Printer has been flawless printing on everything from matte, thick cotton rag paper, and glossy papers. Continually shocked at how much this printer has made my enjoy my photography more.
I bought this printer as an upgrade for my Pixma Pro-100. I'm still on the fence about it. My main issues with it is that it is much slower than the Pixma Pro-100 (it seems) and it really uses a lot of ink! Frankly I can'y figure out where it goes so fast! This might be a great printer for home use but I own a studio and I just don't think it is going to cut it. Time will tell. If you buy one buy extra ink!
I have had this printer for a few months now, and I love it. The directions for set up were straightforward, and the process was smooth. As a hobbyist photographer, I primarily print from PhotoShop or Lightroom on Red River or Hahnemūle paper, and I have been pleased with the results. Both color and black-and-white prints turn out well.
Good results, you need patience for the many glitches

When I can get all the complicated setting to match and everything to communicate...even though I hard wired this printer...I love the result. However there have been too many glitches...
Great printer but with every Canon printer I have owned (5+) the software needs work. Often just doesn't make sense or is complicated. My Pro9000 is simpler to replace ink than either my Pr0 300 and Pro 310.
