New Printer Canon Pixma IP8750 Set-Up Total Cost - PRINTING ART-WORK Will I Get My Money Back!! 

I'm on my second Canon ip8750, been using Canon for about six years. The main thing I've found out about this printer is that you can get away with printing in the standard quality mode and not high quality mode. This gives more ink life. I've been a pro photographer all my life, and I've done tests to compare the two, and believe me, there's no difference. This doesn't apply to black & white, because black & white can only be printed in the high quality mode. Thank you for your tutorial.

Just got this printer so gave this a watch. The only thing I didn't expect was how much I'd like that painting.

This was so, so helpful! I've been researching printers for ages, and also here on youtube to see what other artists use. And I have to say thank you again for the video you posted a while ago of the watercolour book that you started out, I ordered it on Amazon and I can't wait to start working through it! :)

It'll be interesting to see how many prints you can make out of one set of ink cartridges.

Hi Patrick it’s looks lovely your print of your painting myself haven’t got a printer or laptop so it’s great to see you printing your paintings and I have learned so much from you so thank you for sharing your videos.

Awesome piece of kit, can see how useful it will be to create prints, cards etc 🤗

Thank you so much I been looking for photo printer for months now. I finally found it thank you

Thanks for the tips. Also picked up a few from your replies to previous comments. Nice painting, nice print. P.S. Also following you on SkillShare. Fantastic!

the colours you're getting will be a result of a combination of things and the printer is actually probably not the defining factor. You're using a mac so you can prob get away without screen calibration, but I would recommend this as a first step. Secondly, you need the right colour profile from Canon for the paper you're using. You can download this online and then install it in LR. Finally, you'll need to proof the print in LR to get the colours right (or tones for B&W which I assume you don't do). You can prob find vids describing how to do this online. Only then can you be pretty close to certain that what comes out of the printer will match your expectations.

One thing to point out for you though is that the prints you'll get from this printer will not be archival or lightfast and they'll be susceptible to UV fading in the sun. Best look for a professional giclee printer near you - they're not too expensive. I have my ip8750 with a continuous ink system supply (CISS) from cityinkexpress.co.uk saved myself a LOT of money on replacement ink cartridges. NB I DON'T use the Canon printer for my art prints but for photo refs for my work.

Hi Patrick. I've been having major problems with my Brother printer. I guess the problem is my own fault, because I bought compatible inks, for some reason the printer wont except the yellow ink now. I've been told its because the printers memory knows its a compatible. I came to the conclusion that my printer had packed up, or simply broke down and therefore was going to chuck it out. But, its the inks that is the problem, so my advice to anyone is to buy the correct inks, they last longer and the printed colour is much better. Love your set up and I think its a steal for £450.

It looks good, but I would of like to have seen the original painting next to the print to compare.

Thank you! This video has helped me quite a lot! I, also have been looking for months. I’m looking to print out photo images of my daughter and I that look better than what I’ve seen. I’m leaning toward this printer. Have you done regular photos and if so, how is the resolution comparison? Thanks so much!

Did you not need to set up your paper and colour profiles on Photoshop print set up? (aside from your basic printer settings).. so your screen colours matched 95% without setting up any profiles. I have my set up so Photoshop manages the colour, and the correct matt paper profile...and it still prints out Purple instead of Pink and the rest of the colours are way off.

Great video, good information! Where do you sell your prints? You mentioned you sell in some "outlets". Thanks!

Hi Patrick. This looks interesting. I've been wondering about an A3 printer myself. You seem very happy with this one. Did you do much research before a purchase?

Hi thanks for the video, I just got this printer today and set it up I have not printed on it yet, was watching another video which said never turn it off as this can cause problems with with the printer and waste a lot of ink, what is your advice as my printer is on an extension lead and I feel safer turning it off. Thanks.

How do you get equal borders on your prints? I am pulling my hair out as the bottom edge of the paper margin is a lot bigger than the other margins. I've tried everything I can think of to adjust the margins but not getting anywhere. Can anyone help?

Hi Patrick, can you advise how thick of cardstock you can use without it jamming. I will be primarily be using it for 110lb cardstock or more. Thanks so much

Hi , what paper did you use, l am painting similar work to yours and have just bought a ip8750, thanks Simon

Will this printer print onto a sheet of white A3 / 0.5mm thick 300gsm card?

Hope the printers treating you well!! Have two questions that hopefully you can answer. Can you print A3 borderless? And do you know if you can print onto transfer paper (for clothing)?

I’m wondering if you can help me with my problem so when I print the darker colors come right off

Came out beautiful

Good to know on the printer, I need to break down and buy one. I seem to give up because there are so many of them. I dont believe I have seen one with the additional cartridges. I hope this goes very well for your business. Question, if you didn’t sign the painting before the picture was taken do you just sign the print for people?? And would you sign it on the border or the back???

Are the setup ink cartridges that come with the printer the new Chromalife 100+ inks, or the old Chromalife 100 (not 100+)? I have this same printer and I can't tell which version of the inks they are. It is not written anywhere on the printer box or on the cartridges. I think they must be the old 100 inks or Canon would have clearly wanted to put 100+ on the box as a featured selling point. I called Canon Support and asked. Even CANON could not tell me! Their answer was . . . .they don't know! Very disappointing. Think I'm going to toss them and put the 100+ in. Since I'm going to be selling these prints, don't want to take a chance with old inks that fade faster.

I'm curious if you can print on at least 90lb paper and get these great results?

The ink cost, prints in a beautiful green.

Very nice results. Did you scan the original or take a photograph in order to print it?

Have your opinions changed after a year of use? And what have Costa been like?

Could you tell me what brand paper you used? thanks

Cheers for the vid Patrick, Really useful. I’m just looking into purchasing this printer for art prints - would you still recommend?

do you know how well it prints downscaled images?

I use society 6 and they do all the printing so curious how this will work for you!!!

Hi Patrick, I have a question for you, I have tried on and off to register/log in to you site Pure Watercolour to no avail. Would you be able to help me? Thank you, much appreciated.

awesme! i wam looking into buying one form my watercolours, but one question, is the ink water resistant ?? much appreciate, greetings from Australia

Do you still get good results. Thanks

hey cool review i wondwer what camera did you use to make the video

Looks really good. How much would you charge for a print the same size as your original painting?

How do you print other sizes

is this better than the epsom xp960?

I just purchased a Canon Pixma Pro 100 and had to download ICC Profiles before printing from Photoshop. Did you have to do that before you printed. I think your print came out very nice.

I really love your accent 😍

You photographed or scanned it?

How big it print the paper? Like 13 x 19?

Thanks for the review. I'm a newbie wanting to print my art stuff but I want to get in slow before I invest in a mega expensive printer. I think this printer would do good for a starter like me. :)

The companies that produce printers and particularly ink , are bigger crooks than the ' great train robbers ' . Ink costs pennies to produce , apart from huge profit they expect to make , much of the cost is incurred by the technology to stop the copying the cartridges !

You were ripped off with that copy of lightroom buddy. It would have been more cost effective to get a Photographer Creative Cloud subscription - you get Photoshop and Lightroom for £9.98 a month and you always have the latest version. It might be more cost effective for you to stick the copy of lightroom on Ebay and subscribe to creative cloud.
