In this article I'm going to be reviewing Canon PIXMA Pro-10s photo printer. This Canon Printer 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. Like both those Canon 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.
Using the chroma optimizer particularly on the Canon Luster paper is slightly less glossy and has a sort of textured, 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. You can control when you do and do not use the chrome optimizer ink, 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.
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, 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. 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. If you using this printer with wireless, you will had pretty good results. Canon pro 1 has 12 inks and the Canon pro 100 has eight, 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.
This Canon printer is not very fast and it's not really meant to be, it's designed for quality over speed. When you're printing a 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. Cost wise this is an expensive printer, Canon PIXMA Pro-10s comes in at about £500 and then the inks you do get some starter inks, but a full set of inks is about a hundred pounds. 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 hope you've now generated enough interest in your work to justify buying this printer.
