PIXMA PRO-200S Professional 13" Wireless Inkjet Photo Printer with 3.0" Color LCD Monitor, 8-Color Dye-Based Ink, Black | 3.0' LCD Monitor, 8- Dye-Based Ink, Wireless connectivity, Professional, Intuitive and Easy to Use

Before buying this printer I did exhaustive research on print quality and reliability. In truth, if you're looking for a quality dye-based ink photo printer, either Canon or Epson would fit the bill. But the research I found showed that the Canon print nozzles do not clog as frequently, and that Canon printers require less overall maintenance. The 200S is cartridge-based, so ink costs will be higher than the tank printers. Still, this printer seems pretty economical because after set-up, it did not use any ink that I could tell. After printing several letter-sized photos to test out different Canon papers, the ink levels are still almost topped up. The printer quality is, simply put, amazing. Even matte black and white prints are stunning. The colors on glossy, luster, and semi-gloss papers really pop. The blacks and gradients show details that I couldn't detect on my computer or phone screen. If you are a photographer or artist, you will be extremely happy with the results! Now, for the downside. Firstly, the printer itself big and fairly heavy. So you'll need a deeper and sturdy table to place it on. That said, it is also very well built and does not feel flimsy at all. Secondly, the set-up is not the best. If you use the phone, the install screens seemed to jump, and I couldn't expand the view without losing the page. I had to go to a youtube video of the installation, which was much better. There was also the issue of connecting to my wifi, which took a while. I also have a Canon Laser printer that was connected to wifi, and that connection was interfering with linking up to the 200S. After I turned off the laser printer, the 200S made the connection. I installed this for both my cell phone and my computer, although the install makes you choose one or the other. Others have said that the installation is not that great and I have to agree. Also, a note to Canon-- please hire an instructional designer who knows how to write clearer instructions! I'm pretty tech-oriented, so I figured I could get this to work. But this is a customer service issue and those who are not tech confident may have some issues completing the installation. If you're plugged in through USB it may be easier but I didn't use that option. I downloaded the Canon App for my phone, and print through that. I haven't yet downloaded any ICC files for other papers because I'm trying out the Canon papers first. So far, they are excellent. Overall, once the printer is set up, the ease of use, low ink usage, and super high quality prints make the Canon Pro-200S an incredible photo printer.

As a photography hobbyist, I’ve been extremely impressed with the Canon PIXMA PRO-200S. Setup was straightforward, wireless printing works reliably, and the print quality is outstanding. Colors are vibrant, detail is sharp, and my photos look far more professional than anything I’ve printed at home before. I especially like being able to print larger 13" images with great clarity and rich color depth. The printer is also much quieter and faster than I expected for a photo printer. Ink usage seems reasonable for the quality you get. If you enjoy photography and want gallery-quality prints without the complexity of a commercial setup, this printer is a fantastic choice.

I’m very happy with the print quality. Prints are almost stunning. Another plus is that it is probably the quietest printer I’ve owned. My only negatives are that I wish the ink cartridges lasted a bit longer, and that print speed was a little faster. However, the cartridges are not expensive and the print quality is worth the wait. So far, I’ve printed roughly thirty 8.5”x11” borderless prints mostly on matte photo paper, and the black cartridge is more than half consumed with dark gray and one or two others not far behind This is a dye-based printer, and I’m hoping that print longevity meets my needs. I’ll be experimenting with that in the next few months. The set-up guide was a bit unclear in places, but overall, set-up was easy, including wireless connectivity. Canon’s Professional Print and Layout software is not the most polished, but it gets the job done. For me, this printer represents a nearly ideal compromise among print quality, initial cost, operating cost, and maximum print size. After a bad experience with a rival brand photo printer almost twenty years ago—early onset print quality issues followed by discontinuance of support and even cartridge sales—I wasn’t sure I’d ever buy another. But as of today, I’m wishing I hadn’t waited so long to jump back in.

Its a good printer but easts ink like its going out of style. Cannon ink cartriges are too expensive and dont hold enough ink. Does not like secondary catriges and refills dont always work. But does create an excellent print. Those that review it online lie about how many prints it can actually create before changing inks.

Printer is sturdy and made well. My HUGE problem with this Canon Printer is CANON decided to OMIT 11x14 paper size printing. CANON tech folks said the reason was 11x14 is not a popular paper size anymore?! Since this was my favorite format, all my paper and frames are now useless... This fact causes me to reduce stars for the Pro-200S Printer Review. Very unhappy with Canon, and feel I wasted my purchase $$$ with this printer.

Wow! What a great printer!!! I was immediately impressed by the care and eco friendly packaging and the simplicity to set up. Then when I printed out a piece of my art both digitally created and from an oil painting- it was fantastic! I love it!!! Highly recommended!!!

It met my expectations ! After a week or more of research exploring written and video reviews from many different sources. I purchased was excited by the results. I have owned its little brother the Selphy CP 1500 for a couple of years and enjoyed it as sort of a proofer. The Canon 200s is a great choice for a semi professional printer at a great price point along with PPL software.

After my very old Epson R1900 had its cartridges discontinued by Epson, I needed a new large format printer. Although I am wary of the need for cartridges in this printer, so far it has been excellent. I am mainly a travel photographer and print 13x19 to hang in my home. This printer was easy to set up and performs perfectly. Excellent color reproduction, wireless works great. I print from my Mac Studio and have zero issues after several weeks and a dozen or so prints to replace some older ones in my home. The printer is large as you might expect but if close to a wall the top paper loading support may not extend up high enough. Not an issue as the paper rests on the wall. The app seems to work fine but I have not yet printed from my phone. So far the ink usage seems minimal even printing on ultra luster paper on best quality. I recommend as I thought about the next level up but I am happy with this purchase
