I can't tell you how well it ages, but just a week later all the photos still look excellent. It works and looks great.
Furthermore, even when I swtiched to high resolution for the Microsoft paper, there was no comparison to the low resolution Canon paper. So I had to settle for printing a medium-resolution photo on the Microsoft paper and comparing it to the low-resolution photo printed on the Canon high gloss. AMAZING what a difference there was - the Canon paper beat out the Microsoft paper by far, even with low resolution. Tired of paying the higher prices associated with Canon brand photo paper (versus any other brand of photo paper), I decided to do a little quality comparison right at home. Canon really knows how to make the best photo paper - pay the price, it's well worth it. I decided to try to print out a low-resolution photo on each type of photo paper and compare them both. I bought some less expensive Microsoft photo paper that was also termed "high gloss" photo paper (by the way, you'll disover that there is clearly no industry standard of "high gloss" - it seems anything can be branded as high gloss no matter what the quality). For starters, my Canon printer would not even let me choose the option of low resolution when I selected any other type of photo paper aside from Canon.
But my favorite is Ilford "Gallerie" series. Nice photo paper for everyday use. Can not find any problems with.
So, basically if you own Canon printer you stuck with this paper, which can be a little less expensive. Any other paper I tried produce terrible result. I gave 4 stars because the price is a bit high. This paper works great with Canon printer. Unfortunately this is the ONLY paper that works great with a canon printer.
Works great - I think it might be worth paying extra for compared to generics.
