Canon Pixma PRO-1

 

The Canon Pixma PRO-1 is large, slow, and expensive for an A3+ photo printer, but it delivers where it counts: in producing magnificent, gallery-quality prints.

Magnificent photo quality. Especially good for monochrome photos. Above-par graphics and text. Higher-capacity ink tanks than its rivals

Relatively slow. Large and heavy. Pricey for an A3+ printer. Can't print from paper rolls

Canon Pixma Pro-1

 

The Pixma Pro-1 is Canon's latest addition to its A3+ (13-inch) pigment ink printer lineup. Intended to sit a category above, rather than replace either the Pixma Pro9000 Mark II or Pro9500 Mark II models, the Pro-1 sets its sights on a more...

Outstanding print quality for color and black and white ; Large capacity ink cartridges ; Three gray ink dilutions for smooth transitions in monochrome output ; Chroma optimizer eliminates gloss differential and reduces bronzing ; Direct support for...

Most expensive A3+ printer on the market ; Large footprint for an A3+ printer ; Accurate shadow detail requires a custom profile ; Reduced printable area on some fine art media ; Print plug-in offers no precise control over image size

The Pixma Pro-1 is a very impressive performer and a stylish looking printer to boot. This 12-ink pigment-based inkjet model is capable of producing rich, detailed and color-accurate prints that are among the finest we've seen from a desktop printer....

Printer Review: Canon PIXMA Pro-10

 

Crank out handsome photo prints with Canon's second-tier 13-inch PIXMA printer.

Very good print quality with great color and realistic skin tones; good black-and-white print results; fast and quiet; built-in Wi-Fi option; easy set up

Fewer gray inks than the step-up model mean there’s less detail in the shadow areas; a large printer for just 13-inch output; no roll feed option

With its ten pigment inks, the Canon Pro-10 is the step-down model from the bigger and, it should be said, better 12-ink Canon Pro-1. The Pro-10 is still a high-quality, 13-inch printer that might attract pros looking to save a few bucks. (It’s $300...

The Canon Pixma Pro-1 Professional Inkjet Printer is the new flagship model of Canon's photo inkjet lineup, following in the footsteps of the popular Pixma Pro9000 Mark II and Pixma Pro9500 Mark II.

Virtually PERFECT color accuracy without manual calibration ; Fantastic retention of highlight and shadow detail without clipping to white or black ; Reasonably fast printing at high quality

Ink runs out fast even with the larger tanks ; No built-in Wi-Fi ; This thing is HUGE and HEAVY

The Canon Pixma Pro-1 Professional Inkjet Printer is available now through Canon and authorized retailers for the suggested selling price of $999.99.

A vast improvement over the Pro 9500

 

I purchased the Pro 1 to replace my Pro 9500 Mk2 (which proved to be very costly in terms of ink consumption). The larger 36ml cartridges go a long way and are proving to be economical from a commercial perspective (I am a semi-retired Wedding...
