However, the Epson fanboys would have me tarred and feathered for speaking such blasphemy! IвЂ™ve been singing the praises of my iPF6300 ( review) and iPF6450 ( review) printers great performance and definitive ease of use over the 7900 (and definitely over the clog prone 4900). According to one source, total printer sales put Canon in a higher spot, but that includes lower-end printers and copiers so from what IвЂ™ve seen Epson does appear to be the golden standard. Those are some bold words (and honestly dems fightinвЂ™ words :-) in the photo printing community where Epson is the alleged leader of the industry. If Ansel were alive today he would absolutely love the PIXMA Pro-1 Printer вЂ“ I have no doubt about that! It produces the most beautiful black and white prints ever made on an ink jet printer. The Canon PIXMA PRO-1 printer which uses the 12-ink LUCIA system with 4 level black gray inks and a clear Chroma optimizer ink is the first printing system that to me has fully solved. Henry also claims to be an apprentice to Ansel Adams when he was younger, so I took pause when I watched this video where Henry raves about the Black & White performance of the PIXMA PRO-1 printer:Д¬anon HD video interview with Henry Wilhelm about the history of photography, print permanence, and 'the look and feel' of silver-gelatin and inkjet prints ( low bandwidth version)

Henry Wilhelm is a very well respected name in the photo printing industry. (NOTE: I say good things about Epson later too ) Canon PIXMA Pro-1 Printer вЂ“ The Best Black & White Printer Ever Made? Henry Wilhelm Thinks So!Д¬anon PIXMA PRO-1 Photo Printer ( Adorama, Amazon, and B&H ) With that said, letвЂ™s stir the pot by referencing a AugCanon video interview with Henry Wilhelm about the history of photography, print permanence, and 'the look and feel' of silver-gelatin and inkjet prints. I hope to accomplish that in this article and hopefully my comments will be taken to heart by both Canon and Epson so they can make their products better. I love all of my printers and they all have their strengths and weaknesses, but I realize that my readers canвЂ™t afford to own so many so you just need someone to give you the facts as they see them.

In this article I share my advice based on my daily experience with the 5 professional printers I keep in my studio.

This blog has always been about open and honest feedback like IвЂ™d tell a personal friend with no sugar coating or bullshit. This article started out as a simple post about Henry WilhelmвЂ™s comments in the next section, but evolved into this long overdue discussion where I put my cards on the table about what I really think. I still believe in that mission and still feel strongly that both Epson and Canon make outstanding products. IвЂ™d just state my opinions and I saw them and try to encourage people to get their images off their computers and into their hands via printing. Years ago when I decided to take on the challenge of learning all there is to know about photography printing, I swore that IвЂ™d never pick sides.
