Don't use plain paper - Review written on May 25, 2004

I just got my Canon i550 printer. I printed out a photo on plain paper, and the quality is very bad. I was so disappointed. I started to doubt people's praises on the Canon printer. Then I bought the Cannon Photo Paper Plus Glossy, and was stunned at the printed result. It's dark room development quality. So I guess it's the combination of the printer and the paper that makes it look good.
Price: 50 cents/page + ink = less than $1/page. The price for 8x10 development on ofoto.com (a Kodak's company) is four times more expensive at $3.99.
Quality: Stunning
Dimension: I don't know why 8.5x11 has become the standard for photo printing. Most frames out there are 8x10. Do I suppose to trim the printout myself?
Borderless: it's almost borderless, but my printer gave me a border of 1/16 inch on the top and right of the paper. I used the A4 size on Canon Photo Print application.
Lab-quality prints - Review written on December 29, 2003

I have a Canon S300 printer - basically a 2-year-old, fifty dollar printer - and with this paper I get lab quality prints. I can print my 2 megapixel photos at 8x10 size.
With the cost of this paper ($0.50/sheet) plus the ink ($0.50/sheet) coming to $1/sheet, that's not bad for an 8x10. Go for it an impress your grandma.
