I hope this the best best place for this. If anyone uses Canon printers I can recommend installing Canon Print Shop Pro from the Canon website. It provides excellent control over print settings and integrates with PSE so its accessed from File/Automation Tools. I think its easier, more flexible and better quality than standard print options/dialogues.  |

I'm a Canon printer user, so I might have to try this. Do you use Canon printer paper, or another brand? I use Red River Paper, and I'm curious if you see better results on 3rd party papers using this tool.

I use Red River Paper, and I'm curious if you see better results on 3rd party papers using this tool. I use a variety of papers, Andy, depending on subject and importance. I have only used Red River once, their pre-folded greeting card paper, and wasn't overly impressed. I've only used Canon papers for "quickies" and don't think they offer the same quality as dedicated paper makers. My favourite paper is Canson Baryta Photographique 2 or (if it's on sale ) Baryta Premium. Both are heavyweight papers, 310/340 GSM respectively. They even smell good! I also like Hannemuele matt papers, German Etching, Torchon and William Turner, but not all photos suit these. All in all, it depends what you're printing. If its just a quick 4X6 then not worth spending on expensive paper, but for albums or framing I like to splash out a little. The Print Studio Pro is also fantastic for B&W prints, as it gives really fine control over output. Happy printing! |
