Description
Made from 100% cotton rag, 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 archival paper is ideal for museum quality and conservation grade prints.
Why "Art" Paper for Photography?
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.
Warmer White Paper
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.
Deep Blacks
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.
Museum Grade
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.

* Always display inkjet prints under glass, plastic or in a book for maximum print life.
OBAs are a class of chemicals added to paper to make it appear "whiter" to your eye. These brighteners work by absorbing UV light and re-emitting light in the blue region. OBAs breakdown over time and allow the true, more natural shade of paper to emerge - thus yellowing will occur.
OBA breakdown does not affect the life of an inkjet print. However, the changing shade of the base paper will become more noticable over time.

Papers with Low OBA Content
Papers with low OBAs will shift in color slightly over a long period of time. The best way to minimize any OBA shift is to protect prints under UV resistant glass.
