[Permanently popular] Glossy paper that is often selected [Recommended for photo exhibitions]

[Unwaveringly popular] What is glossy paper that is often chosen? [Recommended for exhibitions]

This is the time when we receive many orders for spring and autumn photo exhibitions.

At PHOTOPRI, we receive many orders for printing portraits, and gloss paper is often chosen over matte paper for such orders.

I think there are many people who are used to using glossy paper, but there are many who don't fully understand the characteristics and benefits of glossy paper.

In this article,

“Which glossy paper do you particularly recommend?”

“In the end, I don’t know which one to choose.”

"I want to make my work better"

This is a summary for those who are interested.

This paper is recommended not only for those who are preparing for a photo exhibition, but also for those who want to casually enjoy printing, so please use it as a reference!

“What is glossy paper?”

“What kind of glossy paper does PHOTOPRI handle?”

For those who are interested, I have written an article like this in the past, so please read it!

[EPSON] Profile thick silk

Well, the first paper I would like to introduce is definitely this.

Glossy paper is extremely popular.

It comes out really well, so we have plenty of stock.

Professional photo paper produced by EPSON, thick and silky.

Professional photo paper thick silk

The most distinctive feature is that the surface has a fine grained surface, which gives the photo a three-dimensional feel .

The reflection is also calmer and has an elegant finish compared to Profoto thick gloss.

Although the paper itself is not flashy, it is suitable for portraits, and some people say that it is their choice for portraits .

The great thing about this paper is that its specialty is not limited to portrait photography.

In other words, its great appeal is its versatility .

An honor student who can use landscapes, buildings, and monochrome.

The color reproducibility is also high, and the colors are clearly brighter than Canon's fine grain surface raster, so I think it will lead to a moist and memorable photo exhibition !

[Hahnemuhle] Fine Art Pearl

The second glossy paper I will talk about is this.

Fine Art Pearl from the German company Hahnemuhle.

[Hahnemuhle] Fine Art Pearl

This paper is made of cotton and is suitable for long-term storage of photos.

Many of the works of art that still exist, such as Shakespeare's works and Gudenburg's Bible, are made using cotton-based paper.

A major feature of fine art pearls is their deep reflection.

The "pearl-like" shine will elevate your work to a higher level.

The paper is 0.4mm thick, so you don't have to worry about it bending, making it easy to handle!

[EPSON] Photo paper Crispier high gloss

The third is another popular photo paper, Crispia High Gloss.

Its beauty is exceptional among the glossy papers sold by EPSON.

It captures the atmosphere of the shooting scene, recreating that moment with crystal-clear beauty.

Photo paper that can be used for portraits, buildings, landscapes, and anything else.

Due to the size of the paper being sold, it is only compatible with paper up to A2 size , but we highly recommend this paper to anyone who is thinking of printing on A2 size or smaller.

Profoto Thick Glossy is also popular, but in terms of ``beauty'' it is even better, so personally, I would like people to know the ``highest peak'' of sparkle.

Would you like to try a trial print?

Just like you take a test drive when you buy a car, we want you to use the trial print service and experience the paper for yourself before printing.

You can't really understand the texture, texture, color reproduction, etc. of a wide variety of papers, such as glossy paper, matte paper, fine art paper, and Japanese paper, until you actually hold the printed material in your hands.

Even if you try to choose the best one from a large number of papers, it may be difficult. There are many people who don't know which one to choose.

You can print a trial print using your own photo data .

We have a trial set that suits your preferences, so please take advantage of it!
