Again a good tutorial. Yes for best printing we need the science & art, more experiment and about all patience. On verso papers I write notes, all information from PPL (don't like Pshop or Lightroom) soft of Canon, not only for a re-print in necessary at time image but for comparision on different surface papers. I my case recently I used Ilfod Warmtone and a bit tragedy because the ICC was incorrect on my Pro 200 Canon. In fact I selected the Icc of "equivalent" Canon driver for best result. This is a simply case but...for color not problem vice versa black and white is a war continues!
@@KeithCooper Great! I'm soaking up all I can learn about it, I really appreciate of the WORK that goes into making the videos. I am recently retired after 30+ years in the video industry. The last 12 as the in-house photographer and video producer for an advertising agency. Excited to filnally do some photography and printing for myself!! Thanks again!
I don't normally use varnish at all - it's difficult to apply well without the equipment and space to use it. More to the point it gives me a headache quite quickly... I have used a brush-on varnish on a stretched canvas print - which has been in our kitchen wall for nearly 20 years, and can be wiped down every year ;-)
Thank you Keith! I'd appreciate a similar talk on which printers you've tested that avoid the dreaded pizza wheels. You made mention that with certain 17" Epson's you can bypass the pizza wheels. I was hoping this new 17" Canon was vacuum transport only, but alas it utilizes pizza wheels too. Thanks bud!
I've never had a significant issue with this on any printer I'm afraid... It can sometimes fall into the 'wrong paper' category. Vacuum does nothing to move the paper - it's there to hold it flat under the print head nothing else. If you don't want any marks use a P5000, P5300 and roll paper. Or front loading and accept the extended rear margin. The P900 can do it too I believe, but I don't really like the roll unit for better heavier papers.
@@KeithCooper I used to custom print on the old double weight fibre based Ilford glossy papers (unglazed) in the wet darkroom. Over the years I've found a few digital alternatives that are visually similar, and with a similar off white paper base. But every time I ran a greyscale file, one with heavier blacks, I'd see those darned lines from the wheels. Had many desktop Epson's, including the 4900 and couldn't get away from them. Even spent many hours with Epson tech support talking about the 4900, the end result was, don't use the heavy Baryta papers with that printer. My last thought on the subject was maybe a Canon Pro-2600, just to get away from this issue. BTW, I've been testing the Canon Pro 300 for a few years now, what a beautiful result this produces on the Hahnemulhle fine art collection, especially the Photo Rag Baryta 315gsm, but it will leave tracks on certain images. The Hahnemuhle William Turner 310gsm paper, on the other hand, is truly stunning through the Canon, but boy, it's so fragile. Here are my images: www.photosection.com. Cheers, Chris.
A little off subject but Plug ins like Canon’s Print Studio Pro is not working with the newest updated versions of Lightroom Classic & Photoshop. Get a message saying it’s not supported by this version of LRC, same with PS. You have any helpful info or work arounds on it? Thanks for any replies. Even Calibrite’s Color Checker Passport , same thing. Shows on the desktop but,,,, Heard something with the Epson Printers also. I should add I’m running Win10 which is on its way out. I’ll try calling Canon USA next week if I can find their tele # again. I’d like to get some non subsription software & stay offline using that one computer just for photography.
You are a breath of fresh air with your honest advice 👍
Thanks!
Great video 😀
Thanks

Thanks - I don't always remember to write everything down :-)
Thank you Keith! How long will you have the 1100 there with you??
Weeks - Karen hopes... ;-)
Depends on some info I'm waiting for from Canon

I've the [main] written review to finish, then a video 'summary' - maybe more...
Hello Mr. Cooper, have you ever gained experience with fanish? What do you think about protecting the photos against environmental influences?
I don't normally use varnish at all - it's difficult to apply well without the equipment and space to use it.

@@KeithCooper OK, thanks, it's healthier to put it behind glass instead of sniffing.

Can't help with that here - only Macs in the office.
@ I understand. Are you using the subscription versions at all? If so, any problems?
