Canon PROGRAF printers have always belonged to the category of high-quality office equipment, which is in special demand among fans of art printing. Canon has rolled out the new Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-300 wide format inkjet printer and recommends paying attention to some of the advantages of this model that distinguish it from the previous ones. The advanced PRO-300 model has the potential to pique curiosity and interest, primarily regarding the printer’s profile, which makes it easy to find a location for the machine.

 

Compare the Canon PROGRAF Series wide format printers with PRO-300 dimensions. For the former, models from 13 inches wide to 60 inches long are the norm. The PRO-300 is the smallest of this line: it is 13 inches wide and 39 inches long. With these capabilities, the PRO-300 can occupy an area that’s 15% smaller than that required by previous devices. This parameter is one of the advantages of the PRO-300, since maintaining a free working area for everyone is a problem that doesn’t lose relevance.

It should be noted that PROGRAF PRO-1000, on which many rely as a reference, is a high class, solid and prestigious printer. It has the ability to maintain image quality under a heavy load. The PRO-300 printer, which is the successor to the PRO-1000 and retains all its qualities, will be especially convenient in the field of art, provided that 13 inches wide by 39 inches long is sufficient for the project.

The printer has a three-inch liquid crystal display with which you can monitor print status and other parameters. On 13-by-9-inch Photo Paper Pro Premium, it prints in about four minutes. To some, this may seem pretty slow, but keep in mind that conventional office printers are in many ways inferior to the Canon PROGRAF PRO-300 printer, namely in print quality, especially if you need artistic printing. Using nine-color inks, the Canon PROGRAF PRO-300 provides smooth color transitions and detailed images with advanced technologies that help avoid clogging of cartridges.

The new Premium Fine Art Rough cotton paper can also be used to print perfectly three-dimensional images. If you work with programs such as Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom, the advanced software built into the printer will allow seamless printing.

A printer is a necessary device, not only for the office, but also for working at home. Therefore, the number of those interested in office equipment is not decreasing; demand is constantly growing. In this case, the improved PRO-300 model will bring inspiration and satisfaction to many user groups, including those who are fond of photography and fine art.

Here are another best, most reliable printers for those who need to print, copy, and scan while staying at home.

Epson Expression ET-2550 EcoTank

This multifunction inkjet printer has print speeds of 7.7 pages per minute in black and white and 2.7 pages per minute in color. Tray capacity: 100 sheets. Weighs 10 pounds.

Although the printer itself is expensive, if you print a lot, you’ll save on the purchase of cartridges. Moreover, the print quality is comparable to that of inkjet printers using standard cartridges.

The 1.44-inch miniature screen is not a touch screen; the printer is controlled by buttons located next to the screen. The printer connects via either Wi-Fi or USB cable.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, staying at home is important, but those who need to print often can run into problems with their printers, which can paralyze work in their home office. Problems can be of a different nature: from electronic and mechanical to fast ink consumption.

The most annoying and common problem tends to be fast ink consumption, though, so why is this happening?

Inkjet printers use ink not only for printing, but also for maintenance. Therefore, if your printer is idle, in order for it to start printing fully, it will need preparation (in the process of this preparation, ink will be used). Therefore, if you print once a year, it may be better to contact specialized centers, rather than buying a new cartridge to print just a few sheets.

This problem is mainly present in inkjet printers, since laser printers use toner that doesn’t dry out. That said, inkjet printers can be high quality and convenient.

Below we recommend multifunctional devices that can print, copy, and scan with additional options and parameters for solving certain tasks, such as automatic document feeding (for quick, convenient copying and scanning) as well as devices with high printing speed.

Here are the best, most reliable printers for those who need to print, copy, and scan while staying at home.

HP OfficeJet Pro 9015

A fast, multifunction inkjet printer that can print, copy, scan, and fax. Printing speed reaches 22 pages per minute in black and white and 18 pages per minute in color. The tray capacity is 250 sheets. It has a 2.65-inch touch screen and weighs 20 pounds.

The reliability and print quality of the OfficeJet 9015 is high compared to most other inkjet printers. It is more compact than other HP models of the same line. That said, it has a small color display, which sometimes causes inconvenience when running commands.

Installing and configuring the printer is simple through EasyStart and HP Smart, and subscribing to Instant Ink will help when it comes time to replace the cartridge.

Canon Pixma TS9120

This inkjet printer can also copy and scan. It prints 15 black-and-white pages and 10 color pages per minute. It has a 100-sheet tray, a 5-inch touch screen, and it weighs 15 pounds.

Although it is not intended for professional photo printing, because it uses six cartridges of different colors, it allows you to get great colors, and built-in filters help you adjust the quality of the photo for at-home printing.

The Canon Pixma TS9120 has two trays (for ordinary paper and for photo paper, but without automatic feeding) and an SD card slot, so you can start printing photos quickly enough. Thanks to the large touch screen, printer management is convenient.

Brother HL-L2395DW

A monochrome multifunction printer that prints 36 pages per minute. The paper tray is designed for 250 sheets. It has a small, 2.7-inch color display and weighs 23 pounds.

The printer is controlled using a touch screen and buttons.

To be continued…

Despite the low price of budget printers, they can come with additional features (such as copying and scanning), and the print quality compares to that of expensive models. Of the five models presented below, based on price and quality, for first place we chose the Canon Pixma TR4520. In second place — Epson Expression Premium XP-7100.

A small budget doesn’t have to mean that you can’t take advantage of modern printers. Aside from printing, scanning, and faxing photos and documents, modern printers connect wirelessly, for convenience, and can be quite compact, for use in small spaces.

Inexpensive printers usually use inkjet printing technology, which can be quite expensive to maintain (if, for example, you print a lot of high-quality, color photos or documents). However, no matter how reliable a printer is, its mechanical elements may wear out over time and require replacement. Laser printers are available, though they’re recommended for printing mainly black-and-white documents. Therefore, when choosing a printer, you must determine how you intend to operate it.

The printers recommended below are not the most modern, but they’re still manufactured and are not inferior to the latest models. After all, new models sold by manufacturers are not very different from previous ones.

Below are the best printers you can purchase at a fairly modest price!

1. Canon Pixma TR4520

This is the best printer for homes and small offices. Thanks to its cubic shape, it’s easy enough to find a place for it. It has a full range of functions: printing (includes double-sided), scanning, and copying (includes automatic document feeding), as well as fax capability. The Pixma TR4520 has support for remote printing via Wi-Fi, and you can connect your smartphone or tablet to it. Finally, with the help of Amazon’s Alexa, you can control it with voice commands.

For printing, the Pixma TR4520 requires two cartridges (black and color, standard or increased capacity). You can print photos, but only 4 by 6. However, if you print a lot of photos and images, then be prepared for the high cost of consumables (ink). Pixma TR4520 is a printer for moderate operation.

The disadvantages of this printer include a lack of touch screen, a small tray, slower print speed, and the high cost of ink for those who plan to print frequently in color.

2. Epson Expression XP Premium-7100

The ideal multi-functional and low-cost printer for photos. This printer is capable of mixing five colors (black, photo black, cyan, magenta, and yellow) and printing any shade so that your photos are of high quality and more realistic (be sure to use high-quality photo paper for the best outcome).

Due to its cube shape, the XP-7100 is compact and won’t take up much space. It’s also convenient to control the printer’s functionality through the touch screen.

You can connect a flash drive or SD card with your photos on it to the printer. Or you can print photos directly from your smartphone or tablet, as this printer supports a Wi-Fi connection and services such as AirPrint, Android, Fire OS, Mopria, and Google Cloud Print.

Since this printer is multi-functional, it is also able to copy and scan (at the same time). The print speed is quite high, but of course it can’t be compared to that of laser printers.

The disadvantage of this printer is a small paper tray (only 100 sheets), as well as the high cost of consumables, their capacity, and the required quantity (five cartridges are required). So be prepared for the cost if you print a lot of photos.
