I use Tetenal Spectra Jet Premium Fine Art Glossy in my 9900 with no
problem at all. Have been using this combination for over 2 years and
see no sign of problems with it. Nicest part is that this is an extra
heavy weight 290 gm paper. Worst part is it is expensive.

I have not tried it yet but one person I know of highly recommends
Ilford Galerie Classic. He's done archival testing by taping them to
the OUTSIDE of his house (rain shielded) and comparing them with test
prints kept in a controlled environment, and they compare favorably. At
B&H the Ilford ($1.40/sheet 25 pack) seems to be slightly cheaper than
Canon ($1.95 / sheet - 10 pack). Shipping costs need to be factored in.
Inkjetart.com has the Ilford slightly cheaper than B&H.
Note you'll need to download a profile for the Canon, and there's a link
to Ilford at the inkjetart site.
I've been contemplating trying the Ilford since Canon does not make a 11
x 17 paper.

I like the Ilford Galerie Classic Pearl best of all of that type of paper.
Much better than Canon's version, and I use a Canon s9000.

I use it on a small home Epson, the R300. I'd recommend this paper even
if it were mediocre, just for the profiles and great printing
instructions available on the Ilford site.
