A lthough it’s pigment-based, the PRO-300 delivers superb output on glossy as well as matte and fine-art media.
Like the older PIXMA PRO-10S and larger A2-format imagePROGRAF PRO-1000, it features a Chroma Optimizer cartridge. This smooths out the finish when printing on glossy photo paper, so that there’s no difference in the reflectivity of different colours and tones.
The ink range is comprehensive, with 10 cartridges, all from Canon’s LUCIA PRO line-up, giving the potential for a wide gamut (colour space) with rich, vivid colour rendition, as well as high-fidelity black-and-white photo printing. The 14ml cartridge capacity should prove sufficient for around 30 to 60 A3+ prints (depending on colour), although quantities naturally vary depending on the prominent colours and density within images.
