Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-300 A3+ Printer
The imagePROGRAF PRO-300 can truly bring images to life in print form, thanks to both print technology and software that gives users confidence in faithful reproduction of their original images. With exceptional monochrome printing, and vivid colour printing up to A3+, the imagePROGRAF PRO-300 is ideal for advanced level photographers looking to submit their prints for competitions, galleries, exhibitions or sales. The imagePROGRAF PRO-300 also works seamlessly with EOS camera technology to unlock unique features such as HDR and DPRAW print to achieve a higher level of print quality.
Free Professional Print & Layout (PPL) plugin and software
The PPL plugin works either as standalone software or a plugin through Canon’s Digital Photo Professional imaging software, or Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom. Govern layout settings as well as preview the printed image or monitor and select colour management and profiling, using soft proofing’ and ‘hard proofing’ functions to enable accurate screen-to-print matching. Many other exciting options are accessible such as split gallery wrap printing and panoramic printing as well as access to EOS camera only functions such as DPRAW* and HDR. *Only in EOS cameras equipped with the DPRAW function
Nozzle Misfire Detection
The imagePROGRAF PRO-300 detects if any nozzle is not firing correctly, and thanks to Canon’s print head design which incorporates a number of spare nozzles, fires backup nozzles to ensure no banding in the image whilst it is being printed.
Paper Skew Correction
For instances when paper may not be aligned correctly when fed through the printer, Paper Skew Correction on the imagePROGRAF PRO-300 automatically corrects and feeds through to ensure a perfectly level print on the paper.
Ink Tank Density Checking
The imagePROGRAF PRO-300’s intelligent printing system checks the density levels of ink tanks, and periodically moves the ink tanks to shake the cartridges, ensuring ink density levels are consistent throughout each tank, to ensure consistent print quality.
Crystal-fidelity
Use PPL software to achieve the highest level of print fidelity from images captured on EOS Cameras. Functions such as DPRAW* Print and HDR Print can read the image data from EOS cameras, to reproduce the sharp areas of an image, as well as recover highlights from single exposure images. *Only in EOS cameras equipped with the DPRAW function.

I had a few issues with drivers and windows 10 and paper size recognition but Canon UK support very helpful. Have been impressed with the Canon Print software, so much easier to use either from PS or LR. My first print was using the Pro Platinum paper supplied I was blown away it was much better than I expected. I then printed the same image on 4 different Permajet papers using their generic profiles and again the outputs were as good. I did not have to do any further editing - I have my monitor calibrated and set at 90cdl and prints were fine, not too dark. I was also impressed with the Mono printing.

Always had Epson Printers & had upgrade to new Epson SureColor SC-P700 Printer which turned out to be a disaster, failed after 6 months and got lost during repair. After much debate and research, settled on the ProGraff Pro-300 and couldn't be more pleased. I've only just touched on the basics of using it but print quality and ink usage is excellent, setup was straightforward - so far can't fault, don't think I'll ever return to Epson. Only downside I can see is its a larger footprint than my previous A3+ printers and its not touchscreen - both are more than liveable given the outstanding print quality.

I will caveat this review by saying that I am very much an amateur photographer and printer... However, the quality of the prints I have done so far is excellent. The printer also handles black and white prints far better than any other I have used. The printer itself is easy to set up. It takes a bit of time the first time but no real drama. Downloading the drivers was a real pain. It may just have been me but I had a brand new MacBook as well so there really should not have been any issues. The printer is quite slow, but I do not see this as a problem as it is a specialist photo printer so I will not be using it to print high volume documents. I have only done 8 prints so it is hard to assess ink usage, but the tanks are still more or less full which is a good sign. Obviously it is quite expensive, but if you want high quality A3 prints then I would recommend this printer.
