With a Canon printer, this is an absolute necessity
Rating: 5/5
It's been said before, but it's worth repeating. With a Canon printer, nothing else comes close to the quality of this paper. I once bought every brand I could find and did a comparison, here are my results with a Canon i850 photo printer.
1st. Canon Photo Paper Pro, hands down, no question 2nd. Epson, much better than the rest 3rd. Burlington (huh? found this at my local Target), pretty grainy Tied 4th: Kodak "Ultima" and HP, both very grainy
So, if you're using a Canon printer, Epson will do in a pinch but still doesn't compare to this paper.
Photo lab quality
Rating: 4/5
Included with the purchase of the Canon i950 is a sample pack of the Photo Pro for borderless pictures. Skeptical with the comments regarding the final results being comparable to those printed in photolab, I was quite pleased when I actually saw the images that were printed. Using the Canon s50 digital camera (5MP) and the i950, the results were quite professional looking. I even printed pictures taken with a Kodak DC240 (1MP), which also printed well. In addition, the software included with the i950 allowed me to print pictures with a white border, giving it a true photo lab result.
There are a few downsides to this product. Unlike most photo papers, paper is that both sides are blank. Canon did not stamp their logo on the back, so it can be difficult to tell right away which side is the print side. The pictures and Canon ink should last about 25 years, provided you keep the pictures under glass or in an album, out of direct sunlight and high humidity. Overall, the Canon Photo Pro is a great photo paper for everyday pictures, especially those suitable for framing or special albums/scrapbooks.
Fabulous Prints
Rating: 5/5
I just bought a Canon s400 4.0 megapixel camera and the Canon i560 printer. I am amazed beyond my wildest expectations on the quality of the camera and the amazing quality of the prints that have come off this very moderately priced printer.
I used the Canon photo paper plus glossy and am pleased to report my photos printed better than Ofoto or any other developer I have used. Gorgeous true colors.
I had some left over cheaper paper and printed a few photos and the difference in quality was unbelievable. Definitely use this paper if you want the best quality.
