The imagePROGRAF PRO-300 is powered by the Canon L-COA PRO processor, designed to process large volumes of image data and print at high speeds.
Paired with a new LUCIA PRO 10-ink system within the imagePROGRAF PRO-300, the printer gains the ability to achieve an expanded colour gamut on a variety of glossy and matte media. The matte black ink specifically increases black density for non-glossy media, and enables a wider monochromatic range in dark zones.
With dedicated ink nozzles for Matte Black and Photo Black, the PRO-300 allows users to switch from matte to glossy media easily across multiple print jobs, with no swapping of black inks nozzles required. It can reduce the initial time for printing in different media dramatically.
The PRO-300 is equipped with an automatic nozzle compensation feature. By detecting non-firing of ink nozzles in-printing and redeploying surrounding nozzles, the printer is able to eliminate streaks and banding in photos.
To ensure accurate feeding, especially for large and thick papers, a new Auto Skew Correction feature on both printers detects alignment and adjusts feeding during printing without manual intervention.
The imagePROGRAF PRO-300 features a footprint 15% smaller than previous incarnations in the Canon PIXMA PRO-10. The addition of the 3-inch colour LCD screen also enhances usability, making it easy to perform setup and manage settings, replace ink cartridges, as well as monitor remaining ink levels.
Canon has also released a new Premium Fine Art Rough (FA-RG1) media, designed to push the limits of photographic and artistic expression on the PRO-300. This heavy, high quality cotton paper with rough surface finishing allows expressing the depth of image effectively. It is particularly suited for printing artistic themed image and fine art reproduction.
To assure a seamless integration with professional print workflows, and in particular Canon EOS system cameras, the PRO-300 are bundled with the Canon Professional Print & Layout (PPL) software. This powerful program provides an intuitive interface, making it easy for users to optimize layout and colour settings for single or multiple print jobs, ensuring a superior user experience beginning from image capture, to post-editing, and eventually the print result.
