Super High Gloss for Professional Quality
Canon's new premium glossy photo paper was redesigned with the features of the reputable Photo Paper Pro (Model number PR-101). The reputable solid feeling texture and image ability for depth and natural feel of Photo Paper Pro were inherited by Photo Paper Pro II (Model number: PR-201).
Comparison of "Photo Paper Pro II [Model number: PR-201]" and "Normally marketed RC-based silica inkjet photo papers"
Material for Ink-receiving layer
"Alumina" has been adopted for ink-receiving layers as with Photo Paper Pro to carry on its reputable "clarity", "perspective", "deep" and "natural" feel. Use of this alumina provides different image quality and gloss, and faster ink absorption compared to normally marketed inkjet photo papers using silica as a coating material.

Base Paper
Whereas Resin-coat (RC) paper is adopted as a base paper for many inkjet photo papers, "Photo Paper Pro II" uses the same base paper as the previous model "Photo Paper Pro" which is similar to the "baryta" coating paper that was used as the main base paper for the former silver halide photo paper. With this base paper, Canon's paper-based inkjet photo paper continues to have a unique sense of stiffness and texture which cannot be produced with the RC-based inkjet photo paper.
