Photo paper substitute Canon Pro?
I am also looking for something cheaper but haven't been able to find it. I
have tried cheaper paper that doesn't work. Maybe Canon figured out how to make us buy only their paper. If anyone finds an equivalent paper please post what it is. "Arthurm" wrote in message ... I have the I950 and the Canon paper pro is great. I was wondering if there was one as good but not so pricey. I was hoping maybe they produced it under another name or some thing. Thanks. |

I recommend Olympus Pictorico Photo Gallery Paper and red river papers. Not sure if they are cheaper than pr-101 though. Wayne |

Wayne have you use Red River paper on a Canon i950? I just went to their web
site and the price for their Ultra Pro Paper is very reasonable. If it works as well as the Canon Paper Pro they have a new customer. "Wayne" wrote in message m... "Arthurm" wrote in message .. .

For me it is much better than Kodak papers. I ordered it from their internet site and received prompt delivery. I need to order more of their 4x6.5 UntraPro Gloss paper soon. This paper comes with a tear off 1/2 inch tab and works very well for borderless prints. You might also want to order their Photographers Sample Kit which includes 8.5x11 inch sample sheets of their various papers. |

Is the "polar" that much better than the "ultra pro" to warrant the price
difference? I am particularly interested in the UltraPro Satin or the Polar Satin if it is worth the extra cost. "rs1011117" wrote in message thlink.net... "BF" wrote in message ...

I started this thread and have just ordered the sample kit from them today. Worth a shot expecially from the response here. Red river papers are great but you might also want to try OLYMPUS papers (they are the same if not better than Canon's pr-101 - the colours on Olympus Pictorico papers are kinda more vibrant and vivid than on pr-101) - just order a sample pack and you won't regret it.

Thanks Ron, based on your reply I just ordered some Ultra Pro Satin from Red
River. I was using some "Photo Quality Silky Ink Jet Paper" that I got at a local computer show (www.paper4you.com) which is excellent but they only sell it 15pcs for $15. So I am hoping that Satin is the same as silky. I haven't seen it mentioned here but I have had great luck with IBM "Professional Grade Ultimate Glossy Photo Paper" that I buy at Best Buy for my Canon i850 at about half the cost of Canon Pro (when buying a 50 pack). Other than it being a slight bit heavier, I can't tell any difference. The Ultra Pro Satin is outstanding. Is the "polar" that much better than the "ultra pro" to warrant the price difference? I am particularly interested in the UltraPro Satin or the Polar Satin if it is worth the extra cost. |
