Last week I had order paper from Red River Paper http://www.redrivercatalog.com . It arrived today and just ran my first test with the Canon S900. Wow am I impressed. I ran a test using the UltraPro Satin using their setting. Many had stated via this Forum you could put a print from the Canon S900 up against one from a one hour lab and you could not tell them apart. Well let me say they where correct. I am sold on this paper.

Stu,

What do you mean by "using their setting"? I bought some UltraPro Satin (coming this Wed.)

Eric,

When you receive the paper, there will be a sheet that tells you the best settings for the printer you are using to get the best prints.

Were you impressed with the color? the finish of...? the dot grain?

When I look at the dot grain of Canon PPP, I have to say that there is yet any paper that can come close. How good is the dot grain on the Red River?

Simon,

I put a print from the Canon S900 up against one from a one hour lab and you could not tell them apart. This was done using UltraPro Satin. I also had my neighbor look at to prints of the same photo. Without knowing he picked the one printed with the Canon S900 on UltraPro Satin as the better print.

What program did you print from? What settings did you use in the program?
 
I agree that RR papers work great with the S9000. My printer arrived yesterday, a week after my RR papers. The gloss, printed with the PPP paper setting, and using Joe's PPP profile with QImage, looks superior to the Canon PPP itself, and doesn't come out 'milky' for the first half hour, but looks vivid as soon as it comes out of the printer. I did find some visible blotchiness/ink pooling in blue skies with the RR UPSatin, printed without ICM, using superfine and PPP paper settings. May have to try that using 'glossy film' setting, or something that lays down less ink. Some very fine vertical micro-banding is also visible in the skies, that wasn't seen using Canon PPP paper. My 13 x 19's with the RR Gloss are wonderful, and in about 5 min. printing time, this is great!

Stuart,
Can you test this paper for waterproofness..
If you were to submerge a pic under the faucet will it wipe the picture off??

How does the weight of the paper feel? does it feel like aregular print from a processor??

Chris,

The paper weight is same as any photo paper. It looks and feels as though it came from the lab. As far as the waterproofness I have not tried that. But if you think about you should not put any photo under water.

I took a 4x6 print, ran it front and back under tap water for about 15 seconds, patted it dry with a cotten towel, and noticed no deterioration in the image. This satisfies my curiousity. If I were more concerned, I do a more thorough test.

Yup, I've put prints from the Canon under the faucet and there was not any running at all. Of course the prints were ruined. I've tested this with both OEM ink and Weink refill ink. Neither have run on Canon, Epson or Red River paper.
 
I found this out on the 8200 (uses same ink as 900 9000)

I used Kodaks ulta satin photo paper which i loved the look of it as im not a big glossy fan.

Everything was great untill me and my wife were talking about doing some prints of her cousins and selling the pics to their parents. 4x6 5x7 8x10 wallets etc.. then i remembered how bad a wallet picture can take abuse. so as a test i wanted to see if aunt judy spllled a cup of juice on her new 8x10 what would happen.

Well i had some test prints on the kodak paper and i ran it under the faucet for about 10 sec. took my thumb across the pic and nothing happend. Great I though.. these will be durable prints. then i took my thumb again to the print and pressed a little harder and magicly the ink came right off the paper. I was able to clean the entire 4x6 print and could of used the paper again for another print.

i understand if certain things get wet they are gone anyway but if you get a 8x10 silver processed they with stand water pretty well and dont have to worry about the print disapering off the paper.

im going through the process of choosing a online frontier printer for my images but the inconsistancys of the color when i get them back is driving me nuts. So either the S9000 or the new Epson 2100P for this guy.

thanks for all your tests.
