Just bought the Pixma pro-100. I find this to be the most comprehensive video on the Pixma Pro 100. Keep up the awesome work!

Thank you so much, Jose. I used this video yesterday to help me with the setup of the Canon Pixma Pro-100. Don't think I could have done it without your help, being a 77 year old guy with no geek talents.

It was a big help having someone who knows what they are doing joining me during my own setup... Had to come back because I sometimes forget to like and that's the very least I can do.

My new Canon Pixma PRO 100 arrived today. I couldn't ignore the $250 rebate for this printer so I'm glad you've made this video.

Thank you 🙏 Jose! I just completed my PRO-100 set up and your video was a great 👍 help! Appreciate your effort in making the detailed video and sharing on social platform.

Thanks dude for letting know important aspects of the Pixma Pro 100 setup and other basics. I think new users of such printer finding this video useful.

Even tho I was replacing my old Canon printer I still found graphics/text confusing so I found YOU. I'm up and running just fine. I'll be back to review the refill section when I get down some of the ink. Thank you so much!

Thank-you, for such a great tutorial, this is my first printer ever and you have really helped me.

Thank you Jose... first Canon printer for me, your video is timeless in that Canon seems constant in it's set up routine and formats... very thoughtfully and considerately recorded and provided... continuing success and best wishes from the mile high city...

what a great tutorial, maybe one of the best if not the best, Im not talking just printers but every single tutorial and review video Ive seen, from a-z the explanation and hands on is superb, nothing was missed. Experience and experience its what you have Sir, I just bought this printer on a deal with a dslr and the printer came to be $100, bought it from someone but its brand new, close and sealed box, just have to register for warranty. My first search that appeared on KZfaq was You Sir and Im not searching for anyone else about this printer and maybe any other printer that I buy in the future, You are that good and I'm sticking with you for my printing needs. I will follow the video again tomorrow to connect my printer, I feel good I can do it with your help. Gracias for your time in this exelent video.

You have a new fan. I am an artist looking to do prints of my work and you have helped greatly with your knowledge of printers. Thank you so much Jose.

Hey, Canon should hire this guy, he is on point. A long video but very informative.

I just bought this printer to print my art for sale, watched you videos thank you, subscribed in hope to learn more since I am pretty new to this. I hope to be able to print on heavier stock paper, and want to learn about your ink refill techniques to see if this is worth for me to do or not since I don't print huge amounts but I don't know yet how many say 8x10 prints I can do before I run out of black (mainly print B&W).

Thank you! As an update, a chip reseter dose exhist now! Percision inks sells them as dose ink owl.

Thank you Jose, you've taking all of the guess workout of setting up my printer when it arrives, because of your video I can feel confident that I can do a proper setup. Thank you again

Thank you so much for making this video, it made the installation so much easier, very detailed instructions. Really appreciate it.

Thank you for this video. I had no problem following the instructions up to connecting to the wifi. Only reason why I had a problem was because Google Fiber modems don't have source buttons. I had to call Canon and have them walk me through connecting with a USB cable first, then once everything was set up, disconnecting to go wireless. I'm up and running!

I got my Pro 100 when I purchased a Canon camera. I liked this printer instantly when I printed my 1st image. Just so you know, I profiled my monitor and created custom printer profiles for each type of paper using Color Munki Photo. I'm liking the images from this printer more so than from my Epson R1900. Of course more printing and testing is needed, but I really dig this printer. I think to pull out all this printer has to offer, one needs to profile their monitor and printer. But as shown here you can use Canon's ICC profiles and get really nice images.

Thx for this video.. just bought mine yesterday from a local person via Craigslist.. thanks Canon for that rebate.. got mine for a steal!

I just purchased this printer and I’m slightly terrified of messing it up. Thank you so much for these videos. I’ve never adjusted profiles before, or installed plugins into Photoshop 😶. Hopefully, I can find more information in the playlist. 😊

I'm a newbie! 2023 !!! Just got my brand new Canon pro 100 for $225 .... From Facebook marketplace.

Love your level of detail and patience with printer setups!

I didn't have the patience to watch this for an hour, but from what I saw it looked informative.

This my Custom Made ICC for the PRO-100 for CANON PRO Luster paper: Make sure you turn off COLOR MATCHING in the PRO-100 Driver. Then allow your Editing APP to use my ICC profile. I am now using Precisioncolors NEW inks for this printer SO I will be making a new profile for anyone who is also using PC inks. OR.... you can get a slew of FREE ones from PC for this Printer for many papers and many other printers!. www.sendspace.com/file/wp6gkz

Thank you for your excellent review and instructional video on this printer. You are providing a wonderful service to the community.

Jose, just picked up a NEW Canon Pro 100 off Ebay for 115.00. I will be picking up the unit myself so I was able to save on shipping cost. I will be using your video to get everything setup. I'll be taking a look at your Precision Color videos as I will need the resetable cartridges from PC.

Incredibly helpful. Thank you. I really appreciate your video.

Bought the pinter last week. Can't wait to get it! Watching this video to help prep me for the setup process so major thanks!! Love your videos. Just as an FYI, with the WPS option. Essentially, you push the WPS button on your router (if it has one) and on your printer (if the software doesn't do it for you) which then connects the two devices together. Kind of like pairing a mouse, or wireless headset. However, for security flaws within how WPS actually works, it's typically not recommended. Though, probably not really much of concern for an at home application. However, the option you chose to connect through WiFi via the USB cable was the better option anyway.

Thank you so much for this! It helped me immensely!

Just purchased this printer, your video was a great help in setting it up and getting it going. Thanks so much!

Thanks Jose. I’m hoping this video will help me when I setup the pro-200.

Great job on this video. Very in depth and helpful. Really helpful so thanks indeed!!

Thank you Jose, this was a very informative and well done video...keep up the great work!!!!!!!!

Wonderful, thanks Jose! It made setting up way, way easier for me.

Thank you for the video! I learned some good tips about the drivers...

Very nice video, thank you for taking the time to do this

Thank you for making this video. It helped me so much!

thumbs up for you for the effort of this video sir!

Excellent set up of the new Canon Pro100. I came away with getting my new printer up and running as soon as it arrives. Your instructions were excellent and your screen savers are breath taking. Are they your pics? I am looking forward at your next video.

Thanks for the video Joe it was a great help to me

Thanks Jose for the video it was a great help to me.

Thank you! Very helpful video to install my Canon Pixma PRO-10. I actually thought my printer was the 100 series, but it was really the 10 series. I realized something was up when the ink cartridges did not match up. Regardless, great video :)

GREAT WORK ... BLACK AND WHITE AMAZING ... THANK YOU

Very glad that I looked at this video. Will be very helpful when I setup unit. Most excited to see b/w capability. Beautiful rendition you had of the gentleman. Are you finding a particular paper that is more to your liking over others when doing b/w work.

OK, again..thank you for your video. It being 2016, I'm sure very little has change with exception to OS..which is now running Win 7 Home. Sure drivers have been developed and will be hitting up Cannon in the near future. I've just unpacked the unit and will set it up once I go over your presentation and of course..the little literature in hard-copy (?) and CD. Will save video in my Google folder with your extra video uploads to be studied. PS: Also save the link to your Ink folks.

Bravo, Meistro! Excellent instructional video!

Thanks for an awesome video on setting up the canon pro 100. Followed along as best as possible and everything seemed to work well. ...... until I got creedy and calibrated it. Oh boy did things blow up after that. One of my reference images which without calibration printed in a soft blueish tone now prints brown. I deleted the profile and calibrated again. Same baffeling results. Any thoughts/ideas what I am doing wrong?

This was super helpful, thank you! :)

Jose, Great video. I bought this printer a few months back, and am totally in love with it. However, it was your comment about the XPS version of the driver that offered a useful insight. Thanks! I ran across your video on setup and installation while exploring refillable carts, and after having just purchased a set of inks and the new (it appears) resetter - so, if I understand the system correctly, no need to disable ink level monitoring. Have you considered a video on refilling ink cartridges for the pixma-pro 100? NurseBob

Jose, thank you very much for sharing the details in using the Photoshop printing preferences, the Canon plugin, and all the details with the black and white options, as well. I've only printed in a traditional film darkroom. I was/am still a little overwhelmed with all the settings in our digital realm, but you've provided me with some very helpful starting points. Do you have any black & white videos that are Pro-100 specific? Thank you.

Found what Canon refers to as the back tray is the top. The back is the manual feed!

Can I avoid all the pc setup and just do wireless printing from my iPad?

Thanks for you wonderful tutorials. I just bought a new canon pro 100 still in the box, however, I have an IMAC computer with OSX 10.11.6 el capitan installed, that the monitor has not been color calibrated yet. Should I wait to setup my printer until I get the computer monitor calibrated? Also, what calibration system do you suggest? thanks djl

I believe that is the inner cover for loading the cd tray to print on cds.

Thank you, this video was very useful.

Joe, thank you! You made setting this up a breeze straight from the box!

Great videos Joe! I just picked up a canon pro 100, but was missing ink and a print head...emailed canon and they are sending me a replacement but it's backordered (which I hear could be months). But in the mean time I've been learning all sorts of great information. Thanks for all the videos!

Super helpful, thanks jose!

It is really very beautiful! But now I'm confused.. - what's better? dye ink printer/print or pigment printer/print

Your videos are good information. Thx. I am actually meeting tonight with someone from Craigslist who has this printer for sale. My Epson 1400 (my dream printer: inexpensive yet nice.) has clogged print head. I gave up on it after trying remedies and sending it off. I would love to find some use for it other than disposal. Such a waste. I love the options of a wide format printer. But just don't use it often. I am using Epson 837...which is my first Epson which does not have the straight through feed. I would always opt for the straight through feed if available. CD printing is important; and I don't look for that to be a feature on new printers. I have no knowledge of using printer profiles. Even the settings in Photoshop are confusing to me. So I hope I am not making a mistake in buying this Canon Pro 100. Also I have never done screen calibration. I have always used after market inks with all my Epsons. The 1400 is the only one I had trouble with. Any advice on after market inks for the Canon Pro 100?

Great instructional video, Thanks

Thank you Rodriguez for that video it was very informative.I would like to know were I can fine the down load, the stand are lone version of studio pro for the canon pro -100. Thank you.

I assume the Pro-10 is nearly the same, right? Thanks for sharing all you know. YOU ARE APPRECIATED!

Hey Joe, my Canon Pixma Pro 100 was working fine over a year. Then for some reason I treid to download and install new driver. Now it no longer works. Tried to reinstall the drivers from the CD and it still wouldn't work. The printer icon is on the devices & printers but as default but anything I try to print the printer is nowhere to be found. What happend?

Hi Jose, just got a used printer from ebay. The magenta red light doesnt turned on. What happened? Have i been conned?😢

I just ordered this printer from Best Buy last night! I would imagine it's a newer model with improvements since we are in 2018 going into 2019. Any how, it was recently marked down to $275, and Canon has a $200 mail in rebate. Great printer for $75 + tax. :)

Sad to say I have spent the last hour trying to install Print Studio Pro plug-in using the step by step Canon instructions. I get the PSP downloaded and find it in the Canon Plug-in folder. Found the PSP Can you do a video and show how to install PSP onto Photoshop CC 2020 and Lightroom CC? I get all the way to the Canon Plug-in folder and PSP install button, but when I click on it I don't get what the Canon written instructions show as my choices for where to install it. I don't get the "Do you want to install PSP on Photoshop CC 2020?" prompt.

hey Jose I got everything figured out the only problem I'm having is when I set up my printer on a network and I disconnect the USB cable it's not on the network I can't get it to stay on the network for some reason it only works with the USB cable plugged into the computer and the printer

Great video Joe, thanks. I'm not sure if I understand if the color cast on the first B&W print resolved itself upon drying and/or whether there was any difference between the two B&W prints at all? My new Pro-100 prints beautifully but about a minute after ejecting the print, always goes through some mechanical gyrations that don't sound like a head cleaning but more like it's trying to feed another sheet, i.e., the feed rollers are turning, maybe. Only sending 1 copy and there are no error messages. Sound normal? Ink usage doesn't seem excessive.

This is a great video, but it’s for PC users. Can anyone recommend a similar video for MACs running OSX?

Hi Jose, I have followed these steps numerous times but the printhead does not move to the center. I then found your video, repeated the steps twice more and again the printer head did not move to the center. What would you suggest? I appreciate your help.

The setup CD that candlelight the printer wouldn't work on my laptop. I went to Canon website and downloaded the driver from there and the printer works but but I am not seeing a lot of the steps you have demonstrated in the video. I do not see a place where I can make paper selection etc. In Photoshop, setup print or nozzle cleaning. Please advise.

Thanks Joe. I have looked at those videos and send a small print job to the printer at least every couple of days. Do you recommend checking the B&W box in the printer driver? Looks like it's "available" even if I disable color management and let LR control the printer.

you are the genius..thank you verryy muchh

new to the pixma pro 100 and ALL my printer profiles are hypersaturating and looking neon, any suggestions?? [regardless of using software or printer to control the colour profile]

great info & instruction.... thanks

Hi, I watched a few of your videos last night. Very informative! It seems like you have a lot of printers. I'm strongly considering buying myself a printer. I've always loved photography, but was discouraged from becoming one professionally by my dad. I have a 5Dm3, and have a good number of gorgeous photos of my kids that I'd like to print for my office. I recently visited a friend with a pro-100 and was very impressed by how great his prints looked. Of course, now I'm lost in research, not sure what to get. They're practically giving the pro-100 away, which makes that very attractive. But, should I get an Epson? Is pigment ink that much better? I've also been looking at the Epson Stylus Pro 3880, and Stylus Photo R3000. Space is a factor, and so is price. I live in NYC. My local photo shop said the 3880 is currently on sale for $829. and I noticed Epson has a $200 mail in rebate on it, though I'm not sure if that's in addition or not. Canon has a $300 rebate on the pro-100 now, so I could get it for $98. I would love to hear your advice. Hopefully sooner rather than later. Thanks so much! Also, I'm fascinated by your ink-harvesting! I want to do that, too!

Very informative and well done! You should give lessons on how to do KZfaq tutorials!

I just got a pro 100 and I am following all your videos. Thank you. I got a canon S9000 and it tells me the ink is full. They charge over $100.00 to clean it. I wonder if you know how I can do this myself. Thank you

Hi Joe, been watching your channel/videos for ages and been putting off buying the Canon PRO 100S because it looks to complicated for me, But gave in last week and bought it as regards using it let’s just say it’s going to take time, But do you mind if I ask you a question, Do I need to change the print head every time I change the ink?, Thanks Joe,

I cannot open print studio pro. There is not even the icon in my Canon Utilities folder. The download worked well but that's it.

Joe, Thanks so much for your videos...just got a pro 100 and they help so much. My question is with the new version of LIghtroom....I get a 16 bit printing option in the native dialog. Does this work the same as the canon plug in you talk about in the video....quality etc. And does that mean I don't need to use the canon plug in to get the same results??

Hi there, i've just set the printer up...everything's great but when i print a photo, i see some black lines on one of the printed photo.....looks like trimming lines but how's that possible??? I've tried everything but i can't fix it! these lines are always on the side thant came last out of the printer!! Could you help me please??? I don't know what to do!!!

Hello José Thanks for all the helpful information about this printer. I do have a question Can I print on canvas with this printer?

When I follow your steps in this video and the previous, my black and whites still look hint green tone & not bright enough (highlights were low). I have Color Correction set as "none." I use the Canon 1/2 Photo Paper Luster as that's what I have. I used the Plugin through LR and did not check Black and White Photo box. The photo had some deep dark blacks and after it printed I noticed a few spots looked pink like a finger print almost they were small but it was a few places in the dark blacks. When I also attempted to do it just through LR with out the plugin, when it showed me a preview, the preview was waaaay on the Cool side so I optd not to print it to be safe. I use the same settings besides your custom profile. Will let it dry over night and look at it during daylight. Any thoughts? Thanks for the videos though!

I tried to print someting and it started printing from another printer. I think because it's also wifi. But I set the pro 100 as a default. What happened??

Hello. Can you please help me. I have installed the print head and the inkts al flashing red. That's oke. When I close the lid the head starts to move a bit. Than it makes a squuk noise and the orange led begins to flash. What can I do? It keeps doing this. And the connection to my PC doesn't really work. I used an old USB to connect it to the PC.

Very informative, thanks. Unfortunately, I've been unable to find an 'unboxing/initial setup' vid for the Pro-1, which I just purchased. If you know, is the initial setup similar to that of the Pro-100? The printers appear quite similar.

My HP Photosmart 8250 printer just died after 9 years and although it was pretty good for the price I may want to get a somewhat nicer one this time because I like to create all my own business marketing materials and I'm thinking of selling prints of my artwork and putting my images on jewelry. You have a new subscriber! I was also wondering whether this printer will take cardstock and polymer shrink sheet? It looks like it has incredible picture quality, but the set-up looks pretty technically complex, especially identifying which drivers are which! I hope once it's set up it doesn't require that much clicking around and selecting, and that it won't give alot of error messages. I noticed it ran into a roadblock with some of your editing programs and you seem fairly experienced with this kind of equipment. Is it compatible with Gimp? Is the ink in these more advanced models permanent or does it still run if a drop of water falls onto it. Also, how do dye and pigment in inkjet printers differ? Is one more permanent than the other?

Great Job! clear and to the point. I got 4 of these Models and 3 already broke down. All Different reasons. Canon shipped 3 refurbished ones back to me. They are not in perfect condition as when I got my new ones. All 3 Pro printers where under 100 page yield. Thats not very much use I understand, and I got really upset because not one but 3 broke down. 1) No power, 2) New ink unrecognized, and finally 3) Paper Jam. Wow... I don't recommend anyone buying these type printers. they are unreliable.

hi jose, have you ever come across a time where the power light went off during set up. i only noticed it had lost power because the carts didn't light up.

I figured it out thank you.

I'm having trouble getting it to start printing.. I'm getting 2 yellow lights. I think one of the problems might be that I don't have a cd drive on my computer, so I'm not sure if I have all of the drivers/software needed to get this to run correctly. I tried to download everything from Canons website, but I'm missing something. I'm a Mac user, any help would be great. Thanks

I just got one of these. It seems like it goes through a whole process of things every time I send a print to it. Could it be doing a cleaning cycle before every print? It usually carries on for about 45-60 seconds before finally pulling in a sheet and starting to print. Any ideas??

Hello Jose! This was great! Just set mine up and ready to work on an updated portfolio. I was interested in your custom profile, but it seems to be not available anymore. Is it still available? Thanks!

Hi Jose,I purchased my Pro100 18 months ago, i was using the lightroom print module which i was not happy with and what i had on the screen was not like my prints, so i had to do something, i have now calibrated my screen and now intend to download the canon print software, i have just watched your video on the printer setup and have to say it was a joy to watch and very informative a great tutorial. What i wanted to ask Jose is in the canon download page there is downloads for Drives and Software separately i,m not sure if you need to download both or if you download one of the drivers the software is included in the download. Is it possible you could advise Jose. Thank you. (Alan Winton) subscriber.

You skipped over the importance of screen calibration and printing a test image using a given paper type and using the values of the best match of the test multiple photo print out to calibrate your printer to your monitor as closely as possible. Ah!You did mention it before printing the B/W image which was beautiful!

Good day Mr. Rodriguez. I print photos for sale, benefiting a local charity here in the Philippines. I am having a problem with my Pro 100 (I use only Canon Original Ink). I am seeing light spots in the 100% black areas of my black and white prints. The spots are large like a finger print and appear exactly in the same spot, print after print of this one portrait I am working on. The spots are about the size of a finger print, but I handle my Canon Pro Luster Paper wearing disposable gloves and try to touch only the paper edge. I do not see this problem on any of my coloured prints and only in the 100% black areas of my B&W prints. I thought maybe it is an artefact in the photo file, but can see nothing on my screen @300% in LightRoom. Have you come across this problem before Sir?

Thank you so much for this video.

Hi Jose - Your videos are so valuable! I am an illustrator and would like to start printing my digital artwork - mainly on thick cardstock, greeting cards, multi-media paper. Do you suggest think printer for those kinds of things or something else?
