Without further ado, let’s dive into our most popular paper options; and remember, you are always welcome to meet with our print team to see samples and talk through your options.
Archival Matte Paper
Our archival matte paper is a popular choice for many artists, especially those who are just starting out with art prints. The smooth, matte finish makes it a versatile option for any type of artwork; however, it is especially popular among digital artists as the bright white finish maintains the vibrancy of colors from screen to paper. It is also our most affordable option, starting at just $2.50 for a 5x7 print.
Cold Press Paper
If you’re looking for something with more of a textured matte finish, the cold press paper is a great option; especially for watercolor artists. The rough, toothy surface mimics traditional cold press watercolor paper, giving these prints the same look and feel as original paintings. 5x7 prints start at $3.25.
“I love the cold pressed paper and so do my customers. I often display originals alongside the prints and customers are so impressed by the quality - they can barely tell them apart!” - Sheyla Stevens @sstevensart
Hahnemuhle Photo Rag Ultra Smooth Paper
Our Hahnemuhle photo rag paper is a luxurious option with an ultra-smooth, silky matte finish. This paper is an excellent choice for all kinds of fine art reproductions and photography. The premium coating maintains exceptional color vibrancy and allows for a very deep black; making this the best option for black and white photography. This paper starts at $5.25 for a 5x7 print.
Hahnemuhle Bamboo Paper
The Hahnemuhle matte bamboo paper is a fantastic eco-friendly option, made of 90% bamboo fibers and 10% cotton. The natural, warm tone of the bamboo is particularly well-suited for monochrome prints and artwork with warm tones. Additionally, its lightly textured surface makes it a great option for watercolor artists looking for slightly less texture than the cold press paper. Bamboo prints start at $3.50 for 5x7 prints.
Glossy Photo Paper
Our glossy photo paper is an excellent choice for photographers of all kinds. With its smooth, high-gloss finish, this paper produces rich, vivid colors and easily captures all the sharp details in photos. Prints on our glossy paper start at $2.50 for 5x7 inches.
