Introducing

Fotospeed Platinum Etching Cotton 310

Building on the legacy of the much-loved Platinum Etching 285, Fotospeed proudly introduces Platinum Etching Cotton 310 – a premium upgrade designed for artists, photographers, and printmakers who demand the very best in fine art printing.

This next-generation paper takes everything creators valued in Platinum Etching 285 and elevates it with a 100% cotton base and an OBA-free formulation, delivering even greater archival stability and longevity.

With its refined fine textured matt surface and natural white base, Platinum Etching Cotton 310 provides the perfect foundation for Giclée printing, exhibitions, fine art reproduction, and professional portfolios.

Thanks to a state-of-the-art ink-receiving layer, it achieves:

• Vivid tones and a wide colour gamut for expressive, lifelike prints.
• Deep, rich blacks (high D-MAX) and pin-sharp detail for maximum impact.
• True archival stability (no optical brighteners) for long-term beauty.
• Art Sure Approved
• Approved by the Fine Art Trade Guild, this paper guarantees a print life of over 85 years with pigment inks.

“Print, for me, is the final journey of any image. It’s the culmination of vision, craft, and emotion — the moment where a photograph becomes truly tangible.”

Working with Fotospeed to further develop this signature paper has been an immensely rewarding experience. Their dedication to innovation and quality aligned perfectly with my own desire to create prints that not only embody artistic intent but also stand the test of time.

Pushing the archival qualities of paper has always been at the forefront of my mind. The Platinum Etching Cotton 310, being 100% cotton and OBA free, represents the final piece to my printing puzzle. It allows me to offer collectors and admirers a print that carries with it the assurance of longevity, authenticity, and permanence.
