I normally hate rebates, but this works out for me.

I recently found out my Canon Pro9000 will never have Windows 10 drivers, plus it has some issues that aren't cost effective to repair. I've always wanted to upgrade to a Pro-100, but didn't have the $400.

Until now.

There is a $200 rebate on the Canon Pro-1, Pro-10 and Pro-100 printers. Amex Gift Card.

If you buy a Camera too, the rebate can be up to $350 !

So, I've ordered my Pro-100 from Best Buy for $389 (interest free CC account) and after rebate that'll be $189. For one hell of a 13 X 19 printer.

Thank you very much :)

BTW... Be careful out there. There are some places selling these printers dirt cheap, and it's because the UPC codes have been removed and the rebates already taken. They won't be eligible for the rebate !

Make sure you buy from an authorized dealer.
 
I agree the rebates are nice. The big thing is this market is incredibly saturated with those printers, especially the pro-100. If you only need the printer, the best thing you can do is check CL and you can probably get one unopened with 50x sheets of 13x19 for $150 or less. I've had one never removed from the packaging with paper for sale at that price since January.

There are some fantastic deals going on right now with camera bundles that include the more expensive Pro-10 though.

The deals I saw for that had very high shipping charges, and were from greymarket resellers. I'm happy with my $189, no shipping charges, interest-free financing deal :)

Don't really care about the market. I just want a printer, and this is the one I've wanted for a long time. I don't like pigmented ink printers (such as the Pro-10). I don't like the way the prints look at all.

EDIT: That said, I might buy this one just for the carts. It's $5 cheaper than a set on amazon, and I'd get the printer free LOL. I assume these come with full carts.

Canon Pixma PRO-100 13x19 Printer

EDIT AGAIN: Shit. If I can get that one for $100, I'm cancelling my order LOL

It looks like a lot of people bought the camera bundle just for the camera, and don't want the printer!

Amazon.com: Canon PGI-29 12-Color Ink Cartridge Set: Electronics

I hardly print anything nowadays, I have an Epson 1280 that I haven't used in probably 5 years or longer, lol.
Should just toss it since the heads are probably clogged so bad that no amount of cleaning will clear the nozzles.

An Epson that has sat for 5 years probably has a toasted print head. I've had 5 Epson printers fail over the years, and every single one of them was because it sat unused for a few months and the print heads clogged up and could not be salvaged. Never again.

I've got an old Canon ip8600 that sat in a closet for 3 years and it worked perfectly the first print job I sent it.

36ml per cartridge :) But that's still expensive.

Then again, this is a very high-end Pro printer for use in print shops. People would actually be paying for the prints that roll off these things.

I was contacted to get this guys sign shops printers and cutters to all work from their 2 workstations. I had never worked on that kind of equipment before and I was able to get everything working like they wanted.
I had to break out the soldering iron and re-wire a couple of Serial Port switch boxes so that the 2 cutters could be switched to work with either workstation.
He was so happy since the local guy that tried to do it couldn't and still charged him an arm and a leg.
I think we charged him $600 for the 10 hours we were there and he was very happy.
I did all of his tech work for him from then on till a couple of years ago when my hips, neck, and back started failing.

lol, sorry for the rambling, I just got caught up with the little story. Was just going to post this image of the giant inkjet printer he had (he bought the newer one that was more than twice as fast as this older one. New one was $32K :eek:.)

Canon almost always offers huge rebates on their Pro-XX line of printers. I have picked up three Pro-100s over the last few years for $49, $49 and $0 (after rebate) from B&H. I suggest you wait for a better deal.
 
How THE hell did you get one for $49? That's ridiculous.

I just grabbed one with the paper, which is not cheap, for $150 and I feel I won :)

My father did this around Christmas from a local dealer and after local sales, it was $100. The printer is absolutely amazing.
Fair warning, ink is COSTLY (12 cartridges or something), but for the kind of printer you are getting, this is an impossible deal to pass up.

Their rebate is wrong. It says $250, it's only $200.

False. CLick on the rebate form on the B&H page (DIFFERENT FORM FROM THE ONE IN THE OP!!!) and scroll down. B&H are giving you a free box of paper which increases the rebate to $250. It's only $200 if you get JUST the printer. Which, of course, would make no sense.

Canon Pro 100 PIXMA $49.99 after rebate and promo code offer

Canon Pro-100 Rebates

About a year ago, B&H also ran an unadvertised special where you could buy a Pro-100 and a 50 pack of the 13x19 paper for free after rebate. You had to call them on the phone to get the deal and it sold out in a few hours.

BTW, Canon is very good about honoring rebate claims. Just make sure you use certified mail for the submission.

The typical going price for the Pro-100 is $100, and it dips to $50 periodically.
 
You can get these printers used for super cheap. Canon is basically giving them away. I got my 70D + Pro-100 for $900 two years ago (after rebate). I thought about selling the printer, but decided against it because the market is flooded with them and there are lots of used ones out there (meaning the price hit the floor). I have found similar deals every 6 months or so (new) since I bought mine.

Not saying these are bad deals, but you can typically find them any time, especially if you care to search "used" (lots never opened).

I have done several prints full size for around the house though, and I will say it does great. Have fun setting up color profiles though ;)

Also, I thought I read somewhere you can refill the cartridges yourself for only a few bucks a cartridge (assuming you buy commercial ketchup-bottle size ink - still cheap). I was going to try this if I ever burn through the cartridges that came with my printer.
 
Picked mine up tonight. Everything was as it should be.

While I'd love to be able to get one for $50, that just isn't going to happen. At least not around here.

All the $100 offers are scarfed up minutes after posting.

I'm happy with my $150 with paper purchase. No tax, no shipping, and no rebate waits.

And holy crap, I thought my Pro9000 was big. Hah!
 
I wonder what it costs to actually build one of these. I'm having a little trouble figuring out the marketing angle on all this from a profit standpoint.

It's almost like Ford, setting the price $20,000 higher than it should be, then offering $13,000 rebates

Ink ink ink. The money is in the consumables, like any other printer. The pro paper is also pricey, but VERY GOOD.

That I know. It just seems to be on the extreme side considering this is a high end printer of at least a Pro-Sumer level.

I get $99 printers. Just not at this level :)

Cheap as they are, I may even use generic inks. I've been using them in my MX850 for a few years now.

Then again, probably not. At least for now. This is strictly for photos anyway.

I think the photo printer is about 10 years away from extinction, at least on the do-it-yourself side. Your already better off Using photo services in most cases, and the Millennial Culture just keeps stuff on their cell phones.
 
I did a lot of onsite print work from 1999-2014, this Shinko 8x10 Dye Sub was my favorite printer. It was roll fed and didn't jam up like our sheet fed Kodak 8000 series printers did.

This is one of the Kodaks I was fixing one night,
