The Canon PIXMA Pro-100 Photo Printer got the “printer of the year” award by Photography Blog, with a rating of 4.5/5.

In all cases, prints on luster and gloss papers looked beautiful. Colors just pop off the paper, with cleaner color in saturated areas than I was able to get from the Pro-1.

If you do most of your printing on photo papers, particularly luster and gloss, and you shoot a lot of landscape/flower type photos, the Pro-100 is a clear winner.

The PIXMA Pro-100 retails for $398, but often comes bundled with Canon gear, as in this EOS 5D Mark III bundle where you get the 5D3 and the PIXMA Pro-100 for $2999 after a $400 mail-in rebate.
