Canon GP-501 Glossy Photo Paper 4x6"/10x15cm (100 Sheets) - Ideal for Photo Printing, Durable Prints - Compatible with Canon Inkjet Printers

I bought this to resurrect an old Canon MP460 printer.Like many of us, I keep taking 'photos' but, for me, they're not really photos until they're printed out.They end up sitting on your hard drive or SD card and over time they are lost or wiped and the memories are gone for ever.So, I decided to start printing out the photos that I knew I wanted to keep.I thought I would purchase original Canon paper as, hopefully, some kind of quality is guaranteed.I'm pleased with the results.They fit the printer well and I haven't experienced any jamming so far.The paper itself is nice quality.Each sheet of 6 x 4 weighed in at 3.06 grammesAn old picture from a commercial print company such as Bonusprint weighs in at 3.69 grammes. So, this paper is slighter lighter, but comparable.The finish is a nice gloss, not quite as glossy as the paper you would have got from a printers, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.It takes the ink well, with no bleeding and is dry instantly.I don't have an awful lot to compare it to, but I'm very happy with this paper, and for the cost of a hundred sheets, I think it's good value.I hope you found this review helpful.

Excellent quality

Good value paper, was pleasantly surprised by the results

This Canon GP 501 photo paper is a game-changer for home printing. The glossy finish brings out the vibrant colors and sharp details in every photo. It's perfect for printing high-quality images, from family portraits to stunning landscapes. The paper is thick and durable, ensuring your prints last for years to come. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to elevate their home printing experience.

This is the paper I use for my photography. The only paper I have used for some time and have used hundreds of sheets of it. I know the results are consistent and I use Canon cameras and a Canon printer so it makes sense to me. I used to use other, cheaper paper but could not be certain of the quality until I ran a batch through. A good general purpose photo paper, not the cheapest but probably value for the quality.In fairness I cannot compare it to other brand leaders but if anyone wants to send me some to try I would enjoy running a comparison test and posting the results. In the mean time I will continue using Canon GP501

As usual you get a good quality print, which lasts well, don't put in direct sunlight!!!Just wish it wasn't so expensive

I've just bought another 100 sheets of this excellent photo paper. I've read whining reviews about this and that fault so I felt compelled to write in support.Listen, you can't just buy any paper and bung it in a printer and expect perfection, you have to do some testing and adjusting.Is your screen accurate for colour representation?Do you have the latest printer driver and is it adjusted?Is your photo edit software up to date and adjusted?Test and adjust until you are satisfied that whatever paper you are using prints as near to your screen as possible.Your setting for one paper is possibly miles away when using a different paper, test and see!!!Finally, I can't say that this paper is the ultimate in quality but I'm more than happy and c'mon, £18 for 100 sheets, unbeatable.I've Canon cameras, Canon printer, proper Canon inks and of course Canon paper. I do not have any problems.

Having a new Canon printer that can print up to A3+, and uses a slightly different type of ink, I decided to try Canon papers instead of my usual Kodak, on the basis that the Canon paper could be better "tuned" to the printer inks than other papers. Having made prints on this GP paper, I compared them to identical ones on "PP" Canon paper, as well as those on Kodak. This GP paper produces sparkling prints that are slightly better than the Kodak ones, but do not have the vibrance of prints from the much higher priced PP range, and are also more red biased. Of course this will all depend on the model of printer used as well, and you can adjust the settings of the printer to match the paper. It is interesting that Kodak seem prepared to give a much higher lifespan of prints on their papers than Canon do, but I doubt I will be around long enough to actually test this! It's a good photo paper for general purpose use, but if you really need high quality results for display prints I would suggest it's worth the extra for the "PP" papers, and if you compare the cost of GP papers against PP ones,(and the Platinum range), it's not surprising that the results are not as good!
