Adorama Paper

[Guest]

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

I'm trying to remember where I saw an article about some sort of "mirror
finish" photo paper that is made by, or is sold by, Adorama. But I can't
find anything about it on the Adorama site, and I can't find it in my
magazines lying around. Does anyone have a clue on this?

I don't know specifically about this paper. Many papers are rebranded
to store brands, but are usually made by larger companies. The one
mirror surface paper I know of (and I don't mean it has a metalic look,
but that the surface is very reflective/glossy) is one made by
Konica/Minolta and it is sold under several names.

I was told in the US that is may be sold by Office Depot as a high gloss
inkjet paper.

The Konica Inkjet Paper is a micropore design, and with dye inks on
Epson printers makes a very nice image. I believe it is called Konica
QP Photo Glossy. There is a heavier-weight version called Professional
Photo Glossy. It is sold under a number of other names.

I just looked at the url you suggested, and the paper is indeed silver
backed, like some of the Kodak color photo papers. The Konica paper I
wrote about is not the same. There was a point that Ilfochrome photo
paper used a polyester plastic backing that was whipped with air to give
it a almost pearlesence quality, and I really liked the results. I have
also seen Kodak's "metallic" papers and for some images the paper give
the image a very special quality.

Sounds like it could be interesting to experiment with.
