Pixma Pro-1000 pictures printing smaller than LR shows

Reking — Wed, 03 Feb 2016 14:58:47 GMT

I am having an issue with my Pixma Pro-1000 where it is cropping a little bit with every picture it prints. I print directly from Lightroom. As an example, in a portrait I am trying to print of two kids whose feet are near the edge of the picture when cropped in LR, the feet are cut off in the print from the printer. Is there a setting or something else I am missing here?

Can you post a screenshot of your LR print settings so we can review them?

Can you try printing with Print Studio Pro? If it prints correctly from PSP then compare the settings with LR.

Thanks John - here are the print settings. And excuse if this comes out really large or anything odd. I appreciate any thoughts, and will also try PSP.

Looks like you are trying to print borderless. Borderless will overspray a little to be sure you cover the whole page.

See this thread: http://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Professional-Photo-Printers/printing-issue/m-p/163503#U163503

You also need to be sure that you crop the image to your paper size - I can't see all of your settings without downling image and opening in another software, which I will do and comment further.

I can't make out the LR panels - too small and gets pixilated if I try to enlarge.

Assuming you cropped the image to 8x10 before you printed then the issue could just be the overprinting.

I also noticed that you are using the AirPrint version of your printer.

If the PRO-1000 is similar to the PRO-100 which I have, then you want to be using the IJ Printer version. Go into Printers & Scanners and press "+" and wait awhile and you should see the IJ version appear. If you didn't install IJ Network driver from Canon do that first.

Thanks John - I will try printing with border and see if that makes a difference, and check the other suggestions and repost the print settings:

It was the overspraying - thanks John. When I used borders it printed perfectly fine. So a newbie question for you then but does that mean that if I want to print a 5x7 I should use 8x10 paper and cut it down to size?

l'm basing my answer on my PRO-100, but the printer driver will allow you to reduce the amount of extension; you could try that.

I think you may not get this version unless you use the IJ version.
