Comments about Canson Infinity Rag Photographique:

Initially, I bought the Rag Photographique 310gsm in 11x17 inch size because one of my favorites--Epson Hot Press Natural--does not come in this size. What I discovered is that the Canson paper is superb in every respect. The finish is smooth and the color is a clean natural white without OBAs. The downloaded ICC profiles from Canson Infinity's website are excellent and I'm very happy with results in my color photographs printed using them. The paper is more expensive than the Epson Hot Press in comparable sheet sizes but the quality is tops. It's a little lower in price than Hahnemuhle's equivalent Photo Rag Ultra Smooth and I generally prefer the Canson since the Hahnemuhle paper uses a small amount of OBAs and I try to avoid them. Another alternative--Moab Entrada Rag Natural--is also a very good choice at a slightly lower price although I had some minor problems using Moab's suggested media settings with my printer.

Overall, this is one of the finest matte papers I've used for my color photographs. I've not used all the papers available of this type so I can't say it's the "best in its category". It would be my most used matte finish paper except for the price.

I bought a canson multi-pack to experience several of their digital papers. After printing on all the papers with my inkjet printer I was convinced that this paper was perfect for my photographs. The 210 weight was about as high as my printer would handle. The color jumps right off the paper and looks great. The Canson glossy papers are also very nice.
