Photo Gloss Papers

This kind of photo papers best used with the dye-based inks found in inkjet

printers are much improved over what the photographer had to select from

just 10 years ago. The current papers, along with the current dye-based inks,

have much improved display life spans. Images printed today on these

papers and dye-based inks will likely last well over 20 years, with some

claims of over 30. The only problem with these claims is the fact that we

will likely have no recourse in 20 to 30 years if the claims prove to be

erroneous.

The expected life span of these images is no worse than what we can expect

from a print made with a photographic process at your local drug or photo

store. But, if your point is to create a print that will be with your family for

several generations, then this will likely not be the best paper for you.

The problem with these papers is analogous to the non-fibre based

photographic papers we discussed above. The manufacturing process for

paper includes acids. Without the elimination of those acids, the substrates

are doomed to discoloration and fading. Unfortunately, these inkjet papers

cannot be washed for several hours to eliminate those acids, therefore you

must turn to inkjet papers that are acid-free.

Acid Free Papers

Since we already made note that you cannot spend hours washing the

papers that you put through your inkjet printer, you must depend on others

to do the washing for you.

There are numerous third-party paper manufacturers that produce similar

acid-free papers. It is during the manufacturing process that these papers

have been subjected to extended washing and acid-neutralization materials.

These buffering agents, frequently calcium bicarbonate or magnesium

bicarbonate, will build up a buffering reserve in the paper. This reserve is

needed to ensure that the paper maintains its acid-free state after it ships.

Some data indicates that these "alkaline" papers, that is the papers that have

been treated with some form of carbonate, could have a life span of 500 to

1,000 years. This seems likely to be a point that will be of little concern to

the average photographer.

If your printer will accept thicker substrates, there is no need to purchase a

vendor-specific, acid-free paper. The owner’s manual and user guide for your

printer will specify the thickness your printer can handle. You can go to

your local art store and check out its many acid-free papers. These can also

go by the description of “rag paper” or “museum paper.” They may have

varying amounts of linen or cotton and may have any number of finishes

to their surface. Depending on what effect you are looking for with your

picture, this is an alternative to the printer vendor's papers. You might find

a paper that you like, but it is sized larger than the print you plan to create.

In this case, you must get it professionally cut to size, which incurs yet

another cost.

This is the crux of creating your own photographic history. Without these

papers, in conjunction with a printer that uses pigmented inks, your images

stand diminished chances of passing into history intact.
