Abstract: Front view of the PIXMA Pro-1set up for printing directly from a cameraWith a capacity of approximately 35 ml, each ink tank in the Pro-1 holds 2.5x more ink than those of the previous models (around 14 ml). There are 12 inks in all: Yellow, Photo Cyan, C...
12 colors of inks produce excellent output quality, Wide-format, Five black inks can generate excellent monochrome prints
Large, heavy, and pricey (if we must complain), Limited to 13-inch media
Given its size and heft, and the fact that this is the top model in the Pixma Pro line, it's surprising that Canon decided to limit the Pro-1's media handling capabilities to 13 inches. But other than that, our only complaint is the weight. Even that i...

Rich ink quality, Sturdy design, Fast & speedy printing
Absence of multitasking feature, Very expensive
Summing up the Canon PIXMA PRO-1 Printer Review, it appears to be a good printer and is noteworthy from consumer point of view. This printer is more suitable for home and office usage. The design and the performance of the printer appear to be very convin...
En lançant sa PRO-1, Canon vient semer le trouble sur ce créneau dominé par Epson depuis de nombreuses années. De part son prix (900 euros), l'imprimante vient se glisser entre l'Epson R3000 (environ 600 euros) et la Stylus Photo Pro 3880 (environ 1400...
