Fine Digital Printmaking Papers
Light Capture Photography offers a wide selection of papers and canvas. This wide selection gives you the ability to match a specific paper type with your image. When choosing a paper or canvas type, it is important to consider the content of the image and the feeling or message you are conveying and use the paper or canvas that best complements the image.
Coated Paper Choices
Epson Professional Photo Papers
Epson Premium Gloss and Luster are made to give the highest resolution and color saturation possible. These papers are very bright white. Gloss produces the cleanest, sharpest reproductions with the widest color range but are quite reflective. Luster is the most popular paper among Epson-printing photographers; it has a very slight visible texture/sheen and is much less reflective than Gloss paper with the same wide color range. Photos printed on these papers have a lab-print appearance. Good for photograhy exhibition and portfolio prints. (Not recommended for reproduction of artworks.)
Hahnemühle Fine Art Pearl
A beautiful paper... slightly warm/off-white with a satiny-gloss finish. Very thick base; feels like traditional darkroom paper. Color reproduction and sharpness is excellent.
Matte Paper Choice
Hahnemühle Photo Rag
Perfect for giclee prints of artworks created in traditional mediums. Matte finish gives photographs a nice painterly look. Good sharpness and color reproduction with slightly less-dense blacks than photo papers. Very artsy. Highly recommended for reproduction of traditional art, especially pastels, watercolors and acrylics on board.
Epson Enhanced Matte
For customers seeking a flat matte surface, EPSON Enhanced Matte Paper is an ideal choice. This bright white paper is perfect for images that do not require gloss. It yields highly saturated images, while maintaining excellent highlight and shadow detail. Hobbyists, professional photographers and digital artists alike will find EPSON Ehanced Matte Paper a remarkable solution for any project.
Fine Art Canvas Choices
Breathing Color Brilliance Chromata Canvas
An excellent choice for photography and fine art reproduction. Bright white, super-durable surface. D-max and color reproduction are excellent. Water resistant; when coated with Museum Giclee Veneer, you could safely wipe the print clean with a damp cloth. Brilliance Chromata is capable of producing the most beautiful prints on canvas you'll find.
Epson PremierArt Canvas
Less expensive, glossier and not as white as Brilliance Chromata. Has a pronounced canvas texture that is more noticeable in the print. Holds ink very well, water-resistant, super-durable surface.
