I don't pretend to understand exactly why, but I have tried epson, hp, the local no-name brands, and this canon paper for my canon pixma printer. With no fidgeting, no adjustments other than telling the printer what paper it's feeding, this paper produces amazing results. The other brands do not work with my pixma printer... in fact, other than moderately acceptable results with epson paper, they produced unsatisfactory results. This is the paper to use for your canon printer. As I said, I don't pretend to know why, I just know that I've wasted enough time and money messing with the other papers to have bought a years supply of this paper which would have kept me happy on every print.

~:~ CANON COMPUTER SYSTEMS CCSI ~:~ Glossy Photo Paper, 4 x 6, 100 Sheets per Pack I was delighted today with my purchase not only for its price but also for its quality. You will not go wrong in choosing this item for your camera work

I have been using the Canon Glossy Photo paper for over 1 year now, and I love the way my photos I print look. They look as good as if I had them done at a commercial store. I definately will continue getting this paper for my photo printer.

It's photo paper. Price is right and the quality is good. The printer is more important. Canon makes great printers!

I have used this paper for several years and I love it. The quality of the printed pictures is excellent and none of them have ever faded or anything. The sheets go through a copier with ease also. I highly recommend the Canon Photo Paper Glossy.
