Customer Reviews for Canon - imagePROGRAF PRO-1100 Wireless Inkjet Printer - Black

Verified Purchase:Yes
Pro-1100 purchased as a replacement for my previous Canon printer (i9900) that had given me years of good service but eventually died. Pro-1100 is a definite improvement in image quality and has the versatility to use sizes and types of papers that were beyond what I could reasonably do with my previous printer. Best of all, my wife is exceptionally pleased with the images I am able to print.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not for beginners: Entry level professional/ "Prosumer" Printer
on December 29, 2025
Posted by: TSC Photography Andrew W
As the title says this printer is not for beginners, I got this product back in March 2025 and began trying to use it, I was getting some prints to come out well, but often the colors wouldn't be correct, due to my lack of skill using pro level inkjet printers.
What do I mean by this is a Professional level printer/ "prosumer" , If you are looking for something to print your family photos, DO NOT BUY this. this is not for you. This is for someone who is looking to elevate their budding professional photography sphere.
The set up for the product was easy and straight forward, so 5/5 stars there.
The basics of the printer are easy to follow, and the applicable/ secondary software is easy to find so 5/5 stars there.

The colors are phenomenal, when you know what you are doing so 5/5 there
The printer's price is fine for what you are getting, my major gripe is not being able to buy a 12 pack of ink? having to add each induvial one to the cart is annoying, but the pro-1000 has 12 packs of ink for sale.

Ok on to the things I do not like. I have some 4x6" Hahnemule fine art papers, that, due to being baryta coated papers need to be put in the manual feed tray. this makes a boarded print very very difficult to produce. not impossible, but a significant amount of work. printing 4x6 on other photo papers is extremely easy because it defaults to the top feed, I may need to change paper driver settings when printing to do this, but I fear the prints won't look as good
I also do not like how the settings for the paper are simply generic names like heavy weight or luster. I think they need to put the paperweights/ density with the names. I have also looked into the paper manufactures too and some provide decent guidelines for their paper on specific printers, its just very tedious when you are trying 3-4 different paper-types for a specific image.
The final thing is making sure you do a manual nozzle check out of the box, and do ir periodically as you will get some banding when you print things with solid blocks of color such as a clear blue skies. this issue does seem to be fixed when you intentional select "unidirectional" printing too.
If I can, I will add color calibrated images of prints on different mediums with a not as to what I printed the image on.
overall I am very satisfied with this printer, it's my first prog-rade printer. As I sell more prints I will look to move up tot he 4100 or something eventually, when I am ready to print and sell larger images. I will keep this one until it no longer functions.

Not the easiest to set up with multiple downloads and reboots

Verified Purchase:Yes
The ink cartridges are different than the 1000. Connected and set up with the iPhone app fairly quickly. Then tried the same with the PC. Struggled for hours. Eventually gave up trying to do it wirelessly. Came back a few days later and it just worked. Weird but good.

Amazing Quality Photos With This Printer!
on October 16, 2024
Posted by: Teresa U
from NC
I received this printer for free in exchange for my honest opinion and review. The pros & cons in my opinion:
Pros:
Amazing print quality: The color, saturation, and detail are all incredible—it feels like you’re getting professional-level prints at home, which is perfect for printing artwork, personal photos, vacation photos, etc. (You won't need to order photo prints or enlargements anymore!)
Works for everything: This printer can print anything and with great results.
Easy set-up: Even though the printer is large & seems intimidating, the setup was easier than expected, even if you’re not tech-savvy.
Long-lasting ink (so far): The ink has held up really well so far, but time will tell...
Cons:
It's BIG: The printer is definitely on the bulky side, so you'll need to have the space for it—this isn’t a compact printer.
Ink might get very costly: While the ink has lasted so far, I can see it being expensive to replace if you’re using the printer for a lot of personal projects instead of work or professional use.

Beautiful high quality photos!

I received the Cannon imagePROGRAF PRO-1100 for free in exchange for providing my review. I would like to first point out that this is not a photo printer for beginners unless you are willing to put the time in to learn about high quality printing. That being said, I felt it was easy to understand the set up by following the prompts when the printer is first turned on. It did take about 10 minutes for it to go through the initial set up process and then running the print head alignment. It does go through a lot of the ink when first starting up. I would not recommend turning the printer off as it would take up a lot more ink to start again. It is quite loud when printing, I believe it’s due to the vacuum fan that holds the paper in place.
The print quality is where this printer really impressed me. It shows deeper hues of blacks and grays then I was expecting, much more noticeable than my old printer. The colors are bright and clear. I love the borderless print option. I used Cannon’s Professional Print and Layout software which was easy to use.
Overall, the only drawbacks are the ink consumption amounts and the noise level.
I love the quality of the photos and the included software makes it easy to use. I would recommend this to serious photographers looking to make high quality prints at home.

Best Option for it's Value
on October 19, 2024
Posted by: Shelin144142
I have wanted a printer that could do professional level printing like invitations and cards for awhile but I just couldn't justify the multithousand dollar options.
Ironically before I received this printer in exchange for a review, I had it on my wishlist because I was considering it for purchase this winter. I wouldn't have regretted it if I did.
It prints amazing high quality type face and vivid colors. It was super easy to set up as well, allowing me to basically jump in feet first with printing my wildest imagination.

How will you be using this printer?

I was provided the Canon Direct Pro 1100 for the purposes of this review. The opinions expressed are entirely my own based on my experience using the product.
The first thing I noticed about this printer was the weight of it. I struggled moving this printer from my porch into my office. The set-up process was very simple and connecting to their mobile app was very user friendly. This printer offers print quality like I have never seen before. I was amazed that I was able to print pictures at home that were in such high resolution. For someone that is required to print on demand at home for their business, this would be an excellent option.
If you aren't running a printing business or need to do high scale prints at home, this printer is not for you. The ink/maintenance cost can be very pricey. Also while this printer is very fast, it can be very noisy as well while in use.
Overall, for someone that needs professional level printing and high quality output, this is an excellent option. For casual printers, I recommend looking elsewhere.
