Brightness and Optical Brightening Agentsīrightness quantifies the amount of incident light the paper will reflect. To be honest, after spending a lot of time looking at the various qualities of various papers, at least to the extent I can, I’m not at all any more clear on what Canon’s logic is with their papers. However, looking at things like weight, surface texture, image quality, and so forth, it’s not entirely clear that at least some overlap in the Plus and Pro lines. The best I can work out, is that Canon’s paper matrix looks something like the above chart. If you go on price, the difference might not be so much? If you go on the names, you’d suppose that one should be better than the other. ![]() On the other hand, if you look at the pricing many of the Plus and Pro papers are priced identically or nearly identically.įor example, Canon’s two semi-gloss papers are the Photo Paper Plus Semi-Gloss, that lists for $99.99 for 50 A3+ sheets the other is Photo Paper Pro Luster, and it lists too for $99.99 per 50 A3+ sheets. The names of their papers indicate there are at least 3 distinct non-fine art lines: Photo Paper, Photo Paper Plus, and Photo Paper Pro. The Plus Semi-Gloss is one, the other is the Photo Paper Pro Luster.Ĭanon’s matrix of photo papers is, quite honestly, confusing. At the same time, it didn’t knock my socks off so much that I needed to order box instead of trying something else.įortunately, Canon offers two verities of semi-gloss papers. After having made a dozen or so prints on in, it’s not a bad paper. I already tried, and spoke briefly about, Canon’s Photo Paper Plus Semi-Gloss. Solving the surface reflection issue is a matter of moving to a more matte surface. It’s also relatively expensive for a mid-level paper, at just under $3 for a 13 x 19 print. The biggest of those are that it reflects everything in perfect detail. However, being a gloss paper, it does have some limitations. ![]() It’s a gloss paper that I find generally works quite well for reproducing color and detail at the level at which I’m printing. In the past, my mainstay paper has been Canon’s Photo Paper Pro Platinum.
