Non-Canon photo papers for PIXMA iP8500?
I just purchased a Canon PIXMA iP8500.
Does anyone have any experience using inkjet photo papers other than Canon brand in this or a similar printer? For example, Kodak papers or store brands like Office Max photo paper? I have found the Canon-brand papers to be more expensive with less variety than, say, HP. I do have some HP glossy Brochure and Flyer paper lying around, but I just can't get acceptable results with it on the Canon. Help, Anyone? |
I have a canon i960 (six color photo printer) and have had beautiful results
with Costco Kirkland photo glossy paper, 125 sheets @ $19. Epson glossy photo paper does well with canon inks as well, and the Epson matte double sided paper is quite good for greeting cards or anything else you want to print double sided. The back side of the costco paper will not take ink at all. The epson glossy photo paper has a very faint logo printed in a repeat pattern on the back, non-glossy side. You can print both sides of this paper and the logo printed on the back is so faint that most people don't notice it. I have not liked Kodak paper for my Epson printer or the canon i960, and there is no need for me to even consider it as the papers I have mentioned above satisfy my printing needs.

I have tried Canon Photo Paper Pro, Surething, and Office Depot paper
printing the same professional photograph supplied by Adobe. Office Depot was ok. Surething was good but the Canon Photo Paper Pro was just superb. The Canon paper was like glass and the Surething should some texture. I also have but have not tried Costco Kirkland Glossy photo paper. I have not spent any effort on determining who makes it but it is made in Switzerland and Ilford has a plant there as well. It may be Ilford Gallerie Paper. I hear it is good. I also heard that people are having trouble with Kodak paper when using Canon printers. tomviolin wrote: I just purchased a Canon PIXMA iP8500.

People with Canon printers have also used Costco/Kirkland made in Switzerland glossy. That may be made by Ilford also located in Switzerland for some of its production. I have found the Canon-brand papers to be more expensive with less variety than, say, HP. While expensive, Canon Photo Paper Pro is the best I have seen so far.
