FAQ

Q:What is photo paper and how is it different from regular paper?

A:Photo paper (also called inkjet photo paper or printer photo paper) is a specially coated printing media designed for high-resolution image output. Unlike regular office paper, photo paper features a microporous or cast-coated surface that absorbs ink precisely, producing vivid colors, sharp details, and smooth gradations. Photo paper comes in glossy, matte, luster, and satin finishes, with weights ranging from 100gsm to 300gsm, making it ideal for photography, advertising, and fine art reproduction.

Q:Which photo paper is best for inkjet printers?

A:The best photo paper for inkjet printers depends on your use case. For professional photo prints, RC glossy or luster photo paper (240–300gsm) offers the highest color gamut and detail. For everyday photo printing, cast coated glossy photo paper (180–230gsm) provides great quality at lower cost. For presentations and documents with embedded images, matte or satin photo paper (100–160gsm) avoids glare and fingerprints.

Q:Which brands and models of printers does this photo paper support? 

A:Our products are compatible with 99% of the printers on the market, such as Epson, Canon, HP, Sawgrass, and so on.

Q:What are the differences between RC coating and cast coated? 

A:RC paper features multiple layers of physical coating, is waterproof and does not curl, making it suitable for high-demand commercial printing; Cast-coated paper has a high cost-performance ratio and is suitable for the mass consumer market.

Q:Will the printed photos fade? How long can they be kept? 

A:Our photo paper has excellent UV protection properties. When used with professional ink, it can be stored indoors for over 10 years, meeting the requirements of archival storage.
