Summary: Gorgeous paper - Perfect photo prints EVERY TIME!!!
Review: As I write this review, I am using the this Photo paper Plus I bought off Amazon. It is just the perfect paper to compliment your Canon Printer. Personally I have a Canon i860 (just got off Amazon) to replace an older Canon whose printhead died (S900). Once I got my printer, I reprinted almost every photo I have! And what paper did I use - none other than Canon's Photo Paper Plus 4X6 glossy. It has never let me down - and I see absolutely no difference between the glossy and photo paper pro, so why not save $?

This paper is $11.99 + tax in every retail store I visit. I can't believe Amazon can sell it this cheaply! I picked up 4 packs because it's too good of a deal and I know I'll use every last piece of paper.

PROS:
Wonderful prints - looks better than a photo lab in much less time!
Paper is nice and glossy, never had a defective piece.
Colors are true and vivid.
Great price vs. retail.

CONS:
Packaging leaves much to be desired. The outer carton is fine, but - I personally have ruined a few pieces of Canon paper because the adhesive they use to seal their plastic packages attaches to the paper and rips it apart - I carefully remove the plastic packaging and throw it away immediately.


BUY THIS PAPER!!! It's wonderful and inexpensive! Perfect for Canon printers!

Summary: Flawless and fun.
Review: Before finding it on Amazon, I use to drive 40 miles each way to buy this at an overpriced, overcrowded electronics megastore than shall remain nameless for $12.99 per pack. THAT is how far above this paper stands above everything else that I have tried. The price is great here and if you get quality paper it will reduce the ink money and frustration you would spend trying to get a decent print out of a cheaper paper. Also, the paper is the perfect size, quality, and cost (about half as much per print than a tranditional print) to have fun with. BUY TWO SIDED TAPE and stick these little gems everywhere.

I generally cannot discern the difference between this and the pro paper, and after spending the last decade in the darkroom, I like to think I can generally tell something about quality photographic prints.

I have not had the yellow tint problem that has been mentioned in earlier reviews.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Very short life
Review: I agree with everyone that this paper produces terrific results initially. If the prints are exposed to direct light for any period of time, serious fading becomes evident (using canon inks in a s750 canon printer). The pictures on my pegboard at work have faded to almost nothing within 3 months. Although I have not tried the photopaper pro, I would not trust this paper for archival photos. For about the same price (and less hassle), I am using online printing from now on.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very few (if any) people will know the difference
Review: I bought 5 packs of this paper and printed 100 photos for the front of our holiday card last year (December 2003).

The results were awesome, and most people cannot tell that it is not a print.

I printed from iPhoto on an iMac G4 using a Canon i850 photo printer.

You can always get better paper and a better printer and get even better results.. but for nearly every use I have found this paper (and other Canon papers like the 8.5x11) look terrific.

Buy a bunch, you will print more than you think, and it's no fun to run out.

Review: I bought a i960 printer last week and it came with 5 samples of Photo Paper Pro. The printer was my first "photo printer" so I decided to give it a try and see how close the quality is from that of professional printing. After printing one sample, I have to agree w/ many reviewers here that the print quality of Canon printer along w/ the Canon paper is awesome!

I then bought 3 packs of Canon Photo Paper Plus (afterall it's $.10/page cheaper than the Pro). I printed the same photo with the Plus and I cannot tell the difference in terms of color and clarity! The only difference I saw was, if I look at the photos under the light in a certain angle, I see that the printed surface of the Plus is slightly rougher (less uniform) than that of the Pro. But you really have to look close to see the difference and honestly it doesn't impact the quality of the photo. So my conclusion is the Canon Photo Paper Plus is the way to go! (BTW, I previously bought some generic "glossy photo paper" on eBay and the quality was not accetable w/ ink smearing.)

Summary: Nearly identical to Canon Photo Paper Pro!

Summary: Great bargain
Review: I bought a new Canon i560 a month ago to replace my old Lexmark Z52. The printer was primarily just for all-purpose use, not really for photographs. Included in the box were 5 free samples Canon Photo Paper Plus (Glossy). So I decided to give it a try. I was blown-away by the quality of the printer combined with this paper. The quality is abosolutely unreal.

I'm not sure whether the printer contributes more or the paper contributes more, but this is a sweet deal given that this package now costs $7.94 for a 50 pack (10/16/2003)-- that's 16 cents a sheet. Add ink costs, and maybe per print it costs around 25 cents. If you were to order digital prints online--the cheapest I've found was 18 cents a print not even counting shipping. With shipping, for a batch of 27 exp, it runs around 26 cents. Therefore if you have a good printer, this 50-pack is a great deal by the sheer convenience of printing 4X6 and getting them relatively instantly compared to ordering online and waiting a week for them.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: just as good as Photo Pro
Review: I got some free Photo Pro paper with my printer. I printed the same pic on Pro and Paper Plus, and the pictures looked exactly the same to me. The Pro paper may be slightly heavier. Anyway, I'll be buying this paper b/c it's great quality and a good price.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Product...
Review: I have a Canon i850 printer. I have used the Canon Photo Paper Pro (4x6) and the Canon Photo Paper Plus (4x6). They both appear to be about the same quality. I currently only use and recommend the Canon Photo Paper Plus (4x6) because of its price is a lot less and the quality is basically the same.
