Why I Got A Canon Pixma Pro 10

I have had an Epson R3000 printer since it came out in 2011. I was getting puddled photo black ink marks on my Ultra Premium Luster Paper prints. Really liked the print detail, color and contrast. Heck I've used Epson printers since the mid 90's. I was getting exactly what is seen here http://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3384029
Must be getting surplus ink on the print head. Tried cleaning it but I didn't get the job done. Would like a removable print head. Never used anything but Epson inks and paper.
Just couldn't take it any more. Started printing today with the Canon Pixma Pro 10. Seems to produce very nice prints IMO. Love the Canon Print Studio Pro plug-in for Photoshop.
Please understand I not complaining. Just decided to move on...

Canon Pixma pro 100 Ink how to identify the black cartridges when label was accidently removed

I just started putting a new Canon Pixma Pro 100 printer together- I was not thinking and removed two of the grey (light), and grey cartridges labels. Now I do not know which to put in the slots, I cannot see any gradient by holding them up to the light, and the actual cartridge is not marked. I am soooo dumb, any suggestions.

You got a 50/50 chance. Go for it!

Snow leopard and Canon pixma pro drivers, which one is it recognizing?

I have a new MacBook Pro. I print with Canon Pixma Pro 9000 and 9500.
My question is regarding the print drivers.
I plug both Pixma pros in and the computer recognizes them.
However, I also downloaded the latest print drivers for the two print drivers off the Canon website.
Which printer driver is the computer using? The one that somehow comes with the computer or the one I downloaded from Canon.
Or does it matter? My concern is that I want the paper profiles to be correct.

Can anyone positivly confirm that they have got this printer to work with 10.5.6? I have downlaosed latest drivers from Canon and Apple (on the apple list is says Canon Pro9000 Series II but omits the word PIXMA - and when I get this into the PRINT USING box on add printer and hit 'Add' nothing happens.
We have the Pro 9500 II that we use for proofing and I've got it on a 10.6.5 Mac and it's using the v10.36.2.0 driver that it downloaded from Apple when I connected it.
If your Mac does not see or let you add the printer after manually browsing to it then something is amiss with your Mac. I suggest you try a reset of the printing system using the following procedure.
1. Unplug the Pro9000 USB cable from the Mac
2. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
3. Move your mouse over the Printers list
4. Hold down the Control button and click the mouse
5. Click the "Reset printing system ..." popup
6. Restart your Mac
7. Reconnect the Pro9000 USB cable to the Mac
The Mac should automatically add the printer to the Print & Fax pane, assuming the printer is being seen by the Mac - and you are definitely connecting the USB cable of the Pro9000 directly to the Mac.
If the Mac does not add the printer automatically then open System Profiler (Applications > Utilities) and select the USB entry under Hardware in the left pane. The right pane will then show all the USB busses on the Mac. The printer should be shown connected to one of these busses. If it is not shown then try another USB cable and another USB socket on the Mac.

I need to reinstall my Canon Pixma Pro 9500 MK 2 printer on my iMac running Mavericks. It looks for software but Apple cannot find. The driver is available on my computer. Is there a way I can force the installer to use the available driver?

Canon Pixma Pro-100 printer ejects 3.8 in of a 4X6 paper and prints only 2.2 in of the image printing from Photoshop CS6, I'm sure I set everything correctly - what could I be missing?

Using Mac Pro running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) & editing & printing from Photoshop CS 6.
Have new Canon Pixma Pro-100 printer and set it up yesterday. First thing printed was a
document from MS Word (a letter) 8.5 X 11 plain paper - this came out OK. Next I fire up
Photoshop and open a 4 X 6 inch image to do a test print. I set it up in the print dialog as
4X6 paper, Canon's Pro Glossy paper profile, rear tray, standard print quality, Photoshop
manages the color. I load the paper in the rear tray close the covers and hit print. Now, when
it starts to print the printer moves about 3.8 inches of paper out of the printer and starts printing
on the remaining 2.2 inches then spits the paper out. It does this in Photoshop (any image it doesn't
matter), and it does it printing from Capture NX. I have been able to get it to print on the paper
correctly using Apple's Preview program but that that's not going to do me any good. I was on
the phone with Canon tech support for about 2 hours and they were completely puzzled suggesting
I would have to use Canon's printing apps instead to print - that doesn't do me any good either.
I want to be able to print from Photoshop. Any one every heard of this or experienced the same
problem? Thanks JamesD!

Hello again. I recognize that a print is good if you like it and bad if you don't, despite what others might say, but I will at least share my experiences. They might help you or others who are following this thread.
My monitor is calibrated with Spyder 3. Gamma 2.2, 6500K, 83 cd/m^2. Contrast at 50%; brightness about 52%. My monitor lets me choose blackness level - it defaults to 50%.
When I print the test image I linked to above, using Lightroom, with no adjustments, my technical output is as follows:
Middle step wedge shows twelve disticnt steps. Whitest step is color of unprinted paper.
It varies from paper to paper, but I can discerne at least the 252 step and on some papers 253 - telling me I have good highlight detail.
On the black side I discerne 8 or 10, nothing lower. (That sounds like what you are reporting).
Artistically I am very happy how my print looks - nice red strawberries, good flesh tones, etc.
One my monitor, the on-screen image is almost identical to the print. I am surprised that you can see the 2 wedge step on screen at a very similar brightness.
I also checked out this B&W test image:
http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/article_pages/bw_printing/bw-test-image-2.html
You are probably aware of this since you are printing with Print Studio Pro, but others may not be.
You can print a series of test images:
find the one that best suits your taste, enter the calibration values in PSP, and save them as a custom setting. Then, each time you want to print recall the setting.
You can do a similar thing in Lightroom using the printer driver and User Templates.
There would be some one-time trial and error to that approach.

Printing Issuse From Lightroom 4 To Canon Pixma Pro 9000 MK II

I have been trying to print from Lightroom 4 to a Canon Pixma Pro 9000 MK II. Whenever I try to print via the front try (for canvas) I get an error message (code 1281) and I cannot print. I have tried a few different papers as well as canvas and all of them give the same error code.
I have also tried printing from Elements 9 with the same problem.
I can print via the front try using Canon's own software, Easy Print Pro, but I cannot soft proof the image first and I cannot the the correct size of image either.
Does anyone have any idea how I can get round this problem?
I have spoken to Canon and they have passed the buck saying that as I can print using thier software it is an Adobe issue.
Printer: Canon Pixma Pro 9000 MKII
Software: Adobe Lightroom 4
Operating System: Lion OSX

The final answer was as per Rikk Flohr's instructions,
Lightroom>Print Module
Print Settings button Bottom Left-hand Panel
Set the Center Pull-down to Quality and Media
Paper Source: Front Tray
I was having difficulty finding these previously, thanks Rikk.

Canon pixma pro 9500 having problems with my print out. colors are glazed and missing colors

canon pixma pro 9500 having problems with my print out. colors are glazed and missing colors
i have prfiled the mac and printer wiht colormunki and uplodated the profile sucessfully
i set the printer to correct icc profile
print out comes out same with glazed colors and missing tones/colors
however when i use the same printer on windows and with light room, following same icc profile, colormunki calibrated profile, the print our are excellent.
i have also tried using printer manage profile using the Mac and Aperture and get same poor prints
can you please assist and thanks

I've a Pro9000 and also use Colormunki successfully.
When I use Colormunki, I calibrate both of my monitors and the printer/paper combination. Colormunki saves the generated profiles to the correct places -- I don't load or change any profiles after that as that would mess-up what the Colormunki had just done for me, and this would likely mess-up the prints.
Though I double-check the settings in the print dialogue, the choice for the printer handling things is already grayed-out. Colorsync handles it all just fine.

Canon pixma pro 100

Hi guys,
I've just received my new canon pixma pro 100 printer & I'm having problems setting up. When powered up the printer instantly made a grinding noise. Switched it off a few times but the print head holder failed to slide along the rails. All stoppers & tapes have been removed so nothing to obstruct the set up process.
Can anyone help or had similar issues?
Thanks in advance.

Photoshop Elenents 13 does not recognize my Canon Pixma Pro Mark II 9000 printer.

Photoshop Elements 13 does not recognize my Canon Pixma Pro Mark II 9000 printer. I get the following error message “The saved printer information is not compatible with this version of Photoshop Elements, or the saved printer is no longer available. You will need to check your printer settings before printing” and I cannot print.

I have been checking my computer files and find that PSE 13 is only the 32 bit system and my computer is a 64 bit system. In PSE 12 I was able to take the Adobe
Twain Driver (Twain 32 bit} in to the Optional Plug-in folder and then my Canon Scanner would work with PSE 12. My printer Canon Pixma Mark II 9000 worked with PSE 12. Now that I have upgraded to PSE 13 neither the scanner or my printer will work. There I no “Optional Plug-in Folder” in PSE 13. Is there some way that I can drag files into PSE 13 that will enable both my scanner and printer to work? My scanner is a Canon Canoscan 8800.
Or must I go back to using PSE 12.

Canon Pixma Pro-100 prints very dark

I see that this is a recuring problem with the Canon Pixma Pro-100, but as nothing I have found online helps I'm asking and are hoping that someone can solve this problem for me.
Just picked up a Pixma Pro-100 today, and installed it on my 2011 iMac 27" (Yosemite) with downloaded drivers from Canon's website to be sure i have the latest ones. I also checked the printers firmware but that's the latest at 1.100. Wether I'm printing via Lightroom or Photoshop; or via Canon Print Studio Pro, My Image Garden, or via LR / PS directly; with- or without PS as color manager; the prints turns out to be much to dark.
I have to set an exposure of +2/3 in LR to be anywhere close to getting the same result as on the screen. I'm also careful to select the right ICC profiles for the correct paper. My monitor is calibrated with an Spyder4pro and I also re-calibrated it during this process to see if that helped.
Well. Long story short; the prints are to dark. So i borrowed my wife's 2013 MacBook Pro (Yosemite) Spyder4pro, and installed the latest drivers from Canon. Again; on this machine the prints are also to dark with about +2/3 to correct for the printer to do something that looks like the monitor. Both monitors are also set to about 30% brightness.
I also have access to an Epson Stylus Photo R3000 and the prints from this comes out much brighter.
Sadly I see that many others also have the same problem. So; here's the question. How do I fix this? Do i have to return the printer again and get a refund? Because this is clearly not good enough.
Solved!

How to print from Lightroom 5 to Canon Pixma pro-100?

Using Lightrooms printmodule with this printer is a big problem for me. Using Cannon Print studio Works, but then you
loose a lot of great functionallity in LR print module.
It seems that when I make a preset or set up printer with correct ICC profile the canon printer driver automatically resets to its own default.
It looks like a print driver in the background resets everything i do. Very confusing and Canon support points to adobe.
My setup:
Macpro with OSX 10.9.2 (latest version)
Lightroom 5.3 (creative cloud member, always latest version)
Canon Pixma pro-100 (bought new april 2014)
I have looked several places on internett and it looks that there are a lot people having similar problems.
I would appriciate any help to find an easy setup/soltion !
Thanks in advance

I have the Pixma Pro-100. But I'm using Windows 7, so I'm afraid I can't be a lot of help to you. I tried to help someone in another forum the other day and showed some screenshots, but he said he didn't have anything like that on the Mac.
If you're going to use ICC profiles, you have to turn off color management either in the printer or in the printer driver. It doesn't matter which one, just make sure that it gets turned off. Then what I do is I use soft proofing with the appropriate paper profile to prepare a soft proof copy for printing. After I have set my printer settings the way I want them and have everything just right in Lightroom, I save the preset for printing. And it seems to keep what I have set. If you can show me some screenshots of your printer driver, perhaps I can be of assistance.
Regardless of whether I allow Lightroom to manage the color or allow the printer to manage it, I am getting really nice prints. So I'm sure there's something that you are probably just overlooking.

Photoshop CS4 won't print on a new Canon Pixma Pro 10 - Mac Yosemite -

New Epson Pixma Pro 10. Printer works well with other applications, but just sends out blank pages when printing from Adobe Photoshop CS4. Canon suggested I use their plug, Print Studio Pro, and this worked with a file with layered images and text. However, it would not work with a file that had 3 text layers (two of which were hidden) unless I flattened the image. According to Canon, the plug in is supposed to work only with jpegs, but it did work with psd and tifs (when flattened). Any ideas on how I can get it to work directly from Photoshop.

Thanks for your help - I did find and download the Photoshop update to 11.0.2 and went to the Yosemite developer page you mentioned and do not see how to download the update, so I guess I will just have to wait for that to be released.
That's fine, you should do OK with Yosemite 10.10.1.
I'm glad you found the CS4 11.0.2 update. I nearly hit the roof when I read another post of yours with the "suite auto updates" nonsense after I had explained to you why one cannot rely on Adobes utterly useless auto updaters.
The hapless Adobe auto updater team in India began to get their act together only as of the CS6 updates, but they are back to their unparalleled incompetence in CC and CC2014.
In case you missed it, here's the link to the latest Canon Printer Drivers v3.1 for OS X from Apple, available to the general public, which sounds a lot newer than what you have. There's no reason for you to stick to "Print Studio 1.3.6" whatever that may be.

New Canon Pixma Pro-100 printing with streaks on backgrounds

Hello. I just purchased the printer last week. I'm operating on a MacBook Air. I typically use LightRoom and Photoshop.
I'm a professional photographer and recently look a class at ICP and learned how to print there. I was shocked at how beautiful the prints were. This was using an Epson in a classroom.
I did my research and talked to other photographers and decided the Pro-100 would be perfect for me, and so far, it is.
I've had trouble with magenta casts when using LightRoom. Switched to PhotoShop and got better results. But some prints, especially those with a simple, plain background, faint lines appear across the page.
Here's an example. The lines appear top to bottom every 1/4 inch or so:

Canon Pixma Pro 100 won't print

Hopefully someone can help. I just purchased a new Pixma Pro 100 and diligently set it up using a USB connection to my laptop (Windows 8, 64 bit). The printer printed the alignment page fine, but won't print anything else (including a Test Page from the device Properties box). I immediately get an on scree error message when trying to print.
Any thoughts out there?

Unplug the printer for 15 minutes. Unplug it from everything. Don't use My Image Garden. Use Easy Photo Print EX (came with your printer) or some other program.
