The Canon Pro-1000 can now (after quite a bit of asking by users) print panoramas. All that was required was modification of the printing software. This has been done & is available.

In reply to John Siebel. Hi John, thank you for reading and glad you find it helpful. Did you use the Epson P800 and Canon Pro-100 for a long time before they stopped working? Are there reasons why they cannot be used anymore?

Thank you for the outstanding photographic printer analysis. I currently have an Epson P800 and a Canon Pro-100, both 17-inch wide format, both relatively new, neither of which works!
I only want one printer this time so I am trying to decide between the Epson P900 and the Canon Pro-1000. The panorama is causing some hesitation.
Again, thank you very much for the highly informative article.

In reply to Andrew Herman. Hi Andrew, thank you very much for sharing your experience with us. Great to know that the ImagePrograf Pro-1000 printed without any issues after being in storage for 2 years. Also thank you for the tip about printheads for Epson and Canon :)

So a couple of comments. I own both an iPF6300 and the Pro 1000. I sold my house and relocated a couple of years ago so both printers have been in storage for a while. I haven’t been able to set up my 6300 yet, but last week set up my Pro 1000, which sat unused for the past 2 years. My 6300 has had clogging problems and I’ve read articles stating the Pro 1000 can have some of these issue as well.

However, after 2 years sitting unused I just printed a 17″ x 25″ photo on the Pro 1000 and it came out impeccable. To be honest, I was expecting the printhead to be completely clogged. However, that wasn’t the case at all.

One other area that may make a difference (I’m not at all familiar with the 2 Epson printers -P900 and P5000 listed above) but prior Epson photo printers that had clogging issues required the printer to be sent to Epson for printhead replacement. The Canon printheads are user replaceable.
