From the Manufacturer
The new standard for Canon Photo Paper. The beautiful sheen of photographic prints using photo printing paper is so economical you can enjoy its luster and brilliant color anytime. Canon is proud to announce the arrival of Photo Paper Plus Glossy II PP-201, a photo paper that improves on Photo Paper Plus Glossy PP-101 to create a new standard in image quality and cost performance.
Maintaining the luxurious feel of Photo Paper Plus Glossy PP-101 with better-than-ever color reproduction: Photo Paper Plus Glossy II PP-201.
Using inkjet coating technology, an ingenious application of photosensitive materials, Canon has succeeded in separating ink deposit layers by function. Where previously only one inkjet coating layer was formed, this technology creates two distinct layers, the color-reproduction layer and the absorbing layer.
Blacker Blacks
A deep, rich black is a black that looks truly black to the eye, not grayish or bluish. Rich, deep blacks are not only important for reproducing deep-black areas of photos. They also contribute to the overall density, contrast and clarity of the photo. Light, grayish blacks weaken the photo's impact, making it ordinary and unimpressive. With Photo Paper Plus Glossy II PP-201, the dye is fixed closer to the surface of the paper, ensuring rich, deep blacks in printed photos.
Photos are beautifully reproduced because the dye is fixed close to the surface of the paper.
The ink-receiving layer accepts the dyes in the ink and places them on the surface of the paper. If this layer is too thick, the dyes are scattered too sparsely, reducing color density and producing washed-out, dull colors. If it is too thin, the water in the ink can overflow the paper's surface, causing beading and bleeding.
The newly added color-reproduction layer fixes the dye to the paper's surface.
Photo Paper Plus Glossy II PP-201 solves this dilemma using innovative inkjet coating technology. Using this technology, the ink-receiving layer is split into two layers, a color-reproduction layer on which the dye is fixed and an absorbing layer that soaks up the excess water solvent.
This layered structure enables the dye to be fixed closer to the surface of the paper, improving the density of the black ink compared with Photo Paper Plus Glossy PP-101. This novel technology achieves rich, deep blacks and bright, vivid photographic results. At the same time, the absorbing layer quickly mops up excess water solvent, for crisp, sharp image quality.
Fuller, more vibrant color reproduction.
The wider the color gamut is, the more colors can be reproduced. Across the entire gamut in both CMY and RGB, Photo Paper Plus Glossy II PP-201 improves on the reproducible range of Photo Paper Plus Glossy PP-101. This photo paper relays the full expressive range of PIXMA for glorious color reproduction every time.
Optical density immediately after printing is greater than ever. See the real colors of your photos, right away.
With ordinary inkjet paper, the quality of the print fresh from the printer is bit unclear, the colors dull. The colors emerge only gradually, so you have to wait several minutes to find out whether the print is faithful to the original image's color, contrast and other features. If your family or friends are waiting for finished prints, or if you're testing corrections to the photos, the wait can seem an eternity.
Photo Paper Plus Glossy II PP-201 is a completely different experience. The optical density (color density) is high immediately after printing, and color reproduction happens fast. In less time than ever, a reproduction of the colors of the original photo is complete. Images are bright and vivid as soon as the print job is finished.

These are perfect for creating frame worthy prints at home!My review philosophy:As a longtime customer of Amazon, I depend on others' honest reviews. I do my best to provide that same courtesy to others.I purchase lots of items through Amazon, some I get for free, some I get at a discounted rate, and some I pay full price. I will always disclose if I receive an item for free or a discounted rate. I do a lot of reviews so here is a break down on how I determine my star rating of a product:5 stars – I love it! It is awesome and I highly recommend everyone to purchase this product!4 stars – I like it, but there are some flaws. Don't we all have flaws? I would purchase again.3 stars - It was okay, but I would probably not buy it again unless there are no other options.2 stars – There may be worse products out there, but you can definitely find better choices.1 star – I dislike the product, I wish I had not purchased it and recommend others to not purchase.

I have a canon pro-100 and this paper works great with this printer. The images have a nice glossy look and the paper feel high quality. The only draw back is it seems you can only purchase it in packets of 20. I really whish it could come in packets of 50 or 100.

I love Canon photo paper, for some reason it makes the picture pop. The colors are the best and it's hard to find 5x7 photo paper.Looking forward to using it.

This is excellent paper for the price, but I can't justify giving it 5 stars as long as the Pro Platinum paper exists. I use this with a Pixma PRO-100 and the results are more than acceptable, but colors just aren't where they are with the nicer paper.

I recently bought a Canon Pixma MX882 printer after milking just as many years as I possibly could out of my old HP that I loved. I had a brief moment of panic when I used a piece of off brand photo paper that I had used with the HP in the new Canon and the results were basically awful. Luckily, the Canon came with a few sample sheets of the Canon photo paper plus glossy II and I immediately ran one of those through. The results were excellent. There evidently is something to be said for matching your paper brand with your printer brand. I also found the prices on the paper through amazon to be more than reasonable. It may not be photo-lab quality, but through glass in a frame I think you would be hard pressed to see the difference. The colors were vibrant and the contrast excellent. If you buy it I hope you are as happy with the results as I was and thanks for taking the time to read my review.

It's hard to review photo paper since one of the key qualities is how prints will hold up over time. I of course can't vouch for that. But using this paper with my Canon Pixma MX850 printer produces just stunning images. Colors jump off the page, lines are razor crisp, no smudging and no wasted paper due to paper jams or misfeeds. The best Amazon vendor is offering 20 pages of 5 x 7 Canon Plus Glossy II for about $6.50, and even better 100 pages of 4 x 6 for around $7.50 all with free delivery. So for not much more than sending it away professionally I'm now making lab-quality prints at home which I get to tweak for contrast, color saturation, etc, just how I want them. Totally worth it to me. I'm very pleased with the results.
