Our Verdict

Canon PIXMA PRO-200

Polaroid Hi-Print Generation 2

The Canon PIXMA PRO-200 and the Polaroid Hi-Print Generation 2 are very different photo printers. The Canon is a professional photo printer. It has outstanding color accuracy and a very wide color gamut, resulting in detailed, colorful, and accurate photos. It can print on a wide range of paper sizes. By contrast, the Polaroid is a niche portable photo printer that prints 2" x 3" portraits. It has terrible color accuracy and a narrow color gamut, but it's great for a night out where you want to capture the moment and produce some fun mementos.
