Canon launches a high- quality, professional A3+ photo printer with space-saving design-imagePROGRAF PRO-300

Canon launched the image PROGRAF PRO-300, an A3+ printer with the award-winning imagePROGRAF PRO seriess quality features perfect for semi-pros and aspiring photographers, small studios and photo labs.

With a lightweight, dense form factor, this powerful printer can deliver gallery-quality prints from the comfort of a desktop.

Substituting the PIXMA PRO-10S, this new entry to Canons imagePROGRAF PRO series encourages confidence with its easy to use software and design, fulfilling photographers with high-quality prints at all times.

Photographers can leave the printing to imagePROGRAF PRO-300 and focus on their photography thanks to the built-in nozzle recovery and skew correction functions, which reduce ink and media waste.

The imagePROGRAF PRO-300 facilitates borderless printing on all media types and improves black density and colour vibrancy on fine art and glossy media.

With the imagePROGRAF PRO-300, Canon photographers can enjoy a seamless workflow from image capture to print with features designed to bring their photos to

life.

Fuss-free, gallery-quality printing With exceptional monochrome printing and vivid colour printing up to A3+, the imagePROGRAF PRO-300 is a must-have for artists looking to submit quality prints for competitions, galleries, exhibitions, or sales.

Using 10 LUCIA PRO pigment inks, the printer delivers an extended colour gamut to create higher depth and excellent colour in every print.

For greater expression of deep blacks and monochrome images, this model uses new ink in both photo and matte black to realise deeper and more expressive blacks than ever before on glossy and fine art media.

Its dedicated Chroma Optimiser lays down a clear ink to minimise surface irregularities on gloss or semi-gloss paper, reducing bronzing and delivering stunning tonal superiority.

Producing high-quality prints without compromise, Canons L-COA PRO processor easily handles large image data and calculates the optimal ink droplet layout at super-fast speeds - printing A3 in less than five minutes 1.

With the LUCIA PRO ink system, artists can achieve steady, professional-level results over a wide assortment of media with no trouble.

With separate ink nozzles for photo and matte black, the printer uses a zero-ink switching design automatically determining the correct ink based on the paper loaded saving time

and reducing ink waste.

Print confidently, work productively.

The image PROGRAF PRO-300 delivers images to life in print form.

With imagePROGRAF PRO technologies built into this model, users have faith their original images will be represented faithfully and with maximum productivity.

One of the biggest concerns when printing professional photography is the ink nozzles jamming and causing misfires.

To fight this, the imagePROGRAF PRO-300 detects if any nozzle is not firing correctly and will switch to backup nozzles to ensure there is no banding in the image while it is being printed.

If the paper is not aligned right when fed through the printer, the Auto Skew Correction function corrects and feeds the paper through to ensure a perfectly level print.

In addition to this, the imagePROGRAF PRO-300 checks the density levels of ink tanks, and periodically moves the cartridges to maintain consistent ink density levels throughout each tank guaranteeing colours are always consistent.

Photographers can also immediately and efficiently navigate the printers menus and functions with the clear and bright 3-inch colour LCD that allows instant monitoring of printer functions, ink levels and paper settings.

Such specialities ensure failsafe printing with the imagePROGRAF PRO-300 saving both paper and ink.

Print without borders

Taking a huge step forward from the PIXMA PRO-10S, this design also supports borderless printing in all print modes including highest quality printing, on a wide variety of media - even fine art paper.

Whats more, photographers can even print panoramic images to custom lengths up to 990.60mm.

Offering assistance for Canon and third-party paper, including Hahnemuhle, Canson, Awagami and many more, the imagePROGRAF PRO-300 provides users with the liberty to print images with the paper of their choice.

Alongside the launch of imagePROGRAF PRO-300 is the release of a new fine art paper from Canon Premium Fine Art Rough (FA-RG1).

This paper adds a three-dimensional touch to fine art images where depth and expression are desirable.

With a luxury touch, the paper uses high-quality cotton to deliver a special premium feel.

Available in various sizes the paper weighs 310g/m and is available in packs of 25 sheets.

With this new edition of Fine Art Rough, Canon offers a complete range of professional photo paper for glossy, semi-gloss, matt and fine art media.
