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.
