Canon Borderless Photo Paper Pro 8.5x11, 30 Sheets (1029A028) – Customer Reviews
Extra features of this special paper
-
I'm a professional photographer, so image quality is important to me.
A Canon Product Specialist was hanging out at CompUSA.She informed me of some special features of this paper.I brought with me a sample photo printed on non-Canon paper on my beloved Canon i9900 8-cartridge printer.She noticed some smears on the photo where I had touched it before it dried.She said the Canon paper won't do that.She printed a sample on Canon Photo Paper Plus.As it came out of the printer she rubbed her fingers on the image.No smear.It seems the Canon paper has a protective clear coat on the front.The ink penetrates it, then evaporates mostly through the *back* of the paper.Try this experiment:Print a richly colored image on this paper.As soon as the printing is done, feel the temperature of the front vs. the back of the printout.The back side is noticeably cooler.That's where the ink volatiles are going.
I use only Photo Paper Pro.It is thicker than Plus, but otherwise seems the same.Same clarity and vibrant colors.And I suspect it is best for images you wish to hang onto for a long time.
There is a deep technical symbiosis between the advanced Canon printers and their special papers.I am amazed at the level of this technology.8/3/2006 12:00 AM | Rating:
Good if you have a Canon Printer

Hi ALL
I am very pleased with the prints from this paper. But I believe that a lot of that is because I own a Canon Printer. My printer has custom profile from Canon made specifially for this paper. I have noticed that when I use paper from other companies the prints are not quite as good and I believe that is because I do not have a profile that specific paper.3/25/2006 12:00 AM | Rating:

CANON PHOTO PAPER PRO IS THE BEST OEM PAPER SUPPLIED BY CANON.A MATTE FINISH CAN SOMETIMES BE NICE BUT THIS PAPER WILL NEVER DISSAPOINT YOU.-JEREMY (CANON PIXMA IP6600D)

I have only had one photo printer - a Canon i850, so my experience is limited.Generic inks don't work (gum up the machine), so I've stuck with name brand for the paper as well (wasn't impressed with a few sheets of Kodak paper that I used).Other printer/paper combinations may be better, but I don't have the time (or money) to explore, and have been very satisfied with Canon for both hardware and paper.Now for color calibration between my computer screen and printer output....

This paper is one of the best on the market. Colors come out with eye catching clarity and brilliance. Mid-tones are vivid and blacks are black. Would recomend it for anyone who demands quality prints.
Weakness is the price, but if you expect quality, you will pay for it.Would definately buy again!2/11/2006 12:00 AM | Rating:
