Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Natural Smooth 310 different from textured fine art papers?
▼
Natural Smooth 310 features an smooth matte surface rather than a textured finish. This makes it ideal for high-resolution images, detailed work, landscapes, and smooth tonal transitions where texture may otherwise distract from the image.
Is Natural Smooth 310 suitable for black & white printing?
▼
Yes. Natural Smooth 310 excels in black & white printing, offering deep blacks, excellent shadow separation, and very smooth mid-tone transitions.
Does Natural Smooth 310 contain optical brighteners (OBA’s)?
▼
No. Natural Smooth 310 is completely OBA-free, ensuring true archival stability and consistent colour over time without the risk of fading or colour shift.
Do I need special ICC profiles?
▼
Generic ICC profiles are available for Natural Smooth 310 and will work for most users. For critical colour work,
we recommend a bespoke profile for your specific printer and ink combination.
