Resin Coated Photo Paper

PLUSES:
Ultra write
Waterproof, the base of your images won't ripple if they get wet, as it has a resin coated base.
Quick-dry, unique ink absorption technology called Micro Porous will save your time.
Your images will last for a long time because the paper has good light stability.
Perfect colour saturation will offer you brilliant and full-colour output
The paper is resistant to tears and kinks.
As the resin coated base is the same as that used for traditional photographs it gives your

images a real "photographic feel".

High Glossy Photo Paper

PLUSES:
Instant dry
Ultra-white
Water-resistant
Compatible with all kinds of modern inkjet printers
Can be handled immediately after printing.
The heavier base weight gives it the feel of a real photograph.

MINUSES:
All high glossy media suffers from fading to a certain degree.

Matte Coated Paper

PLUSES:
Your prints will dry quickly as the ink is absorbed into the paper pulp.
You can use the paper on a wide range of printers due to the minimal interaction between the ink and the receiving layer.
Even large particles (i.e. the pigment used to make black ink) will be absorbed into the paper.

MINUSES:
Your prints will not last as long due to poor light stability.
Your prints will not feel like real photographs due to the light paper base.
Your image will lose its brilliant look quickly because the ink is absorbed directly into the paper pulp.
The paper is not tear-resistant and is prone to crinkle.
Now that you know the differences between the three types of media how do you know which type of paper you are buying?
