This paper is characterised by its smooth, glossy surface, which provides excellent colour saturation, sharpness, and detail reproduction, making it ideal for capturing rich black and white images and vibrant colour photographs. Its baryta coating gives it a traditional darkroom photo paper feel, enhancing the depth and tonal range of prints.

The white cotton artist’s paper, with its characteristic, wonderfully soft feel, boasts a lightly defined felt structure, lending each artwork a three-dimensional appearance and impressive pictorial depth.
