Canon - PIXMA PRO-10

I'd say same goes for canon pro 10/1, 300/1000, 310/1100... Have a pro 10s atm and it would be far better at this than at what i employ it ! (Vibrant illustrations on glossy paper xD)

I currently have a Canon PIXMA Pro 10 printer at home which has quite a bit of age on it although it functions fine and still produces decent quality prints. I am considering a Canon PRO 1100 as an upgrade; it gets fantastic print reviews and I believe would not suffer as many technology issues as my PRO 10. What is giving me pause is the cost of the ink cartridges - $700 + for a full set of 12 80 ml cartridges! I know good ink isn’t cheap, and those are much larger cartridges than I purchase for my Pro 10 (18 ml). At a minimum if I make this jump I will be forced to print larger and more often since I gather the ink starts to degrade after six months or so. So maybe not a bad thing. Does anyone have experience with this sort of printer and could weigh in?

Different kinds of print mechanisms totally. Selphys ise a film cartridge not ink. Like the Sony passport photo style printers. They are not very cheap to use compared especially to a ecotank or megatank type printer that use ink. High end photos you would want something like a Epson stylus photo model which there are a bunch or a high end Canon. Like an older mp990 or a lore modern 9000 pro 9500 mark 2 or like a pro 10 or similar. Depends on how often you will print and how much printing vs cost and quality

I have a pixma 10 does an amazing job

Nah this person is so wrong lmao. You can get a Canon Pixma that does 12x18 prints starting at $200 then a separate scanner or use your phone for scans.

Canon Pixma line for printing and get a separate scanner. Also you might not need a scanner anymore as your phone camera can handle scanning quite well - especially if you’re just using the image to trace into vector etc.

Roller marks problem how to fix: Get better quality paper (also some printers if you select thick paper on configurations, also make it leave less roller marks, don't know if this is the case). Or Get a printer that is more focused for photos. (right now the cheapest are the canon G5/6XX series). If you don't find them, then the Epson ET8500/8550 (they do still leave some roller marks but with better quality paper they are fine). Or the epson ET 8100/18100 (it's ink does not have lightfastness). I only recommend ink tank printers for most uses cases. If you are going for pro level printing and going to sell them for high price then there are the Canon Pixma Pro Line, and Epson Surecolor p700/900. About your brother, well i don't recommend because it's a cartridge printer(seriously this black that you used could easily be like 3-5% of all of it's black ink). I would return if still possible. And purchase any ink tank.(If you won't print like 40+ documents pages or 5+ photos a month then it's a fine printer, more than this only if you convert it for ciss or use somekind of compatible cartridge). Edit: Ohh and about consumer level printer that you want mostly for documents, and then some photos. Canon Megatank GXXXX series. And Epson ET 2/4XXX series, then you will compare price and what they offer, like duplex, in case of epson a4 borderless as well. IF you want fewer features but better photos, some epson have 4 dye ink that are better for printing on cheaper glossy ink (you can check if their black tank is the same size as the colored tanks, if it is the same size then it's ink is dye).
