None whatsoever. It's my current printer, after an Epson P600 that I purchased new and used for a year (that one's sitting in a closet now), and thicker paper feed is easier and more consistent with the Pro 100 than the P600.For those of you that have the Canon Pro 100.. have you had any paper feed issues?...
This is good info. I picked up a Pro 100 recently. I had some issues but I'm convinced I just need to configure my computer properly. I have a couple other Canon printers. One is a all in one copier MX922 I use it to make snap shots, they look lovely.None whatsoever.

Here's something to consider. One can read lots of discussion about gloss differential. I found that, unless examining an area with virtually no image, pigment inks on any glossy 'art' paper were too shiny period. There was no differential. I hate reflections. I tried a large number of papers from many manufacturers and all suffered from this problem. Moving on to matt papers, the best one with a P600 was Hahnemuhle Photo Rag Ultra Smooth, but dmax, while better than most, was still inadequate. The matt paper 'blahs' seem unavoidable.
In the course of exchanging prints with another photographer who was also on a 'paper quest,' but who uses a Pro 100, we discovered that dye inks don't suffer excessive shine on glossy papers. Our ultimate conclusions agreed: optimum results came from Hahnemuhle FineArt Baryta Satin printed on a Pro 100. I strongly recommend anyone seeking a beautiful print (which also provides the side benefit of being nicely rigid and flat in the hand) give that combination a chance.
Sal, I checked B&H the paper you mention is available in rolls, the only sizes of cut sheets, at B&H are 4x6 cards and 13x19" Where do you get your paper? I'm looking for 5x7 , letter size etc. MikeNone whatsoever.

I'm not sure how you searched at the B&H Web site, but when I do it shows 16 different sizes/versions:Sal, I checked B&H the paper you mention is available in rolls, the only sizes of cut sheets, at B&H are 4x6 cards and 13x19" Where do you get your paper?

I'm done with HP I bought HP cartridges at Costco, the printer said they were counterfeit? Canon makes the ink and cartridges in Japan . I think this insures better quality.I currently have the Canon Pro 100 and I'm happy with it.
Formerly had the HP B9100 and wore it out! The repair shop guy said it could be fixed but to do it would use so much ink that it would be cheaper to buy a new printer!
Thanks, got it.I'm not sure how you searched at the B&H Web site, but when I do it shows 16 different sizes/versions:
B&H is where I purchase Hahnemuhle FineArt Baryta Satin.
When you print, is it mostly color, or do you also do B&W?

Check on how long the Pro 100 has been in production, I think it's rather mature. It's very well supported in terms of color profiles by paper companies. A buddy of mine has a camera shop, he runs up to 12 inch RA4.Thanks all for the info on the Pro 100, interesting.. maybe because its newer, no feedback on the Epson HD XP-15000.
Anybody out there got some comments on the Epson printer?
The cartridges I got at Costco were "Genuine HP" the package says made in "followed by 10 different countries" the point I failed to make is, that, I suspect that HP is sourcing consumables. Sourced product can be very hard to manage. Every Canon cartridge I have purchased is made in Japan.I don't do Costco, but I've always bought the originals for both the HP and Canon. There's one local Real Photo Shop on the area which stocks them, fortunately. I'm sure I could find them cheaper, but then you risk getting fakes.
I did run that HP very hard. Back when I was into the photo calendar thing I ran literally thousands upon thousands of sheets through it and it held rather well up to a point.
It got to when I would turn it on it would kinda juke around for 5-10 minutes before it would come to ready. A suggestion (on line) was to leave it on, which I did for a while, but after a while it started doing its little Happy Dance with no warning in the middle of the night and would wake me up! As I said, it was cheaper to get a newer printer than to repair the old one and end up with a working but still obsolete printer.

Canon states in the fine print that they continue to supply ink for "pro-sumer" printers like the Pro100 for five years from the end of manufacture. They are still being sold in the mainstream retailers so presumably the five year clock hasn't started yet.
I have a Canon Pro 100 and it's a nice printer. I used Canon OEM inks, but switched over to Precision Color Inks.Canon states in the fine print that they continue to supply ink for "pro-sumer" printers like the Pro100 for five years from the end of manufacture.
