There are a variety of photo printing jobs that require careful selection in terms of printing ink and of course, photo paper.
Premium luster photo paper is the photo paper of choice for use in color print jobs that require the highest quality grade. It is a preferred photo paper in commercial photo labs, used in printing important photos like commercial shoots, exhibition photos and product shots where the most vivid and high saturation of colors are a must.
Premium luster photo paper achieves the result of high-quality pictures printed on traditional silver halide emulsion photo papers (when negative prints were in use) - bright, life-like images and highly textured image details.
Aside from commercial photography, premium luster photo papers are best recommended for printing wedding photos, family and personal portraits, as well as school photographs.
Professional photographers have a few tips in choosing the best grade premium luster photo paper from the many variety available today. These include enhanced 2880 dots per inch (dpi) printing rendition to ensure high image quality, the optimum grade luster, which is E, instant or quick-dry surface, and at least 10-millimeter thickness for durability and longer storage.
Environmental elements like dust and moisture as well as humidity and the condition of the storage medium will definitely have an effect on the quality of printed photographs after long-term storage. High-grade photo papers like premium luster photo papers are meant to minimize the effect of time-induced damage on prints.
