Meeting Pro and Enthusiast Needs

Compatible with any inkjet printer, Arctic Polar Luster fits an important niche for professional photographers.  Increasingly, pros and enthusiasts require a high-end photo feel product that combines quality and consistent usability.  Unlike many of the new boutique photo papers flooding the market, this Luster will feed consistently, withstand handling, show minimal fingerprinting, and offer cost savings.

Deep luster (E-surface) offers the perfect balance for pigment ink printers. You get the best of both worlds:

1) Wonderful color saturation of a microporous paper

2) Greatly minimized gloss differential and bronzing associated with glossy media

Thanks to the microporous layer on the top of Arctic Polar Luster, large quantities of ink (read deeply saturated hues and blacks) will dry instantly. This means no smudging and minimal fingerprint troubles.
