Canon 9500Pro MK II and Paper

**Fotoguy20d** · 25-Aug-2011, 07:21

I have a 9500 printer coming in a few days and want to pick up some good paper to use it in. Anyone have some recommendations/experiences to share? Mostly, I expect to use it for B&W printing but I'm sure I'll do some color. I'm thinking I'd prefer a matt or pearl sort of finish and a nice fiber. Okay, I don't really even know what I'm thinking of - the only photo paper I have at home is some very old Kodak glossy paper - it's pretty lousy on my HP inkjet so I don't expect it to be better here. I know I don't want something like that.

Thanks,
Dan

If you want an inexpensive but very nice matt fine art paper try Red River 60# Polar Matt. They also have a very nice semi-warm tone rag for a little more moo-la.

Thanks. I ordered their sample kit for pigment inks - has 2 sheets of each of their papers.

I have some Innova FibaPrint White Semi-Matte Inkjet Photo Paper (

Great paper for both B&W and color.
