Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 is actually for

Most printer pages just tell you what a printer does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You're a fine art photographer, gallery, or studio printing exhibition-grade work up to 17 x 22" on cotton rag, baryta, and luster.
  • You print 50-300 prints a month and need real shadow detail and color reproduction — the LUCIA PRO 11-ink system plus Chroma Optimizer is the reason this printer exists.
  • You switch frequently between matte black and photo black media — the PRO-1000 has dedicated nozzles for both, so no ink swap, no waste, no waiting.
  • You need to match your soft-proofs accurately — the printer has built-in air feeding to maintain media flatness and a dual roll/sheet feed for thick fine art papers.
  • You sell prints and your reputation depends on them lasting — pigment archival ink with a Wilhelm-rated permanence of 60+ years on certain Canon papers.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 20-50 prints a month — the PRO-1000 handles low-volume use fine, but you'll spend more on cleaning cycles per print than the print itself if it sits idle for weeks.
  • You print mostly 13x19 or smaller — the printer is sized for 17x22 max, so you're paying for larger paper handling than you use. Consider the PRO-300 (13" max) instead.
  • You want wireless — Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n is standard. Most pros wire it via Ethernet for stability on big TIFF files.
  • You use Lightroom or Photoshop only — print plug-ins for both ship with the printer and work cleanly.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You need 24" or 44" wide output — this is 17" max. Step up to PRO-2600 (24"), PRO-4600 (44"), or PRO-6600 (60").
  • You print high volume (commercial poster work, repro shop) — this is a fine-art photo printer, not a production unit. Look at TZ-30000 or GP-6600S for volume.
  • You only print occasionally (once a month or less) — pigment ink printers run cleaning cycles on power-up. You'll burn ink keeping nozzles healthy. Send work to a lab instead.
  • You need duplex — there's no duplex on any 17" pigment fine-art printer, this included.
  • You don't have a dedicated color-managed workflow — without an ICC profile pipeline and a calibrated monitor, you're paying for color accuracy you can't see.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 is a 17-inch desktop fine art photo printer for exhibition photographers, galleries, and studios who care about how shadows render and how long prints last. It uses an 11-color LUCIA PRO pigment ink system plus a Chroma Optimizer (a clear coating that smooths the differential gloss between inked and uninked areas on glossy papers) at 2400 x 1200 dpi. Print sizes run from 4x6 up to 17x22, on stock from plain paper through luster, baryta, and cotton rag fine art papers up to 0.7 mm thick via the manual top feed. Two dedicated black inks (matte black and photo black) have their own nozzles, so you can move from a fine-art matte print to a glossy luster print without an ink-swap purge — the single biggest workflow improvement over the older PIXMA PRO-1. A 13x19 borderless print takes about 2.5 minutes; a 17x22 borderless takes about 4 minutes. Connectivity is USB 2.0, 10/100 Ethernet, and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n. The 3.0" LCD handles status and ink monitoring; you drive print jobs from Lightroom, Photoshop, or Canon's Print Studio Pro plug-in. Footprint is 28.5" wide, 17.1" deep, 11.2" tall, 71 lb — bench-top sized. The thing to know: this printer is happiest when used regularly. Sit it idle for weeks and the cleaning cycles on power-up will eat into your ink budget. Best for 50-300 prints a month.

Supplies & consumables

Toner, yields, and what to actually reorder

The #1 question we get on this printer is "which toner do I buy?" Short answer: you have two cartridge options and a drum. Standard yield TN830 covers roughly 1,200 pages. High yield TN830XL covers roughly 4,500 pages and is the better value for most offices. Pick XL unless you print very little.

The drum unit (DR810) is separate and usually lasts 15,000 to 30,000 pages before it needs replacing. At a typical small office volume, expect to change it once every 2 to 4 years.

If you lease this printer through us, toner and drum are included. You never pay for supplies separately. That's usually the better deal once you add up real costs over 3 years.

What customers actually say

The 5-star consensus: "it just works"

Small sample size, high signal. The 2 verified reviewers picked this model to replace older inkjets or aging Canon machines. Common threads in the feedback:

  • "My husband needed a printer for his fine art prints at home and this has been worth every penny. The print quality is noticeably better than what we were getting before, and it's been reliable over the past couple years."
  • "Good printer overall, handles the heavy paper stock well and the Lucia pigment inks produce nice results. The main downside is the ink cartridges are expensive and it takes a while to learn how to get consistent color profiles set up correctly."
