Brief comparison
The RC paper (resin coated) is plastified and very smooth, while the baryta paper is a slightly grainy, fibrous medium.
Our 100% cotton Hahnemühle baryta paper provides deeper blacks and more shades of gray, and an exceptional durability.
The white of baryta paper is warmer than RC paper.
Fujicolor Crystal Archive RC satin paper 230 grams
The photosensitive emulsion is coated on a polyethylene support called RC (Resin Coated) which makes this paper particularly resistant to handling and stable over time.
The print is made from the digital file on real silver photo paper. The Durst Lambda imager uses paper with silver emulsion. The transfer is made directly from the digital file, by exposing the photosensitive support with red, green, and blue laser beams. The paper is then developed in a chemical process, washed and dried. This technology guarantees very high-quality productions and a traditional photographic rendering.
The RC satin paper 230 grams is only available for the format 24 X 30 cm.
HAHNEMÜHLE RAG BARYTA paper 315 grams

The baryta silver paper is covered with a sensitive emulsion and a layer of barium sulfate (or baryte). It is this mineral which allows the whiteness of the paper and moreover, its exceptional durability. This medium soon became the favourite paper for collector's works and exhibitions. Today, paper manufacturers have adapted baryta paper into a modern digital version for inkjet printing. We have chosen the 100% cotton baryta of the legendary brand Hahnemühle.
For this paper, the estimated permanence, coming from the scientific research of the professional laboratory we work with, is 110 years. The permanence of a process is its capacity to resist the progressive erasure of dyes or pigments on a given support, under determined exposure conditions: quality and quantity of light, humidity.
Our Black & White photographs benefit from a special treatment for printing on 315 grams baryta paper. They are printed on a new generation of Fine Art pigment inkjet printers, whose advanced Black & White management (ABW) allows to realize high quality photos with subtle gradations and an incomparable sharpness.
This true art print with very beautiful Black and White rendering allows to obtain a longevity and a richness of values which sublimate the photographs.
