No problems using this pricey paper with several different HP models and Brother models. Note that color lasers are *NOT* intended to print high-quality hi-res high-contrast photos like inkjets can, so its kind of a fluke if you get one that works well for this; the newest HP I've used (CP3525) produces very nice-looking photos, but definitely not like a glossy inkjet.

One thing I don't have any knowledge of is how laser photos will fade over time, like inkjet photos often do very badly. The technology is totally different, so its possible that they would hold up better for some reason.

We use this photo paper in a Canon MP620 all-in-one printer, and it produces great quality prints at a good price point.  I've tried HP photo paper at a similar price point in our MP620 printer, and the quality was noticeably lower.  I'd stick to Canon photo paper for a Canon printer.

I own a Canon MP560 All-in-One Printer and I must admit that this product works excellent on my printer and the quality of the ink is more than acceptable!
I printed at least 200 pictures of 6X4 inches and I used 2 ea of the C,M,Y cartriges, 1 ea Black PGI and 1 ea Black CLI. Save me a LOT of money.

Canon cartridges are the best! They last a long, long time and print true every project Even when your printer says the cartridge is no longer full, you can continue to override the print command and print till the cartridge is completely empty. So far, Amazon has the best prices!

I'm satisfied with this product when using it on my Cannon Pixma MX882. The cartridges work flawlessly and I get no incompatibility issues. I would purchase again.

We have an Epson Photo printer and this is the only ink to use to print great photos. I recommend to ALL Epson users. Great price and quick delivery

The Epson WF-3540 multifunction printer is the best one I've found for home office, and this ink that's used with it is very good too.

I have been using Sophia Global cartridges for my Canon printer for a couple of years now.  Have never encountered one yet that the printer didn't recognize or that printed poorly.  These may not be the best choice for high quality photo printing, but for everyday general printing, they're hard to beat.  I love my printer, but it has an insatiable thirst for ink.  These cartridges allow me to print whatever I want without breaking the bank.

This is my second Canon all in one and like my first one, I love it.  The setup and quality makes them the Apple of printers from my perspective.  I've had HPs and Epson, but they always come up short compared to Canon.

Have had Epson, HP, Cannon printers. All of the models bought were recommended by a major consumer magazine. I thought the Cannon printer was pretty good but then decided that anything I got for my next printer would be kind of the same ole, same ole so I went with something that would save me on printer ink and printing cost. The Brother MFC-J870DW turned out to be the best printer I ever had. Holds more paper than any of the previous printers I used and has an easy to use removable flat resting paper tray that I can refill in 10 seconds or less. The ink cartridge compartment is right in the front and easy to access. I can replace an ink cartridge in seconds. Paper jams (which almost never happens unless I overload the paper tray) are easy to clear.

I have had my cannon printer for years and, though I love it, was sick of paying so much money for ink. I was about trying to find a printer whose ink was cheaper when I saw the ad for Sophia Global. I gave my cannon one last try.  The ink quality from Sophia Global is as good as the cannon and I have saved a lot of money. I no longer have to be careful about printing about proofs etc. I keep extra on hand and switch out when needed - which doesn't seems as often as I had to with cannon.  You'll be happy with this purchase.

First learned of this paper about 8 years ago, it works much better with several of my printers providing beautiful photos time after time.
Started using this with Epson 800, 1200 now with HP6500 -
It's the ONLY paper that worked perfectly with Epson - dry immediately upon finished printing. Others would be tacky for hours!
Works as good with my HP6500.
So happy I found source for this at reasonable price.

I honestly don't know why I ordered this.  I was excited about getting a good price on the Canon iP100 mobile printer.  I just went a little crazy.  I've been using NON-OEM ink cartridges for years, and with very good results.  And I've been getting my glossy photo paper at the dollar store.

I guess if you got the money you will always demand the best, and this is the best.  Certainly you will insist on the best if you're a pro.  The important thing is for buyers to make informed choices.

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.

The Pro9500 printer is a good option for those who want archival quality prints on reduced gloss or art papers. If you want to do glossy prints, you may not like the result. In most prints, some areas will not look glossy when viewed certain angles.

WHAT YOU WILL LIKE:

You can probably find a [...] promotional rebate for a while yet. It's giving way to the 9500 Mark II.

The pigmented inks on Canon paper have an independently verified (fade) permanence rating of 100 years plus.

It's easy to add profiles for third party papers in the Canon color management workflow.

I can now validate that the three-black inks give EXCELLENT black and white results.

Canon has some great (not cheap) art papers. Museum Rag, Museum Etching, Premium Matte. There are a lot of third party offerings that work well with this printer (Ilford Pearl is highly touted)

Color accuracy is amazing. Best I have experienced compared to a dozen or more printers. I usually have to tweak color settings to get most printers to match a calibrated monitor even with their own papers. This gem printed it's very first photo with flawless color rendition on Ilford Smooth Classic, using Ilford's free ICC profile. The finest changes I can detect on my monitor are visible in the print. Wow! What a pleasure.

This printer is built like a tank. It should outlast my Toyota Tundra, and nothing outlasts a Tundra!

WHAT YOU MAY NOT LIKE:

Not what I would choose for glossy, but I didn't buy this for snapshots. I bought it to provide my customers with archive longevity.

Slow. Probably the biggest improvement that the Mark II offers. I don't really care as I'm not in mass production. Color matching outweighs this for me.

When print media is set for the Fine Art papers, the 13x19's have an 1-1/2" boarder! This is to prevent curl from edge bleed. Workaround is to use the Matte setting, but this defeats the work Canon put into matching their ink placement to their papers. I can now say it is a bad workaround.

It doesn't come with a USB cord, so buy one!

CONCLUSION:

I would recommend the 9500 to anyone who is not going to be printing glossy, and wants lab quality prints with archival fade resistance.
