One Year Investing In Photography [NIKON 800mm F6.3]

    Nice glowing review. The one big thing that drives me nuts are the margins. In what little I saw in your video was some irregular margins when you printed that tiff image. I had the pixma pro 100 a few years ago, and could never get the Canon software to give me a consistent 1 inch border. I was all set to buy this printer or the new 310 printer, but after this demo, I will just hold off. I cannot afford an expensive paperweight. I do not quite understand how the print software has so much difficulty in giving a consistent 1 inch or 1/2 inch border. I know I can print from Photoshop or Lightroom, but until I see examples of the software and one of the Canon printers handling consistent even borders, I will not buy.

    Canon does not say this "adds more contrast to BW prints" which would be deal killer for photographers, who never want a machine screwing with their edited files. Canon points out this system adds more black density with wider dark color gamut that is it can reproduce finer gradations in very dark areas. This is a good vid for very inexperienced users who want to print snapshots on a $1300 printer with a $600 or so ink set. Keep in mind you have to use this machine every two days or so (just a "print test" image from the maintenance menu) or it will "clog" and cost you big money.

    Just a heads up for anyone considering this printer. there might be a persistent issue of horizontal banding. Keith Cooper noted this with a pre-production model in his written review and I can confirm this with a production model that I bought 2 weeks ago. Essentially the prints are useless to me unless these issues are resolved.

    @armenianzombie 29 วันที่ผ่านมา

    You should pick two to three papers that you like using and getting custom profiles made for those papers with your printer. I'd also highly recommend getting a color critical monitor, that's calibrated. If you have a well calibrated setup, it should take 95% of the guesswork out of the editing process. Beyond that, making good prints is as much an art as a science, and just takes an extended amount of practice. Personally, I'd recommend printing straight from lightroom/photoshop rather than the print utility, especially if your computer hasn't fallen prey to the OS13 printer bug.

    @ $1300 US for the machine and $900 US for ink cartridges you better be more than a casual "Enthusiast" to use this thing. Because it would take a LOT of prints to justify such hardware. And yes as mentioned if you aren't printing enough. Get ready to flush lots of $ down the drain to prime the nozzle and or replace a dried up clogged print head due to non-usage. Better to stick with a online print shop for the weekend warrior photog.

  • @PixelaidMix
    @PixelaidMix 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I have the Canon Pro-1000 large format printer. My advice would be to keep it operational/printing at least a few time per week. This will give you a better return on you ink. To replace all of my ink at one time is $400+. The printer drinks ink during it's start up process and cleaning after powering it on. It will agitate the ink cartages by vibrating them and then go through a cleaning process which purges a lot of ink to the waste cartage. Hence going through waste cartages as well.

    Just for let you know, in the last step of saving the tiff file in the prompt screen that says something like Tiff compression, the best option between size and quality is LZW you saved in ZIP, it's ok, but that option takes longer to save because tries to "compress" more the image with the zip algorithm, i hope this helps.

    As someone said, don't shut it off - maybe even get it its own UPS. If you slow down and stop printing a lot, you should just run a nozzle check a couple times a week to reset some of the internal timers so it won't do one of those auto-clean cycles. Also, you will probably want to invest in a calibration kit for your monitor to save on the soft proofing prints. Look up Keith Cooper, he's doing an in-depth evaluation of one of these printers.

      This is not true. Shutting it off properly(!) needs little to no ink. Whats a big issue is unplugging it from the wall. That will cause the printer to run a deep clean when turning it on for the next time. Same ofc goes for those wall outlets which can turn off, that also results in the printer running a cleaning before the next time its used. Using the power button on the printer to turn it off will cause the printhead to seal in the park position properly, so it can‘t dry out (at least for a couple months). Shutting off the printer with a socket however, will result in the printer not sealing the head properly, thats also why it will run cleaning cycles.
