Product Information

Full details

The PermaJet Instant Dry Oyster (Pearl) finish paper is designed for photographers and graphic artists seeking a traditional, high-quality photographic feel with modern digital printing capabilities. Its key benefit is the combination of instant drying, water resistance, and fade resistance, providing durable and vibrant prints. A potential consideration is its specific 33cm width, which may require specific printer setups for certain applications. This 271gsm paper offers a subtle pearl/lustre finish, a heavy base weight for a true photographic texture, and compatibility with both dye and pigment inks.

FAQs

What is the difference between Oyster and Pearl finish?

Oyster and Pearl are terms often used interchangeably to describe a subtle, low-glare sheen on photo paper, offering a classic photographic look without the high reflectivity of gloss papers.

Can I use this paper with any inkjet printer?

This paper is designed for inkjet printers that can accommodate 33 cm wide roll media. Check your printer's specifications for roll paper compatibility.

Is this paper suitable for archival printing?

Yes, the paper features a UV-protected microporous supercoat that provides high resistance to fading and water, making it suitable for archival purposes when prints are stored and displayed properly.

How should I store the paper before printing?

Store unused paper in its original packaging in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and humidity.

What are the dimensions of the paper?

The paper comes on a roll that is 33 cm in width and 10 meters in length.

Does this paper work with pigment inks?

Yes, the PermaJet Instant Dry Oyster paper is fully compatible with both dye-based and pigment-based inks.

Can I print black and white photos on this paper?

Absolutely. The paper is designed to portray both color and black & white images beautifully, with excellent tonal range and low metamerism.

Troubleshooting

Printer not feeding the roll paper correctly

Ensure the roll is loaded securely in the printer's roll feeder and that the paper guides are adjusted to the correct width. Check your printer's manual for specific instructions on loading roll media.

Prints have smudges or streaks

Although the paper is instant dry, ensure you are not touching the printed surface before it has fully adhered. Check your printer's print head for clogs and perform a cleaning cycle if necessary. Ensure printer driver settings are optimized for photo paper.

Color reproduction appears inaccurate

Ensure you are using the correct paper profile in your print driver or RIP software. Calibrate your monitor and printer for the most accurate color matching. Verify that your printer is set to use the appropriate ink type (dye or pigment).

Paper curling after printing

This can sometimes occur with heavier papers. Allow prints to rest flat on a surface for a few minutes after printing. If persistent, consider using a paper straightener or a heavier weight paper if available for your specific needs.
