Ihave one these canon Pixma IP 5000 printer. Great printer, but very selective with paper. Used HP and Ilford photopaper in it, but that gives miserable results, with strange effects. Canon original photopaper works a treat. Why is this? Anybody experience with this printer and similar problems? Any solution?
Cheers mates

Its like HP photo printers. They only like HP photo paper. Other brands are ok on these, but not as good, or as clear as HP photo paper.
