For the info of those living in the UK, I have just come across an excellent paper. It is Unicorn brand, made in Switzerland and sold by Lidl.
Called Photo Glossy Inkjet Paper, A4, 210g/m2, water resistant and instant dry. I bought a pack of 50 sheets for approx 3 (if memory serves me right) about 2 weeks ago. On my IP4000 it gives results as good as Canon's - the blacks are really black, not just dark grey.
I went for more but it had all gone. The trouble is Lidl has new products twice a week. Their product line seems to repeat every few months, so if it's not in stock locally now, it may be a while before it comes round again.
