Providing a finish that appears to have a speckled surface (traditionally known as a “matte” finish in silver-halide processing), the Satin paper provides superb image quality and consistency with a wide color gamut and deep blacks. This is one of our most beautiful papers, and probably one of our favorites due to the fact it hides fingerprints and other damage – all while giving your print that extra sparkle to look truly professional behind glass. This photo paper also has good archival properties and resistance to fading, especially when placed behind a protective glass or laminated.
We offer the following paper types: Premium Satin, Premium Gloss, Fine Art Photo Rag, Metallic and Canvas
Except for economy prints, prints on metal and press printed products, all images are printed with 12-color inkjet printers. When compared to traditional silver halide prints, our inkjet prints have better reproduction color and quality due to the controllability and number of colors available for output. Our prints are synonymous with “Giclée” Prints, which simply means a digital fine art print made on an inkjet printer, which our prints are.
Except for economy prints, prints on metal and press printed products, our inkjet prints (Premium Satin and Gloss, Metallic, Fine Art Photo Rag and Canvas) are all rated for a print permanence in typical display settings of at least 75 years for color images and at least 200 years for black and white images. When kept behind UV protective glass/glazing, coatings and laminates, the longevity increases beyond 95 years, in some cases beyond 300 years.

Unlike traditional silver halide processing, we do not back-print on our paper.
