Red River Palo Duro SoftGloss Rag 315
Red River Palo Duro SoftGloss Rag 315
Red River Palo Duro SoftGloss Rag 315 is a museum-grade photographic paper. It is made from 100% cotton rag. This Palo Duro SoftGloss paper looks like a traditional darkroom print. It combines color, detail, and longevity from modern pigment inkjet printing.
The lightly textured soft-gloss surface provides a gentle sheen without the strong reflections of a conventional glossy paper. This gives finished photographs a rich, refined appearance while retaining subtle surface character.
The paper reproduces deep blacks, smooth gray tones, and saturated colors. This is one of its strengths. A barrier layer prevents ink from sinking too deeply. This keeps blacks dense. It also maintains strong contrast and detail.
Palo Duro SoftGloss Rag has a warm white base. It contains no optical brightening agents (OBAs). This gives photographs a more natural appearance. It differs from very bright white photographic papers. This paper is great for black-and-white photography. It also suits portraits, landscapes, and fine art reproductions.
At 315 gsm and 16.5 mil thick, it is a substantial heavyweight paper. It has the feel expected from a premium photographic print. The cotton base and coating are acid-free. The paper is lignin-free. It is FOGRA certified to ISO 9706 paper-aging standards. This makes it suitable for conservation-grade and museum-quality printing.
