MELVILLE, N.Y., July 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- After taking
the time to create your ideal photo, every creative image maker
should look to complete the process with a vibrant print to share
for everyone to admire. Completing the lineup of professional
printer options from 13 inches through 60 inches, Canon
U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital
imaging solutions, unveils today the new 13-inch Canon imagePROGRAF
PRO-300 Inkjet Printer along with a new Premium Fine Art Rough
paper. Providing an improved workflow and high-quality output
within a smaller footprint compared to previous models, this new
printer excels at professional printing performance. Combined with
the new Premium Fine Art Rough paper that features a textured
surface to express the depth of an image, the printer along with
the paper introduces a new powerhouse professional imaging duo that
meets creators' demands.
"With the introduction of the Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-300, we are
continuing our outstanding tradition of creating great quality
printers for a variety of image makers, making it easier to print
work at home," said Tatsuro "Tony" Kano, executive vice president
of the Canon U.S.A., Inc. Imaging
Technologies & Communications Group. "As the creative
responsibilities of our customers have evolved and the importance
of preserving historic moments has increased, it is imperative the
features Canon integrates into new solutions and consumables meet
the needs, wants and asks of our customers."
Smaller Footprint Completes the Lineup
There has been
a shift in what traditional work and school looks like over the
last few months, as many creative-focused jobs, industries and
areas of study now require tasks to be completed in non-traditional
ways. Without access to a studio, office space or classroom with
all the necessary tools and equipment, there is no better time to
introduce a professional printer that is 15% smaller than its
predecessor. With the addition of the new 13-inch Canon
imagePROGRAF PRO-300 printer, the lineup of professional inkjet
printers expands while offering a new space-saving design that is
fitting for a home studio or office.
Core features of the newest printer include:
- 9-color LUCIA PRO plus Chroma
Optimizer ink providing expanded color gamut and enhanced black
density
- New matte black ink offering greater black density, smooth
gradations and details in darker areas
- Technologies to help prevent print failures such as a nozzle
recovery system and a skew correction function. Nozzles are
carefully checked by sensors, and if a clog is detected in one
nozzle, others will automatically compensate for it
- Updates to the Professional Print & Layout software to help
create seamless photo printing from image-editing software
including Digital Photo Professional and Adobe® Photoshop®, Adobe
Lightroom, or as stand-alone software
- Improved media compatibility with the additional capability to
support panorama-sized paper, and multiple feeding methods for
media of varying thicknesses
- High-speed printing at up to approximately 4 minutes and 15
seconds1 for a bordered 13" x 19" inch print when using
Photo Paper Pro Premium paper
The usability of the imagePROGRAF PRO-300 is also improved with
the addition of a 3.0 inch LCD display, allowing the user to check
printer status and monitor ink levels at a glance.
New Fine Art Paper
Continuing the theme of high
quality to use with the new imagePROGRAF PRO-300 printer: new
Premium Fine Art Rough paper is now available in a variety of sizes
including 17 inches by 22 inches, 13 inches by 19 inches and Letter
sized within a pack of 25 sheets. To help express the depth of an
image and add a three-dimensional touch, the new paper consists of
a rough texture. The cotton used to create the paper provides a
luxurious touch and makes it suitable for long-term storage.

Premium Fine Art Rough paper

Printer will be available later in July with an MSRP price of
$899.99*. Premium Fine Art Rough
