Frequently Asked Questions
Which Canon printers are compatible with Photo Paper Plus Glossy II?
Photo Paper Plus Glossy II is compatible with Canon's inkjet printer lineup, including PIXMA and PIXMA PRO series models. Check Canon's media compatibility list for your specific printer to confirm support for this paper weight and finish.
What is the actual weight or thickness of this paper?
Canon rates Photo Paper Plus Glossy II as a heavyweight glossy media. It has a noticeably thicker feel than standard photo paper, which contributes to the traditional photograph look and prevents show-through, though Canon does not publish an exact gsm figure for all regional variants.
Can I use this paper for prints that will be displayed without a frame or protective cover?
The glossy coating provides some resistance to fingerprints and minor smudging compared to uncoated paper, but for long-term display without protection, prints will still be susceptible to UV fading and surface damage. Using a frame with UV-protective glass is recommended for longevity.
Is this paper compatible with third-party or non-Canon inkjet printers?
While physically it can feed through most inkjet printers that accept heavyweight glossy media, the paper is optimized for Canon's ink chemistry. Using it with non-Canon printers may result in longer drying times, reduced color accuracy, or ink pooling on the glossy surface.
