Hi all, just purchased LR5 and and looking to upgrade printers. Does any one have experience with these and Lightroom together? There are some great deals right now.

Mike change text color to black if you want people to read your question.
Sorry I thought I was using the default setting.
My original question was has anyone had good results with LR5 and these canon printers, is there a huge difference between the three? Thanks
Hi Mike
The big difference is that the Pro-100 runs dye-based inks and the 10 and 1 run pigment-based inks. In general, dyes give you better colour saturation but are not as long-lived as pigments. However, I understand that under the right conditions, modern dyes can be long-lived as well. The 10 has fewer monochrome inks than the 1 and has smaller capacity ink cartridges. Smaller cartridges almost always mean higher ink costs.
I use Epson printers so I have no direct knowledge of the Canon printers but I follow some good printing forums like the one here:

In general owners give high praise to all three printers and I am sure they all work well with Lr5.
Mke , I have printed on a friends Pro-100 and the prints are outstanding and with the current rebates dropping the price to 100.00 its a steal. I am on the fence of buying one myself I just got to find a place for it it is a large printer at 30lbs

Mike,
I have the Pixma Pro 900 Mark II and the prints are fantastic. I got mine from B&H about a year ago with a big rebate and a 50 sheet pack of 13x19 semi-gloss paper.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the feedback. Mike
