This time of year when there are many orders for photo exhibitions in spring and autumn.

Especially glossy paper.

PHOTOPRI receives many orders for printing portraits, so glossy paper is often selected over matte paper.

I think there are many people who are used to using it, but there must be many people who do not fully understand the characteristics and advantages of "glossy paper".

In this article,

“Which glossy paper do you recommend?”

"I don't know which one to choose"

"I want to make my work better"

It is summarized for those who say.

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

"What is glossy paper?"

"What kind of glossy paper does PHOTOPRI handle?"

For those who say, I wrote an article like this in the past, so please read it!

[EPSON] Profoto thick texture

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

Glossy paper is extremely popular.

It comes out really well, so the stock is plentiful.

Professional photo paper made by Epson with a thick texture.

The feature is that the surface is fine grained, so the photo can be felt three-dimensionally .

The reflection is also more subdued than Profoto Thick Gloss, giving it an elegant finish.

The paper itself is not flashy, but it is suitable for portraits, and some people say , "This is the best choice for portraits."

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

In other words, the point that versatility is high is a big attraction.

An honor student that can be used in landscapes, buildings, and monochrome.

The color reproducibility is also high, and compared to Canon's fine grain surface raster, the colors are clearly brighter, so I think it will lead to a photo exhibition that leaves a lasting impression !

[Hahnemuhle] Fine Art Pearl

The second glossy paper to pick up is this.

Fine Art Pearl from the German company Hahnemuhle.

Since this paper is made of cotton, it is suitable for long-term storage of photographs.

Many surviving works of art, such as Shakespeare's works and Gudenburg's Bible, are printed on cotton-based paper.

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

The "pearl-like" lighting will elevate your work to the next level.

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

[Epson] Photo Paper Crispia High Gloss

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

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

It reproduces the moment with a transparent beauty, as if you were trapped in the atmosphere of the shooting site.

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

Due to the size of the paper on sale, it can only be used up to A2 size , but if you are thinking of printing A2 size or smaller, this paper is definitely recommended.

Profoto's thick gloss is also popular, but it's more than that in terms of "beauty" , so I personally want you to know the "best" of glitter.

Would you like to try a trial print?

Just like when you buy a car, you should test drive it once. Before printing, we would like you to use the free trial printing and experience the paper with your own eyes .

Glossy paper, matte paper, fine art paper, Japanese paper, and many other types of paper have different textures, textures, colors, and so on.

Even if you try to choose the best one from many papers, I think it will be difficult all of a sudden. A lot of people don't know which one to choose.

You can use your own photo data for trial printing.

We have prepared a trial set according to your preference, so please take advantage of it!
