Satin - The most popular inkjet paper in the world

Today, the satin surface is the most popular type of photo inkjet paper. You may hear it called satin, luster, pearl, or even its technical name, the "E-Surface".

Why is Luster / Satin so popular?

Handling – The light texture is great at resisting fingerprints, dirt, etc.

Viewing - The satin surface breaks up reflections and glare, making viewing from all angles easy.

Familiarity - Photo labs use this surface for most prints. A satin inkjet print looks and feels more like a "traditonal" photo to any viewer.


With Red River Paper, you've got three of these great papers to choose from
.

Each has a unique character that will help make your prints look their best.
