I am looking for a paper that I can use with my Canon Pixma Pro9000 that would have a similar look / feel(perhaps even heavier) to Costco's Lustre prints.

I notice Canon doesn't have a paper labeled 'Lustre' but they do have a semi-gloss & a satin. Would either of these be similar to Costco's lustre?

I am willing to try non-Canon paper if there are good ICC profiles available for it and my printer.

Canon's satin is very close to lustre paper and comes in various weights.
190gsm,240 gsm, and heavyweight 300 gsm.

I would have a look at the Ilford Galerie series of papers. I use this pretty much all the time. They provide profiles for most of the popular printers. I'm not familiar with Costco's printing but one of their pearl papers would probably come close.


My life is like one big RAW file....way too much post processing needed.
