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). 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. AND, I can say that it does! Photo paper is usually pricey in the local stores, so I buy mine online (Amazon!) 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. Results from my setup look like they came from the local photo processing store. 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.

It's hard to review photo paper since one of the key qualities is how prints will hold up over time. I of course can't vouch for that. But using this paper with my Canon Pixma MX850 printer produces just stunning images. Colors jump off the page, lines are razor crisp, no smudging and no wasted paper due to paper jams or misfeeds. The best Amazon vendor is offering 20 pages of 5 x 7 Canon Plus Glossy II for about $6.50, and even better 100 pages of 4 x 6 for around $7.50 all with free delivery. So for not much more than sending it away professionally I'm now making lab-quality prints at home which I get to tweak for contrast, color saturation, etc, just how I want them. Totally worth it to me. I'm very pleased with the results.

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.

I bought this paper for my Canon MP970 after printing photos on HP glossy photo paper and another brand of glossy photo paper that claims to work on all models of printers. The results on those papers were disappointing.
After a little bit of searching, I realized that the best price anywhere for 5 x 7 inch glossy photo paper was right here on Amazon. Photos I've printed on the Canon paper are stunning, as good as pictures sent out to be printed. Color and clarity are crisp and the ink didn't smear. The ink dried quickly.
I'm always trying different types of paper, but have never found any brand that works as well on my Pixma printer as genuine Canon paper.
I've also received good results on Canon's matte photo paper, but I like the Glossy II paper a little more.
When using specialty sized paper, I find it easier to use the rear tray rather than the cassette.

Very satisfied with the output so far using a Canon PIXMA MP560.

The printer driver has the correct built-in color profile for this paper, which can make a big difference to output quality.
