Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was looking for a professional quality photo printer that would print larger size prints as well as beautiful smaller 4x6s many b&w’s. I was stuck between the pro 200 & 300 and finally decided to go with the 300. My mindset was for the extra $200 on the machine and a few dollars more for ink why miss out on a better quality. (Note: I have not seen the print quality of the 200 but this print uses pigment ink has 2 blacks + chroma optimizer total of 10 cartridges vs the 200 which uses dye based ink with 1 black total of 8 cartridges) I couldn’t be happier. I am not a professional photographer, meaning I do not print for high volumes I just wanted to print photos of my family, holiday cards etc. I don’t think I’ve got very had a printer that would print an image identical to what I saw on my screen. I have a Sony a6400 (the swimming & moon photos were taken with a 4.5-6.3/70-350mm zoom fully zoomed in, the dog with an 4/18-105 zoom fully zoomed in) and I printed them on canon pro luster Lu-101. The blacks are so black and rich. My friend that does professional printing was amazed at how high the quality was. I love this machine! I read other reviews that talked about having a hard time during setup etc - I followed the instructions I also went to canons website and downloaded the drivers. The photos were edited in Lightroom I did not print directly from Lightroom I exported the photo in the size format I wanted printed saved it and then opened the photo on my desktop printed it directly from there not one issue came up. I printed borderless 8.5x11. My photos are attached, they look much better in person my iphone likes to automatically adjust them after taking the photo so the coloring is off.

Best printer I’ve ever owned by miles; I bought this machine to print art projects and it may be a little overkill for what I’m doing. The picture quality is incredible in terms of colour accuracy and picture detail. The printer is compatible with a wide variety of photo papers which offers great flexibility that favours different projects or printing jobs. Unfortunately, a drawback for this printer is maintenance costs; photo papers and ink for this machine can be very pricey but if your budget was planned to include those costs then it shouldn’t come as a surprise.

This printer is capable of producing incredible prints in a wide variety of paper. I have used it to print stunning photos. I would highly recommend this printer if you are a interested in producing the highest quality prints.

So far so good. I have trouble finding some paper sizes so there is a learning curve. Still not sure I can attach a roll of paper which I want to do, so can't give a full review.

I am so disappointed. On the positive side, the print quality is very good. On the negative side, it is slow as molasses in January, and it struggles to feed my cardstock, even though cardstock is the reason I purchased this printer. It's not even especially heavy cover cardstock, just simple 110lb matte paper. I also dislike that when I select cardstock as my paper type in the print properties, there is no way to select any quality lower that "highest," which I'm sure is adding to the extremely long print time. I am so sad that I'm outside of the return window. I just didn't have a great deal to print when I first got it.

I run an online sticker shop. I already have a Canon PIXMA iP8720, and while the stickers I print with it look great, they are not entirely colorfast since dye-based ink is prone to fading. Because of the limitations of dye-based ink, I was very interested in buying a pigment-based inkjet printer. I did my research and the Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-300 printer caught my eye due to its relatively low price point for a pigment printer. I'm blown away by how awesome this printer is. It was so easy to set up and connect to my wi-fi network! I was never able to get the iP8720 to connect to wi-fi for whatever reason, and while that's a great printer, I was always a bit soured on it for that reason. Not so with the PRO-300. The color screen on the front is a lifesaver (the iP8720 has no such screen). Also, the quality of prints is outstanding. I thought my stickers looked sharp until I printed some with the PRO-300--they are sharper and the colors are much truer to the original designs. I'm so happy with this printer. As long as it remains reliable, I will always have nothing but words of praise for it!

I have been using the Canon Pro 100 and was happy to see the Pro 300 announced. Because of the continued success I’ve had with the Pro 100...I had purchased the Pro 1000. But It’s a specialty printer for the large 17x22 poster prints and the ink is very expensive. So I even bought another Pro 100 because the prints are that good. So now when the Pro-300 was announced I knew I had to have it. I pre-ordered it and waited a little over a month. It arrived yesterday and I was so happy. I set it up and did my first print...and Yes it continued the quality I’m used to. If there was one thing I noticed that would be a negative is the 8x10 prints slower...on the pro-100 an 8x10 takes 60 seconds but on the pro-300 it takes 4 minutes but given it’s a more quality print that can be understandable. Plus the Pro-300 uses pigment Ink instead of dye inks used in the pro-100.

I purchased thus printer as an upgrade to my Canon crafting printer (TS9521C - which I love). I print a great deal of digital papers, photos and invitations. While I do believe the Canon TS9521C is perfect for crafting I invested in this printer to start a small stationary business. The set up was easy, and I had no issues with downloading to my computer or iPad. Due to the PRO 300 uses pigment ink vs. dye ink (as the TS9521C does) the prints are sharper as less ink is absorbed into the paper. If you have purchased digital card stock to supplement for retired paper collections, you will not be able to tell the difference between the papers when using together. However, if you upgrade, note, this is a printer only, so you’ll loose the additional functions of copying and scanning that the TS9521C offers. In conclusion, though I believe the TS9521C will work for most crafters, if you plan on developing a small stationary business, I would recommend investing in this printer if it is needed for printing only.

Honestly it’s worth the five star since the quality prints are superb but sometimes the slow print is just kinda slow for the price and size of the printer. For a 4x6 print takes over a min too long and the constant changes of settings when you place your paper in the tray. I would have loved it if it maintains the settings so you won’t have that extra step to adjust it unless using different types and sizes for the first time. I think over the air prints kinda lags a bit so a connect from printer to computer approach probably much quicker in response time. Overall, I do love the printer and the quality but of course the price tag can be a deal breaker but fortunately enough I waited until the right price came around which was under $600 And that was still considered steep for my budget but after printing several photos, it’s all worth it at the end!

I researched a lot of Pro Printers before I selected this one. I am very happy with my purchase. It was easy to use once I downloaded the Canon software and it does a fantastic job!

Great printer! Just make sure you're using compatible paper. Sticker vinyl needs to be laminated. The ink will most likely need to be ordered. It's weirdly expensive but also not expensive to buy ink. Each cartridge is about 10-12 dollars and the 10 pack costs 100. So it's easy to replace individual cartridges, but not all of them at once. Sadly I've come to a place where I need to buy the 10 pack. Oh well. I do like the printer, but figuring out how to make perfect prints come out has been costly trial and error. For instance, you must get the driver and will need to up the brightness of the image before printing. So yeah. It's a great printer, but definitely for veteran print artists!

This is an amazing printer, 10 inks 4800 dpi, museum quality output. The best part is you do not need to print everyday to own this printer. I have left it over a week and the heads did not clog like my Epson P400. Yes it is expensive but this printer allows you to refill the cartridges. There are high quality,3rd party inks very well balanced for this printer at a fraction of the OEM ink. The output quality is amazing. I shoot Seascapes and Sunrises and self publish my prints and notecards. I spend a lot of time editing my images and this printer accurately reproduces them on gloss, luster and Fine Art Mat papers beautify. If you are serious about photo printing but don't print every day, get this printer.

I recently added the Canon Pro 300 to my studio, and let me tell you, it’s a game-changer! If you’re passionate about photography and want high-quality prints, this printer is for you. The colors are vivid, and the details are simply stunning. I love how easy it is to connect wirelessly, so I can print directly from my smartphone. Yes, it’s a bit bulky, but hey, it’s totally worth it for the results you get! Highly recommended for any photography enthusiast.

The printer is amazing. Was able to print 13 x 19 photos with no issue. But I'm now interested in purchasing the Pro 1000 because I believed the 13 x 19 was big but its not. Overall the printer works great with my phone, Galaxy S22 Ultra. Im able to connect with the wifi and phone with no issue. The prints are amazing! But I do want something bigger.

Exceeds expectations, and coming from an Epson R-2400, it had a rather high bar to surpass. Prints are coming true to the edited screen image, w/o tweaking vibrance or brightness. Best results are coming from Canon Pro Platinum paper, often on the first try. Saves a lot of ink on repeat printing.

I have had this Canon Pro-300 photo printer for almost a month. The quality of the photos is outstanding and very professional. Of course, one must use premium photo paper to reap the benefits of this printer. I use Canon Pro Platinum Photo Paper. This printer is a little pricy and has more features than the average photographer may need, however it’s a great investment to grow into. Note, I had a Canon ip8720 for over 5-years, before stepping up to this Pro-300. Two years earlier I also upgraded to a Canon EOS 5DS-R Camera. I am truly impressed with this photo printer and the design and manufacturing Canon invested.

I really like this printer! The quality of the prints are amazing. I print mostly on fine art paper and this printer handles the paper very well.

Excellent printer and a good balance for cost and results. I am a hobbyist photographer and would recommend this printer. I have used it a few times and for larger 13x19 prints. It can print 8x10 and 13x19 border prints in just a few minutes each.

The PROGRAF PRO-300 does an excellent job of printing my photographs which I adjust in Adobe Lightroom Classic prior to printing. The quality of the printing is very high. I do use professional printing paper for my projects.

Over all I am satisfied with this printer. Once you figure out the software which is a process the prints are excellent quality. I purchased this for my fine art print business.
