What is glossy paper? Paper selection essential for printing works!

Q. What is glossy paper?

A. Glossy paper is commonly known as photo paper.

It has a smooth texture and a glossy surface, giving it a glossy look.

It has good color development, and especially black is clearly projected, so it is ideal when you want to create contrast.

Glossy paper is coated on the surface, giving it a luxurious finish.

We would like to introduce two representative types of paper that we actually print on at "PHOTOPRI" !

[EPSON] Professional Photo Paper Thick Glossy

[EPSON] Professional Photo Paper Thick Glossy

Glossy paper that uses RC paper (resin coat = synthetic resin coat). The thickness is 0.27mm.

Simply put, it is a paper that is "smooth and shiny", and it gives the impression of being THE/glossy paper .

You can turn your photos into works of art full of richness.

As an aside, even the slightest scratches on this paper are noticeable, so we put even more effort into our checks.

Because it is paper for professional use, the image is beautiful in one word, "as expected". Many people use it for printing special occasions such as solo exhibitions by professional photographers and artists.

[EPSON] Professional Photo Paper Thick Texture

[EPSON] Professional Photo Paper Thick Texture

Paper with a fine-grained surface. The thickness is 0.27mm.

Compared to the above-mentioned "Thick Gloss" , this paper gives a slightly more subdued impression. That said, it still retains its luster. Since the glossiness is also suppressed, it is difficult to affect the appreciation of the work.

This paper, which makes photos moist , expresses the feeling of human skin perfectly . If it is indoors, I think that it will demonstrate a high level of performance regardless of the brightness.

This paper is also often chosen by professional users, so it will be a choice that will not fail.

If you get lost in various ways, we recommend "glossy paper", which is highly versatile.

This is because the "glossiness" that each has, whether it is glossy or silky, makes the photo more attractive and creates a sense of luxury.
