Canon Pixma Pro-100 paper questions
Nov 11, 2015 13:22:25 #
I have the Pro-100 and use HP papers that I had to use with my previous HP photo printer. It does really well with the 4x6, 5x7, and 8x10. I haven't worked up to trying the 13x19 Canon papers yet, but soon will.

Try a Canon 13 x 19 digital art paper variety pack. It works great for me.
The 13 x 19 will cost you about a buck any where.
Canon is great photo paper but I been using Red River Paper for over a year and I love it. I use over 1000 sheets a year.
I'm wanting to try RRP's 13 x 19 Photo Metallic Inkjet Papers ( http://www.redrivercatalog.com/browse/index.htm ) I'v used a lot of 8.5 x 11 in my photo business and what it looks like. We can tell you whats good but you have to try it and see what you like. 5 years ago I started buying printers and photo paper on ebay and still do. I buy photo paper Canon, HP, and Epson in that order. I order RRP on line.
Heres one I just got in and makes nice prints.

For price, Canon has their own paper and ink sales site. Paper can show up with huge discounts. Last week you got two packs for free if you bought just one pack of 13x19. 3 packs for the price of 1 is not bad. I think paper has a long shelf life so I stocked up!

I stocked up last year on the Canon buy one get two free. Wait and see if they offer that again this year. If I am correct, last years offer occurred in the late fall or close to Christmas.

Look, Canon makes a great paper but they all have a magenta cast. If you are looking for more accurate color don't limit yourself to Canon. Try Ilford.

I buy my paper from Amazon, they have all the standard sizes - 4x6, 5x7, 8x10 etc. At first you might want to stick to Canon papers since your printer is profiled for Canon papers for best color fidelity. You can of course use any brand of photo paper, most should give you good results. I have heard a lot of good things about Red River papers but have never used them. Red River offers a lot of specialty and custom papers, can recommend their best papers for your printer and have downloadable paper profiles to optimize results for your printer and their papers.
