Description

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.

BIG BEN BARYTA
I TRIED 4 DIFFERENT RED RIVER PAPERS AND BBB WAS THE BEST FOR MY APPLICATION. UNFORTUNATELY IT DOESN'T COME 13X38. IT STILL WORKS FOR MY 13X19 WALL PRINTS. THE FINISH OF THIS PAPER IS SUPERB AND THE COLOR POPS AT YOU. THE DROPLETS DON'T BLEED INCREASING DEPTH OF DETAIL. IT'S ALMOST LIKE 3D. I TRIED SATIN PAPER, LUSTER AND MATTE (WHICH BY THE WAY WAS THE BEST MATTE EVER) AND ALL WERE GREAT PAPERS. BBB WAS JUST THAT MUCH BETTER. MY WIFE IS AN ARTIST AND EVEN SHE GAVE HER APPROVAL, NO EASY TASK BY THE WAY. IF YOU WANT TO DISPLAY YOUR PHOTOS ON THE WALL LOOK NO FURTHER THAN BIG BEN BARYTA.

Custom test print from the paper turned out fantastic!

First time w Baryta

Dan Bartell, May 11, 2026

Not having a lot of experience with different papers, I’ve come to understand how diverse the feel and ambience of a photo can be depending on the paper you use. The Red River Big Bend 310 Baryta was terrific! I wouldn’t hesitate to use it when my current stock of Hahnemühle Rag runs out.

Beautiful Paper

Nicholas DePasquale, May 11, 2026

I have changed my approach for exhibiting photos. I've gone from 12 x 18 and 10 x 15 prints and nice wood frames with 6 ply mattes to 16 x 24 prints mounted on gator board. I could not be happier with the results. I needed the larger 17 x 25 paper and the 310 weight for mounting on the self-adhesive gator board. The Big Bend Baryta was easy to print on - using the RR ICC profile. What I saw on my screen is what I got on the printer with no adjustments. The colors are spectacular as is the very fine detail in the image. I am currently exhibiting photos from Cuba and I am receiving tremendous reviews on the quality of the prints. Here is what they look like hanging in the gallery: https://youtu.be/L24YckbuNX0 Here is the exhibit and photos: https://nickdepasqualephotography.com/?page_id=43309 I also, test printed on 8 1/2 x 11 and after the first few prints, i didn't have to test any longer. I just went back and looked at those tests and they are spectacular. Thanks RR!!!
