If you owe one of those new and cool wireless HP vivera foto printers like C4599 then you will love this paper over Kodak paper. It dries fast, it comes out great quality and its fairly cheaper then elsewhere.
Canon claims that the colors won't fade for 20 years, guaranteed. I should note that I used the paper with a Canon photo printer loaded with Canon ink cartridges. I can't verify the claim because the oldest pictures I printed on Canon's paper are probably 5-6 years old but those look as fresh today as they did the day I printed them. None of them were exposed to direct sunlight for any significant amount of time but some of them have been sitting in my office for that many years, under constant fluorescent light (framed and under glass) and they continue to look great, 5 years later. Canon's original ink cartridges are expensive on a 'per photo' basis and the paper isn't a bargain either but I am more than pleased with the end-results. I will continue to use Canon paper in the future.
Photo paper seems to be expensive. The pictures I've made at home are just as nice as the ones I've printed at the drugstore kiosk. Perhaps it's more expensive to print at home, I haven't calculated the cost yet. It is fun though. Purely from an artistic viewpoint, this paper works great.
These photo paper make print pictures like a professional, I will sure be buying these again.
and I've been really happy with this specific purchase of Canon Photo Paper Plus Glossy II, 5 x 7 inches, 20 Sheets (2311B024) paper. I figure Canon makes the printer, the ink, and the paper, so they MUST test all three of those together, and that combination should produce good results. I have a Canon PIXMA iP6220D Photo Printer and use Canon Paper for all my photo printing (usually 4x6 or 5x7, but some 8x10 too). Results from my setup look like they came from the local photo processing store. AND, I can say that it does. Photo paper is usually pricey in the local stores, so I buy mine online (Amazon). The paper is packaged nicely, protected in a nice box, with cardboard inserts on each side of the paper deck, in a resealable plastic bag. I recommend keeping the paper in the sealed plastic and in the box while it's on your shelf waiting for use.
