Canon imagePROGRAF Professional 13" PRO-310 Wireless Inkjet Photo Printer with 3.0-Inch Color LCD Monitor, 9 Color Pigment-Based Ink System, Black

If this printers dimensions are within what your looking for, just buy it. Seriously, I've had photo printers before but this one is perfect for what I need. Setup was a breeze, wireless function?-I didn't even know I set it up and bam it was done. The photos it kicks out are just beautiful, there is a bit of a curve when dealing with different paper types as settings change but even the Canon pro software is simple enough for me to grasp and be able to use effectively. I'm keeping a eye on the ink levels and after printing and after 10 8.5x11, 20 5x7, 15 13x19 the ink levels have dropped but not nearly to the level you would expect. The blacks on this are really very nice and deep. Amazon did a great job in getting it here quickly, as I recall it only took 4 days from order to deliver in Alaska (thats impressive). You'll need a larger printer stand as it's bigger than your average and definitely heavier.

Over the past 20 years I've gone through two Epson 13" photo printers: a R3000 and a SC P600. Both died due to ink clogs. Not wanting this to happen again, my research led me to the Canon Pro-300. It has a much shorter ink path from cartridge to print head than Epson, and the print head is easily removable. Hopefully this will result in less clogging for an infrequently used printer. Compared to my old Epson SC P600, the Pro-300 is smaller, lighter, easier to feed thicker fine art paper, allows creating custom paper names for 3rd party papers, and has separate printheads for photo and matte blank ink, avoiding having to switch inks. I know the Epson SC P700 has many of these features, but I've had it with Epson. So far I've printed on Canon glossy photo paper, as well as Hahnemühle Photo Rag, Photo Rag Baryta, and Photo Silk Baryta. Prints were all beautiful! The Hahnemühle-supplied ICC profiles and AM1X (used to configure paper in Media Configuration Tool) files work well. The Media Configuration Tool used to manage 3rd party papers is extremely clunky to use. It force-updates the printer and prompts to update the driver with every change you make. I would much prefer it made no changes until given a "save" command. But fortunately, you won't have to use it very often. Once a 3rd party paper is configured, you can use it from both the printer's LCD display as well as from your computer as if it was a first party Canon paper. I really like the Canon Professional Print & Layout Software. It has plug-ins for both Lightroom and Photoshop, and I find it much easier and more intuitive to use than Lightroom's Print module. Setup of the printer is time-consuming (took me about an hour) but straightforward. The LCD display shows you pictorially what has to be done at each step. The PRO-300 is a great printer and I recommend it!

I'm a hobbyist photographer but did photo work for newspapers and studios in the 1970's. I like to make prints of my photographs. I used the Canon Pro 9000 MKII for many years and got good service with it. I decided it was time to upgrade. This new printer is excellent. It was a change in workflow compared to the old printer and I had to burn through some prints to adjust this new printer to make the prints match what I saw on my calibrated screen. I also learned a lesson moving the printer once. After moving the printer the calibration was out of whack. I had to simply run a print head alignment routine and everything was fine again. So I try not to disturb the printer. Prints from this printer are outstanding and noticeably better than the previous printer- particularly the reds. My favorite papers now are Canon Matte for B&W which look amazing and Canon Pro Luster for Color prints. I use the Canon Professional Print and Layout add-on in Lightroom Classic which works perfectly with this printer. The layout dimensions are accurate and the colors excellent.

Purchased as a replacement for the Pro-100 printer. This machine is absolutely awful. It's slower than the older model, has more limitations in the driver, and has a worse user interface. Oh, and it's twice the price. This machine might be ok as an occasional photo printing toy, but it can't handle serious production work at all. My first Pro-100 printed over 15k greeting cards before it had feeding issues, the second Pro-100 made it to 9k cards. This 310 is giving me trouble after less than 200. The driver software has silly limitations in regards to custom sizes, something that was never a problem with older models. Instead of being able to open the top and replace an ink cartridge when one runs out now you have to press a button to tell it you want to replace one, wait while it makes noise for a minute, then once you open the top you have to press a different button to confirm that yes, I'm standing here with the lid open because the printer wants a cartridge replaced. Just awful. I genuinely don't know what to do with this thing, I have over 500 cards to finish for a client and this machine is failing to feed after the first 25. I wish I could afford to toss it in a dumpster.

I hesitated purchasing the older Pro-300 and I'm glad I did. I got this newer model the Pro-310 on sale for the same price I'd have paid for the older one. This printer arrived very well packaged with nary a mark on the box. Canon did well packaging the printer, inks and assorted included items to avoid damage. It was in pristine condition and had a clear plastic bag with handles strong enough pull the printer out of the box safely and easily. I'm new to printing, and this is my first photo printer. Set up was a breeze with the concise, clear set up instructions. I took my time to avoid screwing anything up and in the hopes of getting great results right off the bat with my first print. And so it was. From unboxing to making my first print took about an hour to an hour and twenty minutes give or take. Once I got the printer connected to my 5G wifi network (has worked flawlessly) I used Canon's Pro Print & Layout software to make my first print and the print is excellent. I use Adobe Lightroom Classic (LRC) to manage and edit my images via an M1 MacBook Pro connected to a calibrated (RGB) Eizo monitor. I've printed two A3+ and about fourteen letter sized prints all of which came out very, very close to how the image looks on my monitor in brightness and color. I have my monitor calibrated to 90 cd/m2 to avoid prints that are darker than intended with great results so far. I've only used Canon paper so far with the associated ICC profiles and couldn't be happier. I have also printed directly from LRC's print module and via Canon's Pro Print & Layout LRC plug-in. Both of which yielded similarly great print results. I'd consider myself a bit of a pixel peeper/perfectionist when it comes to my images and prints and I have not been disappointed thus far. As I'm new to printing, I'm fairly sure that with more practice, and as I learn more about making great "fine art" (whatever that is), high quality prints I may be able to get even better results down the line. I'm having fun, too! Printing my own images has been a joy. The Canon paper I've bought so far, A3+ Pro Platinum, letter size Pro Platinum and Pro matte, has been reasonably priced but new inks will hurt a little bit when that time comes. So, with two A3+ prints and about fourteen letter sized prints done, the inks the lowest level inks, PBK and GY are still at about 65% full. All has gone well so far and I hope it stays that way. Great printer. Great prints.

Produces great quality prints. It doesn't seem to use a lot of ink but that is really dependent on the size of prints, etc. As others have mentioned, the printer is heavy. Setup is pretty straight forward. If you're using Canon photo paper you won't have any problems with the default print utility and settings. While the Professional Print & Layout program is easy to use, configuring the printer with media choices, print profiles, etc. isn't that great. I had a hard time getting the printer set up to use Red River media settings. Installing the Red River printer profiles for the paper types was not a problem. Canon should really make this an easier and seamless process with all of this pre-installed as options for the major photo paper companies.

Delivered today and it is big which I already knew. Was hesitant considering the price however this was an investment for my photography business along with personal use. So far me and my wife are very impressed by the quality of the prints with just the paper that came in the box. I set it up via WiFi and the process was straight forward. The print speed is what I expected and the ink usage so far is what I expected. The available Canon software works just fine. The ink is expensive. I intend to offset that with being able to sell prints directly to my clients. After seeing the results I have no regrets. My wife can't wait to be able to print all kind of pictures of our family.

I have an internet business where I print greeting cards, tags, etc and I needed to replace my old Canon printer. I had my son install it which it seemed very easy for him (I'm old and not computer savvy) I love how it prints. Right now my only problem is finding 5100 genuine canon ink cartridges. It seems they are hard to find and not easy available and always out of stock. I did find some compatible ones here on Amazon that seem to work fine. Other than that, it prints great quality images and I'm happy with it.
