Has anyone used the Epson Enhanced Matte paper with the Canon i9900? I just tried a couple of test prints but it doesn't compare with the Epson Premium Luster in saturation. This is based on the luster printed using 'glossy photo paper' as the media type and the matte using 'matte photo paper' as the media type, both at the highest resolution with effects turned on. When you compare the Canon matte paper to the Epson paper side by side, the Canon is noticably whiter (or cooler) which would account for the difference. Anyone know where one could get the correct settings for the Epson Enhanced Matte?

Generally, matte papers don't work well with Canon printers.
This is due to the fact that Canon printers use heat to squirt out ink rather than air pressure.

Matte paper doesn't work well with canon printers? But canon makes it's own matte paper...? So...?

And I find, on my canon i960, that Epson Premium Luster Photo Paper with an "E" surface does just fantastic. 'Course it's not an i9900, so results may differ... I just WISH mine were an i9900! :-)

I can't say enough good things about Epson Premium Luster, it's just so frikken expensive - obviously for good reason. I only wish Canon made something with a great surface like that. And I have to say it again I don't like the Canon Photo Paper Pro.

I recently purchased the Profile Prism product from ddisoftware.com. I had some off-brand paper that I really wanted to use with my Canon i950. One was Polaroid's Premium Glossy and the other was Ilford's Gallery Classic Pearl. With Profile Prism I was able to create profiles for both brands of paper that now allow me to get consistent quality prints every time (...assuming I don't switch ink brands, in which case I just need to re-profile my printer).

I can't recommend Profile Prism enough. It's a great tool - just takes a little getting used to. Custom profiles will allow you to fine-tune your printer output for consistent results with almost any paper.

Thanks for this. I'm going to look into it.
