Questions & Answers

Heather C : I am looking to replace a Pixma AIO that served my family for 5 years. I want it something exceptional at photos, but I also need it to print book reports or project papers or whatever else my family might need. Does this have some kind of "basic" mode so I can still have exceptional photos while still also printing my kids' school projects or reports without wasting tons of ink?CHARLES C : If you use it frequently it doesn’t use as much ink if you only use it once or twice every three months it has to do a refresh which uses a lot more ink
yellowdoor y : is this printer comparable with Mac's Sierra?CONNIE S : Yes it is.CARLA H : Yes it’s compatible with all Mac OS versions
Shopper : How does this printer handle greys on B&W photos?GILBERT P : In my view Grey has to be evaluated over the entire gamut of Black & White prints. In the case of the Pixma Pro 10 printer, grey tones have always had a prominent place. After all Black & White photos are not just about black and white tones but also a gradation between the two. And that's where the PGI-GY ink is critical. In my experience, Canon's grey ink achieves this gradation superbly. I like all the B&W prints I get including the beautiful intermediate tones that it creates. I have the highest recommendation for this printer and it's inks. I used to have another brand printer that also printed in B&W but I never cold achieve the depth and gradation that I get with this printer. I hope I have answered your question.MARC G : Frankly, I don't often do b and w photos. Thus I cannot give you a precise response to your question. What I can say is that the printer has never disappointed me, even when I do the occasional black and white. . It's slow but its quality is superb.STEPHEN S : Excellent black, white and greys. What I like best about this printer is the smooth shine from white to black, no bronzing transition where there is no ink.

Amazing functionality & Superior Results!

I’ve had this Pixma Pro-10 printer for about 8 months and being astute with the finite details, I’m exceedingly delighted! With the Canon name on it I shouldn’t be surprised. My photos were perfect and I’ve hung several in my house!

Guzzles ink!

It has me replace the ink when the cartridge is still half full and the ink is very expensive!

Money Pit

Buy this printer if you enjoy throwing your money out the window - if you let it sit even for a very very short time it's the same old story - ink vanishes, banding occurs. Then Canon will give you some cookie cutter "help" about the print head being a sensitive spazy cousin that never does what it should. Better off outsourcing your prints or buying a throw away.

Outdated driver

I love the printer. However, lost time, ink and paper because of inability to set even margins in different size papers, inability to consistently set custom paper sizes and margins. I am ready to switch to Epsons. Same issue with Dx0, Luminar 4, Luminar Ai, ON1 Raw, Affinity. I have stopped using PS and LR; similar issues.

Great printer

I bought this printer 10 years ago and I am still in love with it My printed photographs are beautiful, whether color or B&W (my favorite. Prints are true to the image with the help of custom profiles (monitor and printer). In almost 11 years my printer has never failed me, needed adjustments or repairs.

great printer

I bought this printer, i believe abput 4 years ago. Have never had a problem printing. I calibrated my computer, and my images print exactly as i see them on screen. But as remembering what the scene actually was. The whole key for savings on ink is to do a nozzle check every 45 hrs. If you go longer you will use a bit more ink. Sure if you look at the difference between the 10 and the 1000. The inks on the 1000 are larger but it has been more cost effective with the pro 10.

Wow terrible printer

This thing is a terrible product. I am so amazed by most of Canon's products, but I recommend you get the Epson instead! Confusing overcomplicated software. Difficult and flawed installation process. Ink hungry. And after dealing with all of that, my printer turned out to be a lemon! Enough time had passed I could no longer return it, so I ate the price of the printer, extra ink, and paper!

must change ink every time you print!

This printer makes beautiful prints but I swear I must change one or more cartridges every single time I print, and I print very little. It is very frustrating!!!! Especially because it only notifies you of one at a time, not all at once. So it takes 30 minutes to change three cartridges one at a time with long machinations between each cartridge. Please fix this.

Perfect Professional Printer and Fantastic Service

The Canon Pixma Pro-10 prints better then I could have ever imagined. The colors are beautiful on prints - the black and white images are so deep and strong with a lot of tonal variance. So easy to setup and use. I find using the Canon Papers and Canon Studio Pro Free Software make the process seamless. I love being able to print directly from home and to get the same or even better results. I am so glad I ordered it directly through Adorama. They were so easy to work with. They had it setup nicely for me to receive a Rebate from Canon. They shipped the printer instantly and it came so quickly. I give the entire process a 10 Star Rating. You will not be disappointed.

Great Photo Printer

I bought my pro-10 about a month ago and have been trying it with all kinds of different papers. I am getting some great results. I am very impressed with the quality prints this thing is producing. I was on the fence about buying my own printer vs going through a lab. I have not regretted the purchase for a second. I recommend this printer and can also recommend Canson Infinity Baryta Photographique paper for stunning results. Other great options are Red River soft gloss rag and polar matte. If you are looking for cheaper paper, the Canon Luster that comes with the printer is not bad either.

A great printer

I’m a professional photographer who is just starting to cut his teeth in the world of printing, so my experience with the process of high quality photo printing is extremely limited. I will say this, the prints I’ve got from the Canon Pro10 are thus far fantastic. The printer took a little but to set up, but, according to everything I’ve read online, it’s one of the easier pro printers to set up. Without doing a side by side comparison with a loupe, I can’t tell the difference between prints I make with this and the prints I order from my regular, archival print shop. So, 5 stars.

Do it.

I highly recommend this printer. Beautiful quality! Easy to set up and use. If you’re planning on printing a large quantity of prints, I suggest picking up an extra set of ink just in case. They last a decent amount of time, although my PBK color ran dry quickly because I have a lot of blacks in my photos. Might as well have a back up of each color. Have a beautiful day you all! :)

The best printer for the “Home Based Pro”

Been a pro photog for over 40yrs (during my time off...I was a police officer working shifts so that made working photo jobs easy. This Pro 10 is by far the best printer I have owned. Gallery quality colour and B&W prints pretty much out of the box. My wife and I are retired now and we spend from May to October at our trailer campsite. We come home for a few days about ever 6wks or so. During that time, the printer is off and not printing. If this was an Epson, i would have had to trash it because of major clogs. But the Pro 10; never a clog and printed a perfect test print every time we came home. For me, that is this printer’s strongest attribute. It produces amazing prints, either through Photoshop or the printer’s driver. I am absolutely satisfied with this printer. The wi-fi connectivity adds to it’s versatility.

I’m extremely happy with the Canon Pixma Pro-10. I previously owned Epson printers. I like the fact that I no longer have to tape a plain paper leader to the canvas so it will feed properly.

Beautiful prints

I switched to this Canon printer after recommendations from other photographers. Canon seems to make a print head that is easier to keep clean than Epson. I will never give Epson another dime after ditching my 2 year old P600 because the heads would clog all the time. This printer is quiet, but seems a little slow. Order an extra chroma optimizer when you purchase the printer.

It buzzes, it whirrs, it works.

This printer scared me the first few times I used it. It is a living, breathing creature that makes spontaneous noises that you have no control over. It clicks, it taps, it whirrs. Once you accept that, you will likely love this printer. I've read many of the other reviews about clogged nozzles, jamming errors, alignment problems, etc. I bought this printer USED, have shipped it intercontinentally for moves, and have let it sit unused for months on end. It still works flawlessly, years later. Maybe I'm just lucky. But, it is what it is. This is a fantastic printer.

Great Prints Finally

I have used Epson Printers for years and have had problems with correct color output. Now I have an answer to my problem, Use Canon Pixima Pro printers. The prints the truest colors I have seen outside of a Prints shop. Right out of the box the prints are perfect. I just can't believe It took so long to buy this printer.

Since I purchased the Pixma Pro 10 I have printed over 25 8 X10's, several 5X7's and 6X4's including one 13 X19. The printer is doing a great job. Very impressive results in detail, color, and saturation. I realize the ink can run up the cost however if I had used my ole printer I know I would have sent more on ink. The only negative I can find with the printer is documents. This is a photo printer and documents are printed very slow. You can overcome this by selecting paper output and the pr...

Great quality

By MelvinC

Haven't had this printer very long so can not speak about durability. However the quality is amazing. The photos I've printed so far are very much professional looking. The operating cost isn't cheap but its a trade off for the fine quality and convenience. All inks and supplies are available locally for me.

As a photographer, you take care to capture the best images possible and you want those images to look as good as you remember when you print them. The PIXMA PRO-10 Wireless Professional Inkjet Printer makes that possible with features that ensure incredible output. A new 10-color LUCIA pigment ink system features three black inks for amazing monochrome prints, and a Chroma Optimizer to ensure the inks lay smooth on the paper which reduces metamerism and bronzing. Since the Lucia inks are pigment based, your prints will have incredible longevity and phenomenal photo vividness.

The PIXMA PRO-10 shares technology with the rest of the PIXMA PRO line utilizing the Optimum Image Generating System to ensure what you envision is exactly what you get. The OIG System analyzes each area of the print and chooses the best ink mixture so you see the colors you expect to see in your print.

The new Print Studio Pro2 plug-in software makes it even easier to get amazing results from your favorite photo applications. Add to that connectivity options like Wi-Fi, Ethernet and USB and you have a professional machine that easily fits into your workflow that you can place anywhere around the studio.

For media support, the PIXMA PRO-10 features two paper trays. A rear tray for a variety of fine art and glossy photo papers, and a manual slot for thicker media to meet your printing needs.
