And while the driver interface is likely different with other programs and on PCs, I trust this will be generic enough advice for all.

I worked with Photoshop CS6, a MacBook Pro, and a balanced monitor. For other papers you should get and load the profile from the vendor website into the appropriate folder (Library>ColorSync>Profiles on the Mac).Īs mentioned, this is a consumer-oriented unit, thus Canon has followed the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) principle, and while it is just that, there are some matters I think should be pointed out, even to those who want to knock out a very nice result without too much fuss, and they have to do with printer settings. If you choose Photoshop as the color handler then you should choose the printer profile, here LU2 for the Canon Pro Luster. I’ll let you do the spec thing on other printer aspects on Canon’s website, but use the space here to talk about my investigations on image quality, procedures, and, along the way, hopefully illuminate the unit’s appeal and perhaps shortcomings. Canon claims about 30 years without appreciable color fading when protected and about 20 when out in the cruel world (“gassing”) with direct exposure to pollutants and high UV. There is always a dispute about the “lifespan” of dye inks, and this, of course, is dependent on display and storage. The ink carts are easy to load and while I did not test enough to get a sense of throughput per ink load (which is quite image dependent anyway) costs vary according to color and retailer: the average seems to be about $14 per cart, with more for the pigment black. It uses ChromaLife 100 dye inks with six wells-one being pigment black and the others being dye black, gray, yellow, cyan, and magenta.

The unit works with both Macs and PCs, both connected and via wireless, plus wireless devices. Setup is easy and guided by an Ikea-like guide, brief but easy to follow. It goes head-to-head in price with the Epson Artisan 1430, and while this is not a comparative review, it’s good to know the competitive landscape for your further investigations.

Canon makes it very clear in their marketing, and in the features the unit has, and in some cases lacks, that this is a consumer-oriented printer. The unit fits comfortably on a desktop (about 2 feet by 1 feet, given that you need more space for the catcher up front) and at 18 pounds or so, it does not require lifting from the knees, as do some 13x19-inch printers.
