Thanks for bringing this up. I have tried both the Canon-PRO 300 for a year, and have eventually switched to the EPSON P700. To make the long story short:

While, Keith, you cannot discern differences between prints from these two printers and I really appreciate that, I looked at the differences in specifications in the past. Having put the specs next to each other, the following struck me.

Hi Keith,

Good conclusion Keith. I have the Pro 300 with no complaints but I have a question. I am very disciplined in keeping my monitor profiled and I create my own profiles for paper. I have 3 different papers that I use on a regular basis from the profiles I have created. Do you think new paper profiles should be created say every 6 months as a printer ages and possibly changes ?

I own/use the Canon Pro-100 and satisfied with the output except with 1 are: the prints/ink seem to begin to fade after 4 years and accelerate after 6 years especially in direct and indirect sun light. I'm struggling to decide if the Pro-300 would be worth the cost increase to replace. Pro Canon or Hahnemuhle photo paper is used.

Here in Germany all the Canons are actually sold out in the original shop - 200, 300, 1000 - all gone. Do you think there will be coming new ECO friendly ones with refill tanks in this year ? Its strange because printer sells are dropping as i red. hmmm ...

Hi Keith! I have a question regarding printing contact negatives for alternative photo processes.

Hi Keith, I run through a lot of your very informative videos and I'm slowly learning. In regards of the 2 printers you compare here, I read that the P700 has a resolution (dot per inch) of 5760X1440. whereas the P300 has a resolution of 4800X2400. As I am new to printing, I thought 300 dot per inch was the standard, so these numbers don't talk to me much, but are they an important factor to consider, or is it just marketing stuff on resolutions that are never used ? And if it is important, would you know why one would seem better than the other ? Thank you for any insight...

Hello again - After i got this roller marks on the 18100 i would like knowing if the Canon Pro 300 has also roller marks on different papers or is this all fine ? Thank you in advance.

Hi Keith, great video. I understand that the image quality results are very close. However, how about the age old question of drying heads with Epson printers? I used to own a 44" Epson 9800 which drive me nuts with its drying head. I ended up selling it as I was not printing often enough to keep it in proper working order. How about ink usage? I have heard that Canon wastes a lot of ink in order to keep the printer in tip-top shape. What is your take on both issues? Thanks.

Which of the two prints better BW images considering using the same paper?

I started looking over printers after watching a printing video a couple of weeks ago. Canon & Epson all the way up to over 30"-44" printers I believe). Beside looking at the max size paper & paper types, I started looking at the ink cartridge size & figuring out the $ pr ml which might actually be my deciding factor on my next printer giving me being just a hobbyist photographer. Probably take an awful lot of prints to make up the savings cost pr ml for say something like the SC P5000 over the SC P900 initial purchase price! But eventually, it might be worth it & definitely would be if you are a regular printer or paid pro.

Hi Keith,

You mentioned that the Pro-300 and Pro-10 printhead are the same. Will the Pro-300 printhead work in a Pro-10?

Hello.

Hi Keith, I have watched a lot of your videos, and thanks for every time being so good at comparing or evaluating printers. What I like especially is that you continuously emphasize that there is no such thing as a "best" printer as it varies with one's requirements. So let me give you some background: I am an enthusiast photographer, near pro level, but I still need to get at it. I am at the stage where I now occasionally sell photos as well (I sold about 200 in the last 6 months). I mainly sell them printed, and I go to the nearest print shop, have them printed, and that's it.

Which of the two printers in question have the best archival, fade resistant ink sets?

Question from the floor Keith, isn’t the main difference between Epson and Canon that the former prints its inks cold and Canon prints thermally? Or is that misinformation I’ve read elsewhere and does it make a difference anyway? ✌️🇦🇺

How about epson et 8550 vs Canon pro 300? I know they are very different beasts, but I'm struggling with the running cost of the Canon pro 300 or epson p700 vs et8550

Brilliant video
