My Favorite Printer…
Share To:
I am often asked what type of printer I use for my printables and projects. When I started my little Etsy shop back in 2009, I purchased a Canon Pixma Pro 9000 printer. It was a great printer and printed my printables beautifully, especially once I found the perfect paper. Well, last year, the paper feed stopped working properly and I decided it was about time to treat myself to a new one. I purchased a Canon Pixma Pro100 which is the newer version of my old printer. I love it. One of my favorite features is that is wireless. When I opened the shop, I decided to move the printer there and it is so great that everyone can print without having to “plug in”. Well, I quickly realized that I do much of my design work at home, so I definitely need one at home too. I just ordered another one on Amazon and found an amazing Canon rebate! I am so excited, so I thought I’d share the details.
Here are some facts about the printer:
- 8 Dye based inks for amazing gradients and color, 3 of which are dedicated grayscale inks for beautiful black & white prints
- The Optimum Image Generating System reproduces colors as you intend them by logically selecting the optimum ink combination and placement
- Compatible with Individual CLI-42 Ink Tanks (Black, Gray, Light Gray, Cyan, Photo Cyan, Magenta, Photo Magenta, Yellow). Only Replace The Inks That Run Out.
- 4800 x 2400 dpi with FINE technology for incredible detail
- Print your Vision up to 13″ x 19″: Print professional quality photos on various media up to 13″ x 19″
Amazon Printer Price: $378.70 ($499.00 retail price on Canon.com)
Canon Rebate: $200
Final Price: $178.70
That is a fantastic deal for this type of large photo printer! Now would be a great time to get one! With the holidays coming up, just think of the printables + crafts you can make using it!

Did the one you found have a later order date for the rebate?
Thanks.
If you click the link above for the rebate, scroll down to “Pixma Pro Printer Rebate” and click “Download Rebate”. It is valid through 11/22/14.
Do you mind sharing the paper you use?
Thank you!
I love Staples Heavyweight Matte Photo Paper!
THANKS FOR SHARING THE PAPER AND PRINTER!
This is so great! If you don’t mind me asking, what do you use for regular paper to print in? Is there a specific name or brand for that kind of paper you use? Thank you
Do you know if it will print in white?
Thanks so much!
I have never tried?! Maybe google it.
I bought my Pro100 (per your past recommendation) in March and LOVE it!!!!!!!
Isn’t it great?
How long do your ink cartridges last? My printer goes through ink very quickly…I feel like I always need to replace them and they are expensive.
It is hard to say how often I change out the tanks. They are individual on this printer, so it really varies. Unfortunately, all ink for color photo printers is typically expensive. Since I get the quality and results I need, I just go with it. 🙂
It looks awesome and what a good deal! How much do you usually pay for ink? Thanks for sharing 🙂
I always buy a multi-pack, which is the best value.
Do you know if I can order from Spain?
Hi Karla, I’m not sure if Amazon ships to Spain? I would click the link above and check!
KIM!!! Thanks for sharing this POST, I am looking for a new Printer.. I look this printer but know I am SURE!!
Do you know how I print in Gold color ? only with special pointers?
Gold and neon are special colors that can’t be printed on a regular at home printer. 🙁
Does it print on label/sticker paper?
Thanks for sharing, Kim! I’ve been putting off getting a new printer, but now I know one of things I want for Christmas! 🙂
I am SO glad you posted this!! I am in need of a new printer so I was excited to see this post. I have always used an Epson photo printer, but I would love to try this one for the price! Thanks again 🙂
I’m looking to switch out my mountain cow printing program for another one…does anybody have a program they recommend?
I have been looking fora good printer. This helps so much!! How is the print quality on regular cardstock?
Hello,
I love my Pixma Pro-100. I was just wondering what was the maximum weight of paper you used on your printer. I am considering 110 lb matte paper for some of my projects. Thanks!
