Summary: Canon Photo Paper Pro- 1 Year Later
Review: .
.

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....

Summary: Amazing paper !!!
Review: After using the complimentary roll that comes in the BJC-8200, I had friends in disbelief that the print came from a 2mpixel camera ! I never thought that paper could make such a huge difference in print quality. And at <50c a sheet with excellent quality, this is also good value !

Summary: Outstanding paper!!!!!
Review: Especially combined with the canon S900 the results are very flawless and amazing!!!!! I highly recommend buying this paper if you want true to life, realistic photos, they come out looking like you have been to a photo lab!
I have been extremely impressed! I did try it at one time on an HP 970 and results were still good but not nearly as great as on the canon S900!!!! WAY TO GO CANON!!!!! JUST HOPE THIS GETS BACK IN STOCK!!!!!!!

Summary: Well Worth the Money
Review: Expensive paper but if you want the best possible photos this is the way to go. Can't tell the difference between photos printed on this paper and the ones I get from the photo developers. Just wish the stuff was not so expensive :(

Summary: Exceptional Photo Paper
Review: 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!

Summary: Simply Amazing!!
Review: I haven't checked how much of it is the paper and how much of it is the printer (probably a combination of both), but I have never seen anything come close to the output quality of the BJC-8200 on this paper. I've had disbelieving friends look at the prints up close through a low power eyepiece and can't see the pixels! It has revolutionized the way I take and print digital pictures.

Summary: Great, but overpriced - other Canon paper just as good
Review: 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).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Paper for Canon S9000
Review: 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.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Exceptional Photo Paper
Review: 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.
