Q.What is photographic paper?
A. Photographic paper mainly refers to paper for silver halide printing.
It is coated with a photosensitive material used to develop film images taken with a film camera.
However, in recent years, photographic paper for inkjet printers that can output high-quality digital images has also been called "photographic paper," and there are two types: baryta-based and RC (Rasin Coating)-based.
Baryta refers to a paper substrate that has a base layer (baryta layer) applied to it to make the paper appear whiter, and then a layer of photosensitive material applied on top of that.
One of its strengths is the beauty of the depiction achieved through its unique, fine texture.
RC refers to baryta paper that has a resin layer on both sides, eliminating the drawback of baryta paper that causes it to unnecessarily absorb chemicals.
By changing the texture of the surface resin layer, it is possible to create a strong gloss or a more subdued gloss.
Which prints are suitable for photographic paper?
If you are looking for a high-quality finish, such as for producing photo books and albums, large-sized photo paper for photo contests and exhibitions, or for producing pamphlets and catalogs, we recommend photographic paper or silk-like finish.

Would you like to print your photos on photographic paper?
Our service, "PHOTOPRI," aims to provide high-quality printing that is used by solo artists and professionals in various industries, and supports printing in the wide color gamuts of RGB and Adobe RGB.
With RGB printing, you can print the original RGB image without converting it to CMYK, saving you the trouble of conversion and ensuring that the colors don't become dull.
There is also a trial print available, so if you want to try RGB printing but can't do it at home, please give it a try!
