The 8.5-by-11-inch sheets have a smooth gloss finish (single-sided) and heavy 280 g/m2 density that give it a photo-like feel, while the nanoporous, instant-dry design results in less smudging of your prints. This photo paper has a 99% opacity, with a print life expectancy (dependent upon storage conditions and ink used) of about 10 years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Use This If You Have A Canon Printer, February 18, 2005

By	Marc D. Thomas (Moab, UT United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I use this paper with my Canon i850 printer and Canon's free Easy-PhotoPrint software to print out vibrantly-colored, glossy photos of all my vacations. The key feature is that the paper dries instantly, even the black areas, making them smear-free & easy to store in clear sheet protectors. Just choose "Photo Paper Pro" as your paper when using the Easy-PhotoPrint software & let the printer do the rest. I could never store pictures I printed out on Kodak papers because they never totally dried.

5.0 out of 5 stars No need to buy expensive printer brand papers, November 20, 2004

By	Mike - See all my reviews

I'm sure most of you know that the photo papers from your printer manufactures are rather expensive in comparision to others. I currently use a Canon i9900 printer and the prints I get from Ilford are fantastic. Quality is such a subjective opinion, but to me Ilford's Galerie Smooth Gloss paper is just as good as Canon's but at a lower price.

Another good brand is Fujifilm's Premium Plus. It has sort of a textured look on the surface of the paper, which makes your pictures appear sharper when you are farther away but the texture is noticable if you get real close. It's great for pictures that are hung on the wall because it's sharp even farther away, but for viewing less than an arm's length stay with Ilford's Galarie Smooth Gloss.

There's no need to buy expensive Canon/HP/Epson paper ever again.Just make sure to read the included suggested printer settings for your manufacture.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Paper I Have Ever Used !, January 16, 2004

By	Vince Buber (dearborn heights, michigan United States) - See all my reviews

I have tried all kinds and prices of photo - inkjet paper. This is by far the Best of any I have tried. The gloss is the highest and it is totally - touchable dry before it drops from the printer. Its hard to find. .... If you are into your photos - once you try this - you will buy nothing else.
