It is with great pride that Adorama presents the Photo Rag Baryta 315gsm, an exceptional inkjet paper that seamlessly blends the classic elegance of a high-gloss finish with the enduring quality of 100% cotton rag.

Crafted with a natural white hue, the Photo Rag Baryta 315gsm offers photographers and artists a luxurious canvas that honors the tradition of baryta board. The barium sulfate coating is the secret behind its lustrous sheen, which not only amplifies color vibrancy but also enhances the luminosity of each image. The result is a striking depth and intensity that breathes life into every print.
The very fine surface texture, coupled with the baryta gloss, bestows a distinctive expressive character upon portraits, making them stand out with an almost three-dimensional quality. Black and white prints, in particular, benefit from an "wow" factor thanks to the paper's extremely high Dmax, which delivers deep, rich blacks, and an unparalleled reproduction of the finest grey tones. Color images, too, are rendered with a lustrous sheen that captures the eye.
The premium inkjet coating of the Photo Rag Baryta 315gsm is not only water-resistant but also engineered to support a vast color gamut, ensuring that each print showcases 3-dimensional color depth and high image definition. The tactile experience of the ultra-smooth surface is nothing short of a delight, inviting touch and closer inspection.
Incorporating barium sulfate in the premium inkjet coating replicates the typical gloss found in traditional Baryth papers, making this product a genuine alternative for those seeking the quality of analog laboratory papers in a digital format. The archival quality of this paper is further enhanced by its cotton composition, which is naturally pH neutral, leading to an extended lifespan for your photographs. Moreover, the longer fibers of cotton make for a robust paper that is significantly more durable than those made from wood fibers.
Ideal for both color and black and white photography, the Photo Rag Baryta 315gsm is a testament to the fusion of modern digital printing technology with time-honored paper crafting techniques. It is a superior choice for professionals and enthusiasts alike who demand the best in print quality, durability, and aesthetic appeal.
