Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-300 Wireless Color Wide-Format Printer, Prints up to 13"X 19", 3.0" LCD Screen with Profession Print & Layout Software and Mobile Device Printing, Black, One Size

Over the past 20 years I've gone through two Epson 13" photo printers: a R3000 and a SC P600. Both died due to ink clogs. Not wanting this to happen again, my research led me to the Canon Pro-300. It has a much shorter ink path from cartridge to print head than Epson, and the print head is easily removable. Hopefully this will result in less clogging for an infrequently used printer. Compared to my old Epson SC P600, the Pro-300 is smaller, lighter, easier to feed thicker fine art paper, allows creating custom paper names for 3rd party papers, and has separate printheads for photo and matte blank ink, avoiding having to switch inks. I know the Epson SC P700 has many of these features, but I've had it with Epson. So far I've printed on Canon glossy photo paper, as well as Hahnemühle Photo Rag, Photo Rag Baryta, and Photo Silk Baryta. Prints were all beautiful! The Hahnemühle-supplied ICC profiles and AM1X (used to configure paper in Media Configuration Tool) files work well. The Media Configuration Tool used to manage 3rd party papers is extremely clunky to use. It force-updates the printer and prompts to update the driver with every change you make. I would much prefer it made no changes until given a "save" command. But fortunately, you won't have to use it very often. Once a 3rd party paper is configured, you can use it from both the printer's LCD display as well as from your computer as if it was a first party Canon paper. I really like the Canon Professional Print & Layout Software. It has plug-ins for both Lightroom and Photoshop, and I find it much easier and more intuitive to use than Lightroom's Print module. Setup of the printer is time-consuming (took me about an hour) but straightforward. The LCD display shows you pictorially what has to be done at each step. The PRO-300 is a great printer and I recommend it!

After careful reviews of Canon Printer, I settled on the Pro 300. A step above the 200 without the shock price of the 1000 ( there is now the 1100). I chose because of the high quality of Canon Inks and that it offered fairly rich darks. Now that I have had it for over a year I thought a review was in order. I am very happy with this printer for my photography. I included one picture with this review (the rest were too large since I save in .tiff format). Though not an ink hog, it does make liberal use of the available colors and I have had to replace the Gray and Photo Black. I chose to set up auto replenishment with Canon so replacement cartridges are sent automatically. If you are looking for a printer for your photography needs that will give you the vibrant colors and exquisite dark you long for, this is the one for you. Set up is easy (I use wireless) and it works seamlessly with my Mac mini M1. You won't regret it.

I was back and forth on buying this printer for months ..... main reason were the reviews stating how much ink this thing wasted and ate up , etc .... well I am very glad I finally decided to just go for it as all of those reviews were all so far off the mark from my point of view. I now have printed well over 60 photos since owning it ( about 5 - 13x19 prints , 30 letter , rest 4x6 and 5x7 ) So far I have had to change the Pure black cart ( expected in general , but especially after printing a bunch of B&W photos ) and will have to change the grey in the next day or so .... that is it ... I have printed at least 1 photo at least every day with an exception or 2 where i skipped a day ... After the skipped days the printer merely did an " agitation " period to stir the ink up , but did not use any ink ... As far as the speed , I am not sure how fast someone expects quality photos to print at home without spending thousands of dollars on printers ... no 13x19 print took more than 2 mins ... that is more than fast enough for home use .... again this is not meant to run a print business with . This thing makes beautiful prints and am more than happy with my purchase of it ..

So far, the Canon Pro-300 has surpassed any expectations I might have had. It’s been conservative with ink. I have replaced cartridges for black and gray but I’ve printed a few B&W pieces and expected that. The color representation is stunning. Printing on high gloss photo paper doesn’t hurt. It’s my first Canon printer and it was over my budget, but I get prints I like without paying a professional printer for copies I often don’t like. The savings will come. I’ve printed a few 12x17 inch pics with it and that was equally great. I haven’t printed on any CD’s yet but still having fun with printing artwork. Ink is at this writing around $120.00 vote all ten cartridges. Two cartridges of ink for my cheaper HP printer costs the same. That printer is ok but geez, the ink has always been expensive. So, yes. I recommend this printer. If you can afford it, buy it. If you’re like me you’ll probably make a few mistakes so you might want to print some practice pics on cheaper paper. It’s a great printer.

La mejor calidad de impresión de todas las impresoras que he tenido, imprime tan nítido que las letras pequeñitas de un letrero de fondo que salió en una foto, lo pude leer con una lupa. Los colores fieles a los de mi pantalla, no gasta tan rápido la tinta como pensé, es algo lenta pero por la calidad lo vale. Un solo detalle que no sé si es de la impresora, no he podido lograr que complete una actualización que me indica como pendiente, no sé si es por fallas de conexión de internet o en soporte de la misma impresora. Por lo demás estoy encantada.

I love this printer! It was really easy to set up and the quality of the prints are amazing. It comes with some Canon papers for you to try but I love using it with fine art papers. The quality is top-notch.

Tiene una calidad increíble, buena conectividad y las tintas no son caras (es mejor importarlas de USA)

El producto es lo que esperaba, ahora lo que espero es mi comprobante de compra mi factura y no he tenido respuesta
