Our Paper Options

Photography Papers

A beautiful photographic print combines a number of paper attributes, including the surface type, weight, coating, whiteness, and white tone, among other aspects. Whilst this gives an almost infinite variety of print options, we have broadly categorised them in to the traditional categories of matt, gloss and lustre. 

Our premium prints are exclusively created on world leading Hahnemühle fine art & photographic papers. These pair perfectly with our Canon Lucia II inks, creating an archival print on a variety of papers that can be selected to match the look and feel you require. These papers have been selected and extensively tested to produce some of the finest photographic prints available.

Whilst the following options relate to our house papers, and are permanently available, we also have access to almost all Hahnemühle papers should they be required for your prints or projects. We are happy to discuss the benefits of each paper if you require assistance.
