The Cheapest Way to Display Large Photo and Art Prints
Please, oh please, keep the Q1 videos coming when you can! As I was getting serious with printing after buying a Canon 4100 a couple years ago, I was surprised to find how dissatisfied people were with general printing software, and that’s how I stumbled into Qimage One couple years ago. I figured that if I’m gonna learn, I wanna learn on the one I’m gonna use forever not something everyone hates. So I dove in, and despite a learning curve, I’m glad I did. I love many features and it just works for me. And yes, I agree Andrew from Binartem is always available to bail me out when I get stuck. Right now he’s helping me through a couple property setting bugs that popped up after loading the new version onto a new M4 Mac mini, but for now the workaround is pretty straightforward. But man, nothing like learning by watching somebody mouse around, so please keep it up! As for Folders I’ve always needed a better workflow: LR-to-Q1 so this helps, thanks. Will be printing for local clients, but I’m also going to be selling my own art so I need to establish some folders of repeat prints. I just haven’t decided how I want to structure that as an export folder from Adobe that I can reach into directly from Q1.
Etchings, engravings, mezzotints, woodcuts, linocuts, lithographs, screen prints, all had a border, try were numbered and signed in pencil. A photograph without a border looks easily as if a section was cut off from the whole paper format.
I watched your video on color issues with the Canon Pixma Pro-100 and you said to use Canon Manages Colors and not use paper profile. In this video you suggest using Color Sync. I'm confused.
@@joannesedgwick2854 i’m sorry for the confusion. The pro 100 has a lot of well documented color issues depending on your software and your operating system. If you’re having those color issues letting Canon manage colors is a way to get your colors pretty close and get around the issue. But if everything is set up and working properly using ColorSync is the proper method to use ICC profiles and get your colors as accurate as possible. Does that make sense?
I currently print on a pro 1000 and I love the printer. the quality of the prints and the pretty much hassle free operation has made it a joy to work with. It feeds fine art paper pretty well. I regularly use 315gsm 21mil paper and it prints like a champ.
Thanks for sharing. Today my P900 had a bunch more issues and I am thinking about pulling the trigger on a new pro-1100!
(NO SHOUTING) *CANON WILL NOT FORGET TO SEND YOU A CHEQUE FOR THIS VIDEO!!! LOL!!! ANYONE WHO HAS DONE SOME RESEARCH ON CANON VS. EPSON PRINTERS KNOWS THAT BOTH TOP PRINTERS ARE AT THE SAME LEVEL OF QUALITY. WHAT YOU SAY IS INDEED COMPLETE BS!!! MANY UA-cam VIDEOS CONFIRM THIS POINT!!!*
Thank you for a great explanation of the iPhone lenses
THANK YOU!!
This was awesome, just what I needed and no fluff. Thanks so much!
Way too many steps and way too hard to get the color balance right. Can't you just do a custom white balance setting in-camera? I don't use capture one or lightroom. I use camera raw.
I'm not sure what to tell you. Just because there are too many steps for you doesnt mean it's not what is necessary. No you cannot just use an in camera white balance. If you are shooting your own art knock yourself out. But if you are shooting for a client that is incredibly un professional and will spend days trying to get the prints to match. Camera Raw will do it just fine, it's just going to be more work.
Thank you for this. I was leaning towards an Epson but will have to give serious consideration to Canon.
What size are you looking at?
I am getting the message that "filter failed". How do I fix this?
In what application?
Tried Canon Photo Paper Pro Premium Matte and was disgusted by the feel, texture, and print quality. It was essentially like cardstock, and created very ugly prints. It also seemed like there was no coating or finish on the paper whatsoever. What matte paper do you recommend?
That surprises me, thought Ive never used it. I use Red River Polar matte. My fine art paper is matte as well which is Moab Entrada Natural.
@@phototocanvaspdx Thanks for the recommendations.
I just got the dreaded service request for an ink absorber on a Canon 300, after only two years of printing. Print quality has been great but a lot of ink seems wasted over time. Any recommendations in that level, with a new priority on being able to replace the absorber? Thanks.
No my small format Epson and my large format Canons all have easily removable maintenance cartridges. Sorry! But ill tell you its not a Canon thing to have all the wasted ink, and two years doesnt seem like a super long time especially if you use the printer a lot.
@ Thanks again.
Great job building your business congratulations 🎉
Thank you kindly!!!
Can you send me links on the equipments you mentioned on video
they are in the description
My first photo printer is a Canon Pro-100 that I picked up at Goodwill for $20 dollars. It's absolutely a love hate relationship. I really happy with the results I can get out of it but that process is far from easy or straightforward. At some point I hope to upgrade to the Pro-1000 or Pro-1100
Great video and great advice. Agree with Canon choice 100%. I had an Epson 9800 which was horrible with the clogged heads. I found an alternative ink supplier and bought bottles and did my own refilling. I had to clean the heads everyday. I wasted a lot of the "cheap" ink too. The results were great but the constant head cleaning was just not practical because I wasted ink and more importantly lots of time. I got out of the large format printing but if I ever go back in again, Canon will be my choice hands down. I also have an Epson P800 but have not used it in years. It is probably dead by now!! BTW, I bought several Pro 100 printers when Canon was practically giving them away. I have not had major issues with them. Again, I am using after market bulk inks (refilling my cartridges) and the colors are as good as the OEM Canon inks. I have almost 85% cost saving in ink cost.
Thanks for your comments! So good to hear im not the only one. Are you on a PC? The pro-100 issues I had were all about double profiling and its a well know problem. Just curious why you didnt have the issue. I used third party inks in it for a while but all those images are insanely faded after just two years (in a drawer, no sun exposure). After that I'll never use after market inks again.
@@phototocanvaspdx No I am on the Mac platform. I have not had fading issue as I keep my prints away from strong light and or in portfolio books. The color fidelity and print brightness vs. the screen have been haunting me to this day!
@@bizpixvegas7651 thats lucky, my prints were stored in drawers and still look awful (the third party inks prints). What software do you use to print?
@@phototocanvaspdx I use Photoshop and standard printer drivers. At some point I profiled some of my papers with the Epson but have not done so with my Canon. The issue I am having is plugged up shadows and lack of shadow detail. Overall the images look good but not to the same detail level I am seeing on my monitor. I do use a BenQ 2K monitor that supports sRGB space but not Adobe RGB. I have an i1 monitor calibrator and calibrate the monitor from time to time.
Thanks for sharing your experience with Canon/Epson printers. After doing my research the Canon imagePROGRAF line feels like the better choice with fewer head clogs than the equivalent Epson products. My Pro-4600 will be delivered November 4th. You’re more than welcome to come test it out to see if it’s worth an upgrade. I’m coming from a Pro-100 (which is dye ink, I believe) so it’s definitely worth the upgrade in my situation.
Thanks! Im definitely excited to see what you get out of the 4600, but I sure hope I don't need to upgrade for a long time. It's really important to me that I have pretty much the same product coming out of both of my machines in case I need to split a job. But for sure ill upgrade them both as I grow after hearing about the 4600!
I have recently discovered your channel and am really happy that I did as I like your style and the substance of what you convey. On the point of your video today, I used to own two Epson 17” printers, one of which being a 4900, and while it did produce beautiful prints when it worked, it gave me (to your point) so many clogging issues that it turned into a nightmare despite having two print heads replaced under warranty. I passed on the P900 for the reasons that you described and I went for the Canon Pro 1100 which is mechanically the same as the Pro 1000 but with reformulated inks. Having read nothing but praise about the paper feed system of the Pro 1000 and the quality of its prints, I was eager to give Canon a go. While the Pro 1100 produces gorgeous prints when it works the way it should, it unfortunately has banding issues that make every print a flip of a coin: will it print correctly or will there be banding? Canon replaced my unit under warranty (outstanding customer service I have to say - I had my replacement printer at my doorstep in less than 24 hours) but unfortunately the new one displays the same banding issues as my previous one. I hope that they will be able to fix this issue ASAP otherwise I will have to switch to an Epson P5370 as consistency and predictability are features that you would expect from a printer that gets marketed as a “pro level” printer. Just my 2 cents.
Such valuable info, and thank you for the kind words! Im sorry to hear of your struggles with the 1100 (I didnt even know about that one!). I assume you've adjust the paper feed? I get banding occasionally in the large formats and when I run a fee adjustment it fixes it. Glad the customer service has been helpful, they have always been solid with me.
@@phototocanvaspdxThank you for the suggestion - you have no idea how many things I tried. I have also been working with a technician who is with the manufacturer of my FA papers of choice (Canson) who has been nothing short of amazing at helping me out. I have custom profiles for all my Canson papers (created through their .a1mx files) and among other things I ran paper feed calibration for all of them. It did improve things a little bit, but it was only marginal unfortunately. I even sent the images that gave me most trouble to the Canson technician and he could replicate the issue on their Pro 1100. Unfortunately there is an issue with these printers. It does not affect all prints, some that I made and came out right are just beautiful, with spot on colors and deep blacks, but the problem is that you never know when the issue will present itself and that just doesn’t work. I am hoping that Canon is on top of it and fixes the problem soon because I want to like Canon printers but I am not there yet because this has been my first experience with them. I heard from you and from many others that their large format units are outstanding but unfortunately they are not what I own :-)
@@Light_Quill Again, so much valuable info. if you hear about a fix let me know. Whatever you do I would not switch to Epson. Does the regular Pro-1000 have the issue?
@@phototocanvaspdxI sure will - I hope they can come up with a fix soon. As to your question - based on what I read the Pro 1000 did not have banding issues (I did not own one, so I cannot attest to it directly), however the Canson technician told me that one of the images that I sent to him displayed banding on both the Pro 1100 and the Pro 1000. Go figure. One thing that I meant to add regarding your point that Canon print heads are user replaceable and Epson’s are not is that there is a reason behind it. Canon uses thermal print heads which heat up ink when they spray it out, so they are essentially consumables that need replacing after a certain (high) number of prints. Epson on the other hand uses piezo technology for its print heads which does not require heating up the ink to be sprayed out, so in theory their print heads should last much longer and not require replacement by the user. That is of course unless they clog all the time as my 4900 used to!
20 yr Epson art printer here. I've never personally used the small format printers but I have heard the P900 is terrible for feeding thick paper and even worse if you add the roll paper option. I just run the small sheets through my big Epson printers. I try to use 17x22 cut sheets, but I have been known to print on cut offs. Printing on roll cutoffs is risky business as there is a good chance of head strikes. I love my 9900's, and the 11880 and we have been getting used to the P20000 over the past year but it's temperamental. Been thinking of switching to Canon just for the user replaceable printhead. The P20000 head is around $2500 plus tech fees. Love this video as I have been meaning to ask why you use Canon vs Epson.
I really appreciate your input. Seeing as that I don't actually use a large format Epson I was nervous this would just annoy people. I tried to be clear that I was just speaking to my experience. Honestly Im looking for one person to say why Epson large formats are better, as I see them in more shops by like a 2:1 ratio at least. And every one I know with Canons loves them. Look into the 4600 series that just came out I hear they are incredible. Thanks again for the input!
I had a customer in yesterday talking about how Epson large formats can run sheets. My canons can but they roll them and you need like an extra foot of paper for the printer to grab as it finishes printing. How do Epson large formats deal with sheets in those regards?
@@phototocanvaspdx It sounds like large format Epson's might have the advantage on large cut sheets. I've had a lot of luck running 36x48 cut sheets from Hahnemuhle and Innova through mine. The 9900, 11880, and now the 9570 all have straight through paper paths. My P20000 is not a straight through path but it still handles thick fine art sheets very well. No extra foot of paper needed, more like an inch on the Epson. I am always leaving some kind of margin and trim the excess so I do not really print right to the edge. Rolled Fine Art papers have caused me plenty of headaches over the years due to the curvature of the rolled paper hitting the print head. Those print head strikes can lead to a head replacement which is very expensive on an Epson compared to Canon.
@@josephsigler2699 For sure. I hadn't realized until this week that Epsons cut sheet design worked so well. Maybe Canon can consider that in future models! Ha! I will say that about 70% of my printing these days is fine art paper, and I have only ever had ONE issue with the head hitting the paper and it was a Hahnemule metallic. A good number of prints that come out of my P900 have head marks (on fine art paper). Im not expecting it to last very long, and will likely replace it with a Canon.
Have watched dozens of videos and you're the first to put a tube in a box. A bit extra material but that seems like the ideal for both protection and ease of shipment, cheers for sharing!
Glad to help!
The ones I bought from Amazon do not have strong enough magnets to hold up large canvas prints. I have a print that is 20 inches by 36 inches, and it falls off the top bars after a while. It does well on small canvas prints though.
Canvas would be tough I generally use paper. This week I’m testing a new option that doesn’t used magnets and they come in large sizes. Keep your eyes out for a video!
The mirrored edges option, is that something that is done with the Q Image One software?
Yep! There’s also a great script for Photoshop that lets you add a logo. I’ll find out what’s it’s called and post it.
Thank you! I figured out how to use the right paper profile but printer manages color was the key. I just boost the white in levels a touch and now my pixma 100 prints 13x19 photos that look exactly like the photos on my iphone screen. Skin tones are PERFECT!!
what nails compressor shell i use for home DIY use. I am not professional but need some time
even more trippy is add a 3rd and you can restore the light passing through.
Haha
great
The problem that I have with my printer in addition to the horrible color is that the printer constantly reverts to being offline. I just saw your video regarding the color problem and can’t wait to try it tomorrow but my printer is always offline. Any suggestions?
The first thing that comes to mind would be 2.4ghz vs 5ghz network. I believe the printer needs 2.4
Thanks! This is one of the best explanations
Love the simple set up thank you
French bread comes in a long paper bag, sure you find those in bulk online. If the sleeve is to weatherproof, wax paper maybe 🤷🏻
Oh thats a good idea! I don't use the plastic anymore, I just roll them in glassine but I like the bread bag idea!
Great video, thank you! I don't understand the issue with constant lighting vs. strobe? If you had soft boxes of the same color temp as the strobes why would it matter if they were on constantly or not? Thanks
Thanks! Because to use constant lighting your shutter speed would have to be slow enough where ambient light would affect the colors of the piece you are shooting. To use constant lighting you really dong want to do it in a room with windows, which is not an option for me. With strobes you can use a fast enough shutter speed that ambient lighting isnt a concern. I no longer use soft boxes thought. I have some other videos but need to do a new full description.
or do you mean other ambient room light that isn't for photos?
@@altstuder I mean light from windows or the lighting in the room. Daylight, strobes, and room lighting can all be different color temperatures which can cause color casts on the artwork. You need to have a controlled lighting temperature to get accurate captures.
It would be great to see an update on the polarizing method you are using to shoot paintings.
Thanks. It’s been really challenging and as soon as I have it dialed in, I’ll do a video.
What if I'm selling photos online only, and want the prints to be the closest to what customers see on the thumbnails (which are sRGB)?
Every monitor and room lighting is going to be different so you can never gauge that. I would always print an adobe RGB if possible SRGB if it’s not. Or p3.
Light from the lamps in a room doesn't bounce off a matt printed artwork. That will make the artwork stick out. It can stick out like a sore thumb..OR it can stick out like a beautiful center piece. IMO, go for matt only if the art is breathtakingly good. Else, the satin will add a flow and continuity to the eye which scans the room. Now if your walls are painted in semi-glossy finish and your artwork is in matt, the artwork is not going to participate in the warmth of the room when you switch on a warm light bulb. For the artwork to participate with the room's glow, it has to be in the same satin finish as the walls. In this case the satin canvas print is going to look way more beautiful and coherent.
Interesting take! Thanks for sharing!
Good looking print. Just curious, what were the dimensions of the original art?
8.5”x53”
Question what Format of Files usually used to sell Art Prints on Print on demand Sites? By the Way Thank you for the Video…Good Info
@@mesebak most print on demand places use Jpeg because they want high numbers of files using up this little space on their servers as possible. It’s not recommended. I always prefer to print from tiff when possible.
Thanks.
Hi, I changed the purge unit and I'm still getting the same error. any ideas please
Did you change the service mode settings?
@@phototocanvaspdx yes
@@phototocanvaspdx I don't really know what to do anymore. I'm sure the problem is not the purge unit, so install a new one. But what could it be?
Perfect 👍 looking for cheap easy way to mount my art. Thx!
You saved me a great deal of time and energy with this tip. I sincerely appreciate the help.
Super useful tips, thank you so much!
Yeah! I have updated videos too. Avoid printing with adobe software!
So basically, using these color spaces only makes sense in your specialized printer and paper right? most printers should still receive CMYK?
If you are talking about home desktop printers and what not I would use regular ol RGB. No average consumers are going to convert the files to CMYK so the printers are setup for RGB. The only people I know that use CMYK run presses.
Deepest lake on the continent!
cmyk percentage, percentage of what is it, is it from 100% of four colors cmyk or including base color (white), percentage of what is that wich we see in cmyk chart ?
what about cold laminating the print?
I just photographed some paintings for an amazing artist. She sells her paintings to an art consultancy company that does enlargements for hospitals and hotels etc. Obviously I'll have a dpi of at least 300 but what pixels/inches would you suggest I make them? Some of her paintings are small and some are 60"x60". She also requested they be exported as TIFFS. Since I don't know what size her future clients will enlarge them as what do you think the safest export setting would be?
For my own work, i like to scale to the final size and actually cut out the gaps. For example, if i plan to space the panels 2inches apart, I'll crop out a 2inch gap between the print areas. Think of it like a series of windows where the gaps actually hide part of the scene. This avoids skewing the total aspect ratio once hung, and avoids some oddities in some images (like what appears to be a reeeaaly long car or something lol) I prefer it on my own mutli panel prints, but hard to work with others' prints this way sometimes withiut very careful coordination
That’s a rad idea! I’ll have to try that!
Thank you for this great presentation, extremely helpful Clear instructions, easy to follow and understand, and ACTUALLY learn from!!!!!!
Good video but for a comparison should rwally have the same photo for all three examples. Comparing a dark sunset pic to a bright photo of a face is just too different.
Noted. In my shop I have the same photo for comparison. My goal for the video was to focus on the reflective aspects. So yeah I agree for the contrast differences, but I was trying to show photos that I felt fit the paper.
