AI-generated summary
Canon’s PP-201 Glossy II (A3, 20 sheets) is a decent choice if you’re printing photo-style output for clients or presentations and you want predictable, good-looking colour without playing guessing games. It’s glossy, so it’ll give you that “real photo” punch—great for marketing visuals, showroom prints, and anything where the gloss finish matters. At ~£23.65 ex-VAT, the money isn’t terrible, but it also isn’t “cheap paper”; you’re paying for consistent results rather than volume cost.
I’d only buy this if you’re confident your printer is happy with glossy A3 media and you actually need A3 (because the per-sheet cost adds up quickly). If you’re mostly doing internal drafts, monotone documents, or large print runs, you’ll be better off with a more budget-friendly stock. Also, if you handle prints a lot, remember glossy finishes can show fingerprints and scuffs sooner than matte—so it’s best for prints that will be displayed or quickly packed up. Overall: worth it for client-facing photo/gloss work; not ideal for high-frequency, rough-and-ready production.
