Canon 2311B076 photo paper Blue Gloss

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you’re printing a decent chunk of colour photos and you want reliably glossy results without faffing about, Canon’s Blue Gloss photo paper is a solid “no surprises” choice. The gloss finish tends to look good straight out of the printer, skin tones and highlights usually come out punchy, and it’s the kind of stock that won’t make your prints look washed compared with cheaper, more inconsistent paper. At £30.59 ex-VAT, it’s not impulse-buy cheap, but it doesn’t feel wildly overpriced either—worth considering if you actually care about output quality and you’re using a Canon inkjet setup that’s tuned for photo media.

That said, I wouldn’t buy it if your goal is mostly everyday documents, draft prints, or anything where “good enough” is fine—gloss photo paper just isn’t cost-effective for that, and you’ll pay extra for a finish you don’t need. Also, if you’re price-shopping because you print photos only occasionally, you can often find cheaper glossy alternatives that do the job, especially if you’re not picky about longevity or fine colour gradations. Overall: buy it if you want dependable glossy photo results and you’ll use it often; skip it if you’re printing lots of non-photo stuff or you’re printing rarely and mostly on a budget.
