Best Photo Inkjet Paper for Aviation Photography
This one is a no-brainer! Photo metallic inkjet paper is the clear choice for printing aviation photography. Its pearlescent reflective quality will enhance the sleek lines and metallic surfaces of aircraft.
High gloss papers are also a good choice as they enhance saturation and sharpness. Usually bright white, glossy paper reproduces the deep blues and stark whites of clouds and sky.
For extra protection from handling and fingerprints, consider using a bright white satin photo paper like UltraPro Satin. You will get the same saturation and tonal depth as a gloss.
For photography of vintage aircraft, or if you want a fine art vibe from your prints, choose a fiber based baryta like Big Bend Baryta 310. This type of paper looks and feels just like a darkroom print from the old days. It offers awesome saturation, tonal range, and black density.
