Do Polar Metallic papers work with all inkjet printers?
Yes, they are for any desktop and wide format printer that uses aqueous inks. Examples are Epson, Canon, and HP.
What is the surface like?
If you've never seen a photo lab metallic print you will likely enjoy the look. Think of a high gloss or luster surface with a pleasing slightly warm tone. Overall, images have a glow almost like light is coming from the paper. Now imagine that the solid colors and white space in your image take on an extra effect that mixes metallic hints and pearlescent colorful reflections.
Is this like photo lab paper?
Yes, they are resin coated (RC) papers. They look and feel like their photo lab (C4/wet chemistry) counterparts from Kodak and Fuji.
Are their any markings on the back of the paper?
No.
Can I print on the back of Polar Metallic papers?
No, inkjet ink will not dry. We also do not recommend writing on the back of these papers.
What types of images look good on this surface?
Polar Metallic papers will add luminescence and depth to any image. Images with solid colors, reflections, and negative space (whites) will look especially stunning on this new paper.
Here are some examples. Each has notations about parts of the image that would look particularly interesting on the Metallic surface.
