everyday printer. But then again...who knows, anyway...thanks jared for that review ;)!
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.
Ha, you almost sound like Homer Simpson in the Vader mask. Great review!
Jared I really think you should calibrate both your monitor and printer. If you did that there might be much less difference between those prints. The colour difference is quite obvious even in this video.
I think you should try different printing houses
I wonder how color deficient photographers manage. I always get my colors mixed up in my day to day.
Damn you guys are good. Nailed em all. Very good attention to detail.
