Our Verdict

Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-300

Canon PIXMA PRO-200

The Canon PIXMA PRO-200 and the Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-300 are outstanding professional photo printers. Both printers can accommodate a wide range of paper sizes, and they both feature robust cartridge systems with dedicated photo ink cartridges, which deliver exceptional color accuracy and wide color gamuts. The main differences come down to the type of ink they use. The PRO-200 uses dye ink, which performs better on glossy paper; this makes it ideal for photo printing. By contrast, the PRO-300 uses pigment ink, which performs better on non-glossy paper, which makes it better for art prints.
