Printing you work that is what it's all
about and the Canon Pro-10s does a
spectacular job
Hello. So today I'm going to be reviewing
this the Canon PIXMA Pro-10s photo printer
printing is a key component of the
photography process in the past when we
shot film it wasn't until you got those
film prints that you actually saw the
work you didn't get to preview on the
back of the screen like you do now but
it's still an important part of the
process in my opinion and when you see a
piece of work like this printed out it's
just absolutely fantastic and it makes
it all worthwhile
so with this in mind you need to
consider how you're going to create your
prints over the years I have always sent
files away to printers but now I've had
so many requests for prints that I've
decided to take it to the next level by
purchasing this Canon Pro 10s and it is
absolutely fantastic. In the long run it
will work out to be cheaper when you
take all the costs into account and what
it also does is put me in total charge
of the quality control and that's
important for me especially if I'm
shipping out the work to clients.
I decided to go for the Canon Pro-10s it
sits pretty much in the middle of the
pro range of printers from Canon at the
higher end you have the Canon Pro-1 and a
little bit down further down the range
to this you have the Canon Pro-100s and I think
this sits nicely in the middle in terms of
quality and value. Like both those
printers this will print everything from
4x6 small images up to A3+ which is
13 by 19 inches and when you print those
out they're just absolutely magical like
the higher-end models this Canon pro 10s
comes with the chroma optimizer ink you
don't get that with the pro 100 but this
10s does have that what that is is a
clear ink that can go you can choose to
put over the surface of your image which
increases the color gamut increases the
glossiness of an image and it adds a
little bit extra longevity really make
the blacks pop and those colors pop and
it really takes those images to the next
level I've been using the chroma
optimizer particularly on the
Canon Luster paper which is slightly
less glossy and has a sort of textured
look and feel to it and when you print
out a picture with that chroma optimizer
ink over the top of it using this
printer the images that come out are
just absolutely fantastic they've got a
super super professional feel to them
and they just look absolutely amazing
you can control when you do and do not
use the chrome optimizer ink and all you
can also use it on highly glossed paper
and it just puts an even glossier sheen
on which really makes the colors burst
out of the image with highly saturated
images and when it comes to my water
jobs this is for me it's working
absolutely perfectly and I love it let
me show you the water drop look at this
super glossy image I don't know if you
can see the gloss on there if I move it
around a bit but that just looks
absolutely stunning on this high gloss
paper high quality with that chroma
optimizer ink I'm just so so pleased
with it the quality is just exceptional
one of the other things that I really
like about this Canon PIXMA Pro-10s is it
comes with the Canon photo studio pro
plugin for Lightroom again at the pro
100 does not have that but the pro
10s and above do because it gives you
total control over the printer it lets
you select the paper type
it lets you view photo profiles so you
can see what the image might look
like when it's printed out and it just
puts you in total command of the printer
but it also makes it much much easier
than natively printing through Lightroom
and that is a real nice bonus that comes
with this printer. Connectivity wise this
comes with a USB a Ethernet and it is
also Wireless when I first got it I
started using it with wireless and I had
pretty good results but then I started
to have connectivity problems it was
what it was dropping the wireless signal
mid print and the way the printer
reacted to that was to spit the piece
of paper out no matter what stage of the
printing process it was at and that
would then ruin that particular print. So the printer
is plugged into my wireless router and
then I can still connect to the printer
wirelessly with my laptop but it's
hardwired into the router which works
well for me and so far it's been
absolutely flawless I've had no further
connection issues doing that. I'm
absolutely blown away by the quality of
this thing the the quality of the prints
is equal to what I've had from good labs
in the past it will take different types
of paper as well from other companies as
well as canon companies like Canson and
Hahnemuhle which produce some really
top-notch paper and it also will take
photo rag as well which is great again
it great for black and white this is a
10 ink system the Canon pro 1 has 12 inks
and the Canon pro 100 has eight and again this
sits in the middle with 10. The beauty of
a 10 ink system is that when one of them
runs dry you don't need to replace a
multi ink cartridge so it does
eventually start to keep costs down
because if you're printing a lot black
and white it will only be those two
black and white cartridges that you need
to replace regularly now I really like
that feature. The printer is not very fast
and it's not really meant to be it's
designed for quality over speed and when
you're printing these large photographic
prints you don't really need speed. There
are other options from other
manufacturers like Epson who do the sure
color p600 which is slightly more
expensive than this and that does also
take paper roll with just which this one
it doesn't that might be another one to
look at for you. Cost wise this is an
expensive printer the printer comes in at
about £500 and then the inks you
do get some starter inks with this but a
full set of inks is about a hundred
pounds but like I said with that multi
ink system once you've made that initial
investment you won't then need to be
replacing them in one big chunk so I've
now generated enough interest in my work
to justify buying this printer and as a
create new outlet to sell my work I have
relaunched from
today the firstmanphotography.com website
