I have had this printer for a few months now, and I love it. The directions for set up were straightforward, and the process was smooth. As a hobbyist photographer, I primarily print from PhotoShop or Lightroom on Red River or Hahnemūle paper, and I have been pleased with the results. Both color and black-and-white prints turn out well.
Good results, you need patience for the many glitches

When I can get all the complicated setting to match and everything to communicate...even though I hard wired this printer...I love the result. However there have been too many glitches...
Great printer but with every Canon printer I have owned (5+) the software needs work. Often just doesn't make sense or is complicated. My Pro9000 is simpler to replace ink than either my Pr0 300 and Pro 310.
A Satisfying Printer with Excellent Color Rendition

The Pro-310 is the first 'professional' printer and has, thus far, fulfilled my desire to print out images that were to be both vivid and accurate. It's a printer I highly recommend for newcomers to the world of photo printing. Although I considered the Pro 200s as my first pro printer, a fellow who worked at the camera store where I got my first mirrorless camera recommended that I get a printer that used pigment-based ink instead of dye-based ink if I were to sell my prints. The fellow's advice proved to be spot-on. This printer is easy to use from the start. I used the print mode from my Affinity Photo II and the Canon professional layout program. The printer worked fine without a fuss from these two programs. I have used various Canon papers. I would recommend a luster or semi-gloss photo paper at this point. One quick caveat: Although (using letter-sized photo papers) this printer is generally a miser as far as ink consumption is concerned, it does use a fair amount of black photo ink. If you are planning to use much black and white printer, be prepared for much use of black inks. Overall, I am quite satisfied with this printer.
When Epson ended the selling of their ink for my printer I was stunned and so were many other people who owned their printer. So I turned to Canon with my 1 request I wanted a printer that can print a 13 x 19 inch image. Well it worked. Splendid color! What I really liked was the vast amount of information it gave you in the printer screen, It also relayed a poblem by number to the on line manuel. I like the 13 X 19 image size because my photographs sell well in that format. I seem to sell more prints in retail stores like ice cream shops then art outlets. I have not tried the cards yet but based on making 8 x 10s and 11 x 17 I am sure the printer will do the job. I must be honest I have no interest in wireless feature but it is there should I need it.
