The act of printing my images has become part of my image making process. From small prints when collating bodies of work and curating them, through to larger prints for customers. I firmly believe taking control of your own print set-up can help your photography in many aspects, from the point of capture to the final image.
Choosing the Pro-300
I recently decided to upgrade my home print set-up to a Canon Pro-300 from the lovely people at Fotospeed (it’s worth buying it from a reputable company who offer customer support should you need it!). I have access to larger printers for A2+ customer prints when required but I wanted a better pro-level printer at home that could handle up to A3+ in size as that’s what 90% of my print requirements are. I’m not printing multiple images a day and the printer needed to fit onto my home office desk. After a good amount of research and consulting with fellow photographers and suppliers I settled on the Canon Pro-300.
Video Series
Choosing and setting up a new printer can be a little daunting, as such I wanted to create a series of videos that could help guide a potential new buyer through the whole process, starting with a big heavy box and ending up with beautiful prints on the page that match your screen.

In this first video I walk through everything that comes with the Canon Pro-300 printer, how to safely and easily set it up. How to connect it to your computer, download the software and prepare the printer for action!
In the second video I’ll be walking through how to make your first print :)
