I am planning to buy a Canon ip4200 but I wonder what Canon paper is the best in terms of color for photo printing. Th ematte paper, for instance is way cheaper than glossy, is the color difference worth it?

Feb 18, 2006 09:55 | #2 The way I understand it: Canon Printer - Canon Paper - Canon Ink. This will give you the best results. Works best for me. I've read that each manufacturer formulates their paper and inks to work together with their printers. 7D MKII ■ 10-22 ■ 15-85 ■ 28-135 ■ Σ 50-150 ■ 70-200 f4L ■ 100-400L ■ 580EX II

I have only been using Photo Paper Pro in my i9900 and i900D, but I am considering trying something else for Matte finish. I will keep an eye on this thread. "If you're not living on the edge. You're taking up too much room !"

I feel silly paying an internet retailer to ship paper because it seems like this might offset the higher cost of the Canon paper.

Canon 7D, Canon 40D
