Palo Duro Etching 315 Details & Information
Made from 100% cotton fiber, Palo Duro Etching 315 gives you the classic look of a fine photographic art print. The surface adds just the right amount of texture to your print and will not distract from the details you worked so hard to capture. This OBA-free

For many years, cotton art papers were emulsion coated for darkroom printing. The result is sublime - an elegant surface texture and sophisticated hand-feel. With modern inkjet coating, your prints will have a powerful impact and are sure to please.
Palo Duro Etching 315 is a natural white paper. This is because we do not add any chemicals that make paper look bright white. The whites of your image are going to take on an elegant, warmer look. This is a benefit for images of nature, skin tones, landscapes, rich black & whites and artwork reproductions.
You will be amazed that a matte paper can make luxurious deep blacks. The secret is a barrier coat between the paper and inkjet receiving layer. Ink stays locked into the inkjet coating and cannot sink into the paper base. The results are luxurious deep blacks.
This means a museum curator would be comfortable putting this paper on display. The keys to museum quality are 100% cotton fiber, acid-free, lignin-free, and optical brightener (OBA) free.

Best Paper for Artist
Michael Adkins, Aug 21, 2026
I have used this paper for years exclusively. In my testing of papers in the past, nothing compares to the deep contrast I can get out of Palo Duro Ething 315. I have said to all my fellow artists and students, it's not the printer; it's the paper. Last year I switched from my Canon Pro Printer to the Epson ECO TANK ET-8550 and did a lot of testing between the two. I could not find any difference in quality or print contrast. Both produced rich, deep blacks and rich colors. But the ET-8550 is so economical to print. And its transport handles the heavy weight of the PALO DURO ETCHING 315 Paper. I highly recommend this combination.

I have been using Palo Douro Etching paper for several years to print my original digital art. It is the best paper for my work. Although I have in the past tried other similar papers. Sydell Lewis
