What emotions do you want your work to evoke in an audience? Will your photograph be displayed in a gallery or will it be in a portfolio for people to touch?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing the right paper will vary based on personal preferences, but understanding the different qualities of fine art paper will help determine the best one for your project. The finish of your paper, whether glossy or matte, will affect the way your printed image interacts with light and the way ink makes color and visual texture.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Glossy or Matte<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Glossy or matte? That is the first question you should ask yourself, and the answer will vary depending on the project. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Glossy paper is a great option for showing off high contrast images, brilliant colors, and sharp details. Glossy paper has a high D-max, which measures how much black a paper can hold. A glossy finish can produce a very reflective surface, so it is important to know how your print will ultimately be displayed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Matte papers have a lower dynamic range, so they cannot hold the same levels of black as glossy papers do. Matte papers have no glare and can be excellent choices for images with a lower contrast by lending their intrinsic qualities to soft, painterly scenes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In this review, I have printed the same design on multiple varieties of paper from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/l\/Home-Electronics\/Home-Office\/Printer-Paper-and-Media\/Canson-Infinity~Printer-Paper\">Canson Infinity<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/l\/Home-Electronics\/Home-Office\/Printer-Paper-and-Media\/Hahnemuhle~Printer-Paper\">Hahnemuhle<\/a>, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/l\/Home-Electronics\/Home-Office\/Printer-Paper-and-Media\/Moab~Printer-Paper\">Moab<\/a>, to best illustrate how each paper performs and displays the image:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_63885\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-63885\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-63885\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/celtis-Canson-Labeled-paper.jpg\" alt=\"printer photo paper celtis artwork\" width=\"1000\" height=\"654\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/celtis-Canson-Labeled-paper.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/celtis-Canson-Labeled-paper-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/celtis-Canson-Labeled-paper-50x33.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-63885\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Celtis<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4><b>Canson Infinity<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/canbp8511.html\">Canson Infinity Baryta Prestige Gloss Paper<\/a> is a premium fine art paper with an extra smooth texture.

In comparison to the Baryta Prestige, the printed image on this matte paper achieves rich, dark tones, but lower contrast in areas of shadow, leading to a softer feeling. The blue wall in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/buying-guide-photo-studio-backdrops\/\">backdrop<\/a> becomes more pronounced and saturated in the test print and required adjustments in color temperature to emulate the glossy Baryta print.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Moab<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/mojbr851125.html\">Moab Juniper Baryta Rag Glossy<\/a> has a slight coarseness in its surface texture and has a decent sheen when faced with direct light. The paper has a high D-max which is evident in the rich, dark values of the print and expresses a wide tonal range. One of its notable qualities is that the paper is not a cool, bright white. It instead has a more natural, ivory tone which adds a very subtle warming effect on the print\u2019s colors.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_63894\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-63894\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-63894\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/celtis-MoabCanson-Baryta-paper.jpg\" alt=\"printer photo paper celtis artwork\" width=\"700\" height=\"806\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/celtis-MoabCanson-Baryta-paper.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/celtis-MoabCanson-Baryta-paper-261x300.jpg 261w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/celtis-MoabCanson-Baryta-paper-43x50.jpg 43w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-63894\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Moab Juniper Baryta Rag Glossy (Photo by Celtis)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_63888\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-63888\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-63888\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/celtis-Moab-Entrada-paper.jpg\" alt=\"printer photo paper celtis artwork\" width=\"700\" height=\"779\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/celtis-Moab-Entrada-paper.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/celtis-Moab-Entrada-paper-270x300.jpg 270w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/celtis-Moab-Entrada-paper-45x50.jpg 45w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-63888\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Moab Entrada Rag Natural Matte (Photo by Celtis)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The feel of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/moe19n851125.html\">Moab Entrada Rag Natural Matte<\/a> is very pleasant and lightly textured. When printing my art on this paper, the darkest value is maintained, but most of the shadows are lifted in the reproduction. The contrast of the original image is lost, but it allows for a softness to come forward and alter the mood of the painting. The colors can seem more muted on this paper, but increasing the saturation and contrast helps to mitigate that effect. Since the colors are more subdued on the Entrada Rag Natural, it creates a romantic, ethereal mood in the artwork.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_63887\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-63887\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-63887\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/celtis-Hahnemuhle-Labeled-paper.jpg\" alt=\"printer photo paper celtis artwork\" width=\"1000\" height=\"654\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/celtis-Hahnemuhle-Labeled-paper.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/celtis-Hahnemuhle-Labeled-paper-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/celtis-Hahnemuhle-Labeled-paper-50x33.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-63887\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Celtis<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4><b>Hahnemuhle\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/ihupr381125.html\">Hahnemuhle\u2019s Photo Rag Smooth<\/a> is a premium matte paper option with a smooth, yet slightly grainy texture, that captures a wide tonal range and vibrant colors. The texture of the paper adds depth and grit to the skin in my painting by reducing the digital art look. Additionally, the quality of the paper lends itself to a very painterly effect.
