FAQs

What makes this paper 'Baryta'?

It features a genuine 100% barium sulphate layer, which is the traditional coating used in darkroom papers to enhance tonal range and surface quality, replicating the authentic darkroom print experience.

Is this paper suitable for archival purposes?

Yes, it is manufactured with an Alpha-cellulose base and should be suitable for archival printing when stored correctly and protected from environmental factors.

What is the difference between this and other Canson Infinity papers?

This 'BARYTA Photographique II' specifically aims to emulate the classic darkroom baryta print look. Other papers in the Infinity range might offer different surface textures (like smooth, matte, or gloss) and base types (like rag or RC).

Can I use this paper with any inkjet printer?

It is compatible with most pigment and dye-based inkjet printers, but you must confirm your printer can handle a 310gsm paper weight and thickness.

How does the satin finish affect the print?

The subtle satin finish provides a professional look, reducing glare compared to a high gloss paper while still allowing blacks to appear deep and colors to be rich and saturated.

What are the dimensions and quantity in this pack?

This pack contains 25 sheets of A4 size paper.

How should I handle prints made on this paper?

Handle prints carefully, preferably with cotton gloves, to avoid fingerprints and smudges on the baryta surface. Avoid exposing prints to high humidity or direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

Paper Jamming

Ensure the paper is loaded correctly in the manual feed tray, not overloaded, and that the printer's paper guides are set appropriately for the paper width. Try feeding one sheet at a time.

Uneven Ink Coverage or Streaking

Perform a printer head cleaning and alignment. Check that the printer's paper type setting matches 'Baryta' or a similar heavy, coated paper profile. Ensure the ink cartridges are not low.

Color Cast or Muted Colors

Verify that you are using the correct ICC profile for this paper and your printer model. If no specific profile is available, try a generic 'Baryta' or 'Glossy' profile, but custom profiling is recommended for best results.

Ink Not Drying Properly

Allow adequate drying time after printing. Avoid touching the print surface immediately. Ensure your printer's drying settings (if applicable) are optimized for heavier papers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Faithfully reproduces the aesthetic of traditional baryta prints.
  • Delivers superior contrast and tonal range, ideal for fine art photography.
  • High D-Max ensures deep blacks and vibrant colors.
  • Sustainably manufactured Alpha-cellulose base.

Cons

  • The baryta texture might not be suitable for all photographic styles.
  • Comes in a pack of 25 sheets, which may be insufficient for large projects.
  • Requires a printer capable of handling heavier, coated papers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure your inkjet printer is compatible with heavyweight, coated papers. Consult your printer's manual for the maximum paper thickness and weight it can handle. Load the paper according to your printer's instructions, typically in the manual feed tray or a dedicated photo paper slot.

Compatibility: This paper is designed for use with pigment and dye-based inkjet printers. Always perform a test print to ensure optimal color profiles and to check for any feeding issues.

Care: Store unused paper in its original packaging in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and humidity, to prevent yellowing or damage. Handle prints with clean cotton gloves to avoid fingerprint smudges, which can be difficult to remove from the baryta surface. Avoid direct contact with moisture.
