Love the texture of that second paper. Crazy how much science there is in something seemingly so simple as paper!! Have a great weekend. Happy Father's Day everyone!!
I’m excited to see you finally tried RR paper. My absolute favorite is the Palo Duro Baryta Fiber 300. I use canon printers and there is no instructions from RR to adjust ink density. My black tones are always deep and rich. The paper does suffer from a fragile surface on the initial print though, I allow at least 7 days for it to properly cure and dry, after that the surface is comparable to other baryta papers. It’s a gorgeous and versatile paper. Also, it falls on the slightly warmer side, which I prefer. It’s also incredible on rendering color images, like I said very versatile.
Thanks for these videos, Keith., and please keep them coming. There are relatively few helpful resources when it comes to selecting papers. Sample packs are ok, but making an informed decision saves time and money.
Nicely done. I've gone down the rabbit hole comparing papers so this was interesting. I also, really like the Moab Juniper for black and white and recently did a print comparing it with the Canson Infinity Plantine and could not tell any difference whatsoever. I love the Red River Soft Gloss Rag and the Red River Palo Duro Baryta Probably my absolute favorite is the Hahnemule photo rag baryta and the photo rag pearl but only use those for large and very special prints.
So helpful!!!! Thank you for the comparison.
Thanks for watching! I'm glad it was useful!

Yes! In some cases 400-year-old mills doing cutting edge science in this. And it has to be consistent all the time
Happy Father’s Day buddy!

Thanks for that additional information! I’ll be working with these papers more in the future for sure!

Thanks Bart! I’m glad you’re finding these paper comparisons useful!
Palo Duro Soft Gloss is so under the radar. Versatile too.

I haven't tried the photo rag pearl yet -- it sounds like I should! Thanks for the very helpful comments.
LOVE the Big Palo Duro Baryta Fiber 300 .. I shoot about 90% B+W and find it reminds me a bit of the old Kodak Medalist darkroom paper :)
also dont sleep on the RR arctic polar lustre for 5x7 or smaller color prints it is pretty amazing
I need to try that
I may have missed it in the video, what printer are you using?
I use a 17” Epson SC P5000.
Palo Duro SoftGloss Rag is my favourite paper for most printing.
It is a beautiful paper for sure. Thanks for commenting.
I use this for make art ;)
Red River might make lovely papers but in Europe they won't fly because you are only taken seriously if you're printing on Hahnemühle.
Well the Hahnemühle papers are darn nice but they aren’t the only ones for sure
