Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-300
Canon PIXMA PRO-200S
The Canon PIXMA PRO-200S and the Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-300 are both wide format inkjet printers. However, the PRO-200S uses dye ink, while the PRO-300 uses pigment ink. The PRO-200S is better for photo printing, as dye ink works better on a wide range of photo paper and provides superior vibrancy and color saturation. It also dries faster and gets absorbed into the paper rather than sitting on top, avoiding 'bronzing' where colors take on a metallic look when viewed at a certain angle. The imagePROGRAF PRO-300 is better for fine art and archival prints. It can be a good option for photo printing, too, if longevity is more important, as pigment ink is more resistant to fading and water damage.
