For its high-quality photo output, Canon’s imagePROGRAF PRO-300 wins our mini-test of four photographic quality printers. Its Chroma Optimizer enables smooth output on glossy paper, while the Canon PIXMA PRO-200 dye-based printer also delivers high-quality prints on glossy paper. The pigment-based Epson EcoTank ET-8550 is excellent for both colour and mono prints, but less convincing than the PRO-300 on glossy paper. For high-volume, large-format printing, we found the Epson EcoTank ET-8550 was better.
