The Pixma PRO-100 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.

These critical ink balancing principles are derived from Canon's expertise in imaging technology, as well as the familiar colors of life that people see and remember on a daily basis. The second is the balancing of color reproduction, tonal gradations, and uniform glossiness. The genius and power of the OIG System is truly showcased when your image is printed, exhibited, and is seen exactly as you envisioned it.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I've now had this printer for over 1 year. I have a few more updates.
Some additional "cons":
1. There are a few quarks to this printer. While this is a network printer, I've noticed that there are many things that *require* you to do from USB exclusively. Examples: Printing directly to disk, printing with Canon's Print Studio Pro (required for using ICC profiles on the Mac with programs light Adobe Lightroom). This appears to be a software limitation. Since the MacBook Pro that I print from is not close enough to the printer, I have to walk it over and connect the USB. Not ideal.
2. The bundled Canon software (such as Image Garden) is not intuitive. It took me quite some time to figure out how to print directly on a disk label. I generally try to avoid using the software. There are other 3rd party programs to print disk labels, but they all cost $$.
3. I was able to successfully connect my printer to Wifi once, but it stopped working shortly after. I didn't have the patience to keep messing with it, so I gave up and ran another Ethernet cable. The Ethernet cable works OK for general printing needs.
A few major "pros" to add:
1. The printer continues to do a fantastic job with prints. The printer doesn't waste much ink and I've easily printed hundreds of photos before having to change the cartridges.
2. If you find yourself doing a lot of printing, cartridges get costly. However, there is a very simple and effective way to refill the cartridges (and reset the chips). Do a search for "Precision Colors"- you will still get fantastic results for a fraction of the cost of ink. I find myself printing a lot more now that I don't have to worry about paying a fortune on cartridges all the time. The prints made by refilling have no discernable difference compared to the OEM ink.
I still strongly recommend this printer. Make sure you are using a good quality paper and ICC profiles. Otherwise your prints will appear darker than what you have on your screen, and some of the colors (like the blues in the sky) may be off or washed out.
***** Original Review Below *****
The main things I shoot are church events, soccer/sports, indoor dance, landscapes, occasional weddings, home studio as well as personal/family pictures. I utilize a web site that allows me to upload and store my pictures. The web site allows me (and clients) to order prints, but it takes over a week to process and receive them. The shipping costs also tend to be significant. Local stores that do 1 hr processing don't always have the level of quality that I'm happy with and sometimes my photos get cropped in a way that I don't like.
Consequently, the primary reason I purchased this printer is because I wanted to be able to print pictures and get a similar or better level of quality that I might get from a professional lab. I am typically printing 4x6 photos but also want to utilize the larger sizes for some of my landscape photography so I can print "fine art". This printer will primarily serve my personal printing needs, but I may occasionally use it to sell prints as well. In fact, prior to purchasing this printer, a profesional photographer was using this same printer "in the field" and selling prints (pictures of kids with the "easter bunny"). That helped me make my decision to go with this printer.
After printing a few batches of photos, here are my general thoughts on this printer:

1. The prints are very good when quality is set to "high". When quality was "standard" the pictures appeared noisy/grainy and did not meet my expectations.
2. When comparing to prints I order online, the quality is on par and possibly even better (when using high quality settings). When comparing to local 1 hr photos, the quality of prints seems more vivid.
3. The prints that I get seem to match what my MacBook Pro displays, but they are slightly darker.
4. The speed of the printer seems quite fast. I easily can batch up 20-30 4x6 prints in the tray (which probably doesn't hold much more than that) and before I know it, the prints are ready to go. I primarily use Adobe Light Room (Mac OSX - Mountain Lion) to do the printing.
5. The digital manual for how to use the printer is very helpful, organized, and well written. Kudos to the technical writers.
6. The bundled software, while not overly intuitive, works almost exactly the same way on both the Mac and PC. There is also a program included called "Creative Park" that appears to let you print things like calendars. However, it also says that if you use non-Canon ink you won't be able to use it. While I plan on using the Canon ink, I don't like that Canon is checking before I use a program.
7. I primarily use a Mac, but sometimes need to print from the PC. I have found no difference in quality or functionality when I use the PC to print (windows 8).
Cons
1. The printer is quite heavy! It even had a "team lift" sticker on the box. This concern is not significant unless you plan on traveling with the printer (which I don't).
2. Due to the heft, this printer literally shakes the stand when printing. Make sure you have something sturdy to set it on.
3. The bundled software does not seem overly intuitive. The icon that it puts on your desktop is "in your face" and takes up a lot of screen real estate when fully expanded. I would have preferred that icon to live in the system tray.
4. The ink cartridges are expensive. However, after doing research I feel that the Pro 100 was the best fit for me- I probably won't be printing more than a few hundred photos a month and preferred the vibrant colors. If I were planning on printing more, I may have opted for the Pixma 1 or 10, which should have an overall lower price per print.
Other
1. The initial set up of the printer took a bit of time. I spent about 20 minutes wondering why I was getting a yellow blinking light- it turns out I didn't have the lever (where the printer head sits) locked down fully. I wasn't able to locate a support phone number which was my first instinct. Fortunately, I went back and double checked everything, and then noticed that the lever was hitting the right hand side of the printer chassis. That prompted me to pull the lever down further. Once I did that, the blinking light went away and I was good to go.
2. It took me a bit to figure out which tray to put the paper in. I encourage you to read the manual, which was very helpful to me. The lower bottom tray on the back is for manual feed, the higher tray toward the top is for auto feed. You also need to make sure you close the feed tray. I keep forgetting to do that, but the print driver is smart enough to know that you didn't close it and will tell you that on your computer screen.
3. I need to read the manual more to figure out how to set up Wifi. I was able to get the printer working on the wired network connection just fine but WiFi configuration seems to be more difficult.
Summary
While I've only had the printer for a brief amount of time, I am quite happy with it so far. There is definitely a bit of a learning curve and set up time required. My main concern was print quality- and this printer delivers! The quality is on par with professional labs and seems to be better than your average "1 hr print" photography that you might find in the local grocery or superstore locations. I'm glad I made the step up to this printer. I think it will meet my needs for a long time to come. This is a fine quality product from Canon!
Ok, now down to the nitty gritty. Setup time from box opened to my first print was about 45 min including installing software and so forth. The profiles for canon papers are not that bad depending on the paper, I tried Luster and Platinum Pro from there line. Luster was not that great, Platinum Pro was better. I also tried some Red River papers last night, I like them better than canon paper and there profiles are better. It feeds my 250gsm Aurora Art paper from the back feed with no problems. Print quality its self was better than my local Walgreens print center so long as you set it to fine, about on par if you set it to normal. Colors where great, purples and blues popped nicely when I was printing some MLP stuff for my daughter, reds and organ look nice too. Black and white is much better than a standard inkjet, but yes the Pro-10 and Pro-1 make better black and white prints (had a friend make me a couple from his studio to compare). Print time was not bad for a high end, on fine setting I hit print and go make a cup of tea, by the time I’m back the page is done. Considering I have some friends with printers that take 5 min a page, I’m pleased with the speed.
The good and bad of what is in the box. Well the power cord is a good length and the documentation is not bad. The USB cord they give you is a joke, it is short, very short, only slightly longer than the printer is wide. I have not tried the tray for printing on a CD. The packaging was good and secure.
Ok let’s talk value. When I ordered I was arguing between a good price point and the all-out performance of a Pro-1. I don’t print that much, some photos for my cube at my day job, some of my semi-pro photos that I sell on line and a little here and there for family. As such I did not feel that I could justify the price of a Pro-1 and figured I would try the Pro-100 and see if it met my needs. My needs are more than met. For the price point the Pro-100 cannot be beat. I am more than pleased with the purchase and with the rebate it is even better.
Word on the rebate. You need to send a full copy of the receipt (showing order number and that you paid), yes Amazon is an authorized retailer, it is a good idea to pre-register the rebate and send the whole set of bar code and SN on the outside of the box and it runs fairly smooth. DO NOT send the upc on the inner flap, DO NOT peel the label off the cardboard, send the cut out cardboard.
Hope that was helpful.

Oh and it really does turn heads when people come to visit, she's pretty ;)
I've been using this printer for many years for my business and is the best one so far.
It's been working hard for me ! my great partner. This time it lasted for 4 years.
I love that it prints large size papers.
