Printing your photos using one of the best printers can give you newfound appreciation for your own work — and that’s exactly what happened when I used (and tested) the Canon PIXMA Pro-200S. This is arguably one of the greatest printers for photographers as it can make large and tiny prints, ranging from A3+ to postcard-sized.

With its wide-format support up to A3+ and an 8-ink dye system (double the ink tanks of any we've tested), it delivers vibrant color accuracy and flexibility for everything from panoramic landscapes to finely detailed portraits. In our hands-on tests, the Pro-200S delivered images with remarkably true-to-life greens and bright blues that feel almost textured, details that often get lost on lesser printers. Fine textures in skin and foliage held up beautifully, and color transitions were smooth, making this an excellent choice for anyone obsessed with faithful photographic reproduction.

For me, a headline upgrade in both the Pro-200 and Pro-200S is that they have a new-and-improved range of inks that deliver a greater color space, superior vibrancy, and deeper reds, blues, and blacks.

and I'll be arguing for the Canon Pixma Pro 200S. My position is that for truly professional work, especially in photography and graphic arts, that large format capability, uh, coupled with a dedicated ink system is paramount. It's about not compromising on artistic scope. >> Okay. And I'll be taking the side of the Epson XP8800's philosophy.

The newer PRO-200S is, unfortunately, a slight downgrade from its predecessor, as it isn't as color-accurate and doesn't perform as well in reproducing fine details. Its black page yield is.
