Choosing wisely will enhance the look and longevity of your
prints
By Ibarionex R. Perello
The final look of
your print has everything to do with the paper you place in
your printer. Beyond size, the weight, whiteness and surface
of a paper all make a dramatic difference in the appearance
of color and tone, especially whites and blacks. By carefully
selecting paper, you can move beyond merely copying an image
and elevate printmaking to a more creative part of your photography.
Inks designed and produced by the leading printer manufacturers,
including Canon, Epson and Hewlett-Packard, are unique and exhibit
distinct qualities that impact color, tone and print life. Available
in a variety of surfaces, these papers can include glossy, matte,
satin or luster finishes that deliver distinct looks.
