This 50" x 50' roll of Canson Infinity Baryta Photographique II Matte Roll 50x50paper has an extremely smooth surface with a matte finish which, due to the lack of grain interference, accentuates the detail in the printed image. The matte surface also has no light reflection from any viewing angle, ideal for photographers or artists that wish to display their final work.

Although Baryta Photographique II Matte is classed as a digital darkroom photo paper, it should be printed using matte black ink as opposed to photo black ink. With an extremely high D-Max, or black density, equivalent to that of a digital fine art matte paper, the paper offers exceptional contrast and depth, as well as colors with vibrancy and intensity.

The paper has the same true barium sulfate layer (baryta) as Baryta Photographique II and benefits from the improved handling of the paper introduced in the second generation of this digital darkroom paper. Baryta Photographique II Matte is made on a traditional photographic alpha-cellulose base, which adds to the authentic feel of a darkroom paper.

The Canson Infinity Baryta Photographique II Matte offers photographers and printmakers a unique aesthetic and feel.

Q: 5. does this paper fold without cracking? I would like to use it for a long concertina book and have been trying to find an art paper that won't crack when folded?

A: The problem you're having is that you want to fold against the paper's grain, as I assume your long length is coming out of the 50' dimension of the roll. Any inkjet paper will crack to some degree. You should be able to mitigate this by scoring the paper before folding, using a tool designed for such (google: paper scoring tool), or in a pinch use a ruler and paper clip. You want to put the score on the side of the paper away from direction of fold (not on the inside the fold).Alternatively, you could consider getting a 36 or 44 roll and cutting the strip you want to inkjet out of this roll (assuming 36 or 44 would be long enough for your brochure?). This would mean you'd be folding with the paper's grain anyway, though you'd probably still want to score the paper before folding anyway just to help.

Q: 6. Is curling and then flattening required when using this paper as rolls instead of cut sheets?

A: The Canson Infinity Baryta Prestige II Glossy Paper (17" x 50' Roll) does not have excessive curling after printing so flattening is usually not required.

Q: 7. Has anyone been able to compare prints on these papers with the glossy/satin versions?

A: For photos that are going to be moved around, matte will be better. Not only is it less sensitive when it comes to fingerprints, it's also more resistant to light and doesn't create any reflection. Images with dark tones will have much more contrast.

Q: 8. Is the Baryta any easier to de-curl and dry mount than the rolls of Canson Platine? It’s the same weight but 1mm thinner.

A: The 1mm thickness difference in the Canson Infinity Baryta Photographique II paper roll will give you marginal differences in curling.

Q: 10. After printing on this paper, do you use any kind of finisher or sealant to protect the print? If it matters, I'll be using an Epson surecolor printer and manufacturer pigments.

A: It is not necessary to use any finisher or sealant to ensure longevity of a print printed on the Canson Infinity Baryta Photographique II paper. If you plan on having this displayed uncovered for a long period of time, you may want to use something. But for most standard usage this is not necessary.
