Our Verdict
Epson Expression Photo HD XP-15000
Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-310
While the Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-310 and the Epson Expression Photo HD XP-15000 are both photo printers, they aren't in the same class, as the Canon is a more costly, higher-end model. The Canon is more color-accurate, and it has a Chroma Optimizer to seal photos, providing better uniformity, shine, and longevity. The Canon is also more versatile because it uses pigment ink, which is more ideal for art and archival prints than dye ink. It yields more prints than the Epson, but because it has ten cartridges, it ends up being more expensive to maintain in the long run.
