Matte Injet Photo Paper

[samdj1210]

Hi there,

I was just wondering which matted injet paper people used. I just want to frame some of my photos and am stuggling to find some good paper. I have a Canon IP8500 if that helps.

Cheers

Sam

I've had very good luck with the Office Depot house brand. I don't know if you have that on your side of the pond or not. Their black label "professional" paper gives excellent results even in this older hand-me-down HP printer. I use both the matte and glossy.

I use the Canon Matte Paper. It's quite cheap, and works well.

Epson Archival Matt is my favorite and if you can wait for mail order is good value from 7 dayshop (no affiliation just a user).

Canon Matte works best.

My question: who have found a good, not-too-expensive pearl to push through a Canon printer?

I use Epson's Matte Paper Heavyweight, and when using the Epsonsupplied profiles printing from PhotoShop you can get good neutral prints. If you don't use the profile you're going to get prints with a color cast.

At the moment I'm on Arkwright paper because that's what the local shop sells.


Seems fine to me.

For Matte, Canon Matte Paper fits the bill for me. Colour or B&W.

But I only have a IP4000 so your 8500 may show up things mine does not.

I have a Canon Pixma iP6600D, and have used both Canon matte and Epson Heavyweight matte. I am getting much better results with a paper called 60 lb. Polar matte from Red River Papers, http://www.redrivercatalog.com
I believe they sell only online or out of their office, which happens to be near to me. Beautiful stuff. They provide printer profiles and ICC color profiles for each of their papers on their website. A little pricier than the other papers I mentioned, about $20 for 50 sheets, but worth it in my opinion.

Epson's Velvet Fine Art Paper.

Thanks for your help guys, I bought some Canon Matte Photo Paper. Seems to work well. I would be nice if it was a tad thicker.
