Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-300 A3+ Photo Printer

Canon PRO-300 A3+ Photo Printer Summary

The Canon Pro-300 A3+ Colour Photo Wireless Printer joins the impressive range of professional quality imagePROGRAF models and offers a new design with a smaller footprint. Despite the more compact size this printer is able to produce borderless gallery quality images with 10 LUCIA PRO pigment inks and a dedicated chroma optimiser coating which is applied to the ink surface. Lucia Pro inks are renowned for reproducing vibrant colours which accurately replicate the original photograph. We always recommend using a calibration device if possible, however the PRO-300 A3+ does an excellent job straight out of the box.

A variety of gloss and matt paper media can be handled by this printer including the ability to produce stunning panorama prints up to 990mm long. This provides excellent flexibility for not only home printing, but also for photographers who may sell prints to their customers. Unlike some other printers, Canon’s model doesn’t switch between ink tanks regardless of media selected, which saves time producing quicker results.

Connection is easy through WiFi or via ethernet allowing the printer to be stationed away from a computer, and is compatible with both Mac and PC. A number of other advanced features ensure quick and consistent photo printing for the home or office for beautiful results every time.

Enhanced colour gamut for greater depth

The PRO-300 uses 10 LUCIA PRO pigment inks to deliver outstanding colour as well as a dedicated chroma optimiser ink to reduce bronzing and produce stunning tonal superiority.

3-inch colour LCD menu screen

Quickly navigate the printer’s menus and functions thanks to a clear bright display that allows instant monitoring of printer functions, ink levels and paper settings.

Outstanding monochrome print quality

The imagePROGRAF PRO-300’s Matte Black ink enables greater expression of monochrome images with deeper and more vivid blacks particularly on fine art papers.

Accurate screen to print match, every time

Be confident in printing prowess thanks to the Canon Professional Print and Layout software and plugin, which takes colour matching to new levels of excellence.

High speed, high quality printing

Canon’s L-COA PRO processor easily handles large image data and calculates precise ink delivery at super-fast speeds to produce high quality prints without compromise.

Free Professional Print & Layout (PPL) plugin and software

The PPL plugin works either as standalone software or a plugin through Canon’s Digital Photo Professional imaging software, or Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom. Govern layout settings as well as preview the printed image or monitor and select colour management and profiling, using soft proofing’ and ‘hard proofing’ functions to enable accurate screen-to-print matching. Many other exciting options are accessible such as split gallery wrap printing and panoramic printing as well as access to EOS camera only functions such as DPRAW* and HDR.

Nozzle Misfire Detection

The PRO-300 detects if any nozzle is not firing correctly, and thanks to Canon’s print head design which incorporates a number of spare nozzles, fires backup nozzles to ensure no banding in the image whilst it is being printed.

Paper Skew Correction

For instances when paper may not be aligned correctly when fed through the printer, Paper Skew Correction on the imagePROGRAF PRO-300 automatically corrects and feeds to ensure a perfectly level print on the paper.

Ink Tank Density Checking

The PRO-300’s intelligent printing system checks the density levels of ink tanks, and periodically moves the ink tanks to shake the cartridges, ensuring density levels are consistent throughout each tank, for consistent high print quality.

Crystal-fidelity

Use PPL software to achieve the highest level of print fidelity from images captured on EOS Cameras. Functions such as DPRAW* Print and HDR Print can read the image data from EOS cameras, to reproduce the sharp areas of an image, as well as recover highlights from single exposure images.
