If you are printing anything smaller than 11x17, you are probably better off using your highest quality office copier. But for wide format, popping graphics, or heavy bond paper (such as canvas or vinyl) the Canon imagePROGRAF is an amazing weapon to have in your arsenal. The actual machine and ink is less than my company was paying to outsource our larger printing needs.Incentivized
Well suited for a company with low to medium-duty print needs, or for a company that isn't ready to lease or purchase a commercial copier. Not well suited for a company that prints a lot of pages in a month, or for a company that only wants to purchase one model of toner, because they are not very interchangeable.Incentivized

Having no experience in printing or graphic design, the Canon imagePROGRAF proved more user friendly and had less steps to learn for basic operation. Now I have learned to use the layout program, as well as routine maintenance (such as changing out paper rolls or ink) without depending on a tech or senior management having to assist me. Super user friendly!Incentivized
Cost per page is a lot better than the Pixma Pro. You can purchase replacement parts for the HP more easily if something is to break after warranty. The cost of ownership is lower than the Pixma Pro due to the Pixma Pro being a throw away if something was to break on it.Incentivized
