In this video, Julian Baird puts the Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-310 and the Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-1100 head-to-head to find out what truly separates these two professional photo printers.
On paper, both printers promise exceptional colour accuracy, deep blacks, and gallery-quality results — but does the larger PRO-1100 actually produce visibly better prints? Or is the PRO-310 more than enough for most photographers?
Julian compares the two using the same images, the same editing workflow, and carefully selected Fotospeed papers to reveal differences.
This isn’t just about specifications — it’s about what you can actually see when the print is in your hands.
If you’re deciding between A3+ and A2 printing, considering an upgrade, or wondering whether larger format printing makes a real difference to your photography, this comparison will help you make the right choice.
