So, I've finally narrowed my inkjet papers down to two choices, and I can't decide between them!
Basically, I sell most of my landscape photos as metal prints on aluminium, but also want to make an inkjet paper option available.
The properties I am after are:
-Wide gamut, capable of highly-saturated colours
- Deep blacks
- High-gloss (although I will probably have most of these prints laminated with glossy laminate to help achieve a mirror-like gloss)
- Physically durable surface
- Chemically durable with the right inks
- Able to be mounted onto Dibond panel without a border
The way I see it, the Photo Rag Baryta and Photo Rag Pearl are fairly similar, with the following key differences:
- Photo Rag Pearl is slightly sharper, with an arguably slightly wider gamut
- Photo Rag Pearl is less glossy (does this matter if I'm applying a high-gloss laminate anyway?)
- Photo Rag Pearl is smoother
- Photo Rag Baryta has a lighter white point
- Photo Rag Baryta is glossier
- They're both roughly as physically and chemically durable as each other
Any opinions on these papers, one way or the other?
