It’s not completely risk free, as Canon doesn’t guarantee that ink won’t leach into the edges. Indeed, a huge range of Canon and third-party fine art papers are directly supported and, unlike previous PIXMA PRO-10 series pigment-based models, borderless printing is available on matte media. While a Chroma Optimizer cartridge helps to deliver smoother output on glossy and luster papers, compared with most pigment photo printers, the PRO-300 really comes into its own on matte and fine art photographic media.
CANON PIXAM PRINTERS PROFESSIONAL
PIXMA and MAXIFY printers with a G or GX prefix respectively have refillable ‘MegaTanks’ instead of the usual cartridges, offering significant savings on ink costs for high-volume printing.īorderless printing on matte media isn’t risk-freeĪlthough it looks almost identical to Canon’s PIXMA PRO-200 A3+/13-inch printer, this one earns Canon’s range-topping imagePROGRAF stripes, with a 10-ink pigment-based ink system favored by the most demanding professional photographers. However, there’s a broad crossover between the categories, with PIXMA models spilling over into both home office and large-format photo printing. Canon’s model categories include PIXMA for home printing, MAXIFY for home/small office use and imagePROGRAF for pro-grade large-format printing. For office-based document printing, there’s also the option of laser printers, which apply dry toner to paper via a photoelectric drum, then fixing it in place with fuser rollers at the output stage.įor most of us, inkjet printers are the most versatile and obvious choice. Dye-sublimation is based on a cartridge that includes three colors of film and a protective top layer, laid out in sections along a ribbon, this time using heat again to transfer dyes and the clear overcoat onto specialist paper in four successive passes. The former has a crystalline substance built into the paper and uses a heat process to develop the finished print.
CANON PIXAM PRINTERS PORTABLE
But that’s not the whole story.įor photo printing, Canon also markets portable mini-printers, utilizing either Zink or dye-sublimation technology. Most include a built-in scanner, making them equally adept at faxing and photocopying, with the convenience of onboard controls. The manufacturer is particularly strong on ‘hybrid’ inkjet printers that combine pigment-based black ink for crisp document output with dye-based colored inks for excellent graphics and photo quality, especially where four or more dye-based inks are featured. Canon makes a diverse range of printers to suit just about every requirement and budget.
