Heavyweight and beautiful! Best photo paper I have ever used! Stunning sharpness and vivid color from my Canon Pro9000 printer!

This Pro Photo Paper is the best I have ever used. I have a lot to do with photography and the pictures I print on this paper to use in my portfolio is amazing. There is no finer photo paper!! If you want the best looking pictures this is hands down the best paper to show off your work, or just to have photos hanging around on your walls.

I've been using Canon paper exclusively for several years ... pretty much a consistent amount, consistent pattern of usage. Never had anything but PERFECT results; I've encouraged everyone I know to stick with Canon. BUT... it's all been the paper in the red-and-white packaging. I've used several KINDS of paper, too ... Photo Paper Pro, Photo Paper Plus, both glossy and matte, different sizes.

I recently got my first supply of the new "Pro Platinum" in the black sleeve. As with all Canon paper, the print is superlative. But after a few days in the printer's input tray, the paper curled up SO badly that I cannot even use it. I don't believe it's a humidity problem ... this is the same office and the same environment that literally THOUSANDS of other sheets of Canon paper have survived without any problem, whatsoever.

I have used several different Canon photo papers during the years that I have had my Canon Pixima MP510, always looking for what seemed to be the best value considering both price and quality of the prints. I will be looking no longer. The first thing I noticed when the paper arrived was how heavy the packages of 20 sheets were compared with the other papers I have used. The weight difference was confirmed when I looked at a package of Canon Photo Paper Plus, the paper I have been using. According to the information on the package the weight of the Photo Plus paper is 69 pounds whereas the weight on this paper, the Canon Pro Platinum paper, is 80 pounds.

Not being sure what weight difference contributed to the quality of a print, I did a Google search fir information, learning that: "Thicker papers hold up well when there is heavy ink coverage. For full color photos from your desktop, thicker inkjet photo papers are best."

My Canon printer handled the heavier paper without difficulty and I would expect other Canon inkjet printers to do the same.

Also, "heavier, thicker papers feel more substantial and can lend visual weight to a project".

The main test, of course, is how the prints look, and on that score, I could not be more satisfied. I am also pleasantly surprised at how fast the ink seems to dry on this paper, giving the print a finished look almost immediately.

I'll never go to a photo lab again. Printing on this paper produces nice sharp colorful glossy images. I'm using this paper with a Canon Pixma Pro9000 MkII printer and the results are much better than any glossy prints ordered from a photo lab. The blacks are super-black, and the colors are vibrant. I've also ordered the 19x13 and 4x6 Pro Platinum paper and the quality is very consistent. I haven't used this paper with any other printers yet, but I can tell you that if you have a decent quality printer, you will love printing to this paper.

I've tried many of Canon's photo paper (from glossy to matte). This is the best beyond a doubt. Superior quality. Very clear with excellent contrast. So far colors haven't bled or even slightly smudged. Truly professional photo paper that will make your photos look incredible. Highly recommend.

I am using an Epson 1800. This is one of the best papers I have used including Epson's high end papers. The color reproduction is excellent. Crisp images with no noticeable bleeding. Very pleased with the quality of this product. I often have found it on lighting deals.

I was skeptical about buying top end photo paper. I had gotten some cheap glossy paper ( Kodak ) 3 stars and my pictures were coming out terrible, blurry, and the colors were off. I thought I had gotten a bad printer, or perhaps I wasnt fine tuning my pictures for the best print. Nope, it was all about the paper. I have a Canon printer and saw this paper. I was shocked at how expensive it seemed but I said I had some very precious images to print and lets see how it goes. I could not be more happy. As I said in the title, you go from simply printing photos to developing them. They turn into works of art, the color, the quality, its all enhanced by this paper. I love it and I would highly recommend it. Especially if you are doing a special photo print.

This is another excellent product from Canon. It produces vibrant color and excellent results. I have used this product printing on a Canon Pro9000MkII printer and it has met all of my expectations. Amazon provides best prices on this product and as always fast service.

Not a bad product. I'm using the PRO 9000 and also used Kodak Ultra and really don't see much difference. I'm giving this a 4 out of 5 because it does perform well, providing very good color contract and color absorbtion.
While the Kodak is about the same any easy to find locally, I will be staying with the Canon to keep continuity.
