Canon s900 Questions

[Joe Blackburn]

I just purchases a Canon s900 printer. I bought some Staples
Professional High Gloss Photo Paper, and the photos turned out very
nice. I read a lot of posts about paper on this board and others.
Staples paper has a terrible reputation so I thought I would take the
advice of the boards and buy some Office Depot High Gloss Photo
Paper. I printed the same picture and the results were almost
identical.

Does anyone have any experience with these papers? The Staples paper
is around 30 dollars for 200 4x6 sheets. It is 270g/m^2. 72 lb; 10
mil.

I saw there are icc profiles for this printer and Office Depot paper
at http://www.wandb.com/icc.htm. I am very new to photo printing and
was wondering how you install these profiles and use them. I
extracted it to the folders your suppose to put the icc file in but
then I couldn't get that profile to be in the list for Adobe
Photoshop CS or Qimage. If anyone has any experience or
instructions some help would be greatly apprecated.

One last question.

I have heard good things about the refill kits and cartridges at
http://www.alotofthings.com, supposedly they use formulabs ink. Does
anyone have any bad stories about these inks or cartridges.

Thank you in advance.

I use Canon printers and have had excellent results with OD paper. It's was
suggested her as a quality paper for Canon printers.

To be honest, and I was looking through, I have had better luck with
the Staples High gloss paper... Get it online for cheaper most of the
time too, and check their specials page, it frequents that thing...
Just an FYI..
