I used to be a professional Printer/Photographer & had never been happy with anything a standard printer churned out. I always get my printing done professionally & only use my Canon MG5250 for a bit of instant photo gratification. To be honest the results have always been less than acceptable. I've just printed a photo out which I printed last week with some cheap paper & the difference is astonishing. The colours look really smooth & very accurate & the level of detail is amazing. I will always be using This paper from now on.
