Most photographers will tell you their choice of paper, based on everything from the surface, weight and other physical properties play a crucial role in the choice for papers. Photo Gloss Baryta is one of these papers that we find high end photographers love. Photographers are not the only fans. TIPA, the Technical Image Press Association just awarded this paper as one of the best.
Founded in 1991, TIPA, consists of a 30-member panel who are publishers in the photo and imaging field. These cover topics ranging from consumer, professional, B2B and of course fine art and photography.

It’s Not Just for Photography
Artists doing fine art reproductions have also gravitated to this paper when seeking a high quality glossy paper to give their images a certain pop not usually associated with a fine art paper.

It has a very glossy surface, that imparts remarkable depth to inkjet prints.
The base is robust and feels of great quality, meeting all industry archival standards. One of the most remarkable aspects is how open the shadows are. Shadows are very well separated and reminiscent of silver gelatin paper.
The tonality is wonderful, with an excellent smooth gray-scale.
