Print your own landscape masterpiece

David Clapp explains why the Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-300 delivers unrivalled print quality, with speed and ease

Internationally acclaimed professional landscape and travel photographer David Clapp demands the absolute best when creating prints from his digital images. That’s why he now uses a desktop Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-300 printer. David feels it delivers unrivalled print quality for both mono and colour photo output, with seamless support for a vast range of glossy, matte and fine-art media, along with perfectly consistent accuracy.

As well as putting David in full control of the entire printing procedure, he feels the printer and its supporting, free-of-charge software gives him unparalleled freedom of expression throughout the creative process – all with speed, efficiency and cost-effectiveness. And best of all, it keeps things simple.

At the heart of the Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-300 is a newly formulated set of 10 Lucia Pro pigment-based inks. This brings an enhanced colour gamut that does full justice to striking landscape images, while Canon’s Chroma Optimizer ensures really vivid blacks and minimal bronzing on glossy and lustre papers. There’s even a special ‘Baryta’ mode that further expands the colour gamut in dark areas for this classic style of fine-art paper. David is even more impressed when it comes to printing colour and mono images on matte photo paper and fine-art media. The classleading depth and detail in blacks and really dark tones gives a whole new level of expression – the like of which he’s never seen from any other inkjet printer or competing print technology.

Another creativity boost is that the Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-300 features a new, ultra-high-precision paper transport system that enables full-bleed, borderless prints not only on glossy and lustre papers, but also on matte and fine-art media. David loves the fact that he only needs to have white borders around images when he really wants them. All popular paper sizes are supported, right up to 13x19 inches (329x483mm) and for added wow-factor, you can print big panoramic landscapes at custom lengths of up to 39 inches (990.6mm).

All in all, the Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-300 produces spectacular print quality that exceeds many professional labs, while putting you in control so you can create your own masterpieces quickly and easily, in your own home.

With an impressive turn of speed, the Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-300 can output 11x14-inch mono and colour photo prints on A3+ paper in as little as 4m 15s. A built-in colour screen makes it easy to keep an eye on settings, status and print progress.

The Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-300 delivers exceptional, gallery quality prints that last a lifetime and beyond, with direct support for wide-ranging fine-art media and outstanding archival qualities.
