Best papers to use with Canon i9900

M. Worthington · 07-30-2006

I can do my own custom color profiles. I'd like to know which papers you use with the Canon i9900. I'm not fond of the Canon Photo Paper Pro. It's too glossy and too expensive.

I have had successful results using Red River Polar Gloss and Polar Satin paers on a Canon i960 (which is similar to your unit)

The Ilford line of papers is wonderful. I use the Classic Pearl a lot. They just don't make anything smaller than 8x10 that I've been able to find locally.

If you want to go cheaper, the Red River paper OHenry mentioned is good stuff. I'd look at getting their printer profiles form their website too.

Never tried Epson paper in a Canon. Too costly for me to try,a nd figure the profile thing would waste about half of whatever I bought.

M. Worthington · 07-30-2006

I"ve used Red River. Thanks. I was hoping to find other recommendations, too. Ilford keeps cropping up. Any others?

How about a nice matte paper?

The Kodak matte selection ain't bad, but I've never run it through a Canon printer. With our HP-All-In-One (3200 Photosmart) it gives this unique, subdued look to the images. Not nearly as nice as any of the higher-end matte papers, but it was cheap and fun to fiddle with for me.

I hear you on the Canon photo papers though. Absolute crap.

Where do you buy Ilford, preferably?

ianacole · 08-04-2006

I get mine at Wolf Camera. The generally have a variety of Ilford papers.

Believe it or not, the Kirkland brand (Costco) is a very good hyeavyweight gloss and works very well in my Epson. Fast drying and cheap. $18.00 for 125 sheets 8.5X11.
