A nice paper, that is consistently good.
I bought this to resurrect an old Canon MP460 printer.Like many of us, I keep taking ‘photos’ but, for me, they’re not really photos until they’re printed out.They end up sitting on your hard drive or SD card and over time they are lost or wiped and the memories are gone for ever.So, I decided to start printing out the photos that I knew I wanted to keep.I thought I would purchase original Canon paper as, hopefully, some kind of quality is guaranteed.I’m pleased with the results.They fit the printer well and I haven’t experienced any jamming so far.The paper itself is nice quality.Each sheet of 6 x 4 weighed in at 3.06 grammesAn old picture from a commercial print company such as Bonusprint weighs in at 3.69 grammes. So, this paper is slighter lighter, but comparable.The finish is a nice gloss, not quite as glossy as the paper you would have got from a printers, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.It takes the ink well, with no bleeding and is dry instantly.I don’t have an awful lot to compare it to, but I’m very happy with this paper, and for the cost of a hundred sheets, I think it’s good value.I hope you found this review helpful.

The paper I use. The paper I am happy with
This is the paper I use for my photography. The only paper I have used for some time and have used hundreds of sheets of it. I know the results are consistent and I use Canon cameras and a Canon printer so it makes sense to me. I used to use other, cheaper paper but could not be certain of the quality until I ran a batch through. A good general purpose photo paper, not the cheapest but probably value for the quality.In fairness I cannot compare it to other brand leaders but if anyone wants to send me some to try I would enjoy running a comparison test and posting the results. In the mean time I will continue using Canon GP501

Print quality
I’ve just bought another 100 sheets of this excellent photo paper. I’ve read whining reviews about this and that fault so I felt compelled to write in support.Listen, you can’t just buy any paper and bung it in a printer and expect perfection, you have to do some testing and adjusting.Is your screen accurate for colour representation?Do you have the latest printer driver and is it adjusted?Is your photo edit software up to date and adjusted?Test and adjust until you are satisfied that whatever paper you are using prints as near to your screen as possible.Your setting for one paper is possibly miles away when using a different paper, test and see!!!Finally, I can’t say that this paper is the ultimate in quality but I’m more than happy and c’mon, £18 for 100 sheets, unbeatable.I’ve Canon cameras, Canon printer, proper Canon inks and of course Canon paper. I do not have any problems.

Good general purpose photopaper, not as good as the “PP” range
Having a new Canon printer that can print up to A3+, and uses a slightly different type of ink, I decided to try Canon papers instead of my usual Kodak, on the basis that the Canon paper could be better “tuned” to the printer inks than other papers. Having made prints on this GP paper, I compared them to identical ones on “PP” Canon paper, as well as those on Kodak. This GP paper produces sparkling prints that are slightly better than the Kodak ones, but do not have the vibrance of prints from the much higher priced PP range, and are also more red biased. Of course this will all depend on the model of printer used as well, and you can adjust the settings of the printer to match the paper. It is interesting that Kodak seem prepared to give a much higher lifespan of prints on their papers than Canon do, but I doubt I will be around long enough to actually test this! It’s a good photo paper for general purpose use, but if you really need high quality results for display prints I would suggest it’s worth the extra for the “PP” papers, and if you compare the cost of GP papers against PP ones,(and the Platinum range), it’s not surprising that the results are not as good!

Ho acquistato il prodotto per stampare delle foto in casa, cercavo un prodotto conveniente pratico e stampando con un stampate Canon, ho preferito prendere la carta della stessa marca, e devo dire che la carta offre una buona qualità di stampa, è lucida e sufficientemente luminosa, le stampe con una qualità di stampa alta, vengono molto bene con un ottima resa cromatica. Vale sicuramente i soldi spesi per l’acquisto. Unico piccolo neo probabilmente la grammatura 210 gr è un pochino sottile, ma una per una foto che va messa in cornice non è affatto un problema. Poi come scritto sulla confezione “Everyday Use” e appunto adatta all’uso quotidiano senza troppe pretese ma con un ottima qualità .Arrivano in una scatola suddivise in due pratiche buste trasparenti che possono essere richiuse da 50 pezzi ciascuna.ð Ottima Carta per l’uso quotidiano.ð Ottimo Rapporto qualità prezzo.ð Ottima resa cromatica e finitura.ð Ottima carta fotografica per uso quotidiano.ð Grammatura bassa ma non rappresenta un grosso problema.In definitiva, ricomprerò sicuramente questa carta in futuro, dal momento che mi sono trovato molto bene, tuttavia per i più esigenti consiglio la PP-201 Canon che sicuramente è un prodotto per un utilizzo professionale.

Mon imprimante Canon laisse des traces sur ce papier, malgré tous mes tests et nettoyages divers. Même problème avec d’autres papiers photo de style “everyday” (d’autres marques aussi). Je déconseille ce papier si l’on veut un beau rendu des photos. Le problème n’arrive pas avec du papier Photo Paper Plus Glossy II.
Not very useful, because the size of chambers are very small in each box. –
Good quality

Trae 100 papeles de 10×15 cm (tamaño foto estándar), de un buen grosor, en dos paquetes de 5O, dentro de la caja.Acabado con pelÃcula plastificada en una de las caras (cara de impresión), que le da brillo a las fotografÃas. Bastante resistente a golpes o dobles accidentales.Excelente calidad fotográfica de impresión.Lógicamente, obtener una foto impresa de excelente calidad fotográfica no depende solo del papel, también depende de la impresora (que tenga buena calidad fotográfica), y de la calidad de la foto original a imprimir (que este bien enfocada, bien de brillo, contraste, etc).Si se usa una buena impresora y buenas fotos, el resultado es excelente.
