Our Verdict
Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-300
Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-310
The Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-310 is a newer version of the Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-300. The PRO-310 is a slight upgrade over its predecessor, adopting a new ink set and wider paper support up to 70 inches (1,800 mm) in length. Its Lucia PRO II ink is more resistant to scratches and produces deeper blacks than the PRO-300's PFI-300 ink. The PRO-310 also has a reformulated Chroma Optimizer to further suppress bronzing.
