Overview

About the imagePROGRAF GP-300

The imagePROGRAF GP-300 is the 36-inch model of Canon's compact GP Series, giving in-house sign shops a full poster width while keeping a footprint that fits an ordinary office. Its five pigment colors plus Fluorescent Pink, a built-in 500 GB hard drive for reprints without a PC, and direct USB thumb-drive printing make it a self-contained sign shop for locations that change their displays often.

The GP Series ink is formulated for bright, bold images. Canon's Radiant Infusion technology layers Fluorescent Pink with the other inks on the paper surface during printing, producing both vivid neon and soft pastel color. The GP-300 and GP-200 are the world's first PANTONE Calibrated printers for the PANTONE PASTELS & NEONS GUIDE coated. Prints resist fading for long-term display and are water resistant for outdoor use.

A 3.0-inch color LCD touchscreen shows status at a glance, secure PIN printing holds jobs until you enter a passcode at the panel, and the stand is standard. PosterArtist Lite builds posters and banners from templates in four steps with access to thousands of license-free stock images; Free Layout Plus, Direct Print Plus, and Accounting Manager are included.

Key features

What it does well

  • Fluorescent Pink ink and Radiant Infusion

    A sixth ink channel adds Fluorescent Pink to the black, matte black, cyan, magenta, and yellow pigments. Radiant Infusion layers it with the other inks during printing for bright neon and delicate pastel tones.

  • PANTONE Calibrated for pastels and neons

    The world's first PANTONE Calibrated printer for the PANTONE PASTELS & NEONS GUIDE coated, with 85 percent gamut coverage on Premium Semi-Glossy Paper 2 in the Poster/Photo (Fluorescent) High mode.

  • Built-in 500 GB hard drive and PIN printing

    Store and reprint jobs from the printer without a PC, and hold confidential prints until a numerical passcode is entered at the control panel.

  • Direct USB thumb-drive printing

    Load JPEG or PDF files on a USB drive, walk up to the printer, and print from the 3.0-inch touchscreen.

  • Full 36-inch width in a compact body

    Handles 8- to 36-inch rolls and cut sheets with a standard stand in a 51-inch-wide footprint, so full-size posters and banners fit in a small work area.

  • PosterArtist Lite and layout software included

    PosterArtist Lite builds posters, banners, and signage from templates in four steps with thousands of license-free images. Free Layout Plus nests and tiles, Direct Print Plus batch prints and collates, and Accounting Manager tracks costs for up to 50 devices.

Included with every system

What comes with it when you buy from ABC

The imagePROGRAF GP-300 is the same everywhere. What's different is the 44 years of local service behind it.

  • Delivery, setup, and network install

    We deliver, unbox, place, and connect the device to your network and every workstation that needs it. You print the first page before we leave.

  • On-site training for your team

    A Canon-certified technician walks your staff through the panel, scanning workflows, and the everyday things that generate service calls when nobody explains them.

  • Genuine Canon toner, auto-shipped

    Supplies ship before you run out, based on your device's own meter readings. Genuine Canon consumables only, so your warranty and image quality stay intact.

  • Same-day service standard

    Local technicians dispatched from our office in Old Hickory, not a national ticket queue. Average response is under four hours.

  • Plain-language agreements

    Lease, rent, or buy. Separate color and mono cost-per-page, no hidden escalators, and a person who answers questions about the contract by name.

  • One dedicated account manager

    The same person from proposal through the life of the system. They know your account, your volumes, and when it's time to talk about what's next.
