One other thing which is annoying - with fine art printing it imposes a 30mm border. I believe this can be circumvented.
I'm looking for an reasonably priced A3 printer and the Pixma Pro range seem popular.
Could anybody summarise the differences between the 10S & 100S? And if anybody has one, how do you get on with it?
There is a YouTube channel which is worth checking out https://www.youtube.com/user/cheo1949
He has playlists dedicated to each of those printers plus I think some that compare the results.
If you are thinking of selling your work, then original manufacturer pigment inks are probably best used (Pro 10s) due to their supposed superior longevity.
I have a Canon Pixma IP8750, because I couldn't afford any of the Pro range, and I think it's bloody brilliant! Of course I've never had anything else to compare it to, but using Canon inks on Canon glossy paper my A3 prints are as good as I could imagine ever wanting them to be!
Out of interest, what is the footprint of the 10 & 100 printers?
Just had a quick rough measure with the rear paper flap up (which it needs to be) and the front collection plate open
Its approximately 18ins high and extreme front to back 30ins, that is the total overall size
The clearance needed outside of the printer base dimensions are approximately 5ins rear and 8ins front
My 10 sits on a chest of drawers which have to be pulled forward slightly to get the rear flap completely open

Cheers Rich, I have a large'ish wooden filing cabinet I was hoping to use, but I think that may fall a bit short 28.5 x 16 inches....
May have to think about a new office setup when we move...
You need more than 5 inches rear to feed in A3/A3+ paper on the manual feed
The specs are on the Canon website, but you do need to leave space behind. I just moved my cupboard away from the wall to accommodate the rear feed - not that I've used that yet.Cheers Rich, I have a large'ish wooden filing cabinet I was hoping to use, but I think that may fall a bit short 28.5 x 16 inches....
