Introduction

Photography is an immortal work in print. The beauty lies in the fact that pictures are more effective than words. A simple sketch or a portrait or a click can create that effect you have been struggling to communicate with. Over the years, photography has gained significance because of its creativity, effectiveness, and style. With advanced technology in place, people have turned to recording moments through pictures. However, a photo will remain a photo until you graph it on a surface. Hence, understanding various aspects of photography and Photo paper is essential.

Photo Paper Essentials


When choosing a photo paper, the following need to be considered:

  • The choice of the printer

  • Photo Paper Finish

  • Photo Paper Quality

  • Photo Paper Weight



  • The Choice of the Printer: Choosing the right printer is a crucial step in printing images. While the laser printer is excellent for office use, it cannot give desired results for printing pictures. Hence, the recommended printers for photos are Inkjet or Dye-Sublimation or Thermal printers. 


  • Inkjet Printers: Using a printer cartridge, which creates an image of 300 x 300 dpi, Inkjet printers work in controlled action.


  • Dye-Sub Printers: Also known as thermal printers, they print images through heat. When the heat is applied, the ink on the ribbons vaporizes forming an image. This is why it is called sublimation. However, these printers print at 5760 x 1440 dpi with millions of different colors.


  • Photo Paper Finish: Photo Papers are an ideal way to evaluate the finishing of your art. There are many ways to choose a photo paper, depending upon the resolution, size and the texture of the image. Main types of photo papers offered by VMS Cart include:


  • Glossy: As the name suggests, glossy paper will have shine on one side. It produces rich and vibrant colors and hence, it is not advisable to use a glossy print for black and white image. 

  • Matte: Matte finish photo papers are smudge-proof, are resistant to fingerprints, and are primarily used for industrial use. 

  • Canvas: Used to display artsy images of professional photographers, Canvas photo papers are similar to matte finish. However, they are more color efficient.

  • Art: An art photo paper gives a classic textured look to the image and is used by photographers. 

  • Pearl and Luster: These are satin-like papers with a textured feel, combining both the matte as well as satin photo papers. 

  • Metallic: They are more appealing and dimensional in nature and are used by high-end users.


Each photo paper offered by VMS Cart is used for a specific application. The finish surface of a photo paper mainly depends upon the resolution, archival properties, instant dry-to-touch, and other quality parameters.
