  4. Canon iP 100 printer and Pro 9000 MKII

Canon iP 100 printer and Pro 9000 MKII


7 years 10 months ago #483581 by Don Fischer
I've had mine for two or three years now and love it. Goes with me to the dog trials I go to. I was making some business cards last week and my  Pro 9000 MKII ran out of an ink color I didn't have on hand so though I was stuck until I could get one. Ordered it from B&H, other wise it's a 150 mi round trip to get it!

Well got me to looking closer at my iP 100 and it does have custom setting on it! The only printer I've ever seen with that before is my Pro 9000 MKII. They came out great!

I know those all in one color cartridge's are more expensive than individuals but for what I use my iP 100 for it just doesn't make the first bit of difference to me.

I have been fooling with my 13" making different panoramic photo's with dog's in them. Actually I make them twice as wide as tall;4x8, 5x10 on up to 9x18 on my 13"! I found out about them with my iP 100, it has that as a reg photo and boy did I like it. Now I can do all the was to 5x10 in that little thing. Maybe even more depending on how long paper I can use. Canon say's my Pro 9000 MKII using the front feed can do up to 14x26! haven tried it yet. onna get a piece of 13 wide paper that's long enough one of these days and try it. If it work's it would be awesome!

Here's a photo of my Stormy done about like that. Picasa does it for me right, this might be a bit off. The top one is twice as wide crop. The bottom is uncropped

Beautiful dogs. Did I understand you correctly, you bring the Pro 9000 out with you to the shows?  I ask because that's a good size printer correct?

Yes I did until I got my iP 100. I have an enclosed trailer set up to handle it and room to do even framing inside it. Your right, it is good sized.

Does the print quality of that ip 100 come close to the Pro 9000?

I don't think I'm qualified to answer that but, I can't fault the iP 100 at all. To me, there's no difference.

I don't. The Pro 9000/9000 MKII are probably discontinued now. Wouldn't bother me to just pick another 13" Canon. I've had better luck with Canon by far than HP or Epson.

You can find them still for sale on Amazon and a few other sites.  That Canon iP 100 looks pretty good, how is the ink consumption on it?  Cost to replace?

I figured out what the Pro 9000 used and came up with .01 per sq in. Red River Paper got .009 per sq in. Never tried it with the iP 100. Probably pretty easy though. Has to be more expensive as you end up throwing ink away. but weighed against what it does for me, cost doesn't matter. Recently finding out about the custom sizing for print's just made it that much better. I did run a bunch of 8 x 10 prints through it one time when the low ink alarm showed and, though I don't remember, was amazed how many I got after it turned on. I have found that with it and the 9000, keep printing until the mty ink stops the computer. If you don't, even with individual tank's you end up throwing away a lot of ink. Better a bit of ink and piece of paper!

Your supposed to use Canon ink only in those printers correct?

No. I tried an after market ink and it did alright but the printer, iP 100, didn't know when the ink was out until the printer just stopped. It was less expensive but I somehow had the feeling it ran out way to soon. I though about it and I wasn't saving all that much money as I never believed ink was all that expensive in the first place. I forget how I figured it but I did on my 9000 and came out to a penny a sq inch. Red River tested it and they got nine tenth's of a penny. if a penny a sq inch is to expensive, I got a lot more problem's than ink!

I love mine but in time it's gonna need replaced, no getting around that. As inexpensively as I can get 13" Canon printer's I'd get something else next time unless I got a super deal on another 9000.
