I have the same question -- especially for A3 and A4 printing. Is Photo Paper Pro available in those sizes?
Don.
Try the Pictorico PHGH White Film. It's a little expensive but its excellent. Also the pictorico Photo Gallery Paper.

I have been using Red River, the Ultra Gloss, Ultra Satin and Matte. My favorite is the Ultra Satin.
Both of the Ultra's are thick and heavy feeling, the colors really show on these papers and they aren't too expensive.

Mike,
Thanks for letting me know about Red River. I'm going to order some today and see how it works...Sure sounds good.
I tried to find the CANON PPP here in town but not one of the office supply stores carries it..Have you tried that paper and how does it compare to the Red River?
Thanks again,
GeeJay

I've been trying all kind of papers and always come back to :
TETENAL HIGH GLOSSY SPECIAL 264 grs.
I thnik this is buy far the best paper that's available and it performs well
in any inkjetprinter and I can know because I owned 5 types last 2 yr.
( my Canon S9000 is the best ever allthough I've been fighting with it's
settings but that's under control now )

Mike: What settings do you use for the Red River Ultra Gloss and Ultra Satin? I may order some of both as I understand they are both excellent with the 900 - 9000. Some say as good or better than the Canon PPP.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm a real neophyte when it comes to photo printing (just got my first photo printer - S9000 - yesterday) so my eye may may not be as discerning as others'. I took a chance at Office Max yesterday and picked up a 15-pack of Hammermill Jet Print Photo professional photo paper (8.5X11) for $13 and change. Using the default Canon PPP settings, I'm EXTREMELY pleased with the prints. I brought one to a friend who is an advanced amateur/semi-pro film photographer and he was amazed by the quality.
Not much cheaper than PPP, but easier to find...

Shouldn't that be "nowhere" teach? (read your other post, just inserting a funny here -- not really trying to pick on you)

Office Max here had 5 or 6 kinds of the Jet Print paper. I've only tried the "Professional" so far.

Looks like I'm learning the hard way...
Be patient and sooner or later I'll get this all figured out along with better spelling.
