Printing with this mode doubles printing times but, even so, the x300 printers are faster than Epson x880 and Z3200 printers on their highest settings. Small type and fine graphic lines become extremely sharp with this option due to increase dot placement accuracy. This involves very complicated processing that slows the printing process. By putting the light inks down after darker inks, color saturation is increased and gloss differential is reduced even further. This option implements a new advanced screening method and changes the order that the inks are laid down. X100 versus x300 gamut comparison on Canson Photographique Baryta paper The polymer encapsulation also decreases gloss differential, bronzing and helps maintain precise, small dots that don’t bleed on paper. The polymer encapsulation increases media adhesion and provides impressive scratch resistance. The smaller pigment particles reduce reflection scatter which, in turn, increases saturation.
All 12 of Canon’s inks are newly formulated with smaller pigment particles and increased polymer encapsulation. The most significant improvement with these printers lies in Canon’s new Lucia EX inkset that increases the color gamut by about 20%. _ New Inkset Improves Gamut Substantially I choose to appreciate the differences between different products and try to avoid the type of brand loyalty that seems so common in our industry. I’d like to think I’m in a decent position to have a bird’s eye perspective of the industry as a whole and I strive to be as unbiased as I can with my observations. Not only do I own Canon, Epson and HP printers in my own studio where I print my artwork that I show in galleries, I oversee a large base of clients all over the world that use everything from Durst silver halide printers to 20 foot wide Scitex solvent printers. I’ll spare the details as to what comes in the box and focus on the points that experienced users are probably looking to hear.īefore I begin, I should say that I get my hands on a huge variety of printers in my work traveling around as a color and workflow consultant. Instead of writing a super long in-depth review, I’d like to offer this relatively brief and to-the-point synopsis of my own findings of these printers. The 44" 8300, 24" 63 (which includes a hard drive) are referred to as the "x300 printers." I’ve had the pleasure of testing both the 83 printers alongside others as they’ve come to market. Canon’s latest generation of large format printers offer an exciting mix of refinements.
