What is Baryta?

Big Bend Baryta's whiteness comes from a special barium sulfate variant called blanc-fixe, which means permanent white. This material is in the coating. It is inert and lends stability to the paper's whiteness over time. The coating and base materials are free of acid, lignin, and fluorescent brightening agents. Big Bend Baryta 310 gives you all you need for true exhibition quality photographic prints.

I love the paper for bw. However it could be just a little thinner than 310. Sometimes it is hard to feed.

A truly beautiful paper, but it curls

David Feingold, Jul 30, 2026

This is a beautiful paper: excellent reproduction for both color and B&W. It has enough heft to be taken seriously. I have used it for exhibitions in Paris, Bangkok, Siem Reap, Phnom Penh, and MSU. It is fine if it is properly mounted, but can develop quite bad curling.

This paper meets all the criteria of my needs in range of hues and contrast. I love the papers' weight for handling as well as giving it a durable feel.


BIG BEND BARYTA 310 for BW on Canon Pro-200s

Carlan Tapp, Jul 06, 2026

Beautiful surface paper. Printing only BW. Used the profile with Lightroom, Canon print driver using the suggested Photo Paper Pro Platinum and finally Photo Paper Pro Luster. (both with the proper BW settings) My personal testing was a slight magenta tone in the midtones with the first two tests. Using the Photo Paper Pro Luster with a slight correction in print driver produced good results for neutral bw print.
