A review of professional photographic printing papers
Photographers spend hours, days, weeks, even years capturing that perfect photograph, but often don't give much thought to the type of photo printing paper they will present it on - which can have major effect on the overall look of their photograph.
These days there are many different types of photographic printing papers available to amateur and professional photographers for their photo printing [http://www.theprintspace.co.uk] needs. Each paper has its own distinct flavour, adding spice, subtlety, elegance or dimension to the photograph.
For C-type prints, Fuji Gloss paper from Fujifilm provides the photographer with a rich glossy finish, accentuating the colour to give a punchy look.
Fuji Matt provides the photographer with a semi-matt finish, resulting in a natural photographic finish with subtle toning in colour.
Fuji Flex paper is finished with a plasticy-feel super-gloss, being able to reach deep, rich - and effectively glorious - colours.
Meanwhile Kodak Metallic paper offers a bit of dimension to your photography, pulling rich and reflective textures to give a 3D effect to http://www.theprintspace.co.uk/digital-c-type-prints.php">C-type prints.
For inkjet, or Giclee prints, Hahnemuhle offer their Photorag paper, a heavy art paper which softens the image's colours to give a watercolour feel to the final product.
Hahnemuhle's Pearl paper is a slightly textured heavy paper, keeping with an illustrative arty feel, but giving a nice kick to colours.
German Etching paper from Hahnemuhle is silky and smooth, a great fine surface texture and very popular amongst fine artists and photographers looking for that sophisticated finish.
Epson's Semi-Gloss paper is 260 g.s.m with a medium finish gloss, bringing out natural colours very nicely, with fine detail.
Harman Gloss Warmton paper does exactly what it says on the label, a heavy fibre based paper with a creamy white and high degree of glossiness. Ideal for vibrant and colourful http://www.theprintspace.co.uk/professional-epson-giclee-prints.php">Giclee prints.
And finally, at 320 g.s.m the Harman Gloss FB produces great detail and definition with an extended tonal range and is great for archiving.
