วีดีโอ

thank you for your help, on my Pro-100 with your previous TH-cam videos. I looked up Qimage One after your recent reply back, so I will be downloading this and give it a go. I agree Canon printing application, does not seem to be easy to use. So far I have had good luck though printing right from Apple Preview.. we'll see

A bit simplified and confusing statement. Just turning down the monitor brightness is not enough, it does not bring brighter print on its own. We need to edit at a lower monitor brightness level, so we can properly adjust the brightness of the image for print to ensure the print looks appropriate.

Great video. Question you posted another video that was about four years ago that mentioned just using Apple preview which is your preferred method that you use now? Apple preview or the one in the above video. Thanks for your help. Greatly appreciated b/c I’m currently pulling out my hair.

I just recently got the Canon Pro 100 and my prints are turning out terrible can’t wait to try this fix

ok, question on this. I have printer at home and I am making some 8x10 prints for an art walk coming up using 8.5x11 photo rag paper. I got a really good deal on these nice frames from target and figured I would go this route this year to save a little money. with the discount it's almost $13 a frame. They are thin white frames 14x18 matted to 8x10 image. They look really really good for the price. However the image size isn't exactly 8x10 in the center, it is a little smaller. I assume to compensate and cover for many 8x10 images including a border or not. My question is, do I go ahead and just make an 8x10 image size on the 8.5x11 paper and let the matte cover the image a little on each side. Or should I just measure the inside of the matte and make the image size of the print to that size. say like 7.75x 9.75 or whatever the size is. I am torn on what to do because if the customer decides to get it reframed personally I would prefer the actual image size to be 8x10 myself. or does it really even matter or am I just overthinking it lol. Thanks for any help. Loved your video and will subscribe

What is a profoto camera ?

Nice work!

So for making album I should go for glossy one

if an image is in sRGB and your printer can print all colors in the sRGB space, is there a difference between perceptual and R.C. when using the printer profile? based on what I am reading and what you said I would think not? as no colors will be out of gamut. But in PS proof colors it looks like perceptual changes but RC does not.

I have been a printer for over 20 years, epson user for 12-15 years. now have 5 canon pro wide formats (2 pro4000, 4600, 2600 & 6100) one point though comparing prints in the way you did is not a very accurate way to do it, waaaaay to many variables to make it a useful comparison

I've owned 3 Epson 13“ printers, one of which was an office type printer, scanner, fax, etc. No complaints about the print quality. Major complaints about clogging. Stressed me out big time. Now a very happy Canon Pro-1000 owner. Haven't had it that long and haven't put any better papers through it yet, so can't help with comments about how it feeds. I've only ever heard praise from others, however, concerning it feeding paper very well. That might not necessarily mean that it won't balk at somewhat curled paper though; I don't know.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have the canon pro 10s. Works perfectly. On high quality print settings, I’m matching Pantone colour guides now. I was about to get rid of my printer in desperation. Amazing! Thanks again.

unable to add the IJ programme only the USB

I am not in your category of printer user, but I do regularly print on canvas with my Canon Pro-100 for retail sales items with 13"x19" capable format. I refill my carts to make printing affordable and otherwise couldn't make it profitable. An upgrade to a Pro-200 eliminates this option. In 8 years I've had to replace one printer - cheaper than any canvas capable printer out there. I'm fully in the thumbs up crowd for Canon. I also have an Epson ET-2700 that is nothing but a headache. Yes, the tank tech makes it cheaper on consumables, but the heads simply can't keep from clogging, and the colors can only be charitably described as weak. My 2¢ worth.

This was very informative and helpful. I’m an artist and woodworker, looking to make prints of my work to sell in the future. Being an ex printer, I have a lot of knowledge of the printing process, but on the backside of selling my art is very new. What you outlined was very helpful. 😊

I hate Epson which a passion. Mine died after a firmware update, it stopped recognizing the printer cartridges instantly (obvious planned obsolescence) and it is EVERYWHERE (the issue from others) I just bought a Canon and love it. Epson customer service is awful and the company is just unethical.

If i get srgb file is it better to convert it to 1998 or work on srgb

Thanks for showing us the difference of canvas material! It’s so funny I just bought a large canvas image of mine and it happens to be in that same spot as your photograph on your example 😂. So not only did I get to see the quality but also an idea of how my print will look

What spftware do u use for upscale ? Topaz ?

What can i do when someone send me srgb photo ? Does converting the profile in photoshop helps ? Also in what color space should i set my display (monitor)? It has srgb,p3 and wide gamut.thank you

Please, oh please, keep the Q1 videos coming when you can! As I was getting serious with printing after buying a Canon 4100 a couple years ago, I was surprised to find how dissatisfied people were with general printing software, and that’s how I stumbled into Qimage One couple years ago. I figured that if I’m gonna learn, I wanna learn on the one I’m gonna use forever not something everyone hates. So I dove in, and despite a learning curve, I’m glad I did. I love many features and it just works for me. And yes, I agree Andrew from Binartem is always available to bail me out when I get stuck. Right now he’s helping me through a couple property setting bugs that popped up after loading the new version onto a new M4 Mac mini, but for now the workaround is pretty straightforward. But man, nothing like learning by watching somebody mouse around, so please keep it up! As for Folders I’ve always needed a better workflow: LR-to-Q1 so this helps, thanks. Will be printing for local clients, but I’m also going to be selling my own art so I need to establish some folders of repeat prints. I just haven’t decided how I want to structure that as an export folder from Adobe that I can reach into directly from Q1.

Etchings, engravings, mezzotints, woodcuts, linocuts, lithographs, screen prints, all had a border, try were numbered and signed in pencil. A photograph without a border looks easily as if a section was cut off from the whole paper format.

I watched your video on color issues with the Canon Pixma Pro-100 and you said to use Canon Manages Colors and not use paper profile. In this video you suggest using Color Sync. I'm confused.

I currently print on a pro 1000 and I love the printer. the quality of the prints and the pretty much hassle free operation has made it a joy to work with. It feeds fine art paper pretty well. I regularly use 315gsm 21mil paper and it prints like a champ.

(NO SHOUTING) *CANON WILL NOT FORGET TO SEND YOU A CHEQUE FOR THIS VIDEO!!! LOL!!! ANYONE WHO HAS DONE SOME RESEARCH ON CANON VS. EPSON PRINTERS KNOWS THAT BOTH TOP PRINTERS ARE AT THE SAME LEVEL OF QUALITY. WHAT YOU SAY IS INDEED COMPLETE BS!!! MANY TH-cam VIDEOS CONFIRM THIS POINT!!!*

Thank you for a great explanation of the iPhone lenses

THANK YOU!!

This was awesome, just what I needed and no fluff. Thanks so much!

Thank you for this. I was leaning towards an Epson but will have to give serious consideration to Canon.

I am getting the message that "filter failed". How do I fix this?

Tried Canon Photo Paper Pro Premium Matte and was disgusted by the feel, texture, and print quality. It was essentially like cardstock, and created very ugly prints. It also seemed like there was no coating or finish on the paper whatsoever. What matte paper do you recommend?

I just got the dreaded service request for an ink absorber on a Canon 300, after only two years of printing. Print quality has been great but a lot of ink seems wasted over time. Any recommendations in that level, with a new priority on being able to replace the absorber? Thanks.

Great job building your business congratulations 🎉

Can you send me links on the equipments you mentioned on video

My first photo printer is a Canon Pro-100 that I picked up at Goodwill for $20 dollars. It's absolutely a love hate relationship. I really happy with the results I can get out of it but that process is far from easy or straightforward. At some point I hope to upgrade to the Pro-1000 or Pro-1100

Great video and great advice. Agree with Canon choice 100%. I had an Epson 9800 which was horrible with the clogged heads. I found an alternative ink supplier and bought bottles and did my own refilling. I had to clean the heads everyday. I wasted a lot of the "cheap" ink too. The results were great but the constant head cleaning was just not practical because I wasted ink and more importantly lots of time. I got out of the large format printing but if I ever go back in again, Canon will be my choice hands down. I also have an Epson P800 but have not used it in years. It is probably dead by now!! BTW, I bought several Pro 100 printers when Canon was practically giving them away. I have not had major issues with them. Again, I am using after market bulk inks (refilling my cartridges) and the colors are as good as the OEM Canon inks. I have almost 85% cost saving in ink cost.

I have recently discovered your channel and am really happy that I did as I like your style and the substance of what you convey. On the point of your video today, I used to own two Epson 17” printers, one of which being a 4900, and while it did produce beautiful prints when it worked, it gave me (to your point) so many clogging issues that it turned into a nightmare despite having two print heads replaced under warranty. I passed on the P900 for the reasons that you described and I went for the Canon Pro 1100 which is mechanically the same as the Pro 1000 but with reformulated inks. Having read nothing but praise about the paper feed system of the Pro 1000 and the quality of its prints, I was eager to give Canon a go. While the Pro 1100 produces gorgeous prints when it works the way it should, it unfortunately has banding issues that make every print a flip of a coin: will it print correctly or will there be banding? Canon replaced my unit under warranty (outstanding customer service I have to say - I had my replacement printer at my doorstep in less than 24 hours) but unfortunately the new one displays the same banding issues as my previous one. I hope that they will be able to fix this issue ASAP otherwise I will have to switch to an Epson P5370 as consistency and predictability are features that you would expect from a printer that gets marketed as a “pro level” printer. Just my 2 cents.

20 yr Epson art printer here. I've never personally used the small format printers but I have heard the P900 is terrible for feeding thick paper and even worse if you add the roll paper option. I just run the small sheets through my big Epson printers. I try to use 17x22 cut sheets, but I have been known to print on cut offs. Printing on roll cutoffs is risky business as there is a good chance of head strikes. I love my 9900's, and the 11880 and we have been getting used to the P20000 over the past year but it's temperamental. Been thinking of switching to Canon just for the user replaceable printhead. The P20000 head is around $2500 plus tech fees. Love this video as I have been meaning to ask why you use Canon vs Epson.

Have watched dozens of videos and you're the first to put a tube in a box. A bit extra material but that seems like the ideal for both protection and ease of shipment, cheers for sharing!

The ones I bought from Amazon do not have strong enough magnets to hold up large canvas prints. I have a print that is 20 inches by 36 inches, and it falls off the top bars after a while. It does well on small canvas prints though.

The mirrored edges option, is that something that is done with the Q Image One software?

Thank you! I figured out how to use the right paper profile but printer manages color was the key. I just boost the white in levels a touch and now my pixma 100 prints 13x19 photos that look exactly like the photos on my iphone screen. Skin tones are PERFECT!!

what nails compressor shell i use for home DIY use. I am not professional but need some time

even more trippy is add a 3rd and you can restore the light passing through.

great

The problem that I have with my printer in addition to the horrible color is that the printer constantly reverts to being offline. I just saw your video regarding the color problem and can’t wait to try it tomorrow but my printer is always offline. Any suggestions?

Thanks! This is one of the best explanations

Love the simple set up thank you

French bread comes in a long paper bag, sure you find those in bulk online. If the sleeve is to weatherproof, wax paper maybe 🤷🏻

Great video, thank you! I don't understand the issue with constant lighting vs. strobe? If you had soft boxes of the same color temp as the strobes why would it matter if they were on constantly or not? Thanks
