Deep Blacks
The secret to deep blacks is a barrier coat between the paper and inkjet receiving layer. Ink stays locked into the soft gloss layer and cannot sink into the paper base. The results are luxurious deep blacks. We think that Ansel Adams would be stunned by what Palo Duro Softgloss Rag can accomplish.
True White Paper
Palo Duro SoftGloss Rag is almost perfectly neutral white. This means that the inkjet paper tone is neither warm nor cool. The whites of your image are true white and only take on tone if you add it to the image file during editing.
