"Slow and steady wins the race," is great in theory, unless you're looking for output speed instead of quality. The PIXMA PRO-10, Canon's successor to their PRO-1, is a more affordable (although still pricey) professional inkjet printer that has a lot under the hood.

Network-ready wireless/wired; quiet; CD Printing

Slow

Speed is not the Canon Pixma Pro-10's specialty. Rather, this professional inkjet large-format printer will give you print quality that's worthy of being displayed at an art gallery.

Very good output quality when printing high-resolution image files; Large capacity ink cartridges; Three black inks can generate excellent monochrome prints; Wi-Fi connectivity

Large and heavy; No memory card slots; Can only handle cut sheet paper; not rolls; Speed is not its forte

While there are some significant feature differences between these three machines, the primary difference is the number of ink cartridges each model uses, which, as you can imagine, can greatly affect the printer's "color range," or "color depth.

Canon's 13x19"-sized printers, the PIXMA Pro9500 Mark II and PIXMA Pro9000 Mark II, have had a longer life than most, but have been replaced with two new models that are similar to the PIXMA PRO-1, introduced over a year ago.

The most difficult aspect of using Canon's 10-pigment ink printer is getting it out of the box. It's a heavy printer in a tightly-packed box. At least half of the setup time came from maneuvering the printer from doorstep to printer table.

The Pro-100 added dye printing to Canon's new Pro line of printers. The Pro-10 provides a second pigment option in the lineup. It brings the Pro-1's paper handling and CD printing to the simpler cartridge/print head design borrowed from the Pro9500 Mark II.

Easy Wi-Fi setup; CD printing tray; Excellent photo quality colour prints; Decent black and white reproduction; Quiet printing

Quite small ink cartridges; Not the quickest at printing full size prints; Expensive for a full set of ink (~￡88; *Black and white prints have a very slight sepia tone

The Canon Pixma Pro-10 is the mid-priced model in Canon's outstanding range of professional A3+ inkjet photo and fine art printers. It takes ten ink cartridges with separate matt and photo black pigments, the usual cyan, magenta and yellow, paler photo cyan and photo magenta cartridges, red and grey...

The PIXMA Pro-10 sits in the middle of three A3+ printers that were initially announced by Canon at Photokina 2012. Designed primarily for photo enthusiasts, it uses the same Lucia inks as the higher-specified PIXMA Pro-1 , which we reviewed in January 2012 , but with one grey tank instead of the...

This is the newest addition to the Canon range of pigment inkjet printers. It handles paper up to A3+ (32.9×48.3cm) and also prints on blank discs. It can use heavy art papers by opening up the back feed-through tray, which means the printer – which is heavy at 20kg – needs a large desktop area on...
