Title: Printing Panoramas With A CANON PIXMA iX6850? Post by: russellsnr on January 17, 2017, 11:14:42 AM Hi, Thought I had fixed my Epson R1900 but now getting Purple skies instead of Blue so looking at the CANON PIXMA iX6850 as a replacment, YES!! I would love to say getting the Pro-100s that was spoken about in a previous thread on PINK prints from the same Epson R1900 but alas I just cannot justify that amount of money on something I only do for my own satisfaction. The thing holding me back on the Canon printer/s is they don't seem to be able to do panorama printing as with the Epson and the extra roll paper holder fitment, am I wrong here? is there a way round it with Canon printer/s?
Many Thanks Russ Title: Re: Printing Panoramas With A CANON PIXMA iX6850?

Many Thanks Russ Hi Russ, How large would your pano be? I have had Epson after Epson, with an HP fancy one to start with many years ago. I loved my Epsons, and still do, but when I got caught up in the Archiving nonsense, and believed that pigment ink was going to keep my hobby prints for the Martians to see in 500 years, I succumbed to the hype. My R 1800 and my R 2000 had pigment ink, and I had got so used to pigment prints that I forgot the beauty of prints made with dye ink. I bought the Canon Pro 100 as it had a huge sale here, and HOLY SMOKE, the prints took my breath away. My wife said, where did you get that picture>? It's your shot from the Ringling Rose garden. So all I am saying is that it is 90% improved with Dye ink, and 10% improved over my R2000 because of improved technology. My thought would be, buy what you feel like spending, but see that it has dye ink. Where do you live, Russ? I see it is still on sale in the US (After rebate) for 129 bucks Check B&H photo. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/893738-REG/Canon_6228b002_Pixma_Pro_100_Photo_Inkjet.html Fred Title: Re: Printing Panoramas With A CANON PIXMA iX6850? Post by: russellsnr on January 17, 2017, 12:41:54 PM Hi, Thanks for the reply. I live in Rhodes GREECE so not the easiest place to buy a lot of things. Looked for the 100 but even in the UK cannot find one but if you put an S on the end there are plenty but around the £398 about $518 and that is on Ebay UK +£25 shipping about $30 so afraid way outta my reach. For the panoramas I saw Jose Rodriguez on youtube with the Pro 100 make a 26 inch pano by cutting the paper to length and letting hang over the back of the printer and I would probably not want to go beyond that. Thanks, Russ
