What's the resolution of the Canon projector? Can it utilise the full resolution of the digital files, or are they resized, perhaps downwards, to fit the projectors LCD? Also, if LCD monitors can't be calibrated like a CRT can be, it may be that the LCDs in these projectors are equally 'wild'.
Side by side comparisons of the best possible prints might be more illustrative.
