Product Information

Full details

Designed for professional photographers, graphic artists, and print labs, PermaJet Instant Dry Oyster (APJ50912) offers a traditional photographic feel with a professional 271gsm lustre finish. Its primary benefit is the combination of an instant-dry resin coating and a UV-protected microporous supercoat, which ensures archival-quality results with exceptional water and fade resistance. One caveat is that users must ensure their printer settings are calibrated for a 271gsm heavy-weight media to achieve optimal ink density and avoid potential feed issues.

FAQs

Is this paper compatible with pigment inks?

Yes, PermaJet Instant Dry Oyster is fully compatible with both pigment-based and dye-based ink systems.

Does this paper have a glossy finish?

No, it features a lustre/pearl finish which is semi-gloss, providing a professional texture that reduces reflection.

What is the weight of this paper?

This paper has a base weight of 271gsm, which is considered a heavy-weight professional photo stock.

How should I store the paper to maintain quality?

Keep it in its original packaging in a cool, dry environment with temperatures between 10-30 °C and humidity levels between 30-75%.

Is this paper suitable for black and white prints?

Yes, the low metamerism index makes it an excellent choice for consistent black and white monochrome printing.

Does it require special ICC profiles?

For the most accurate color reproduction, using a specific ICC profile for this paper is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Printer refusing to pull the paper

Ensure the paper thickness setting in the printer driver is set to 'Heavy' or 'Cardstock' to increase the feed roller grip.

Colors appear dull or inaccurate

Ensure you are using the correct ICC profile for PermaJet Oyster in your printing software and that color management is not being applied twice.

Ink smearing immediately after printing

Verify that your printer driver settings match the paper type; setting the paper type to 'Plain Paper' will cause excess ink loading.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent archival properties due to UV protection
  • Instant-dry surface improves workflow efficiency
  • High-quality, heavy 271gsm base weight
  • Versatile performance for both B&W and color prints

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best results, configure your printer software to 'Heavyweight' or 'Photo Paper' settings, specifically selecting a media weight of at least 271gsm. This prevents the printer from over-saturating the paper and ensures the feed mechanism handles the stock correctly. The paper is fully compatible with all modern desktop inkjet printers using dye or pigment inks. For storage, keep the paper in its original packaging at a temperature between 10-30 °C and a relative humidity of 30-75% to prevent curling or moisture absorption. Always handle prints by the edges to prevent skin oils from interfering with the microporous coating.
