The Canon Pro 10s was the highest-rated photo printer however, in 2020 they released a replacement. The Canon ImagePROGRAF Pro-300. Rather than refining a great, popular printer line, Canon was bold enough to reinvent. Which gave us a Prosumer printer combining the best features of both printers. But was it worth the change?
Absolutely.
Changes from the Pro-10s and the Pro-300:
- 3inch LCD screen for direct printing and troubleshooting without the infamous light pulsing
- Clog Detection using brand new Canon Lucia Pro Inks
- Wider support for Borderless printing
- WiFi PictBridge support
- New Canon Professional Print And Layout support
What’s New Compared To my PIXMA Pro-10s?
So, it’s been announced that the Canon ImagePROGRAF Pro-300 is new and has reinvented the Photo printer. But what is actually new compared to the Canon PIXMA PRO-10s?
Onboard Screen
Well, there’s the addition of a 3″ LCD Screen onboard to control the printer. No longer will you have to wait for blinking pulses to define the issue with the printer. The Handy onscreen display will provide updates, and basic features such as quick print, or connectivity options.
New Ink
An updated ink formulation with the new Lucia-Pro pigment-based inks, offering the highest quality print with an estimated 50 years display time, without a glass covering. Canon has even included Matte Black ink, which provides deeper and richer blacks. There is even clog detection built-in for Canon genuine inks, ensuring any issues will be made aware prior to starting a print run.
Wider Borderless Support
Wider support of Borderless sizes, panoramic (Up to a huge 990mm length) and square size prints. An included skew correction will help ensure a straight print on all media, including the longer panoramic prints.
Support from the new Canon Professional Print + Layout software plugin with photoshop. Which provides a perfect screen to print a picture, matching the outcome to what you see on a monitor.
WiFi Pictbridge
New for the Canon Pro-300 is the addition of Wifi Pictbridge, any compatible Camera can now be connected wirelessly for quick prints direct from the Camera source.
New Software
