Product Information

The Canon Photo Paper Pro Platinum is part of Canon’s high-end line, though the price doesn’t reflect that. It is an affordable paper, especially given the quality. The Platinum paper is an ultra-high gloss offering with a gloss level of 35 percent at 60 degrees. The high level of shine and 98 percent brightness will help produce incredibly rich color and deep contrast, making it ideal for images that you want to have some extra pop when printed. You have uploaded full-resolution JPGs or Tiff Files to the print lab with a standard colour profile – Adobe RGB or SRGB Luster: Luster papers–sometimes called pearl, semi-gloss, or satin–still have some shine but are less reflective than glossy. The lower level of reflectivity makes them a popular choice among photographers as glare isn’t as much of an issue when framed and displayed. They have an excellent color and contrast range and tend to have a slight texture on the paper, nicely accentuating image content. For instance, you’re probably familiar with the 5:4 aspect ratio, because it’s used for 8×10 and 16×20 prints.

All images are at sufficient resolution/Megapixels to meet the requirements of 300 PPI for the size of print. So with a standard 24 MP full-frame camera, you’ll end up with images that are 6000 pixels by 4000 pixels, or 3:2.

Epson White A4 200gsm Glossy Photo Paper (Pack of 20)

Canson is one of the higher-end paper producers and has been making quality photo paper for a long time. Many photographers prefer the look and feel of matte paper, and the Infinity Rag Photographique Matte is one of the best. It comes in 210 and 310 gsm and has an extensive range of sizes, both in sheet and roll form. With their largest roll, you can print up to 60 inches on the short side, which is massive. So if your photo is 300 pixels long by 300 pixels wide, you can safely print a 1×1 picture. But anything larger will start to cause quality issues.

So now that you understand why you should pay attention to print size, let’s take a look at a few practical aspects of printing, including how to calculate the expected print size given your image pixel dimensions. Inches vs Pixels: Converting Image Dimensions Before Printing

Brother BP71 Gloss Photo Paper 6x4 (Pack of 50)

Digital images are sized in pixels.An image straight out of your camera will often be roughly 6000 pixels on the long end and 4000 pixels on the wide end. I recommend (without any commission or prejudice) One Vision Imaging Limited for all my fine art prints. The print quality and production are always first class and they have excellent customer service so will be more than happy to help you through the process if my guide is beyond what you can process easily. Tied in with brightness and whiteness, but worth paying attention to, in particular, is the use of optical brightness agents (OBAs). OBAs make papers artificially brighter, resulting in numbers beyond the 100-point scale. While this does make the paper brighter, OBAs are known to fade over time and aren’t as archival or long-lasting as papers without OBAs. So, if you are printing museum-quality prints, you should avoid OBAs. However, you’ll end up changing the composition in the process, plus cropping reduces image quality, so you should only use cropping sparingly. Should You Print Using Common Aspect Ratios?
