BRAMPTON, ON., JULY 9, 2020 – Canon Canada, Inc., a leader in digital imaging, is excited to announce the completion of its lineup of professional printer options (in the 13-inch to 60-inch range) with the unveiling of the new 13-inch Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-300 Inkjet Printer along with a the introduction of a new Premium Fine Art Rough paper.

 

Professional and amateur photographers or creatives can take advantage of Canon’s full range of products, from input to output, by capturing beautiful images through Canon cameras to completing the process with vibrant prints to share with clients and prospective customers alike.

 

Providing an improved workflow and high-quality output within a smaller footprint compared to previous models, the new imagePROGRAF PRO-300 printer excels at professional printing performance. Combined with the new Premium Fine Art Rough paper that features a textured surface to express the depth of an image, the printer along with the paper introduces a new powerhouse professional imaging duo that meets creators’ demands.

 

Smaller Footprint Completes the Lineup

 

With the way that traditional work and school have changed over the last few months, many creative-focused jobs, industries and areas of study now require tasks to be completed in non-traditional ways. Without access to a studio, office space or classroom with all the necessary tools and equipment, there’s no better time to introduce a professional printer boasting exceptional quality, not to mention 15% smaller than its predecessor, thanks to a new space-saving design that is suitable for a home studio or office.

 

Core features of the new imagePROGRAF PRO-300 printer include:

• 9-colour LUCIA PRO plus Chroma Optimizer ink providing expanded colour gamut and enhanced black density
• New matte black ink offering greater black density, smooth gradations and details in darker areas
• Technologies to help prevent print failures such as a nozzle recovery system and a skew correction function. Nozzles are carefully checked by sensors, and if a clog is detected in one nozzle, others will automatically compensate for it
• Updates to the Professional Print & Layout software to help create seamless photo printing from image-editing software including Digital Photo Professional and Adobe® Photoshop®, Adobe Lightroom, or as stand-alone software
• Improved media compatibility with the additional capability to support panorama-sized paper, and multiple feeding methods for media of varying thicknesses
• High-speed printing at up to approximately 4 minutes and 15 seconds¹ for a bordered 13” x 19” inch print when using Photo Paper Pro Premium paper
• The usability of the imagePROGRAF PRO-300 is also improved with the addition of a 3.0 inch LCD display, allowing the user to check printer status and monitor ink levels at a glance.

 

New Fine Art Paper

In addition to and to compliment the new imagePROGRAF PRO-300 printer’s capabilities, Canon is also introducing new Premium Fine Art Rough paper. The “rough” texture of this new paper media helps express the depth of an image and adds a three-dimensional touch. The cotton used to create the paper also provides a luxurious feel and makes it suitable for long-term storage. The paper will be available in a variety of sizes including 17 inches by 22 inches, 13 inches by 19 inches and Letter sized within a pack of 25 sheets.
