I have a Canon pro 100 printer and have been using their 13x19 semi-gloss paper with results that I'm usually happy with.
I just tried Canon Pro Platinum paper on a landscape scene with a pond as central object and was really impressed with the appearance.
My question to other Hoggers is what types of photos would you use the Pro Platinum and also same question about the semi-gloss paper.
Pro Platinum is a high gloss paper, which can add a bit of depth to a photograph. It is also thicker stock than other Canon papers.
I personally print borderless 13x19-inch on Canon Pro Luster (semi-glass) paper, and mount behind glass, which provides the same glossy effect as Pro Platinum, and provides surface protection.

Thanks for the input, I also usually frame my prints behind glass. I'll keep experimenting with the Pro Platinum paper on different types of photos.

As a newbie to mounting pictures, how do you mount a borderless print behind glass? I hope I am not highjacking this topic because I also have a Cannon Pro 100.

I make borderless 13x19-inch prints, then buy Aaron Brothers frames with glass (during their 1-cent second frame sale = basically 2 for 1 pricing). I use thin black or brown frames, depending on subject color. Here is John Ratzenberger (of Cheers TV program) with one of the two mounted prints that he purchased. Sorry about reflection off of glass.
Thank you. The picture tells it all.
