Technical Overview
This fine art paper is specifically formulated for inkjet technology, optimizing ink absorption and drying times to prevent smudging and bleeding. The cold press manufacturing process creates a subtle textured finish that enhances the tactile quality of prints without compromising image sharpness.
The material composition is entirely acid-free, lignin-free, and chlorine-free, meeting archival standards for long-term preservation. This prevents yellowing, brittleness, and degradation over time, ensuring prints remain stable for decades under proper storage conditions.

Is this paper suitable for double-sided printing?
Yes, the 98% opacity rating significantly reduces show-through, making it suitable for double-sided printing when needed. The heavy 340 g/m² weight and 19 mil thickness provide sufficient density to prevent ink bleed and maintain print quality on both sides.
What print technology is this paper optimized for?
This paper is specifically optimized for inkjet printing technology. It is engineered to control ink absorption and drying times, preventing smudging, bleeding, or bronzing while delivering sharp detail and vibrant color reproduction with both dye-based and pigment-based inks.
How does the textured surface affect print quality?
The cold press textured matte surface enhances print quality by adding a subtle tactile dimension that mimics traditional art papers. It reduces glare under lighting, improves perceived depth in images, and provides excellent ink holdout without sacrificing detail sharpness or color saturation.
What does archival construction mean for this paper?
Archival construction indicates the paper is acid-free, lignin-free, and chlorine-free, meeting international standards for long-term preservation. This prevents yellowing, brittleness, and degradation over decades, ensuring prints remain stable and visually intact when stored under proper conditions.
Can this paper be used with all inkjet printers?
This paper is compatible with most wide-format and large-format inkjet printers that support roll media up to 44" wide. It works optimally with printers using Epson Ultrachrome, Canon Lucia, or similar professional pigment inks, but always verify printer media specifications for thickness and weight compatibility.
