Anyone here using the Canon Pixma Pro-10 Wireless Professional Inkjet Printer?

Crazy deals on this thing right now. Curious if anyone here is using it.

Thanks.

When you print photographs with this amazing printer, is there special ink and some type of finishing product you use to preserve the photo from fading and/or damage from h2o.

I'm not sure which Kodak paper you're talking about... Kodak makes inkjet photo paper I presume... and in that case, no, it's not different... If you're talking about Kodak photo paper that has an emulsion on it and requires a developer, then Yes, it's different...

Inkjet photo paper is relatively common and inexpensive today... and pretty much matches the characteristics of the old film type silver based papers...
 
Last time I had something like this, the archival inks were stupid expensive (and DRM'd BTW); and if you didn't print often, you would waste a substantial amount of it cleaning the print head. Have things changed any?

Back then, the reality was I could order better prints from Apple for less money than just the paper and ink costs. So for those who have these, is it just for the instant gratification 'one off'? Are they really good enough for proofing?


Considering the deal, but just being cautious,

This is a good subject, subscribing. I tossed our HP photo printer in the garbage last year as it was going on needing print head #2, which cost 3/4 the price of a new printer. I tried all of the online remedies to degunk the old print heads but nothing worked, so the whole printer got chucked and replaced with a black and white laser printer. We were doing such infrequent color printing and much more B&W that it just made sense for us but I'm now missing the ability to print photo's. I definitely wouldn't want to get caught up in the same scenario as the previous photo printer.
 
I'm not sure what you're talking about? Apple ????? Can you be more specific?

Guessing you're on Windows. For the last few years I have been printing my photos directly from Aperture. It uploads them to Apple, and they are printed via digital laser to resin coated silver-halide photographic paper. Same system pro labs used, but cheaper (dramatically so in some cases - like the panos).

So I get pro quality 8 x anythings for 2 bucks. My recollection was that ink and paper were noticeably beyond that with archival inkjet. Wondering if that is still the case.
