C-TYPE PAPER FINISHES
Images are printed on Fuji and Kodak silver-halide papers. Besides the superior color reproduction these prints have excellent ozone resistance to ensure superior light fastness (resistance to fading). We offer the following c-type paper finishes:
C-Type Classic
Luster
Fuji Crystal Archive Paper / Kodak Endura Paper
Not quite matte and not quite glossy. Luster (also referred to as Satin) has excellent color saturation without the "sheen" that can be a hindrance in glossy print finishes.
Glossy
Fuji Crystal Archive Paper / Kodak Endura Paper
A very reflective/high sheen finish with maximum saturation. Good when high color saturation is a must.
C-Type Specialty
Kodak Metallic
Kodak Endura Metallic Paper / Fuji Pearl (metallic)
Described by many photographers as a "chrome on paper" effect. Kodak metallic prints offer a rich, distinctive metallic (pearlescent/iridescent) look that catches the eye. It works especially well on images with strong contrast and/or black and white images. An Appilicious favorite!
GICLÉE PAPER FINISHES
