High Resolution paper? try the Photo Paper Pro!!
oh btw, before I forget, Canon has this rewards program called Canon Plus which gives u points when u buy certain Canon products; when I bought my S800, I have enough points to redeem a pack of the Photo Paper Pro! not bad huh?

Of course, now I'm not sure if u still get the same amt of points since its a "old" model...

You could try the Epson Heavyweight Matte paper, at S$20 for 50pcs, are value for money. They also have the double-sided version (at about S$27) & the archival.
I have used both Canon PPP & Epson Heavyweight, and I like both, but the PPP has a glossy feel to it, and is rather reflective, I prefer matte. Otherwise both render the details just fine, to me at least.
I print on the Epson using Glossy Photo Paper setting on the printer settings.
I tried this based on user recommendations at DPreview, and quite frankly, I was quite skeptical at first, but after two stacks of printing, I can say that I'm quite satisfied.
I now use the double-sided for my index prints and file them, and the single-sided for my larger prints 4R/8R etc. and to give to friends/relatives the many photos of my kid.
I don't mind snail-mailing you a couple of A4's to try, just PM me with your mailing address![]()
