THE BENEFITS OF BARYTA

Baryta is a special coating, which is traditionally applied to fibre photographic paper base prior to coating with the emulsion layers. What are the advantages of using Baryta coated fibre papers?

• Greater detail and definition. The Baryta layer prevents the emulsion layer soaking into the fibre base and enhances detail and printed blacks.
• Extended tonal range, whiter whites, deeper blacks. Baryta coating enhances the whiteness of the base and combined with deeper blacks gives an enhanced tonal range, with greater detail in the shadows and highlights.
• More desirable look and feel. Baryta coated fibre papers have a unique look and feel, which have become the standard for fine art photographers worldwide.
• Excellent archival qualities. The chemically stable substrate, proven over a century of real world use, prevents image degradation. Baryta fibre papers are the benchmark for archival photographic images.

Along with a distinctive gloss finish, Harman FB AL features a subtlety textured surface. Among the other fibre glossy papers recently introduced, our customers have commented that the Harman indeed "pulls it off" in terms of look, feel, and perhaps most importantly scuff resistance.

While website photography is not the perfect way to express the touch and feel of a paper, we hope the photos below give you a sense of this paper's character.
