First of all - this printer is large.
Amazon ships it with their freight delivery, and at close to 100 pounds, two adults have to carry it, two handed each. Even after unboxing, the unit is over 75 pounds, so plan on assistance placing it where you want it.
The instructions are pretty clear about removing the various orange tape that hold all the various mechanisms from getting destroyed, as well as how to install the print head. The same applies to installing the 12 ink carts. -- This job will take close to 1/2 an hour!
Next, when you turn the unit on for the first time, it will vibrate the ink carts, and then start to fill the reservoir for each color, and then prime the print heads. It will be VERY NOISY while it does this - but don't say to yourself 'uh-oh. did I make the right choice', THIS IS A ONE-TIME OPERATION, and it will be considerably more quiet in actual use. Plan on another half an hour.
When this finishes, it comes to setting up your network.
- I'll just have to assume that the instructions for USB hookup is simple and straightforward. WiFi may be a different story. My printer is in another room, about 20+ feet away, so WiFi is my choice - and need.
- I'll also assume the Windows set up is also easy, but, being a Mac guy with the new Mac Silicon M-Series chip, it didn't go quite like the instructions suggest. At this point, I would suggest strongly that you call Canon Support (get their number at the Canon web site) and have them walk it through with you. I have always found them very helpful, supportive, and most importantly, considerate.
- In my case, from dialing to printing, it took about half an hour, because I was jumping from room-to-room, as some of the setup requires both using your computer as well as the small but legible screen on the printer. It'll be worth it!
- For both Mac and Windows, if your computer is still the Canon Support page, look up the firmware update for the Pro-1000, and install it now. This will give you the 45"+ plus printing instead of limiting it to 25" or so, as well as who knows what else.
- Also, at this point, if you're going to be using other papers as well as the Canon brand, I would install the appropriate profiles.
Now, make a print. Do that 16x20 you've always wanted to do. Or that 17x30. Just be prepared to be wowed!
Everything I've printed so far has matched (almost) perfectly with my calibrated monitor, and is consistent with the prints made with my older Canon Pro-10 and the hundreds of prints I've made from that.
It's a great printer. I'm glad I decided to buy it.

Like having a Print Shop at Home
Bought the Imageprograf (horrible name) on an incredible Black Friday deal and after 3 months it’s definitely been one of the best splurges I’ve ever made. I sell graphic prints and do photography on the side and no matter what I print on this thing it comes out like it was done in a professional print shop. I’ve done archival quality graphic prints, photography prints, vinyl decals, and even greeting cards and everything comes out like it’s done professionally as long as you take the time to set-up the correct printing profiles based on the paper you use.As to the downsides, yes it’s expensive for a printer considering the cost of ink is nearly half the cost of the printer itself. Do yourself a favor and disable the auto-off setting and this will help reduce ink waste due to the printer cleaning itself every time it’s turned back on. I also recommend using this printer at least a couple times a week so that the print head doesn’t dry-out and force you to do a cleaning cycle. Lastly, if you’re concerned about repair down the road you can purchase a 2 or 4 year extended warranty directly from canon which includes free shipping both ways (a must due to how heavy this thing is). Overall I’m happy with the purchase but if you’re on the fence wait until Black Friday and see if Amazon has another deal.
