Canon PT-101 Photo Paper Pro Platinum A3+ — 300 g/m² smooth gloss inkjet photo paper, 10 sheets
A3+ · 329 x 483 mm300 g/m² · 0.30 mmSmooth gloss10 sheets
The Canon PT-101 Photo Paper Pro Platinum (2768B018) is a pack of 10 A3+ sheets (329 x 483 mm) of 300 g/m² smooth gloss inkjet photo paper, for photographers and studios printing exhibition and portfolio prints on an A3+ capable Canon photo printer.
PT-101 is Canon's top glossy paper: a six-layer, 300 g/m² sheet with an ISO brightness of 98 and Canon's highest glossiness rating, matched to Canon Lucia and ChromaLife100+ inks. The A3+ sheet gives a print area larger than A3, so an A3 image can be printed with a margin for mounting.
Before you order: You need a printer that feeds A3+ paper. A3+ (329 x 483 mm) is larger than A3: Canon lists A3+ for the PIXMA PRO-200, while the PIXMA TS9550a takes A3 but not A3+. An A4-only printer cannot use this pack — tell us your model and we will check.
What's in the Box
- 10 sheets of Canon PT-101 Photo Paper Pro Platinum, A3+ (329 x 483 mm)
- No ink, printer or frames included
What It Means in Practice
- 300 g/m² and 0.30 mm thickness: the sheet has the weight and stiffness of a professional photographic print and does not curl the way thinner papers do.
- Smooth high-gloss surface: maximum colour saturation and deep blacks, but reflections are visible under direct light — for glass-framed prints consider a lustre paper.
- Select the Canon paper type for PT-101 in the printer driver — the driver then lays down the right amount of ink for this coating.
- Canon describes the paper as instant-dry, so prints can be handled straight after printing.
- Borderless printing depends on the printer, not the paper: Canon lists borderless A3+ for printers such as the PIXMA PRO-200.
What Will Not Work
- Laser printers and copiers — this is coated inkjet media; the fuser heat of a laser printer can damage the coating and the printer.
- A3-only printers (for example PIXMA TS9550a) and A4-only printers — the A3+ sheet will not feed.
- Non-Canon printers: the paper may feed, but Canon only tunes the paper and ink profiles for its own printers, so colour and drying are not guaranteed.
- Order the right size: 2768B018 is the 10-sheet A3+ pack. The 20-sheet A3 pack is a different part number (2768B017).

Frequently Asked Questions
Which printer setting should I use?
Choose the PT-101 paper type (Photo Paper Pro Platinum) in the Canon driver. Using a plain-paper setting puts down the wrong amount of ink and the print can look dull or stay wet.
Does it work with non-Canon ink?
Canon matches its photo papers to genuine Canon inks. Third-party ink may print, but colour and drying behaviour are not something Canon specifies.
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
PT-101 is the paper for the prints you sell or exhibit; for proofs and everyday enlargements, a 260 g/m² Canon paper costs much less per sheet. See the full range of
inkjet photo papers if you need another finish or size.
✓ Buy it if you print exhibition or client prints on an A3+ Canon photo printer and want Canon's highest gloss and brightness.
✕ Skip it if your printer stops at A3 — A3+ will not feed, and you should choose the A3 version instead.
→ Also consider Canon LU-101 Photo Paper Pro Luster A3 (6211B007) for a low-reflection finish, or Canon SG-201 A3 (1686B026) for a satin finish.
