Would anyone recommend any other papers? Does anyone still use gloss or metallic?
- Pearl 290gsm
- Matt Ultra 240gsm
- Platinum Baryta 300gsm

Thanks for your input John, custom paper sample packs is a great idea!Hi all,
I know a few people who print their own use use a metallic paper to great effect on B&W photos.
Something that I would be interested in (but might only be me!) is the option for a sample pack where one of your own photos is printed on each of the paper types. The prints wouldn't need to be big, perhaps 6x9 or at most 8x12. Even if you bought a sample pack from Fotospeed, they tend to only have specific types of paper and not a wide range as you have selected. You then have the issues of setting up the icc profiles etc., and with maybe only one sheet in the sample pack, you have to guess the settings for brightness, contrast etc so you might not get the best out of the sample.
Even a week to 10 days would be fine (for me anyway) to receive a sample pack, as I understand you wouldn't always be using each type of paper every day. Note it's not something I would order regularly, maybe once a year at most so it's unlikely to be a best seller for you. I'd likely order a couple initially, one using a colour image and one using a B&W image.Thanks for your input John, custom paper sample packs is a great idea!
With our normal turn around being same or next day would this be something clients would be prepared to wait a little longer for us to turnaround, say 3 days? Just thinking ahead our papers range from 36in to 44in wide so we'd need to work the samples in with our daily print orders to save paper wastage especially as the samples would be approx 7in x 5in or a little larger.
What! you have only just used their service and seen the great quality of their products....I've just received my first print from Trade Canvas Print - delivered early today Monday after having ordered it on Friday. Superb result, better than I expected given it was a grainy B&W film shot slightly post-processed. And so quick. Big thumbs-up from me.
