faq about photo papers


Color Photographic Paper
 

We use Kodak Supra Endura Papers, photographic papers with extraordinary color gamut that can last over 200 years -- a new standard for image longevity. Their improved light keeping is equivalent to 100+ years before noticeable fading occurs under typical home display conditions. Significantly improved keeping in dark storage measures over 200 years. Prints that will last more than a lifetime... for multiple generations.

FEATURES
State-of-the-art image stability 100 years in home display; 200 years in dark storage

Brighter colors and accurate skin tones.

Digital and optical print capability in a single paper for a consistent look

 

B & W Photographic Paper

We use Ilford Multigrade RC & Fiber based photo papers.

The Ilford RC paper is a premium quality paper with a bright base tint. The image color remains cool to neutral whether viewed in daylight or fluorescent light. Available in
Glossy or Pearl surface


The ILford Fiber Based paper is a
premium quality, variable contrast black and white paper on a 255g/mē fiber base. Fiber based papers have an appearance, weight and quality of their own... a 'hand crafted' look which immediately appeals to skilled printers and discriminating collectors...the exhibitors paper for exhibition prints.
