Unfortunately one cannot predict what part of the roll the paper comes from when we buy a box…or 50 boxes. Ink and paper cost is an issue with me as my budget is very meager. The largest books I've made have been letter size and smaller. Since you are using large paper, hopefully curl is not a big issue.

Depending how close to the center of the roll the paper is cut, this will affect the curl. Curl is a big issue with smaller papers that are cut from a large roll. I print extensively with DUO paper making artist's books. Most media produced today makes decent photos. But I would not get too wound up on DMAX. I don't have any of the sets left to reference, they have all been placed. (When I did the books years ago, I should have made Inkjet as one word, but my ancient word processor kept throwing it out!) OP, I have used them all when printing the Encyclopedia of Photographic and Fine Art Ink Jet Printing Media. ISO 9706 conform / museum quality for highest age resistanceĬlaims to have the highest DMAX available Is it really head and shoulders above the rest or just good marketing?Ĭharacteristic, beautiful defined felt structureĭouble-sided, matt premium inkjet coating for outstanding print results So far here is what I have gathered as possible options: I initially wanted glossy but then I realized I have not seen glossy in a book ever so matte or pearl finishes are OK with me. Here are the specifications needed: 17x22 or A2 size availability, double sided - here is a kicker, a good to suberb DMAX. I personally suspect that the new papers are made by Ilford, but I can't find and proof.I am looking for paper recommendations (the application is a 1 off book). If the longevity can match Canon Photo Paper Pro or Platnium, then I could claim this paper is superior than Canon's own paper.īefore someone jump out and point to the link from many many years ago bashing Staples brand paper, I can tell you the new Staples brand paper are clearly different now.

The only thing I can't test is the longevity of the print on this paper. There's sligh color difference compare with Canon Pro II but hardly noticeable. The version before 2008 was made in US, 72LB, smell bad, thiner than Canon Photo Paper Pro II. Print as good as Canon Photo Paper Pro II if not better. The latest version is made in Germany (packaged in US), started in 2008. I have exactly the same question and would like to share my experience with this paper on Canon Pro 9000 MKII for the 13x19 paper (sku 564116)īeware that there are multiple versions of this paper with same SKU number.
