Canon has officially announced the imagePROGRAF PRO-310.
The PRO-310 will be able to print A3+, comes with 10-color Lucia PRO II inks, which is the same type of ink as the recently launched imagePROGRAF PRO-1100. There is a maximum print length of 1.8m as well as additional page sizes when compared to the PRO-300.
Canon has added a new option to reduce “bronzing” when printing on glossy papers.
The PRO-310 also has a much smaller footprint than the PRO-1100, which will be a big deal for new printing customers as well as existing ones.
Keith Cooper from Northlight Images breaks down everything about the imagePROGRAF PRO-310 below. It looks to be a very good update from its predecessor.

Press Release
Today, Canon is releasing the imagePROGRAF PRO-310, a new inkjet printer for enthusiast photographers with 10-colour pigment ink for A3+ printing, which combines high photographic image quality, light-fastness and abrasion resistance.
The Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-310, a new product in the large-format inkjet printer series, is a printer that meets the needs of photographers who want to print their photos beautifully and display them as works of art for a long time. By adopting the newly developed pigment ink LUCIA PRO II1, the PRO series achieves outstanding photographic image quality, such as rich colours and deep blacks, while significantly improving the light resistance and abrasion resistance of printed materials, enabling the creation of high-quality works with rich expression and long-term storage.
The new LUCIA PRO II inks, which are common to the higher-end models, use a pigment that is resistant to UV rays and does not deteriorate easily. As a result, the light resistance of printed materials reaches up to 200 years2, enabling long-term, archival storage. In addition, when printing on glossy paper, the wax added to the ink smooths the surface, making the printed materials highly resistant to abrasion. It also prevents scratches during post-printing operations such as framing and transportation, improving the ease of handling printed materials.

When printing on glossy paper, the transparent Chroma Optimiser ink suppresses reflected light and evens out the gloss, allowing true reproduction of the original colours of photographs regardless of lighting, viewing angle or other environmental conditions. When printing on fine art paper, matte black ink with high black density enables deep, tight blacks. It enhances light and scratch resistance, while creating expressive works that reproduce rich colours and subject textures.
Styrofoam used in product packing for the previous model3has been replaced with recyclable corrugated cardboard and pulp molds, reducing the amount of single use plastic.
