* I can say for sure that the Pro-100 colors seem more vivid to me than the Epson Stylus Photo r2000, which is a pigment-based printer, so maybe not a fair comparison. If there's a difference I would guess that the Pro-100, being newer, might have a slightly wider color gamut. Maybe you could see a slight difference side-by-side, but I never made that exact comparison. * The Pro-100 color gamut is not much different than the Epson dye-based printers I've used in the past. Having owned/used Epson inkjets in the past, I can say this: Should have addressed this in my previous reply. But even if they did, they may not have dealers in those regions willing to offer the same discounts that Adorama offered in this case. I would guess that Canon’s divisions in other parts of the world could offer similar rebates. Canon USA has some autonomy when it comes to marketing within the USA, and some discretion when it comes to the terms of the rebates they offer. Note too that this was a Canon USA rebate offer. So much so that it even makes financial sense to lose money on the initial sale just to get more printers into people’s homes. Canon knows that they will make money on ink sales after the initial printer purchase. Some percentage of rebates will not have to be paid out, because the buyer will not submit the form, or will submit it late, after the deadline has passed, or will orherwise fail to meet the stated rebate requirements.Ģ. In addition, Canon USA knows they can make more money on these “after rebate” deals than one might guess based on the final price, for two reasons:ġ. (Without the paper, the rebate was $200.) The $59 final price was specifically when purchased through Adorama, and was only possible because Adorama was willing to absorb the entire cost of the paper required for the purchase to qualify for the higher $250 rebate. Note that at least some of the discount is being absorbed by the dealer, not by Canon. Not sure if Europe EU is offering the same mail-in rebate. This contrasts with Epson which offers the same discounts in the USA and Canada for the P600/P800 printers.
And, that is after a $150 discount provided by the store. The Canon Pro 100 is currently selling for a best price of around $400 Can (including our taxes). In Canada, we have the same frustration, and have the same model as in the USA. Now, Europe does have a slightly different model (100s vs 100). I agree - I see these posts for great prices and then discover that they are only relevant if you live in the USA. Cheapest price in my country is 449 EUR Pro-10S is 635€ cheapest. I don't understand these US-only deals from Canon TBH. Either option is 100x better than scissors or those terrible guillotine-style trimmers. That said, I don't want to give you the impression that the Dahle trimmers aren't good. The RotaTrim equivalent is nearly double the price but is really the gold standard.
#PRECISION COLORS PRO 100 RED PROFESSIONAL#
The Dahle 552 Professional is big enough to trim up to 20" prints, and is a reasonable price. you may have already noticed that there aren't as many 2:3 ratio frame options out there as you would like, and the even odder ratios (like 13x19) are even rarer. It's often the case that a photo just works better cropped to a particular non-standard ratio anyway, so having a high-quality trimmer is important. I strongly recommend you pick one up - they make trimming photos easy. I have a large RotaTrim and a smaller Dahle. I'm going to suggest you get a decent paper trimmer. The second concern is about frame sizes and trimming prints. I've been using the borderless option for a long time, and the printer is fine. The first is concern about overspraying, presumably because you're worried about damage to the printer. If that’s really the case then I have to use 12x18 frames for 13x19 prints and 8x10 frames for 8.5x11 prints which also means cutting every print before framing. Almost every resource I looked does not recommend doing that because of ink overspraying. I'm only considering the Precision Color inks for my Pro-100 now because I have a Pro-1000 for prints that are going to other people. The Precision Color inks look great, by all accounts, but they don't have the fade/color shift resistance that Canon's inks have. If you don't have another printer that uses pigment inks, this is a mistake, in my opinion. W/o this option I wouldn’t even consider ordering the printer. I’ve already ordered and recieved Precision Colors ink and modified cartridges for refill. Deal: Canon Pixma Pro-100 printer for $59 after rebate.
