This maybe of some help

Welcome to the world of printing. I've only had mine a short time and am completely addicted!I've been tempted to get a printer for a while but had been resisting the urge. However after a a moment of madness, I now possess a used Pro-1...
Tried to justify getting one of the 199 quid A3 printers, but just didn't have the space or need for it. Hardly ever print above A4 and for those rare occasions its economical to get it done online

Have a look at OctoInkJet for refilling your own cartridges, they are reckoned to be identical to the Canon colours. makes refilling much more cost effective.
Thanks David, will do, got a complete set of empties
First time filling is a bit of a trauma, but after that its plain sailing.....
Does the printer see them ok, presumably would think they are empty?
My old printer which my daughter used all through uni had third party inks, but the cartridges were chipped
By the starter kit, comes with a reseting tool to 'reset' the cartridges http://www.octoink.co.uk/products/Canon-Pro%2d10-Starter-Refill-Kit.html I got the kit for the Pro-100 seems to work very well.
No, but I think in other papers, the higher quality is ,1 and lower quality 2,3,4'Other Fine Art Paper 1', 'Other Fine Art Paper 2'
Has anyone ever seen the slightest bit of technical information about what the difference is between these two media types?
I have a MacBook Pro and when I choose an icc profile it automatically turns off the colour management - mine is greyed out under colour matching. I think this happens on all Macs.Can anybody help please,having a nightmare trying to print b&w prints.
I have a canon 100s & I Mac.i have calibrated the monitor & installed custom paper profiles from fotospeed.
But no matter what I try my prints come out blue.they look fine on the monitor.
I can’t turn off colour management in the printer driver?
I have tried printing from Lightroom,photoshop & canons pro studio all with the same results.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Strange - have you tried letting the printer manage the colour with Canon paper? The only other thing I can think of is clicking the B&W option under Quality and Media - but neither of these are really a solution.Thanks for your reply.yes using canon inks & tried canon paper ,all with the same results.prints are really blue,not just a tinge.
Just wandered in as I spotted we were getting a few people visiting from this forum and wanted to gently correct the above as we don't actually sell the OctoInkjet inks as "identical" to the OEM as we don't have access to the same raw materials as Canon on some of the inks. What we do have is a pretty good match that sometimes requires a little adjustment or out of the box thinking to overcome. I do tend to underplay what we have but I'd rather we promised slightly less and delivered better, instead of letting peoples hopes get overly inflated and then dashed.Have a look at OctoInkJet for refilling your own cartridges, they are reckoned to be identical to the Canon colours. makes refilling much more cost effective.
Oh dear There are some specialist printer forums where you might be able to get an answer if no-one here can help.Anyway now to the question How can I get the ink carts out of the now defunk printer? With no power at all the carriage is parked on the right side and no amount of prodding and pulling it will not move. So short of getting a hacksaw to the case I am stumped.
Canon do not and will not supply a service manual so I is stuffed.
Any help/suggestions would be gratefully received.
Apologies for the rant.

Hope that doesn't burst any dream sequences of folk running across a field of corn with a Canon printer and our inks...
Tried that with no joy. Told only available to service centre.@RVW Ray
Have you tried phoning and speaking to the Woking 3rd party servicing agent. I wonder if they might at least, if asked specifically, tell you how to dismantle it and/or a tech "wheeze" that might release the ink head carriage so that it can be manually pull into a position where the carts can be removed???
You could perhaps wait a little while and then quote the proposed changes to EU legislation regarding the ability for end users to repair their products... It might not get immediate results but at some point Canon and the other OEM's may have to consider a change in policy... FWIW, there's other users who are ripping into their Canon printers for waste ink purposes so you could post up on Printerknowledge for example and see if anyone else is or has taken apart a Pro-100 enough to be able to resolve you specific problem.Sad really because if service manual was available I estimate i could have repaired it for approx £75 and saved the planet the old printer and box going down the tip!
There is a learning curve with printing at home - personally I love printing, but these printers need to be used frequently. They go through cleaning cycles which wastes ink. I leave my Pro 1 turned on all of the time and try to use it several times a week so that the cleaning cycles are only light ones.Would you guys choose a canon pro 1 printer at 299 over a newer model? I posted this on the main thread but have only just came across this thread. I am looking at printing images of babies and school stuff and not in large numbers as I use DS Colour for my regular school photos. This is for stragglers and the baby stuff.
I guess I'm not wanting anything too complicated to set up and not knowing much about these would a newer model be simpler to connect via wifi and would the print quality in a 300 quid newer machine stack up against a pro holder model.
Any advice welcome.
Well so the learning curve starts for me today as got myself the Pro100s. Needed to make some alterations to the office before I had somewhere for it to sit as slightly under estimated the size.
Really looking forward to getting started on the long journey of printing my images.
Yep they get crazy discounts in the US. Nowhere else though They’re usually discounted at The Photography Show if you can wait another year.I am looking at getting the 100s too but am annoyed that we have to pay £350 for it when it can be bought in the USA for $149 after getting $250 rebate and some reviewers on youtube even managed to buy it for $49 last year!!

Anyone know what if any are the differences between the PRO 100 and the Pro 100s
