Canon PRO-100 can't print panorama

kenabr — Fri, 29 Nov 2019 23:40:53 GMT

I'm trying to print a 13x25.5 print on matt paper. Lightroom shows my cell size as12.72x25.40. I keep getting a message that the media type or paper size are not set correctly. What am I doing wrong

Are you selecting Custom print size in the driver?

yes, I have selected custom under preferences and set it for 13,00 inches x 26 inches. When I hit print it sends the message the media type and paper size are not set correct. Click cancel printing, change the media type or paper sizesetting and print again. I'm using Lioghtroom classic and used page setup in Lightroom. The crazy thing is I had this happen before trying to print this size but eventually was able to print. I can seem to find the answer after two days of trying.

I can't figure out how to post the setup page but Ive got custom setting with 13in. width and 26 in. height printing in portrait orientation

Yes those are the normal sizes however it is capable of printing as a custom paper size of 13 x 26+. For some reason Canon restricts the Pro 100 to 26+ inches long my previous Epson could print to 38 inches and beyond. Why Canon has this restriction I'll never know.

My page setup looks exactly like the one you posted Jr. Hoffman

You need to limit width to 12.95 inches, which is the actual width of A3+ paper.

The paper is Red River 60 lb. Polar Matt C1S

Still need to set page width at 12.95.

Thanks to this forum I disovered the 26" panorama custom override. I just receieved a shipment of Palo Duro Baryta Fiber 300 from Red River Paper. Thanks again to forum members for the info about this EXCELLENT paper company!

I actually had to buy 13x38" paper, and will need to make one cut in each sheet to print.

Jose Rodgriguez has a video about printing 26" panos. His max image area is 12.731 x 25.685"

I'm guessing you really need to keep an eye on ink levels as prints of this size will be very thirsty.

This paper is fairly expensive and I dpn't want to waste any. Do any of the pros here have any additional comments/suggestions for successful printing with this custom size?

Has Canon made any firmware updates that would effect or improve oversize pritning?

Thanks!

Its less ink than printing two A3+ prints, so you will have no trouble.

My first attempt at printing 13x26 is giving me an error: "The media type & paper size are not set correctly"

Red River suggests using Photo paper Pro Luster for this paper (Palo Duro Baryta Fiber 300) and I have the appropriate Profile installed/selected.

I have the paper size set to 13x26 -which I'm gussing is the culprit. Joe Rodriguez suggests using an Image SIze of: 12.731 x 25.685". That seems to indocate 13x26" paper size would be crrrect.

I tried changing from the default margins to Top: .13 Bottom: .13 Left: .15 Right: .15

Still getting same error.

Other setting?

Thanks

12.95 is actually the max allowable width. 13x19 is commercial roundoff.

Instant resolve- thank you!

Actually it can under custom settings print around 25.5inches. I ws able to print 38 inch panos on an Epson printer that died before I bought the Canon Pro 100. I can't believe that Canon wants to be shown up by Epson.

I had the same problem. You must show the width as 12.75 to get it to print

I spec'd the heighth to 12.95. Worked like a charm! Beautiful print first time. It helped to have a compoiste HDR pano. I'll shoot 10+ frames, auto stitch in PShop. I also bracket to make the HDR composite. One file is 600mb. Tack sharp!

Some have expressed a desire to go wider than 26", but 13x26 is as odd an aspect ratio as I would want. Goes into a standard 20x30' frame. Thank you Canon -and the forum experts here!
