pro-1

Hi printer fans :) I recently bought a barely used Pro-1 almost for free. I knew that getting this box up and running again won't be easy sailing but saw the challenge in it and got it. I've now had already couple of successes but still it's not working as expected and I'm wondering if any of...

Hello Dear Forum Memebers :) I have recently purchased used PRO-1 printer. I managed to print 5 photos and then suddenly I got B800 error. I checked manual and it says to turn off and unplug my printer but it didn't help. When I turn on my PRO-1 printhead moves like it's all going through some...

Hi there, if I may, I need some help. Today I picked up a Canon PIXMA Pro-1. It's a used model, and the test print the previous owner tried to make only shows magenta and a tiny bit of cyan. He used to use cheap aftermarket ink cartridges. I have cleaned the machine today. Used paper towel to...

Need a little help. I have been using Mike’s precision color inks successfully in both my pr-1 and pro-1000 machines. Unfortunately I made a mistake in my last order for the pro-1000 and ordered more pr-1 ink. Now I find myself with an abundance of pro-1 ink on hand, and I have rut of...

Hello possible helpers! I'm trying to trouble shoot getting a Pro-1 back in printing action! I have no idea how long it has been sitting around (I'm a care-taker of a residence and saw this printer laying around and wanted to print some high quality photos!). Probably a rookie move in...

When I rebuilt my printer after fitting my Potty, the nozzle check and first prints were as perfect as before. Then I decided to do a A3+ (SuperB) print and noticed horizontal banding. It seems to be getting worse with every print. Attached are the new nozzle checks on both plain and Oyster...

Hi. So I'm having an issue with banding on my print. The degree of visible banding are dependent on the picture and on the size of paper used. I noted that the problem only occours when using a profile for glossy or semi-glossy paper however the banding are consistenly wrong (exact same...

A couple of weeks ago I noticed that my Pixma PRO-1 had started to print photographs with less detail and quality than usual and, occasionally, some band appearing with lighter tones. A nozzle check shows each of the patterns for the grey colours in block 1 split into two solid parts (see...

I am a systems engineer and hobby photographer coming from Spain living in Germany. I have been using very happily a Canon PRO-1 printer for several years (previously EPSON printers as well) until, suddenly, the photo quality of the PRO-1 prints deteriorated visibly. This was after a period of...

Hi, I bought a second hand Pro-1 that the magenta cartridge inside printhead was leaking,I was able to seal it but the last owner told me that they put 4 new ink cartridges (magenta) in printer and the printer was sucking them. Now I'm getting Error 5c20 and for sure printer is full of ink! I...

Did a print the night before, no problems at all. The next morning B200; alternating white and orange lights X 10. Tried a power reset; no success there. The printhead carriage is parked at the right side of the printer, the ink bay doors will not open, no sounds whatsoever. Aside from the...

Hello all - fresh newbie here. I've really tried to do my homework regarding this, but I believe I need your hands on experience. Bought a used printer some years ago, but never got around unpacking it even (yeah, I know...). But after some serious reading I decided to buy a set of third...

Hello. To first sorry my English. I bought PRO-1 from second-hand. I bought compatibile cartridge and printer printed only one paper and then i turned the printer off. After next starting pinter showed an error with batery (26x flashing orange with white flash). I changed battery and over...
