Awesome printer!
It’s pretty good! Has its moments with connection but overall good quality.

Incredible Machine
Best printer I’ve ever owned by miles; I bought this machine to print art projects and it may be a little overkill for what I’m doing. The picture quality is incredible in terms of colour accuracy and picture detail. The printer is compatible with a wide variety of photo papers which offers great flexibility that favours different projects or printing jobs. Unfortunately, a drawback for this printer is maintenance costs; photo papers and ink for this machine can be very pricey but if your budget was planned to include those costs then it shouldn’t come as a surprise.

Nice prints
So far so good. I have trouble finding some paper sizes so there is a learning curve. Still not sure I can attach a roll of paper which I want to do, so can't give a full review.

Review for Crafters
I purchased thus printer as an upgrade to my Canon crafting printer (TS9521C - which I love). I print a great deal of digital papers, photos and invitations. While I do believe the Canon TS9521C is perfect for crafting I invested in this printer to start a small stationary business. The set up was easy, and I had no issues with downloading to my computer or iPad. Due to the PRO 300 uses pigment ink vs. dye ink (as the TS9521C does) the prints are sharper as less ink is absorbed into the paper. If you have purchased digital card stock to supplement for retired paper collections, you will not be able to tell the difference between the papers when using together. However, if you upgrade, note, this is a printer only, so you’ll loose the additional functions of copying and scanning that the TS9521C offers. In conclusion, though I believe the TS9521C will work for most crafters, if you plan on developing a small stationary business, I would recommend investing in this printer if it is needed for printing only.

Top quality!
Great printer! Just make sure you're using compatible paper. Sticker vinyl needs to be laminated. The ink will most likely need to be ordered. It's weirdly expensive but also not expensive to buy ink. Each cartridge is about 10-12 dollars and the 10 pack costs 100. So it's easy to replace individual cartridges, but not all of them at once. Sadly I've come to a place where I need to buy the 10 pack. Oh well. I do like the printer, but figuring out how to make perfect prints come out has been costly trial and error. For instance, you must get the driver and will need to up the brightness of the image before printing. So yeah. It's a great printer, but definitely for veteran print artists!

Love this printer - This is the One!
I was looking for a professional quality photo printer that would print larger size prints as well as beautiful smaller 4x6s many b&w’s. I was stuck between the pro 200 & 300 and finally decided to go with the 300. My mindset was for the extra $200 on the machine and a few dollars more for ink why miss out on a better quality. (Note: I have not seen the print quality of the 200 but this print uses pigment ink has 2 blacks + chroma optimizer total of 10 cartridges vs the 200 which uses dye based ink with 1 black total of 8 cartridges) I couldn’t be happier. I am not a professional photographer, meaning I do not print for high volumes I just wanted to print photos of my family, holiday cards etc. I don’t think I’ve got very had a printer that would print an image identical to what I saw on my screen. I have a Sony a6400 (the swimming & moon photos were taken with a 4.5-6.3/70-350mm zoom fully zoomed in, the dog with an 4/18-105 zoom fully zoomed in) and I printed them on canon pro luster Lu-101. The blacks are so black and rich. My friend that does professional printing was amazed at how high the quality was. I love this machine! I read other reviews that talked about having a hard time during setup etc - I followed the instructions I also went to canons website and downloaded the drivers. The photos were edited in Lightroom I did not print directly from Lightroom I exported the photo in the size format I wanted printed saved it and then opened the photo on my desktop printed it directly from there not one issue came up. I printed borderless 8.5x11. My photos are attached, they look much better in person my iphone likes to automatically adjust them after taking the photo so the coloring is off.

Highly recommend the Canon PROGRAF PRO-300
The PROGRAF PRO-300 does an excellent job of printing my photographs which I adjust in Adobe Lightroom Classic prior to printing. The quality of the printing is very high. I do use professional printing paper for my projects.

Phenomenal printer
I run an online sticker shop. I already have a Canon PIXMA iP8720, and while the stickers I print with it look great, they are not entirely colorfast since dye-based ink is prone to fading. Because of the limitations of dye-based ink, I was very interested in buying a pigment-based inkjet printer. I did my research and the Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-300 printer caught my eye due to its relatively low price point for a pigment printer. I'm blown away by how awesome this printer is. It was so easy to set up and connect to my wi-fi network! I was never able to get the iP8720 to connect to wi-fi for whatever reason, and while that's a great printer, I was always a bit soured on it for that reason. Not so with the PRO-300. The color screen on the front is a lifesaver (the iP8720 has no such screen). Also, the quality of prints is outstanding. I thought my stickers looked sharp until I printed some with the PRO-300--they are sharper and the colors are much truer to the original designs. I'm so happy with this printer. As long as it remains reliable, I will always have nothing but words of praise for it!

Entry Level Professional Photo Printer
I have had this Canon Pro-300 photo printer for almost a month. The quality of the photos is outstanding and very professional. Of course, one must use premium photo paper to reap the benefits of this printer. I use Canon Pro Platinum Photo Paper. This printer is a little pricy and has more features than the average photographer may need, however it’s a great investment to grow into. Note, I had a Canon ip8720 for over 5-years, before stepping up to this Pro-300. Two years earlier I also upgraded to a Canon EOS 5DS-R Camera. I am truly impressed with this photo printer and the design and manufacturing Canon invested.
