Canon A2 Photo Paper Pro Platinum 20 Sheets

After failure to get Epson 13x19 Lustre paper to print in new Canon Pr0200, I ordered Canons equivalent product. Despite improvement cardboard corner guards, one corner on paper was damaged. This has been an ongoing problem.

For anyone starting to print on Canon printers, this is the paper to start with. Almost any image once prepared and suitable for print looks good on this paper. It has a nice ICC profile, a reasonable thickness, dries quick and a great pop with a nice balance of shine without being too glossy. Blacks have room on this paper to express themselves. Bill Atkinsons widely circulated test print came out perfect on it first time, and matched well against my calibrated monitor. In case you are not able to color calibrate your monitor, then turn down its brightness and any special modes on the monitor and view the test print on screen. If possible also best to view in a room with daylight 5400k.

If possible also best to view in a room with daylight 5400k. In the distant past, I printed developed many thousands of prints in the darkroom, personally and commercially, mostly in black and white and obtained a very sensitive appreciation of tonality and detail. I am finding a great joy in returning to making my own prints again, and the full circle experience of it. I am also looking at making my own frames as well. I feel no need to return to film, as the modern technology has advanced so much. Making our own prints makes us better photographers, particularly when expanding our repertoire of paper types, and at least for myself, I find that I am reflecting more when photographing how it will look on print.

I use the Canon 13x19 photo luster paper to proof my fine art prints produced from original paintings. Its great quality paper and works beautifully with my Canon color printer. I highly recommend.
