Has anyone used Office Depot Premium Glossy paper with the Canon i860 printer?
Is the result as good as using Canon glossy paper?

All replies welcomed! Aaron in N. Hollywood

Aaron,

Not with a Canon i860, but with a Canon S900 . . . same difference.

Having tried pretty much ALL of the paper options in an effort to save
a few bucks. Kodak came out the very worst, to the point of being
totally unusable! So when OD announced their 2-for1 sale, being a bit
skeptical, I tried a single package. The results were so good that I
went back and bought another 800 sheets of the stuff; cleaning out the
entire stock of two OD stores in the process! :-)

Although it is not quite up to the quality of the ultra expensive
Canon Photo Pro, it ranks as a close second best. Colour rendition was
perfect . . . virtually identical to Canon Photo Pro. The only
difference I observed, was that unlike Canon Photo Pro, with it's
ultra flawless glassy surface, OD evidenced an ever-so-insignificant
surface ripple effect.

Without doubt, no manufacturer has ever been able to approach the
excellence of Canon Photo Paper Pro. But beyond those photos that
demand the VERY best, OD paper is definitely a valid second option.

I use their 8.5x11 paper with my Canon i850 and get great results.

It's very good, much better than I would have thought for the price
difference. Granted it's not quite as good as Canon Photo Pro paper, but
it's more than good enough for my regular printing needs.

The resolution and detail is the same. Colour rendition is virtually
identical. The dry prints are essentially waterproof. And under glass or
in a photo album, they don't fade or change colour.

I wouldn't be surprised if Canon and OD use the same supplier. :)
 
'Bill',

I am making notes for when I get my printer. What does OD stand for?

Thanks,

Office Depot.

Their Premium Glossy photo paper is great for Canon printers.
 
I like Red River Ultra Gloss Pro. It is very close to Canon Paper Pro.
At under $.40 per sheet it is very good.
 
Hi Bill: thank's for your super quick reply saying Office Depot (OD)
glossy is as good as Canon paper. best, Aaron
