Canon PP-201 Glossy II Photo Paper Plus A3 (20 Sheets) - Ideal for Photo Printing, A3 Size - Durable Prints, Instant Touch-Dry, Professional Quality - Compatible with Canon A3 Inket Printers

I'd been a little hesitant to purchase this paper as it's not cheap when considering some of the alternatives (less-known brands) available on amazon. The course I'm studying at university demands frequent prints and print shops are ridiculously expensive so I decided to take a chance as printing from home is always going to be cheaper, but I also needed the promised quality the other reviewers spoke of - I'm so glad I went with it! I'd ordered the paper Friday 11am and it arrived Saturday 10am! The pages I have printed simply glorify the image, colours appear vibrant where other paper would dull them or throw them into ridiculous levels of contrast whilst simultaneously not binding properly with the ink (I had encountered this problem with the Kodak glossy paper but this could be due to the fact that I use a Canon printer - Pixma iX6550 - and Canon ink.) It feels like a 'professional' print though not as pricey - printing shops in London would charge me on avg. £10/page for the same quality! I'm so excited to have come across it and I'd definitely recommend it. Having said all the above, and following further research, this paper costs either as much as the generally known brands, if not less.

I buy this paper to go with my Canon Pixma Pro 100 Printer and between the Camera and the Printer I cannot fault the prints i'm getting on the paper. If you have a Canon Printer, then stick with Canon paper, its that simple. The paper is made for the job and another good point is, the same paper is double the price with other sellers on Amazon with postage but Amazon itself is half the price with free postage. So look no further and buy it from Amazon if this is the paper you require. 10/10I had to order 2 more sets of these cause there that good just incase the price goes up...If you need great photo glossy paper, LOOK NO FURTHER!!!!!!!!!

Only gave 4 stars as it is in the expensive side, however from a performance point of view it is definitely noticeably better are colour matching and brightness / saturation that using other high quality papers on my Canon Pixma pro 100

Good quality paper. Bought this to use with my Canon printer. It has a white glossy surface which appears to give a sharp printout. I bought this paper for its longevity. This paper as long as it is used with original Canon inks is supposed to give a longer life before fading so it will be interesting to see if this is correct. Obviously all papers tend to fade if in direct sunlight so will place it on a shaded wall to see if it lasts. This is cheaper than ordering directly from Canon especially for prime members as there is no postage to pay for delivery.

I have always used Canon printers, and recently bought an IX6550 to relace a worn out IP one. Having the ability to print A3+ prints is a different ball game, in that you need to be rather fussier with the choice of papers. I decided to go with Canon papers, having previously used Kodak, and initial tests with GP papers (A4) gave good results, although slightly biased towards red. I got these A3 papers and then compared an A4 "GP print" to an A3 one on this PP paper, there is no camparison at all! The colour rendition is perfect, and the detail available is much more clearly defined. The results were so good that I promptly framed it and hung it on the wall, where it gets many admiring comments, not alas for my photographic skills but for the amazing colours and vibrance. This paper is obviously "tuned" to the type of inks used in the larger format printers, (and probably more modern A4 ones as well), I can see that the difference in quality in "PP" papers is well worth the extra expenditure over slightly cheaper Canon ones like the "GP" range, and the print results on the "GP" papers is dead equal to the Kodak ones. I for one will not be using any other paper type in future, unless I try the even dearer Platinum range to see if there is any difference. You spend a fortune on your cameras and lenses, don't ruin the results with cheap printer paper! The only problem can be with the cost, be careful as the P&P may well be very expensive, (paper is heavy), and some of Amazon's partners overcharge even the paper price, let alone the P&P, try the Canon UK webite for a comparison.

A3 photo paper does the job for me

I use a goodly number of A3 size glossy premium Photo paper mainly for upsizing images from smaller forms, both actual camera images as well as reproductions and I fouind that this Canon product was all I could wish for. The finished results brought forth a succession of gratifying compliments from viewers. As with all Canon products that I use, this Photo Paper is fully up to the standard expected and I have no hesitation in recommending it.

Gives the most awesome reliable results on my A3 Pixma printer. Sure, you might get acceptable results on other papers, dependent on the colour content or contrast in monochrome images, but not with certainty and frequency. Can you throw away valuable ink attempting to get the results from them? I'll pay that extra to be confident in the end print success.
