Avg. Customer Review: 
Great paper for a great price
I use this paper with my Canon printer. It is so reasonably priced that I use it to "proof" prints before printing on a more expensive glossy paper. It gives good color depth and fidelity. The color fidelity is good enough to use it for a final print or as a preview paper. Highlights and shadows are good. I haven't had the prints exposed long enough to see how color fast they are. I have had problems with some of the Canon color papers when it comes to color durability whent the prints were exposed to light and L.A. "air" (smog) for even short periods of time. The particular problem was with blacks degrading over a period of only a few monthes with their Canon Photo Paper Plus glossy paper. Plain copy paper prints held up fine but I want to test this matte paper in the same conditions. If you can't hang your pictures on your refrigerator with magnets, what else is left in life? Canon only tests for colorfast under glass and carefully evades quesions about exposed prints like the plague. (4 emails to Canon Tech Dept....evaded answering my question specifically times 4)
 A Happy Spud
I bought several packages of this paper from Amazon for a good price. Using my new Canon Multipass 730, I reprinted photos previously printed on my HP 930 printer . The difference in quality and color rendition was dramatic. I actually prefer this paper to the glossy especially with the big price differential. Give this paper a shot.
 Has the 4"x6" glossy just set my expectations too high?
Being a fan of both matte finish paper (in film-to-print type photos) and Canon's 4"x6" glossy, I was very happy to see this item. The first thing I noticed was that it was of a noticeably lighter weight than the 4"x6" glossy. Okay, so no fun-with-two-sided-tape, but most people don't use photos as virtual wallpaper, so I'm thinking that the weight isn't much of a problem for most people. I mean, once you put the photo in a frame, you are not going to be able to tell how sturdy it feels.More importantly, the prints produced seem more akin to resume paper printouts than photographs. This surprised me after falling completely in love with both my Canon printer and the other non-pro Canon photo paper offering. My (unsolicited) suggestion? Go with the 8"x10" glossy pro paper. It's only a couple of dollars more and, yes, I know, not matte, but if someone stuck a piece of white bond paper in my pack of this stuff, I may never know the difference.
