Media Types

Various types of paper can be selected for inkjet printers. Even when the same image is printed, its impression will differ greatly depending on the selected paper type.
Paper selection is an important factor for creating works of art as you wish.

Photo Paper

Photo paper is broadly classified into glossy paper, semi-gloss paper, matte paper, etc. depending on the surface finish. The difference in surface finish greatly affects the impression of the work of art in terms of the depth of black, purity of white, contrast, glossiness, etc.

Fine Art Paper

Fine art paper mainly uses art paper or the like as the base paper, and is mostly thick and varies in surface finish; it is thus recommended when you want to give a solid and heavy feel or rich texture to the work of art.
