Chip Resetter for Canon ImagePROGRAF 1000

[photog-art-printer]

Ahhh ... that makes me feel better (if you are correct).

This is what caused the panic (presumably the info is wrong) ...

Quote
Despite being an A3+ (329 x 483 mm) printer, the driver actually supports a paper size of 431.8 x 558.8 mm, which is almost A2 size. So, if you have a roll of paper that's 431.8 mm wide, you can simply cut off about 560 mm and feed it in through the top feeder.

Comments?

Width is maximum 355mm.
I cut a slice from A2 just in case. From a roll a bit longer, but these printers never had a panorama software update.
PRO-1000 and PRO-300 can do 990mm (as Epsons).

 

[photog-art-printer]

Almost the same size.
Presuming my paper length is 61cm (24 inch).
(Prints will be sized to fit 61cm/24 inch and whatever the width variable is depending on printer).

Sample below is a visual indicating the difference between 35.5cm width (as you state above) for the 9500 (top), and 43cm for the Pro-1000 (bottom).
Suitably sized as I would do in real life.
When scaled to fit the 9500, the image length needed to be reduced so that it fitted within the width (height) parameters.

ADD .... but you say the 9500 cannot print long (panorama) .... so this example is wrong, because the 9500 could not achieve 61cm length?

EDIT ... of possible interest (info may be wrong) ... ( is wrong according to Hat )

Quote ... the Canon 9500 Mark II has a Custom setting for paper sizes, although it’s a little different from its predecessor, with a maximum size of 420 x 676 mm

If true, (apparently, it is false) good news for palombian .... no need to cut roll down to A2, and then another cut. Just figure out your maximum capability and chop up the roll to fit.
No problem, your welcome

Canon print sizes are wrong in the printer preferences, they have always had this issue over the past 20 years and have never corrected it..

This shows the incorrect size settings..


You can only have an image size of 595 mm long, regardless of your paper length..

P.S. print reviews are notoriously wrong in a awful lot of cases..

The main difference between the Pro-1000 and the Canon A3+ models isn’t the maximum paper size but the ink and paper management as well as the overall design of the printer (in electronics and mechanics). The Pro-1000 plays clearly in a superior league and it isn’t intended for amateur use. Meaning that if you print only a few dozens of prints per month it becomes very expensive to run.

As Palombian correctly said, the maximum size admitted by the Pro-9500/10/100 series is 329 mm wide x 676 mm long with the normal tray and 355mm.wide x 584mm long with the manual tray.
No way you can surpass those limits. Even if it’s possible to insert slightly larger and much longer sheets of paper, the driver will refuse to print.
Additionally, the Pro-10, Pro-100 and Pro-9500 impose wide top/bottom margins (30-35mm) when you use fine Art paper settings. The Pro-1000 hasn’t this restriction and. I think, the newer Pro-200/300 neither.

Interesting.
To make sense of the numbers, this image provides a visual, and compares 355 x 584 (Canon 9500) with 432 x 610mm (Canon Pro 1000).

Margins are fine for me, as I need a bit of space around the image.

Lets see how long it takes for me to break it.

That is why my other thread concerns cheap ink.

History
Usually I do not print, although while at school, a professional photographer paid me 50p (£0.5) per hour to print for him, and attempted to teach me how to do it.
50p an hour was quite a grand sum in those days for a child. Some of my peers worked for an entire day to earn that much.
Printing paper was marked with a number depending on the contrast (hard, medium, soft, etcetera) and the photographer (who became a National newspaper editor) and I had opposing views about which was correct.

In my experience the PRO-10 can print higher gamuts and deeper blacks on matte papers with normal Matte paper settings (without 30mm border restriction) than the PRO-9500 where only Fine Art lays enough ink.
It is not a major concern for me anymore.

I know people who are very happy with their PRO-1000 and did 2 years with the original inks. Not all colors are empty at once so you can spread the costs. Anyway, they don't care, it is their hobby.
Since it costs only 220 € more than a PRO-300 it can be very tempting.

Since you have to flush a lot of OEM ink before refilling it with 3th party (at least if you want the colors right, that's what you bought this thing for), and the ink alone is about what you paid for the printer, why would you do this ?
Even Precision Colors can only reproduce 8 of the 12 colors (and has to cannibalize large format carts for the others, what I do for my PRO-10 too, so what's the difference at the end ?).

How many A2 prints you want to make in a year ?

There is not much OEM ink in it. Maybe it is empty ... have not yet poked around.
Not too concerned about the colours either, as long as they are fairly permanent.

Yes, many times more expensive than Champagne, and I am not going for it.

Is this a problem?
Most 12 ink printers seem to use 10 (plus another black + Chrome Optimizer).

For monitoring the ink levels in the Canon Pro-100 I found that installing a set of Viewports works flawlessly. I can see the level of the inks in each tank and quickly refill them without pulling them from the printer. The website for info is ViewportPro.com

The Canon error code 1753 states: “The remaining level of the ink cannot be correctly detected. Replace the ink tank”. This is the error code that will activate the perpetual use of a Viewport equipped cartridge. The printer assumes there is a problem with the cartridge chip when there is a conflict between the calculated amount of ink used and the actual ink level remaining.

When a Viewport is installed the actual level of the ink is always visible, so the printer is not really in danger of running out of ink. When the 1753 warning appears you would simply press and hold the lower “STOP” button (inverted triangle) for 5 seconds. This will remove the warning by permanently disabling the ink monitoring function of the cartridge chip. You can now continue to use the printer as normal and refill the Viewport cartridge whenever it is low.

0 I found that installing a set of Viewports works flawlessly.

That’s probably the best ink monitoring system for the Pro 1000 I’ve seen in a long time, it’s also the cheapest and well worth the investment..

Nice one @architectonica
