Canon 4x6 Glossy Photo Paper Plus, 120 Sheets (PP-101) Reviews

• Great paper for your canon printer

  
  By AX9U68PDL4CTX on 2004-02-23
  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 the two. There may be a benifit to the "Pro" paper that cannot be seen (lasts longer?) but at almost twice the cost it is not worth it - this paper will produce the highest quality prints on your Canon printer (I think they look better than the ones I get from the photo lab).
  
  

• Absolutely amazing quality paper!

  If you own a Canon photo printer then you should not hesitate to purchase this paper.

  I recently purchased a Canon i860 Photo Printer and ordered some of this paper along with it. Imagine my amazement while the printer spit out a lab quality photo (borderless) in under 45 seconds on this paper. And yes, it truly is the paper that makes the difference.

  I have tried other companies paper in my printer and can not achieve the same results. Using my 5 MP camera, I am getting better than lab photos with this paper. Better photos, I'm not joking.

  The paper holds the ink nicely, so your photo is dry the instant your pinter has finished its last pass.

  I had friends up one evening, took their photo, uploaded the picture and they had a photo in their hands in under 2 minutes. Their eyes were amazed, and they were truly speechless at the quality of this paper.

  Do not skimp on the quality, if that is what you are after in paper. This is the paper for you.
  
  

• Almost like the Photo Paper Pro

  
  By AVH11WSMMLDW3 on 2004-10-30
  I have used both this photo paper and the photo paper pro, and i really cant tell a difference. I am using a canon mp730 (great multifunction printer if you are in the market btw) and the colors come out crisp and vibrant. The only thing you might notice between this and the really high end stuff is the texture of the print. It seems that this paper is ever-so slightly rougher than the really good stuff. If you are just making regular prints to share with family, I would get this stuff...if you are using it for professional shots or something that you would like to keep for a long time, i would get the higher end stuff.
  
  

• better than most papers but not better than canon pro

  
  By A15MXO12DIQS9O on 2006-04-20
  I've ordered 2 -120 sheets of Canon photo paper plus, glossy because of the good reviews here. I currently bought a canon pixma mp800 that came with the photo paper PRO. I thought the Pro printed pretty good and expected not much difference with the PLUS, however there is. Although PLUS was not bad, compared to PRO, you can difinitely tell the difference. The color and clarity of the print is great on the PRO but the PLUS is slightly blurry and the color of the skin tone is distorted somewhat. i would suggest PRO over PLUS, unless the best quality is not important to you.
  
  

• Stellar Photos

  This paper is absolutely amazing with my Canon printer! I was surprised to find that the color was accurate, the prints very clear, and the paper was dry once it came out of my printer. I even "test smudged" the paper and there was not one run, smudge, or ink left on my fingers (unlike my first attempt on the crappy generic paper) I'm definitely reordering this stuff for my photo printing needs :)
  
  
• Love this paper!
  By A20JSNCXK5XD0N on 2005-07-18
  I bought a new Canon printer and tested out this paper (free sample came with printer). I tested it against Staples, Epson and HP paper and this is by far the best! The color quality is amazing and the finish on the paper is very smooth. Also, the ink dries almost immediately and leaves no sticky residue. Highly recommended and very much worth the price! I don't think I'll be using any other kind of paper again!
  
  
• The BEST photo paper!
  By A1COIUODR6GW22 on 2005-12-22
  I won't use anything BUT Canon Photo Paper Plus Glossy. It delivers quality prints that are (in my opinion) better than photo labs. This Amazon price cannot be beat!!
  
  
• At last - printed photos from the computer!
  By A1Y4Q9T9WNOINS on 2006-01-29
  We've had a digital camera for years, yet, like a TV commercial we've seen, we still had the pictures sitting on our computer. However, a friend got me interest in scrapbooking and cool photo albums for Christmas, and of course I needed photos to do these projects. When we bought our Canon printer (almost two years ago!), the guy at the store threw in a package of HP paper as our our computer is HP. When I decided we needed to print out some of our pictures, I used that paper, and the pictures turned out awful. I did online research and found that the Canon printers work best with their own paper, so I bought some. The pictures printed on the Canon Photo Paper Plus are beautiful. It is impossible for the untrained eye to know that they are not "photo lab" produced. I am so glad my friend turned me on to scrapbooking, and I am so glad that I tried the Canon photo paper - it probably saved me from buying a new printer.
  
  
• Canon Photo Paper Plus, Glossy
  By A6SNLWQK48J6N on 2006-11-09
  I use Canon Photo Paper Plus, Glossy on my Canon MP780 multi-printer, I use this printer for printing all my photo's. You can't tell the difference between my photo's and Wal-Mart Photo's.
  Canon recommends their photo paper on their printers of course, but you know what?, they are right, in my opinion this is one of the best photo papers on the market. I don't use anything else.
  Amazon.Com has the best prices, so no need to go any further.

  Used various photo paper, this is the best on the market.
  
  
• Awesome paper
  By ABZL5A2FQGM0I on 2005-05-31
  The Canon glossy paper is great! I've printed out over 600 4x6 pictures on my Canon i960 printer and the pictures are much better than taking them to any photo lab. I have used nothing but the Canon glossy photo paper and certainly have been quite pleased with the paper not to mention flawless printing on the i960. I certainly recommend the paper and the printer and the price on amazom for the paper is better then any store I've been to.
  
  
• Super pictures on this paper
  By A13HLYU77LO375 on 2005-10-24
  My digital Kyrocera L4 printing through MAC OS X.3 to a Cannon i8500 on Cannon paper is incredible!
  
  
• Great product for the money
  By A2FKKGT911NVEW on 2006-03-13
  I have printed on many types of paper and this product works great with my Canon S9000 printer. After trying many types of paper I have settled on Canon, Epson or Agfa depending on what I am printing. This product is great for snapshots and is a lot easier than what I use to do (cut 8 1/2 x 11 paper down). My previous method was chosen because I could never find good quality paper for snapshots. The color is good and even throughout the print. I would recommend this product to anyone that needs to print snapshots, very affordable...
  
  
• Great service from Amazon
  By A3DO08YLT0DPGR on 2006-05-10
  I bought this product and had to return it as it was not the right one for my hardware. This was the first time I was returning something which I cought from Amazon. They made the process so simple and easy to use. I am thankful to Amazon on this service.
  
  I would buy anything from amazon more than I used to as it is much better than seeing a not so happy face at the counter while returning the goods with a valid reason.
  
  
• Know your printer
  By A2Y9W3V4RX4XPP on 2007-01-03
  Good product but too smooth for my HP printer thus the paper jammed all the time. When I got HP photo paper I had no trouble.
  
  Please be careful and use the paper designed for your printer.
  
  
  
• good quality paper
  By A1UCK9KDECRZHK on 2005-09-22
  We recently ordered this photo paper to go with our new Cannon Printer. The quality of the photos is great and it wasn't too expensive. Highly recommended for every amateur photographer.
  
  
• Canon Photo paper
  By AI8MTTEVZFNQG on 2006-02-25
  The Canon Photo paper plus works the best with my Canon printer, it's dry immediately, the photos are clear and I won't use anything else. Buying from Amazon.com makes it easy and I don't have to go hunting in stores for it because not everyone carries it.
  
  
• Great product!
  By A1GEP90HC2CP5K on 2006-02-25
  High quality prints at the best price! I've been using Canon Photo Paper Plus Glossy for more than a year and my photos are better than any others I had before!
  
  
• High quality at nice price
  By A1FFKKJYBNSAYM on 2007-03-26
  I have used a number of different photo papers and have found the Canon to be the best for the money. I still buy the el-cheapo store brand (OfficeMax, Staples) for photos I don't really care about (give-aways, etc.) but always use the Canon stuff for nice prints to keep. No tax and free shipping (over $25) at Amazon makes this paper a real winner. The paper isn't "grainy" like the cheap stuff and is indistinguishable from 35mm developed film paper.
  
  
• Great paper, excellent value
  By A9PKYI8B9V9VB on 2007-05-31
  We got this paper for printing vacation photos for our album and to send to family and friends - the ones without the computer and email. Works great every time, has a nice feel to it (provided you just hold it by the edges), and has a very good weight. I tend to like this better than the photo pro paper, which is supposed to be a better quality paper than this, but feels flimsy. I highly recommend the paper plus glossy.
  
  
• Excellent results with Canon printer. Price is fair.
  By A30IGUDWPUPMGZ on 2005-07-28
  I would recommend this glossy photo paper for great looking prints.
  
  
• Great paper for photos
  By A2SZE9777F191V on 2005-08-09
  This paper is great! The quality of the prints from my inkjet printer rival that of my local photo lab. And now I can print them from my own home. I use a Canon printer (Pixma IP3000) and print stunning photos from my digital camera (Sony Cyber-SHot).
  I was somewhat skeptical given that it's not the cheapest paper available - but after printing the first photo I was pleasantly surprised at how good the print was. The paper is heavy and has a nice gloss finish.
  
  If you want quality photos from your printer get this paper!
  
  
• Excellent product
  By A2AX6FWM46HA5Z on 2005-09-03
  
  Everyone makes printer paper. I try to buy the same brand as my printer. My Canon i900D is a superb printer, so I will buy Canon paper. This paper is excellent for digital photography.The price at amazon, given the amount of paper, was also excellent. No complaints.
  
  
• great photos
  By A34MZ9BF2MVTXZ on 2005-09-26
  paper works great with canon printers to produce near photo lab prints. As many experts have stated use same manufacturer's paper & printer for best results. IT'S TRUE!! Also check printer's settings to take full advantage of paper quality
  
  
• Great quality pictures with Canon MP500
  By A3BRP8P1VVH6PX on 2006-02-05
  I have to agree with the other reviewers about this paper when used with a Canon printer. Recently purchased an MP500 (which is a very nice multi-function, BTW). It came with a sample pack of the Photo Paper Plus Glossy. The prints are photo quality. When the sample pack ran out, we tried to use some HP paper we had purchased, but could not get a decent looking print. I decided to stop trying, and buy some more of the Canon paper.
  
  
• Highly recommended
  By A1ADMN7EY9STCO on 2006-09-02
  My experince shows that it is always better to use paper from the same brand as your printer. Then the result is really outstanding print after print. The paper is really top quality and regardless of your needs it will satisfy them. Bravo Canon for this first class product.
  
  
• best price
  By ANAN0XZOW4WKF on 2006-11-04
  you can never go wrong with this paper. I always buy it here, the price in stores is outrageous!
  
  
• Used in Canon printer
  By A2FJ8R3KC8H4Q2 on 2007-02-04
  I have a Canon i6700D photo printer I just got for Christmas. I had read that it was best to use Canon paper in Canon printers so I bought this product. Every photo I have printed out has looked beautiful! People have been amazed. So far, after 1 month, no hint of fading. I have not experienced any smearing issues, either. Can't say whether it's truly better to use Canon paper in Canon printers as I've only used Canon paper so far!
  
  
• The best paper matched to Canon printers
  By A28FRF24ZP50H6 on 2007-03-31
  I've tried several other high end papers, but nothing even comes close to the quality of print this paper has when matched to a Canon printer. They clearly made it to work perfectly with their technology. I don't know how it works on other printers, but on my Canon, it's nearly indistinguishable from a lab processed photo, even smells like one.
  
  
• The only paper for a Canon
  By A1LAGS8H4A2DR7 on 2007-10-01
  These papers match up perfectly with Canon printers and produce photo lab quality prints. I've tried other brands but there is a huge difference. I learned my lesson and will stick to Canon paper. Priced fair if bought in quantities.
