The printer has very few noticeable controls on its attractive (well, we think so) silver and dark gray case. It’s not for churning out pages and pages of homework. Keep in mind that the Pro-100 is a specialized printer designed to turn out great looking photos from high-resolution files. And, the price will appeal to pro photographers on a budget or home users looking to add some oomph to their printed images. It probably won’t give you the same quality as one of the prosumer photo printers in the $1,000 price range, but someone would have to look very closely to see any difference. The Canon Pixma Pro-100 ($499) is a serious photo printer for those serious about their photography. But if you’re using a more advanced camera, like a DSLR with a bag full of lenses, the typical home photo printer won’t do you justice if you want to take advantage of all that high resolution. With smartphone photography, an ordinary consumer photo printer will do a decent job printing out selfies or photos from Facebook, in 4 x 6.
