The Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-300 is capable of doing more black prints and color prints compared to the Canon PIXMA TR150. the PRO-300 has a higher page yield. However, the TR150 has a higher printing speed. Overall, the PRO-300 is a higher-capacity printer, while the TR150 is the faster pick. The PRO-300 is, therefore, ideal for businesses, while the TR150 would work great for individuals who are always on the move because of its small size and efficiency. Check it out in our Canon Pixma TR150 review.

Regarding size, the Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-300 is a more compact printer choice than the Canon ImageCLASS MF753CDW. The PRO-300 also has a higher maximum resolution, making the PRO-300 a better option for those keen on high-quality prints. If you’re interested in what else the MF753CDW has to offer, check it out in our Canon ImageCLASS MF753CDW review, but if you’re in the market for an all-in-one printer, then our HP OfficeJet 8015e review or our Canon Color MF656CDW review might be worth a look, as they both feature a scanning, copying and faxing function, which the PRO-300 does not.

The Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-300 printer is an inkjet printer, while the Brother HL-L2325DW is a laser printer. The PRO-300 can also print in color while the HL-L232DW cannot, but on the other hand, the Brother printer is the better pick for black prints because it has a higher black page yield. This is partly because of the Brother printer’s faster printing speed. If you’re interested, you can take a look into what else the Canon printer has to offer in our Brother HL-L2325DW review.
