In general, there are three main types of inkjet photo paper available for your printer: Resin Coated Photo Paper, High Glossy Photo Paper, and Matte Coated Paper

Generally, different type of media produces different result of output. The diagrams below show a cross section of the three different papers and underneath we will explain what the differences are between them.

Resin Coated Photo Paper

PLUSES:

• Ultra write
• Waterproof, the base of your images won't ripple if they get wet, as it has a resin coated base.
• Quick dry, unique ink absorption technology called Micro Porous will save your time.
• Your images will last for a long time because the paper has good light stability.
• Perfect color saturation will offer you brilliant and full color output
• The paper is resistant to tears and kinks.
• As the resin coated base is the same as that used for traditional photographs it gives your images a real "photographic feel".

High Glossy Photo Paper

PLUSES :

• Instant dry
• Ultra white
• Water resistant
• Compatible with all kinds of modern inkjet printers
• Can be handled immediately after printing.
• Heavier base weight gives it the feel of a real photograph.

MINUSES :

• All high glossy media suffers from fading to a certain degree.

Matte Coated Paper

PLUSES :

• Your prints will dry quickly as the ink is absorbed into the paper pulp.
• You can use the paper on a wide range of printers due to the minimal interaction between the ink and the receiving layer.
• Even large particles (i.e. the pigment used to make black ink) will be absorbed into the paper.

MINUSES :

• Your prints will not last as long due to poor light stability.
• Your prints will not feel like real photographs due to the light paper base.
• Your image will lose its brilliant look quickly because the ink is absorbed directly into the paper pulp.
• The paper is not tear-resistant and is prone to crinkle.

Now that you know the differences between the three types of media how do you know which type of paper you are buying?
