To make home printing a viable option, the prices of consumables must come right down. The manufacturers are ripping us off. Period.


Nothing but quality   August 30, 2005

I have been lucky enough to own the Canon PIXMA iP5000 printer and the famous digital IXUS 500 compact camera. As the result, I have been trying and testing a wide range of photo papers in the market in order to take full advantage of my personal 'photo lab'. This is by far the best product I've come across, with uncompromising yet unassuming finish plus vivid colour reproduction. Yes, it is a bit expensive, but worth every penny.

I've used this paper for about 9 months now, and have always found it to be top quality (especially when coupled with the Canon i856 photo inkjet printer).

Very clean colours, crisp separation, no fading or bleeding, plus a semi-mirror finish.

It's a bit pricey, but the results easily equal or better those of the high-street photo shops. Proceed without caution if you're looking for a top quality print (without walking to the high street !).

This is the best paper I have ever used. Used with the appropriate Canon printer it is capable of stunning results with its mirror like finish and solid feel. The best.


photo paper perfection   May 3, 2004

I use a digital camera, copying all of my photos onto my computer. However, there are some photos that I just want to have a copy of in reality. My printer came with a free sample of this photo paper and I've been buying them from Amazon ever since.
The paper itself looks and feels exactly like the stuff your photos are printed on from a pharmacy, and provided your printer is good enough, you get perfect prints every time. Borderless photo paper is preferable in my opinion, and it means that these photos look really professional and are indistinguishable from professionally developed ones. The ink dries instantly on the paper, so smudging is not a worry and they have a nice glossy feel even after printing on them.

The price is great, and Amazon sell it for the lowest price that I could find and trust. For your money you get 20 sheets, which isn't a huge amount, but it is unlikely that you'll print every photo you take, otherwise there is no point in having a digital camera.

If you're looking to print out certain photos that you want a hard copy of, these are ideal. They look and feel professional, and at 35p per photo, you're saving a great deal of money should you chose to get them printed at a shop.
