I'm wondering what experiences people have using various photo papers in the
ip4200. Fuji Photo Plus is availeable locally to me quite a bit cheaper than
Canon's paper. Anyone's experience is welcome, please do tell!

I also would like to know if there are any archival inks availeable for this
printer to rival Canon's own. It's looking to me like Epson really has the
best refill inks availeable for it but sadly I bought before I read. Also,
I'm interested in Canadian ink suppliers if anyone knows of any good ones.

Thanks everyone.

I do not like the Canon paper. Others have also experienced color
shift problems with it. I like the Epson Premium Glossy Paper for my
IP4200. If you are looking for longevity I hear that the swellable
polymer papers are better than the microporous paper. The Epson
pigment inks have better longevity than the dye inks, but do not have
the same color gamut. For longevity the Canon Chroma Life 100 beats
all the aftermarket inks that I have tried by at least a factor of 20.
Color pigment inks do not work in the Canon printers.

Costco/Kirkland Full Sheet Photo Glossy (may be Ilford) does almost as
good as Canon Photo Paper Pro for about 125 8.5x11 sheets for $18.95.

Absolutely non that will last as long, look as good and will not clog
your printer.

Only if you want to clog the Epson.

Stick with Canon ink. Also I saw Ilford Gallerie Pearl on an Epson and
it looks great. It is not a matte but does have a low lustre glow to
it. I think is would also look good with Canon ink.
