I agree as a Pro 10 owner. Got it secondhand, and needed a new print head. 500 total and it was easy to get refills and cartridge resets.

I bought the PRO-100 few years ago now. Also shoot with the Canon R5. This morning I printed a photo that was taken in 1997 with a Canon EOS 650 35mm film camera. It was a photograph of my grandmother. I scanned the negative with an EPSON scanner and did some editing on it. Printed using the PRO-100 and Canson Infinity Edition Etching Rag 310gsm paper. Turned out fabulous. My mother was at my house and I gave it to her for her birthday August 3rd. Also my grandmother's birthday was August 2nd. So great way to bring back some memories. My mother had tears in her eyes.

I have a Pro -100 and a Pro-10 for about 5 years. I refill both with ink from Precision Color Inks out of Canada. Mike, the owner works extremely hard to make his inks as compatible as possible with OEM. The biggest difference between the 100’s dye inks and the 10’s pigment inks are longevity. The Pro-10 pigment inks last Much longer without fading than the dye based Pro-100. With either you’ll get the longest lasting images with OEM inks. The pigment printers of Canon clog much less than Epson. I’ve actually went weeks without printing with no issues. Due to some unforeseen circumstances I went 1.5 years without printing and was able to revive my Pro-10 with some help of a KZfaq video and a good head cleaning. Works good as new. Canon is not just trying to sell more ink with the Pro-10 / 300. Pigment inks are a whole different route. I was very Blessed to recently pick up a brand new in the box Pro-100 for $30!! Setting it aside for when I need it someday.

The dye is 200 and pigment is 300. 300 is archival pigment ink. trying to get why you think the 200 is better.

@@xpez9694 He's confused.

So imagePROGRAF the pro 10 and 300 is better for long lasting because it uses pigment ink (oil based)?, I want to sell art so I want them to last long

@@mei295 Yes, if you sell your photos go with pigment-based ink. For personal use, dye-based inks will be fine. You don't want someone's print fading on them and dye-based inks are much more likely to fade.

@@wademorales thank you!!

Well, what you mentioned is generally correct, but not quite accurate. the new Canon inks for pro200 has near archival quality (according to Canon it is designed to last for 100 years) despite being dye ink. There are many factors that influence the long-lasting quality, certain pigment inks can also be unstable. Also, the choice of paper and display location is quite essential as well. So I would suggest studying better and make conscious decisions depends on what will be the application.

@@RA-cr2rq I think you need to do your research. Even the pro 100 claimed 100+ years but that doesn’t mean in all conditions. Straight from canons website here’s their claim on their chroma life 100 ink. Album Storage Lifespan of up to 100 Years With ChromaLife 100 technology, your prints remain vivid in both color and quality for up to 100 years*. * Based on accelerated testing by Canon in dark storage under controlled temperature, humidity and gas conditions, simulating storage in an album with plastic sleeves. Canon cannot guarantee the longevity of prints; results may vary depending on printed image, drying time, display/storage conditions, and environmental factors. See www.usa.canon.com/chromalife100 for additional details. Basically don’t put any extended amount of light on these prints. If you do it’s already been proven over an over that the prints will fade. That’s why you go with Pigment based inks. They hold up better. If you plan on hanging your prints in a house where they are going to be exposed to light and other elements dye inks break up and fade much faster. Canons definition of 100 years is more so in a photo album. They are not considered archival. If you want archival you go with Lucia pigment inks which they claim up to 200 years in an album and around 60 years behind glass. But many people who use pro 100 printers have claimed that their prints fade quickly when hanging them in their home. Both the pro 100 and 200 use chroma life 100 inks. I stand by my statement, people who purchase your prints will hang them on their wall, they won’t put them in a photo album.

In the NorthEast US, 13x19 prints cost me about $8. A tiny bit above your 5 E price

because the carts are too expensive and nobody buys my prints lol.

For pro-300, I'd say ... $3~5 maybe

@@BingLiang $3 to $5 for one 6 x 4 postcard ?? Are you kidding me ??

@@BingLiang It's more like 25 cents for ink plus the price of paper.

Sorry for being so late, i recommend you to buy the Pro-10s, try to find a second hand one.

Hi if you can still get a pro 10 buy it because you can refill the cartridges very easily,search KZfaq for how to refill and buy the refill kit

Sorry for being so late, i just bought 10 cartridges from Amazon US for 160$, for Pro-300. You should buy Pro-10s or Pro-300, they use pigment inks which holds the colours longer than dye inks. If your budget is higher, then buy an A2 size inkjet, i always feel the A3+ is too small.

外观我觉得pro10特别好看，问题买不到了。

哪个颜料干的快啊！之前有不用就不行了，（别的牌子打印机🖨️）所以这次打算购买佳能！谢谢你！）

您是先画好，扫描，再打印出来吗？如果是这样，就不必纠结颜色，染料和颜料墨水的色彩表现相差不大。如果您是数码作画，再打印的话，染料墨水搭配一些艺术纸则能在一定程度上还原出晕染的笔触效果。

@@alienrobotmonster 染料墨水更快干

非常感激您的回复，我就是不知道颜料不一样，效果那个更贴近画呢？如果一个月不打印！会不会干了？要重新买过！pro 200价位不错，但是如果论长远打算，他们那个refill 的颜料相对便宜呢？感激你！

Hi, thanks for your support. 5B00 often linked to the ink absorber pad issues, you may need to change the pad or do some relevant reset or something. Hope that is helpful.

@@BingLiang Yes, we've done the cleaning, except that we still get the "waste bin full" message when trying to print -- the ink absorber didn't get cleaned quickly enough, and the second error occurred, shutting down the printer. I need to know how to reset the code, so that the printer will print again and not be "stuck" on the code. Does that make sense?

@@juliesalazar6280 wow that sounds like a serious problem, i don't have any experience with that, i think you already tried long press the triangle button thing, if that don't do anything, i really don't have any other idea, sorry. 😬

@@BingLiang That's ok. Thank you for responding so quickly. I appreciate that. 🙂

951 Euros for Pro-100s?😯

Of course it is great, i really want to sell the pro 300 and get a pro 500, because the A3+ size is too small

@@BingLiang really? Thank you so much

可以退货嘛😂
