Wow!

2008-01-31
I have used many different brands and types of paper for printing photos, but I have been completely won over by this paper. I have had so many compliments on the "photo lab" look, and many people turn the photos over to see where they were processed! While it is expensive paper (which is why I gave 4 stars rather than 5), it is the only one I'll use to print my keeper photos. I have friends who say they have switched to using this, too.

Excellent photo paper!

Images are clear and balanced well. Drying time is nil compared to other papers. Overall, not expensive considering the excellent quality output.

Shockingly good prints

Used it with my Canon i960 printer and Digital Rebel.
Prints are stunning. Couldn't ask for more. Printed the same pictures on Kodak inkjet paper, and the Canon blew the Kodak paper away.

Canon Photo Paper Pro- 1 Year Later

Stored in 8x10 vinyl binders and page protectors. I made the prints with at least one inch white borders, the one edge exposed to the air has yellowed up to about 1/2 inch in. The rest of the paper has remained unchanged and the image itself appears unchanged. 5x7 prints with no exposed edges have no yellowing....

Black and white darkroom RC prints in the same binder...snow white EDGES!!!

I am still keeping that B&W darkroom....

Great, but overpriced - other Canon paper just as good 2004-02-23
I tested my new Canon i960 with a variety of papers. Like most printers, the output is MUCH better when using the manufacture's own paper (as opposed to the cheaper generic paper), but there is no need to buy the most expensive "Pro" paper as neither I nor my wife could discern ANY difference between it and Canon's "Photo paper pluss - glossy". There may be a benefit to the "Pro" paper that cannot be seen (lasts longer?) but at almost twice the cost it is not worth it - both papers will produce the highest quality prints on your Canon printer (I think they look better than the ones I get from the photo lab).

I didn't believe it, but it's true... 2003-11-24
This package of photo paper from Canon is high-gloss and heavy-weight, producing truly remarkable high-quality photo prints. It is supported by the following Canon printers: BJC-8200, S600, & S800

Best Paper for Canon S9000 2003-05-28
I use other, cheaper paper for proofs and for prints of snapshots, but my favorite paper is this one. The Easy Print software from Canon offers Photo Paper Pro as one of the options when you pick your paper type for printing. Easy Print then uses the Photo Paper Pro profile when it sends the image to the Canon printer. Elegant and easy. The Pro line of papers is heavy and glossy, and the prints are beautiful.

Great PHOTO paper 2003-04-29
Not much to say here except that this is great paper. If you can afford it, buy it. I would buy it all the time, except I think it's too expensive. But if you want the best prints for your pictures and you've used a Canon camera and a Canon printer, then you should definitely get this paper.

Exceptional Photo Paper 2003-03-30
I used this paper with my Canon i950 printer and the results were indistinguishable from photo lab prints. I've used other photo papers and have achieved good results but none that compare to what this paper will produce.

Amazing clarity. Color saturation sometimes lacking. 2002-12-09
I have been using this paper with my Canon i850. Until I bought this paper, I had seen nothing that produced such amazing clarity, sharpness, and preservation of highlights. There is absolutely no grain. The paper has no tackiness when it comes out of the printer and the print surface is absolutely smooth (some papers produce a kind of outline of the objects in the picture which you can see when you hold the picture so that there's a glare across the surface). The whites are very bright and clean, and the blacks are perfect.

In printing out a number of my photos, I noticed that the paper has some trouble reproducing very saturated emerald greens. This bothered me, as I do a lot of landscape photography of very green places like Scotland and Maine. I did a print test using several of my pictures and six different photo paper stocks: Canon Photo Paper Pro, Kodak Ultima Picture Paper, and four Ilford stocks: Classic Gloss, Classic Pearl, Smooth Gloss and Smooth Pearl. I discovered that of the 6 stocks, the Canon paper and the Ilford Smooth papers were the best. The Kodak Ultima and the Ilford Classic papers all had two immediately obvious disadvantages: they were tacky for some time after printing, and there was grain in the black areas.

The Canon paper is perhaps the slightest bit better at reproducing tiny details. Its bright whites are whiter than the Ilford Smooth whites. Its highlights are more sharply rendered than the Ilford Smooth highlights... but only marginally so. The Ilford Smooth produces deep, magnificent greens and richer reds, and renders faint pastel blues and greens faithfully instead of letting them fall off to white or gray like the Canon paper. So there are advantages to both, and I imagine which paper is best depends on what kind of picture you are printing. I will still use both papers, but I do really like the fact that the Ilford Smooth Gloss paper can be purchased in 25, 100, or 250 page packs, and costs between 43¢ and 60¢ a page instead of the Canon paper's 80¢ per page. You should try them both!
