Product Information

Full details

The Permajet Instant Dry Oyster paper is designed for photographers, graphic artists, and photo print labs seeking a professional, true photographic paper texture. Its key benefit is exceptional water and fade resistance due to a UV-protective, microporous super-coat, ensuring long-lasting prints.

FAQs

What is the 'Oyster' finish?

The 'Oyster' finish refers to a subtle pearl or lustre effect, providing a slight sheen that enhances image depth without the high gloss of traditional glossy papers. It offers a professional, photographic feel.

Is this paper suitable for archival printing?

Yes, the paper features a UV-protective, microporous super-coat offering high resistance to water and fading, making it suitable for long-lasting, archival prints when stored correctly.

Can I use this paper with any inkjet printer?

This paper is designed for inkjet printers and is compatible with both dye and pigment inks. Always check your printer's specifications for supported media size (4x6") and weight (271gsm).

How do I get the best color accuracy?

For optimal color accuracy, ensure your monitor is calibrated, use the correct paper profile in your print settings, and select the appropriate paper type in your printer driver. Printing in a controlled lighting environment can also help.

What does 'low metamerism index' mean?

A low metamerism index means that the colors of the print will appear consistent under different lighting conditions, ensuring that your monochrome and color images look the same whether viewed indoors, outdoors, or under artificial light.

How thick is the paper?

The paper has a media thickness of 0.26 µm and a substantial base weight of 271 g/m², giving it a robust and high-quality feel.

Troubleshooting

Paper jams in the printer

Ensure the paper is loaded correctly and not overfilled in the tray. Fan the paper stack before loading to prevent sheets from sticking together. Check for any obstructions within the printer's paper path.

Colors appear dull or inaccurate

Verify that the correct paper type and quality settings are selected in your printer driver. Ensure your monitor is calibrated and your printer's color management settings are appropriate for the paper.

Prints smudge easily

Confirm the paper has had sufficient time to dry completely, although it is 'instant dry'. Avoid touching the printed surface immediately after printing. Check that your printer is not using an ink type that is incompatible with the paper's coating.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Load the Permajet Instant Dry Oyster paper into your inkjet printer's paper tray according to your printer's manual, ensuring the correct side is facing the print head. Use the appropriate paper type setting in your printer driver, often selecting 'Glossy' or 'Photo Paper' with a corresponding weight setting if available.

Compatibility: This paper is fully compatible with most standard inkjet printers that accept 4x6" media and support both dye and pigment inks. Always check your printer's specifications for media type and weight limitations.

Care: To maintain print quality and paper integrity, store unused sheets in their original packaging in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme humidity. Recommended storage conditions are 10-30 °C (50-86 °F) and 30-75% relative humidity. Handle prints by the edges to avoid transferring oils from your fingers.
