Good presentation. Some additional thoughts though: (1) In addition to the ink, don't forget the maintenance tank. (Cost about $15) Have one of these extra on hand, because when it fills up, you're done printing until it's replaced. Even if you have all the ink in the world, this will shut down the printer until it's replaced. (2) Speaking of maintenance, do not ever power this printer down. It only uses about 2W of power - so no big deal. Let it run its maintenance when it needs to so as to prevent your print heads from clogging. Maybe consider putting a small UPS on the printer to maintain power during outages. It will be very expensive to replace that print head. (3) When not using monitor calibration, as far as your prints looking a bit darker than the image on your screen, simply darken your screen until the images on your screen are a bit closer to those printed. When you think about all the $$$ you spent on this printer, your camera and lenses (most likely thousands of dollars total) please spend $300 - $400 on a monitor calibration system. (4) Most every lab, including Adorama, will take your very best 16 bit Tiff and knock it down to an 8 bit JPG prior to printing. So, why should you care? It has to do with the number of colors per channel which translates into the amount of detail or gradation of tones you see in the image (or shadow detail). 8 Bit only results in 256 values of color per channel while 16 Bit results in 65,532 values of color per channel! The main reason you want a printer like this is that it can print in 16 Bit while your lab can't or won't. This equates to having much greater control over your final product and a much higher quality print. While I can't tell by looking at the prints presented in this video, I have doubts that they were printed in 16 Bit as the quality of a 16 Bit print from the Canon would have been night and day compared to the 8 Bit prints from Adorama (or any other lab). Out of the box, this software (at least used to) print in 8 Bit. You would have to deliberately make the change in the software to 16 Bit Color Depth.

I do 10 to 15 weekend art shows every summer and this is EXACTLY the type of review that is extremely helpful when it comes to thinking about bringing my printing in-house. Thanks, Jared!

I viewed this again, and am even more impressed than I was before. You brought all your skills of communicating, organizing apparently disparate information, accommodating a range of viewers, technical proficiency, and production values. Masterful. Thanks for your clarity.

Love when someone have passion for the job, you can't hide that / Respect.

I Appreciate how he is able to say negatives about the printing company he is sponsored by. Good job fro. You still have credibility

This review was awesome. Dude, I want that portrait photo of you! It's so organic and real, love it! It would look good right over my computer.

Great stuff, Jared!

Brotatochip... Holy Crap... the level of production for this video is amazing... This is awesome. It is like you hit another level lately.

EGADS! 6 years and this is STILL one of the best evaluations of this printer. The prices haven't changed. Mine is supposed to come tomorrow but know fedecks it'll be tuesday. Thanks, Fro!

Thank you Jared, this was the final review before making my mind up. Its on the way and should be here before Christmas. :)

Thanks man! Huge fan of your videos, and this is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks for taking the time putting this together.

It’s the first time I heard one of your review and I think you explained everything amazing and without take any part such as professional review. Thank for your review from Italy

I enjoyed this review. It covered all the necessary information and was very well presented. Thank you for your effort in bringing this to your audience.

Thank you Jared! Not only are you brilliant but you communicate clearly, transparently and knowledgeably for novices like me.

Such a great unboxing video! Some reviews say the Canon paper has more problems but I'm thinking they've fixed that by now! Thank you!

This video has inspired me to finally get big prints done

Those prints look amazing, makes me want to buy one of those and start printing my images!

The best review. Appreciate the quality of the information and the unbiased reporting. Thanks for the great video.

I'm beginning to print my work and I'm so stoked about it! This printer is very tempting!!!

Excellent review - calm, factual, not emotional. And I do also enjoy your dynamic, emotion packed content also.

One of your best reviews. Almost went out and bought one on the spot.

Very, very thorough. I wish more reviews were this comprehensive. Thanks!

I really enjoyed this review. Incredibly informative. Thanks Jared!

Great review Jared....you always cover all areas with your reviews...awesome channel 💯💯💯

I've been trying to make up my mind on whether to go to a Pro-1000 pigment printer from a Pro-100 dye printer. This is not only a well put together balanced review but also provides excellent advice [from start to finish] on whether one should buy a printer with this capability or simply order prints. Since I print strictly for myself as a hobby -- Jared provided the common sense that my practical side was looking for confirmation on. Bottom line: I'd love to get the printer but I'll try 17x22's from a commercial printer first.

Wow! fantastic review. I'm gonna open a photo studio and you have convinced me to get this printer. Your info was very informative. Thanks bud. Cheers. frank from LA

great video! Thanks for this information, been looking for a top notch printer,for photography.

Wow. Great review. I hope you come back and do a long term review on this product. I'm curious what issues arise from infrequent use or constant use.

Thank you so much for making this video. I was on the fence between Epson and Canon and my decision has been made. I learn so much from you and your videos. You are appreciated. Thank you

Really well filmed and edited!!! :)

Wow... impressive review. Thanks Jared.

Thank you for this excellent review, you answered all of my question.

Great review Jared. I would agree with you that the quality of the paper is also really important. For ultimate glossy output Canon Pro Platinum paper has a massive effect compared to standard glossies and is well worth the investment for your best work.

Good review Colin K. Excellent job.

Dude you are awesome. My best regards to you. Not even Canon can do a review like you do.

Nice, one of your best videos man. Nicely done.

Great review Jared!

Fantastic review - saved me hours of research - cheers mate!

I like the balance in your review Jared, you put options out there in this review. Your Real World Reviews are one of my favorite segments on your channel. Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing what the Fro Factory will push out #frofactoryshirts

Nice work, I like the “straight to the point “ comments, very useful information.

Nice review, thanks for the heads up on C paper

Great video thanks my man! I’m going to go ahead and buy this printer now 👍

Great video. Thank you for all the info.

Wow Jared, this was really a great review. Thank you!

Thank you...once a week printing to keep my printer in tip top shape I am using Epson XP-630 and still learning. Make cards and print family photos. Really enjoyed your video 👍🏼✌🏼️

fantastic review! very helpful

Hey Jared! I know this is an older video but still worth its weight in gold! Thank you for the very detailed information, and as always your honest feedback. I just ordered one and will arrive next week.

Hola Fro funk person……. Asked about this printer on one of your other vids, found this program thanks, you have Sold me one of these rather than the prograf pro 300 :)

Jared. Great review. thank you.

Very helpful review, thanks.

Really good video. I haven't watched much of your content for a while, but this product (and review) was quite helpful. Thanks!

Thanks Jared! I also watched your review on the pro 10 (I just bought ) too and it was also good... I used to rock a fro about as big as yours (in the 70's) 😀🤓😳😃😃! Keep doing it! Peace... Michael Parks in Cali.....

This is the best printer-review I have ever seen! :D

First of all, printing is fun and it should be part of your photographic experience. Second of all, you can get a lot more creative when you can print instantly on the spot. I personally use the Imageprograf IPF670 which is only 4 color (with a pigment black as 5th), but you get 24" X 58" print capability, cheaper ink and knockoff inks, and you can print on canvas and thick media. At that size the print quality isn't noticeably different. And it's cheaper than the 1000, though about twice the size and probably more than twice the weight. There's something super satisfying about printing that large from your own studio for around $1200 initial layout.

Great information you answered all of my questions

excellent review Jared

Having a printer in Home its one of the joyfully things a photographer can have. I only got a Epson L800 but I can imagine how cool it will be to have a Canon PRO-1000. Great Review!

Really good review, thanks!

I would love to have one of these but for what I would use it for my pro-100 works perfectly. It also better suits my budget by only costing me $100 for a full set of inks. Love the review.

Great review dude ❤️

Thanks for sharing! Always go to you when looking to make a buisness purchase 🤟

This is very useful. Thank you.

This is the best review on a canon 1000 that I’ve seen and it’s 7 years later! Thank you! Also, do you have any updated comments on this printer - newer series - or any other printers for professionals? I am a full time pet photographer and make good money off prints so I’m looking to print at home!

I love this review Mr. Fro Polin... Excellente!!!!

I just came across this now, all be it five years later. I'm toying with replacing my spent printer and this is one of the most informative reviews that I've seen. I reckon that it could be applied to other high end models As well? I think as an amateur I'll stick with the 'bog standered' A4 with a scanner and use a lab for the larger prints. Thanks for helping me decide 👍

Thanks ! That was a great review !

It also prints A2, which is slightly wider than 17x22. It's 16.5x23.5 or something like that. Using custom sizes you can make a 17x24 apparently. You'd need to cut it from a bigger sheet though, which is awkward and expensive. I've decided I am going to get the 1000. I've been fighting between the older, smaller (but same ink) Pro-1, an Epson P800, or this. I've had a play and looked at all their outputs, the canons are much more prints imo. The CO seems to really help with pigment inks. I hate not having the Epson roll paper support, but a borderless 17x22 matted and framed does make a good piece I can sell for £1000, at £100 production costs. Making a £900 profit per photograph makes a printer like this very worthwhile.

I don't need it, but now I want it... Thank you Jared getting me closer to divorce.

Having maximum control of the process is always a good thing.

Now it is missing a direct comparison between the Canon vs Epson printers, between the 13'' and the 17'' on both brands, also dye vs pigments and diferent prices... I am talking about the Epsons P400, P600 and P800 and the Canon Pixmas from the P100 to this new one...

Awesome review. Thanks

thank you. i learnt a lot and agree totally with you.

Great video Jared. If only I could afford that printer. Or maybe you could do a video like a buying guide for budget photo printers?

Thx Jared, realy nice video. Print quality is stunning. To bad it's so expensive.

I'm strongly considering buying this, and one of my biggest concerns was ink cost. If I buy this printer, I'll use your link, since you effectively answered my questions through this review!

Very thorough and informative video.

Very informative...thanks. I have an Epson 4900 that is now a 120 pound paperweight. If this Canon model was capable/adaptable for roll printing, I'd be tempted to give it a try. I'm a little gun-shy with Epson right now.

I wish I could like that more than once so helpful. Just made me figure out I didn’t need it............but imma get it anyway lol. Thanks for the review

Who in their right mind would give this video a thumbs down? insane. This video was informative and fantastic. Filled in a lot of blanks for me

This guy is great! And no commercial!!!

Kudos for spending time lately on the subject of printing. I'm learning a lot and really appreciate the insight into an overlooked part (generally online) of photography. Thanks.

Really good... been considering print at home.

Well, after watching this excellent video and made my math cost vs benefit having this printer at home is not a good business decision to buy it. Thanks for the information.

I've had a lot of problems with ordering prints, even if you calibrate your monitor the prints always end up different. Lucky for me I know someone who bought a $10k printer, and I use that now.

Great video, very informative.

Love videos like these!

ok, I'm a very amateur photographer and when i started binge-watching printer videos today, though I'm not rich by any means, I was soooo glad that the printer "only" costs $1,300 USD. Before watching I asked myself, "alright, this new printing obsession will likely cost me about $3000 USD". Will definitely be getting one of this in the near future. Would love to be able to gift a picture to family or friends.

Beautiful works here!

Love the Fro..Bro :)

Thank You - for the best presentation Video !

Great video.. I'm really interested to know about the print head? what is the likelihood that you'll need it replacing and at what cost? Thanks very much.

What a nice printer. I will get one soon.

great video Jared ;-)

Such a great review thanks! This is a printer I want to invest in, maybe in a few years once I'm making a good amount from my business. For now I'll stick with the canon 100 cause of cost

Great summary on home printing vs. lab. If someone is not making money to justify the printer, it’s like keeping an expensive car fueled. I always look at the cost of ink.

Damn good review! Thanks!

Great review, but I wonder if the printhead has to be replaced after so many uses. If so that could also be considered an expense not mentioned in the cost of prints.

Another great review. Although it's off on a bit of a tangent, it would be great to see a tutorial on mounting photos printed at home. I might just be an idiot but I can never get it right.

Hey Jared, I'm bald but I still can appreciate a good fro. Great detailed and insightful review- best one out in the ether I think. I had been rolling this investment around in my head for a while. Your detailed breakdown of costs really helped in deciding which way to go (I've been fairly satisfied with the lab work I've done). Best regards, Dr Dave.

I would like to know how the 1000 compares with the 100, which I am presently considering buying. Great review, and! love your rug lol.
