Our Papers and Canvas Choices
All our papers and canvas's are selected on quality and made for archival prints.
Lustre Papers
This photo paper is semi-gloss, it helps enhance the details and colours in the image. The lustre ‘texture’ helps with fingerprints and glare.
- Daylight shots for a more natural look.
- Less glare
- Less chance of fingerprints prior to framing.
- Nice all round paper.
- Needs to be framed behind glass - more expensive mounting than canvas.
Metallic Papers
Metallic paper gives colours a deeper colour saturation, makes light colours brighter and has a metallic sheen to the whole print.
- Sunset shots really pop in colours.
- Best for black and white photography
- More Prone to scratching if handled poorly
- Not as high white point as Lustre
- Needs to be framed behind glass - more expensive mounting than canvas
