17" lets it print ANSI C size paper, as well as ISO A2 size paper (for which it could be slightly narrower).

actually, 17"x25.5" w/ the latest firmware.
Thanks!
2:3 to match their cameras instead of matching standard offset printer plate sizes - brilliant of them.
I wonder how long it will take them to update their online specs that decision makers use to select products.

Your questions reflect the market it's aimed at.
For anyone who knows what a standard plate size is, move along, this is not the printer you were looking for...
No, that would be the 24" PRO-2000 ;-)
The paper size issue is covered in some detail in my own lengthy PRO-1000 review, and has been much discussed.
Howard m, Panos, and Keith Cooper have correctly answered your question. With the current firmware you can print to 17x25.5" with the Pro-1000.
anyone telling you otherwise is either trying to sell you an Epson printer or is misinformed.

Because the firmware allows for custom sizes, it'll make whatever you want. The frame in this picture, well, not a frame in the traditional sense, is 12X18. I use 13X19 paper and when I print it, I make it slightly larger than 12X18. I use a spray adhesive and lay the picture on the frame. Then I trim the bit of overhang with a razor blade.
Sometimes you have to play with the image a bit to get it to fit properly, but it's pretty rare that I can't get one to fit a custom size. I just made a 10X10 of the same sort for a customer. This one was printed on a Canon Pro 100, but I now have an Epson P800 and just printed more for the same type frame of the same size.

David, what do you use to coat your print with?

I wasn't looking for paper size, I was looking for image size.
Canon tech support as of today was not aware of the change in specs due to the firmware upgrade, and parroted back the text from the online manual:
And why not permit it to print panoramas at pretty much any length 17 inches high?
I always thought it was Nikon that had a hard time understanding users, but clearly this problem is not limited to Nikon.

The on-line report on the current firmware upgrade 2.1 (indicates the following:
This gives me some confidence that I would be able to produce a (pretty much) 17-inch wide 2:3 image on the printer. What puzzles me is that this printer was not introduced with this image size - it seems somewhat important.

I use Moab Desert Varnish. Adorama sells it.David, what do you use to coat your print with?

I've used that and Hahnemuhle's version, but never considered them tough enough to withstand handling and being directly exposed to the environment.I use Moab Desert Varnish. Adorama sells it.David, what do you use to coat your print with?

You've never had any problems?

I sell my prints and handle them as little as possible. What the customer does with them is out of my control. I let them know at the time of purchase that the prints have been coated to give some protection against UV light, but also tell them that it's not a coating that will stop the print from being scratched.
So far, I haven't had a problem reported to me.
I also sell prints in conventional frames, but some like the open look that the above mounting gives. I've made a few 16X21s as well now that I have the P800.

Interesting, would make me a bit nervous, though.
I'm just getting sick of looking at my images through highly reflective glass (and the AR stuff is insanely expensive) so have been trying alternatives like canvas. But if I could find a really good durable economical coating that would be really nice. I've been tempted by epoxy but it's both expensive, a bit messy and relatively (compared to a spray) labor intensive. I was just hoping you'd found something that matched what I'm wanting.

I probably shouldn't assume this, but I give the majority of my customers the benefit of the doubt figuring that they understand that the photo is exposed to damage and treat it accordingly.
And you're correct about the labor intensive coatings, hence, the reason I use a spray.

That would seem to be a very low-hanging fruit for their firmware team..

13x19 and 13 x 25.5
If you would just looking it up would see that it is not a 17" printers. Since you obviously HATE this printer i would suggest that you get you yourself another printer that will meet your needs.
