Summary: Best Paper I Have Ever Used !
Review: I have tried all kinds and prices of photo - inkjet paper. This is by far the Best of any I have tried. The gloss is the highest and it is totally - touchable dry before it drops from the printer. Its hard to find. .... If you are into your photos - once you try this - you will buy nothing else.

Summary: Terrific paper
Review: I own an Epson R300. Have used Epson Premium Glossy 4X6, Kodak Premium 4X6 and Ilford Glossy 8 1/2 by 11. Epson Premium Glossy is superb. Kodak Premium is unacceptable. Ilford Glossy is superb. Being able to buy large quantity of Ilford at reasonable price means I will continue to use the Epson for 4X6 and the Ilford for 8 1/2 by 11. You can't go wrong with the Ilford. Inks are dry when printer finishes.

Summary: Great Quality, Great Price, Large Amounts of Papers
Review: I use a S9000 - an awesome Printer by the way- and have tried these Papers:
Canon Photo Pro
Canon Matte
Ilford Smooth Gloss
Ilford Printasia Premium Photo Glossy
CompUSA Photo PaperThe Canon Photo Paper seems to be the best but also the most expensive. I would say almost equally good the Ilford Smooth Gloss. It comes in large supplies of sheets per packet (100/250) at a great price of under a half buck per sheet. The Ilford Printasia is a cheaper peace of paper and you happen to see the difference when you have the results right next to each other. It appears somewhat lither in color with slightly less contrast compared to the Smooth Gloss. It is also somewhat thinner than the other afore mentioned papers. Still a pretty competitive product regarding the price.
The Canon Matte is as the name tells you not glossy at all. I would only recommend it when you convert your picture with digitla darkroom technique to a kind of painting and than print it on this pice of paper to give it a painting like appearance. Other than that I wouldn't recommend it. Now on the CompUSA product. Don't let me even comment on it. It's a shame that a company wiht a good reputation puts out paper like this regardless the price. It doesn't dry and only smears the jets. Stay away!!! Verdict
Absolute performance: Choose the Canon Pro
Good performance at an affordable Price: Ilford Smooth Gloss

Summary: Use This If You Have A Canon Printer
Review: I use this paper with my Canon i850 printer and Canon's free Easy-PhotoPrint software to print out vibrantly-colored, glossy photos of all my vacations. The key feature is that the paper dries instantly, even the black areas, making them smear-free & easy to store in clear sheet protectors. Just choose "Photo Paper Pro" as your paper when using the Easy-PhotoPrint software & let the printer do the rest. I could never store pictures I printed out on Kodak papers because they never totally dried.

Summary: No need to buy expensive printer brand papers
Review: I'm sure most of you know that the photo papers from your printer manufactures are rather expensive in comparision to others. I currently use a Canon i9900 printer and the prints I get from Ilford are fantastic. Quality is such a subjective opinion, but to me Ilford's Galerie Smooth Gloss paper is just as good as Canon's but at a lower price.
Another good brand is Fujifilm's Premium Plus. It has sort of a textured look on the surface of the paper, which makes your pictures appear sharper when you are farther away but the texture is noticable if you get real close. It's great for pictures that are hung on the wall because it's sharp even farther away, but for viewing less than an arm's length stay with Ilford's Galarie Smooth Gloss.
There's no need to buy expensive Canon/HP/Epson paper ever again.Just make sure to read the included suggested printer settings for your manufacture.
