I work out the look for an image (color images) using Pro Platinum and print for presentation on Canson Platine. I notice a difference between the two in bright highlights and deep shadows, the Platine has a better look in the brightest areas and maybe more detail in the deepest shadows. The glossy finish of Pro Platinum is another distinguishing point relative to Platine. Otherwise, the two are very close, but Platine costs four times as much.

Have been using Epson printers for years mainly for colour. Was unable to get decent mono prints as my model only has one black cartridge. Bought the 100S because it has three black variations. Despite that my normal fotospeed paper produced a sepia finish and not true black. Was forced to buy canons platinum paper that gave a good plack print. Unfortunately the platinum paper is three times the price of fotospeed. I will only use it for mono prints.

I have been using this paper on my Canon ip8720 for about 3 years and have been very happy. Recently, I started a quest for something different and, hopefully, even better. One conclusion of my endless tests is that this paper is simply outstanding in terms of color gamut and accuracy, as well as extreme detail. For the price, it is unmatched. I did find a couple of semi-gloss papers that are equal or superior (primarily because they are less glossy and give a more 3D impression), but they cost a lot more. These include Canson Platine Fibre Rag, Canson Baryta Prestige and (best of all) Hahnemuhle Fine Art Baryta Satin. I will add some of these to my printing arsenal but I am not letting go of Pro Platinum.
