Canon Malaysia has disclosed its new imagePrograf PRO-300 and PIXMA PRO-200 professional A3+ photo printers which are a collision of speed and brilliant print quality to turn digital images into vivid works of art.
They supports a wide range of media types and sizes, including the new Canon Premium Fine Art Rough media, perfect for professional photographers and graphic artists in creating exhibition-ready prints.
“We are delighted to unveil the Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-300 and PIXMA PRO-200, which not only produce quick and high-quality outputs, but also improves workflow within a smaller footprint printer.
These photo printers were designed to meet the evolving creative needs of photographers by elevating levels of depth and colour expression that are beyond the limits of ordinary home printers,” said Sandy Lee, Canon’s Head of Consumer System Products (CSP) Division.
The imagePROGRAF PRO-300 produces high quality prints that can handle large volumes of image data at a high speed to produce an A3+ print in less than 5 minutes.
The PRO-300’s latest LUCIA PRO 10-ink system can achieve consistent professional-level printouts across a wide range of media which the printer is capable of producing an expanded colour gamut to create greater depth and outstanding colour in every print.
The PRO-300 is able to automatically select the suitable ink based on the paper loaded and the PIXMA PRO-200 uses an 8-ink configuration that is designed to deliver an expanded colour reproduction, with improved red, blue and black density over its predecessors.
The imagePROGRAF PRO-300 and PIXMA PRO-200 also features a footprint 15% smaller than the previous generation models – Canon PIXMA PRO-10 and PRO-100 which spot a 3-inch colour LCD screen for easy setup, swift access to settings, as well as monitoring ink levels to know when to replace ink cartridges.
A new Auto Skew Correction feature is available on both printers, to ensure accurate feeding, especially for large and thick papers that let photo printers detect the alignment and adjust feeding during printing without the need of manual intervention.
The PRO-300 is also equipped with an automatic nozzle compensation feature to avoid ink nozzles clogging and misfires. The printer will automatically deploy backup nozzles to prevent handing and eliminate streaks in the photo.
The PRO-200 and PRO-300 are bundled with the Canon Professional Print & Layout (PPL) software to ensure a seamless integration. The program provides an intuitive interface, making it easy for users to optimize layout and colour settings for single or multiple print jobs, beginning from image capture, to post-editing, and eventually the print result.
Lastly, Canon has also released a new Premium Fine Art Rough (FA-RG1) media, designed to push the limits of photographic and artistic expression on the PRO-200 and PRO-300 to suit for portraits and fine art reproduction.
The imagePROGRAF PRO-300 will be available from February 8 at RM2,700 and the PIXMA PRO-200 at RM1,620.
