New Printer

I have always had problems connecting my Canon Pixma 8720 printer via my Wi-Fi Connection and have used it hardwired to my desktop computer. The printer does an excellent job printing photos but, lately it had become somewhat cranky handling paper.

My wife wanted a good photo printer that she could access from Wi-Fi and we decided on the Canon Pixma Pro-200 inkjet printer.

Our Canon selection was based on multiple parameters: first - I have always preferred Canon inks because they do not clog up the printer heads if they are not used for a while; second - I have a large amount of different sizes and types of Canon papers available; third: we found a new Pixma Pro-200 printer for sale on a one-day Black Friday listing. A friend who is a professional pet photographer uses the Pro-200 for all of his printing and highly recommended it.

I also like this printer because it has an LCD which informs me of the printing progress,

This printer set up vary easily and we can control the printing from both of our printers via Wi-Fi.

The resulting prints are excellent and we are quite happy with the selection.

I am going to donate my 8720 (which still works) to someone who needs a photo printer.

Enjoy! I had Pro-100 for several years and loved it. The 200 is supposed to be an improvement; I think better grays. I switched to a much more expensive Prograf 1000 pigment printer when I started selling prints, but the fact is that in an A/B comparison, the Pro 100 and Prograf 1000 prints were extremely similar.

It's not Canon inks as such that don't clog much; it's Canon's dye-based inks, which the Pro 100 and Pro 200 use. Canon's pigment inks are more vulnerable to clogging, as all pigment inks are.
