I purchased this printer in 2015.  It is used daily and has worked flawlessly each time.  In a few words: this has been a great printer and still is!

A fantastic pro photo printer.

Software always a mess, every time I need to print I have to jump through hoops just to get it up and running. Quite possibly the most difficult piece of hardware I have to use on my pro photography process

Decent printer when it works?

i have bought this printer during covid and ive only gotten to print off it a couple of times now it wont even load paper to print. shows yellow blinking light. this printer is very expensive yet it cant work. the wait alone was frustrating now the fact that i have  spent hundreds of dollars on a printer and it won't work it awful. 

the company support has been horrible as well.    when it did work the prints were of good qulity.

if it works

I have owned this printer for 2 years and it is not performing satisfactorily! the C - Bk - LGY - Y ink tanks constantly clog. This forces me to clean the head EVERY time I want to print photos. I am using Precision Inks which I love. When I use the cleaning functions in Printer Maintenance, it just uses up ink and then I have to remove the head and clean it manually. This printer has proven to be all work when I need it most! Canon needs to do something about this.

Poor ink jet head

I just had my 3 unit fail in less than a year. Now looking for a new printer after having this last one for 3 months. They used to run well. The new made models seem to break down.

3rd one I have owned in a year just broke down. Not a good lifespan.

I have had this printer for about 5 years now. I use it about 10x a year and it has worked well and prints beautiful prints on Canon paper with Canon Ink. I have had success on other art papers as well, I only use Canon ink and have been very happy.

Really Great Print Quality for Photos

I've had this printer for a couple of years now and have hardly used it. It is a fantastic printer when it works, but I have been getting paper jam errors WHEN THERE IS NO PAPER IN THE PRINTER. My level of frustration is through the roof. I've googled this issue and tried to explain there is no paper in the printer that is jammed. I am besides myself and am afraid that if I try one more time I will take this printer to the dump. I'm still holding out hope that there is a resolution somewhere. My patients is wearing thin!

Printer Paper Jams

I have a Pixma IX6820 and bought this Pixma Pro-100 after. I guess I should have known better. Lots of money that is now garbage sitting useless on a shelf. I cannot explain how disappointing it is to be loyal to a brand only to have it come back to bite me and my business repeatedly. Last Canon purchase I'll make.

Second Pixma printer going into the garbage

I got tired of buying junk printers that died after a year or 2 of use. I purchased this printer 6+ years ago I believe. This printer is on the larger side and may find it a bit harder to find a location or set it up. Still works great and still on the same print head(which are replaceable! I also did buy an aftermarket ink set kit with the resetable chips and the  proper high quality dye ink after OEM ink went low. This alone has saved $100s if not more over the years. I'm no professional nor do I print 10000s of photos every year but the Pro-100 has been the best printer I've ever used for the quality of prints and low maintenance.The colors and grays are some of the best I've seen on any consumer printer.

Best Printer I've had, User for 5-6 years!

Uses a lot of ink but keeps on working great. I have had mine since 2014 and it has outperformed my DVD/Blu Ray duplicator/printer and other printers. I have run thousands of discs through this printer. It was going to be a backup to my main disc printer but others failed and became my main disc printer. Slow process but just keeps working. I have also printed thousands of photos with it. Great Printer! I docked it a star because of ink usage. I stopped printing discs in 2019. Now it is a photo printer only but it will be retired soon for a larger printer.

Keeps working great, Since 2014

The printer was working fine until one day that didn’t turn on at all, and now is big brick “sitting” in the corner of my office.  Canon doesn’t support any type of fix and obviously is out of warranty.  Don’t buy it, I was expecting a lot more from a recognized brand like Canon.

$500 dollar Pro printer that dies after 2 years of no too much use

I bought mine about a week ago, and so far it has been excellent. I have printed about eight 13X19 borderless prints that are of outstanding quality. Additional i have printed at least two dozen 8.5X11 prints with the same outstanding quality.

Fantastic prints

I see there are some negative reviews but I've had this printer over 3 years and its been working great and produced some great prints. No need for a higher quality model. Combined with the Luster paper, it is really something to see your photos come to life on the printed page

Great prints! Very high quality, better than going to many print labs

This printer was exactly what I was looking for...quiet, efficient, fast, with quality prints. Very simple to set up with easy-follow instructions...took me about an hour or so. Be warned, printer is very LARGE, so cue location before purchasing. I’ve printed over 60 sheets so far with both card stock and vinyl sticker paper, ink wells still show at full. Very satisfied with my purchase.

Excellent printer

purchased my pixma pro-100 years ago
never any problems, it runs 24/7.

working mans printer

I purchased my pixma pro - 100 about a year and a half ago. Purchased my items to try and start a custom shirt business and so I had my printer stored in the house and still sealed in the box. I opened it a week ago and, followed the set up instructions, ink carrier moved to the center as it should, removed the print head from the sealed silver packaged, inserted carefully per instructions, inserted all inks one at a time and they lit red as instruction say. Made sure all lids are closed, started doing its thing to set up but started making loud clicking noises then got a power and alarm lights alternating blinking. Followed instructions to reset and it made noise as it was resetting but now the ink carrier doesn’t move and the lights on the inks aren’t on. Called customer service and  because it’s out of the 12 month warranty, there’s nothing they can do. Customer service is garbage, they don’t stand behind their product unless you’re with it warranty. Expensive lesson and will never purchase another canon product or recommend to anyone. Stay away from this company

Garbage

I have had the Pixma Pro-100 for about 2 1/2 years. When it is working right, it does a great job. The problem is IT DOES NOT WORK RIGHT most of the time. I have banding quite often. I use to be able to do a deep clean and it would be back to normal. I only got 4 13 X 19 prints after my last bout with banding before it appeared again.

I also took out the print head and placed it in about a 1/4" of Isopropyl alcohol. I also used an eye dropper to put it on each of the 8 colors. It has worked for awhile but the fix is only temporary. Now it doesn't work at all.

Banding is very frustrating. I hate it. My photos go in two galleries. I'd save money by having Costco do my printing. They already do all photos larger than 13 X 19, metal prints and canvas prints for me. If I make a mistake or something they did causes a mistake, they fix it without charging me.

Canon hides behind their warranty to protect them from any culpability.

With the cost of Canon Ink and 13"X19" Canon Paper, I figure I could order 20 13" X 19" prints from Costco. This isn't quite right. I have never gotten 20 prints that size out of my Pixma Pro-100 with just one full package of ink. I use an Epson ET 2750 Tank Printer to do my 5X7 Greeting cards and any 4X6 prints that I might need.

Pixma Pro-100 Printing Problems

I bought this printer February 2019, by 2020, it had stopped working. I was frustrated, and when I spoke to customer service, they said because it was past my warranty I was unable to get a new one. They stated they could give me a discount which was still more than what I paid for originally. It seems as though for every one that does work, there are four more that don't. I chose this after an amazing review from a friend who has had hers for a couple years now. Overall I am disappointed and still have a bunch of left over ink that cost way too much to just toss away.

It works.  It prints lovely photographs.  And so far (4 months I've had no problems with clogged nozzles or ink jets, which is more than I can say for the two Epson printers I  had before I bought the Canon.

It works as it should.

Ordered a Pro-100 while showed in stock.  My receipt showed in stock.  When it didn't ship I inquired by phone and was told not in stock.

Inaccurate website information

Canon asking me to review while item is still backordered...

Item backordered

This printer is apparently not tolerant to 60% household humidity.  The PIXMA Pro-100 clogs CONSTANTLY for me after sitting for just a couple days.  Looking around online, this apparently is common -- some people can go for weeks while others have to print EVERY DAY to keep it from clogging up.  I'm apparently in the latter category.  Prints fine after soaking the printhead in Windex, but then clogs up again after 2-7 days of sitting.  I shouldn't have to print every day to keep this thing working, especially with the ink being over $100 per set.  What a waste of money.

Clogs constantly

This device has done everything I could ask, short of two-sided printing.  It does color and black and white, high resolution work with output form 4X6 in to 13X19 in.  It has lots of paper options for photo printing and high quality ink jet paper output.  It makes stunning photos, even from an iPhone.  Try one today....You two will love it.

Easy to use....Stunning results

I have been using a Canon i9900 wide format printer for several years but then the ink head failed. I tried to find a new ink head but that seemed nearly impossible and ink became harder to get unless you buy it directly from Canon, which I do for all my Canon printers. 

I decided to look for another wide format photo printer and found the Pro-100. I didn't realize it's size but that doesn't matter much to me. However, it is big and heavy.

This printer has been flawless. Awesome print quality, it's fast, it's quiet and the ink seems to last a long time comparatively to my old i9900. I love this printer. It print's from all my Mac's, all my PC's and my Linux machines! I haven't tried AirPrint. No driver issues and no connection problems. I haven't used it connected to a LAN cable nor a USB cable. I connected to my WiFi and didn't need to worry about the cables. 

I would recommend this printer to people who have a knowledge of photography and computers otherwise the average person would not understand this printers capabilities and think that it is a failure when, in fact, they just don't know how to use it. After all, this printer is indeed a "photographers" printer, not intended for printing receipts and text documents. If that's all you need, buy a $59 printer intended for everyday printing.

Flawless printing, great color rendition, awesome B&W, fast WiFi!

After some time the pickup roller stopped pulling down 4x6 frames. Now the printer is only usable for larger formats.

Pickup roller won't traction 4x6

Excellent printer for the price.  It handles all jobs.  It's color is clear and with clarity.  Expensive ink and printer case, but it's worth it for the jobs I do.

Canon Pro

Excellent printer...use it exclusively for my photos.

#1 for photography

Makes excellent pro quality prints. Be aware this is a monster and comparatively heavy. I had to modify my work area to make it fit. Make sure you have room. I haven’t been successful so far to adjust for custom size prints like 11X14. Highly recommended although ink cartridges should be bigger capacity on a printer this size. This was a great deal with the limited time rebate that was available otherwise I likely wouldn’t have purchased it. I have made some nice quality prints with both Canon and Epson paper.
