In the photo-printing category, Canon offers three lineups. At the lower-priced end of the category is the consumer-centric Pixma series, while on the other end of the spectrum is the professional imagePROGRAF wide-format series. We’re talking a range that runs from less than $100 to thousands of dollars. And, in-between these is the Pixma Pro, aimed at the “prosumer” customer who needs more capability than the typical home photo printer can provide, but doesn’t have the need – or the budget – for a multi-thousand dollar printer. At just under a thousand dollars, the Pixma Pro-1 ($999) is at the top of Canon’s Pixma Pro lineup, suitable for use by photographers – both advanced amateur and professional – that won’t find the 13-inch behemoth intimidating or limiting. If you take photography seriously and enjoy printing them out to enjoy, this is the type of printer that’ll speak to you. Like the Pixma Pro 10, the Pro-1 is a very large and heavy printer.
