Canon Pro Paper Samples Pack 8657B012

I just got the Canon Pixma iP8720 Printer and it came with a high-gloss sample pack (Photo Paper Plus Glossy II - 3 photo papers 8.5x11 ). I also purchased this Sample Pack to try out the Semi-Gloss, Luster, Platinum, and Premium Matte. Here are my thoughts on this pack and the printer sample, and ordered from most favorite to least favorite (I printed a high contrast, very colorful image of blown glass art on each of these papers to determine my ratings/comparison): 1. Luster - This photo paper looks similar to the Semi-Gloss at face value, but it also seems to have a rougher texture, more like the matte. I really like this because it doesn't get a huge, bright glare in bright light, but enough to make it still look dynamic. Overall, a very high quality glossy paper while still maintaining texture. 2. Pro Platinum - This paper has a high gloss finish, but looks very clean, and seemed reflective than the Glossy II, which I like. A great paper if you want that super glossy look. The colors from my photo look incredible on this paper. 3. Premium Matte - I actually really love the look of this matte. For being matte, the colors and sharpness still look very, very good. Not quite as good as the glossy papers, but it still is a great color quality. I found it impressive that the colors look almost the same as the glossy ones, but having no reflection and added texture really made the print look interesting! I assume putting it under a glass frame would really enhance prints on this paper, too. 4. Semi-Gloss - This semi-gloss does look really, really good, but personally I prefer the Luster if I'm going for a semi-gloss finish. I'd say the glossiness of this semi-gloss and the luster are exceptionally close, BUT the semi-gloss lacks the texture that the luster has. It is much smoother though, in case you prefer less texture. 5. Photo Paper Plus Glossy II - This one is my least favorite. Although it is a high-gloss, I think the Pro Platinum produced a much better glossy photo than this Glossy II. Overall, it did still produced a great print. I hope that this review helps you. These are my personal opinions about each type of photo paper, but I would highly recommend ordering this sample pack to determine what type of paper you want print with!! If you do purchase this, I would definitely encourage you to print the same photo on all 4 types so you can really get a good idea of the differences between them.

パッケージにかなり難がありました。四隅がボロボロで、表面が色褪せていました。長く在庫として保管していたものなのかなという印象です。これを販売する姿勢がありえないと思いました。

Great to understand different types of paper. Letter paper size is awkward for finding frames for prints.

Excelente pack para comparar diferentes tipos de papel

vienen varias muestras de varios tipos de papel , así los conoces y luego pides el papel que mas te gusta .
