Big Bend Baryta (tell me more about the name) offers all of the rich tonality, depth, and feel of a traditional darkroom print. The paper has a elegantly smooth finish and subtle reflectivity. Big Bend has a pleasant neutral white tone imparted by a 100% barium sulphate (baryta) layer.

"Old School" indeed
I am astonished at how close this paper matches what I used to produce in the wet darkroom era. I dug out several old photos from around 1988-89 (probably Ilford B&W, though I can't remember which; hey, it was a looong while ago) and compared it to my results from Big Bend: it looked identical, right down to the texture of the surface. I am extremely pleased with the results.

Big Bend Baryta

Brad Bealmear, May 26, 2026

I'm a huge fan of this beautiful paper. I've bought at least a couple of dozen boxes and will continue - it's the standard for my BW series "New Mexico Wanderings." Couldn't ask for more.


Really like this paper

Linda VanArtsdalen, May 23, 2026

I am very happy with this paper. I wanted my photographs to have the feel of a semi gloss photograph and this paper delivers. After seeing the results I was looking for on the sample, I ordered a larger quantity. I have several projects to print and am really liking the results. It prints well with the color I am looking for.
