Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I need to use Canon paper with my Canon printer? — You are not required to use Canon paper, but genuine Canon OEM media is profiled and tested specifically for Canon ink systems. Using Canon paper with Canon ink ensures the most accurate colour, maximum ink absorption, and the longest print longevity. Third-party papers may produce acceptable results but will not be covered by Canon’s longevity ratings.
  • Where can I find ICC profiles for Canon papers? — Canon provides free ICC profiles for every paper and printer combination on the Canon Canada support website. Download the profile for your specific paper and printer model and install it in your print driver or RIP software for colour-managed output.
  • What is the difference between Canon Photo Paper Pro Luster and Pro Platinum? — Pro Luster has a semi-gloss luster finish that reduces fingerprints and glare, making it ideal for professional prints that will be handled or displayed without glass. Pro Platinum has a high-gloss finish with a higher D-max (deeper blacks) and wider colour gamut, making it the best choice for maximum image impact when prints will be framed or displayed behind glass.
