BEST LARGE-FORMAT PHOTO PRINTER
Canon IMAGEPROGRAF PRO-300 £699/$899 Tested in issue 123
WHAT WE LOVE
Any digital photograph can look hugely better in print than on screen, especially if it’s printed on this magnificent, much as we hate to say it, Canon A3+/13-inch printer. A ‘chroma optimizer’ cartridge helps to maintain high quality on glossy and lustre photo papers, but it really comes into its own with matte and fine art media. The Canon IMAGEPROGRAF PRO-300 delivers epic colour quality and tonal range along with incredible black-and-white performance, with a depth and detail in blacks that we’ve never previously seen from an inkjet printer – you have to see it to believe it!
WHAT’S MISSING?
For the ultimate in a smooth finish on glossy paper, the inexpensive and more budgetfriendly Canon PIXMA PRO-200 does have the slight edge, but not by much!
WHY UPGRADE?
It gets your digital photos out of your computer and smart devices, and into a format where they can be viewed in all their glory – a must for any aspiring pro photographer.
