PRO-300 is not so easy to operate
The Pro-300 is more difficult to obtain good prints on Red River photo paper that my old Pro-10. Menu is cumbersome and too time consuming. Print quality is very good compared to the old Pro-10, which gave out on me after more than 7 years of intermittent use and it hurt to throw away several hundred dollars of PGI 72 ink cartridges.

Excellent Printer
Bought my printer and booked a photography job the next day. I printed the pictures on Pro Platinum paper, 13x19, and the results were stunning! Very happy with my new printer!

Do Not Buy
Bought from Precision Camera a couple of years ago. It has printed maybe 50 times. It's awful. Does not stay connected to the WIFI, and thus cannot wirelessly print from computer. Constant error messages. Paper feeder is very finicky...you can sit a sheet of photo paper in the feeder and will say there is none.

Very frustrating printer
Nice prints when working but difficult to attach to LAN and extremely frustrating paper feed, doesn’t fee paper and returns with no paper error message - sometimes it feels most times not. Printer error messages and menu options not often usabel

Fine Printer Except For Two Things
The PRO-300 prints beautifully. BUT, the Professional Print and Layout (PPL program does not work. The second problem is that Canon Support is unresponsive to my problem.

It's a Stunner
This printer produces stunning prints, and it doesn't use as much ink as I imagined. I couldn't be happier with Canon.

Excellent Printer
I have been using the Pro-100 and when Canon announced this Pro-300 I pre-ordered it immediately. The Pro-100 makes great prints and I also have the Pro-1000 which is a specialty printer that makes 17x22 poster prints. I received this Pro-300 yesterday and let me tell you it’s amazing and the prints jump off the paper. It comes with setup inks so you will need to order more inks. This printer is a mini-me version of the Pro-1000. You can now see the ink levels in the small screen on the front of the printer. The only thing negative I would say is the 8x10 takes 4 minutes to print while with the pro-100 it takes 60 seconds. but the prints are better and last longer. Get this printer, you won’t be disappointed.

How was I ever satisfied with the i9900?
I had to finally retire my i9900 after many years of excellent service and took the plunge with the ProGRAF-300. Very pleased! This printer is light years ahead of what I had become used to. Gone are the days of going back and forth to get the printer and LightRoom to be on the same page when it came to page setup, paper handling and printing. The display on the printer offers a wide variety of settings, and information. I've gone with the option of having Canon monitor ink supply and sending replacement ink as tanks run low (looking forward to seeing how that works. But the quality of the printed output is much superior to the i9900.

Has annoying features
I had a Pro-10 previously, and it produced excellent prints. It took a while to get the settings correct but the colors are ok. Not sure it's as good as my pro-10. The paper type and paper width detection features are very annoying.

I LOVE this printer!
I purchased the Prograf-300 a month ago after going back and forth between this and the 1000. I called Canon directly, to get further information so I could make an informed decision, the guy I spoke with was wonderful! I fully expected him to steer me towards the more more expensive Prograf 1000, but he felt I would be much better served with the P-300 after asking me several questions. I ordered it on the spot, received it within four days. Setting it up was easy, although, I did have to call and be walked through when I couldn’t get it to connect to my wireless network. The person I was talking to, was extremely patient while navigating the different settings. A word of caution if you have a Mac computer/laptop. Mae certain you download the correct driver (it’s the CUPS one under the Apple download), if you don’t, you will end up with Apple’s AirPrint and won’t get the full benefit of the printer. Once everything was properly set up, I purchased Canon and Hahnemühle papers and downloaded the paper’s icc profiles. Printing has been flawless, and the prints are gorgeous! One of the best investments I have made.
One more thing, I didn’t have any issue contacting Canon support. Those that have, when looking at the dates they purchased and needed support, it was appeared to be during Covid when everyone was in lockdown.

Paper Matters!
This printer replaced my Pro9000 which I absolutely loved. The first photos I printed on this new printer, I was dissatisfied with, but I changed the paper I was using and the difference was nearly night and day! The print quality is quite good. The ink seems to last longer than on the old printer. The print speed is a little slower than the Pro9000but I do think the quality is better on this printer. I'm not sure how I feel about the software, like any new software, I guess it takes some getting used to.

Upgrade from old Canon photo printer
I had an older Canon photo printer and the ink was becoming to hard to find and costly. I wanted to start printing again and decided that the Pro-300 would meet my needs. The first prints that I made were from my fall trip to New Hampshire in the fall. The photos that I printed matched my computer display.

Initial setup
Set up for me was bit confusing. I did not know Canon had programs to use for printing. Tried unsuccessfully using the generic settings on the printer screen. Trial and error . Once I got it going AWESOME.

Problem Free Printer
I've been using this printer for a year and 8 months and I print about 50 -100 pages a week. It is not super fast but then again I print on heavy cardstock . I have had literally zero problems, not even a paper jam. At this point I'd give the printer a 5 rating. I've had several other brand of printers in the past that were good but this one out-performs them.

Awesome Printer
Very happy with quality of color and B&W prints. Used Canon, Red River, and Hahnemuhle papers with no feeding issues. Quality is fantastic using ICC profiles from paper manufacturers. Easy set up and driver installation.

Greeting Cards & Stickers
I want to write this review for others looking to purchase this printer for small bussiness use. I have looked all over and had a hard time finding others using it for stickers, greeting cards, & paper products. I have tested this printer for a couple days and want to share my findings. The main reason I purchased this printer was for the pigment inks. It can be hard to find printers that run manufacture pigment inks. With printing stickers you want something that is UV resistant, and waterproof. I tested out a glossy weatherproof sticker paper and a matte weatherproof sticker paper made for inkjet printers. The print quality was fantastic on these 2 papers. They also passed my waterproof testing. I was very happy with the outcome. I also tested a 110lb white shimmer cardstock. The ink would not absorb into the card stock and overall I was quite disappointed with how it printed on this paper. I also tested matte 110lb cardstock and it printed a bit dark. I was not crazy about the quality outcome when testing cardstock. I have found that they do sell cardstock made for inkjet printers that absorb the inks better. I will have to do further testing on different types of paper. This printer is overall fantastic when you are running the correct paper. It will take trial and error to find what works and what doesn't. If you are willing to take the time to learn the settings and how to get the best quality output then this printer is really fantastic. I did not realize how large the printer would be but it's such a good looking printer and it just feels nice! I will add that I have tested another canon pigment ink printer and the ink was not waterproof. I have seen others with this particular printer printing on cardstock with fantastic outcomes so I do know it's possible. It's just about finding what works. This will pull 110lb paper easily.

A pigment printer for the ages
Print quality is as good as the P!0. Blacks may be better. Seems to handle paper a little better and clearly provides more feedback and information on its LCD. the new printing application is a help.
