Thank you for the message. It is a beatiful paper and so groundbreaking. Enjoy the prints :)

Hi. I am not familiar with Canon papers as I use Canson. If you are interested in using canson paper with your picks it may be worth sending me an email and I will pass it on to the team at Canson to make sure your printer is compatible. You can contact me using the ‘contact’ form on my website. Chris

@@ChrisCeaserPhotography awesome will do thanks for the prompt response

@@ChrisCeaserPhotography well I found the answer on the website. I am preparing for my first exhibition. I would like to use Canson Baryara

@@ChrisCeaserPhotography Chris, thanks. I found the answer on the website. I am preparing for my first exhibition and would like to use the Canson Infinity Fine Art Baryta Prestige 340gsm. I downloaded the ICC profile, and for my style of photography, Black and White is the best-looking paper. What would be your recommendation for which paper size to use in my exhibition? Thanks in advance for the help and support

Hi. I use PS but I assume you add the profiles in the same way as on this video and choose the paper/profile in LR on the print screen? You could always contact the guys at Canson Infinity who might have more info but I’m sure you should be able to use LR as you normally would once you have set up the profiles? Good luck. Chris

Hi. Aquarelle is a beautifully textured, heavy paper, very much like a watercolour paper that artists use. I do use this, but mainly for photos that have a very painterly look and feel, maybe shots that have an ethereal look too. For my images that are more traditional, which is most of my work I guess, I use the more photographic papers like the gloss or the smoother matts. Hope that helps. I will add a video one day for the aquarelle. Chris

Hi! I recently purchased the Epson et-8550/l8180 printer and I’m testing papers. So far, hahnemuhle is not such a great option for this printer, especially since they don’t provide profiles for it. Now I’m looking into Canson and I was wondering if you can recommend a paper for fine art automotive photography, with a lot of black, dark areas and gradients. I will probably get a test pack, but I would appreciate any advice. Also, Canon Velvet Fine Art paper might be an option. Thank you!

You’re welcome, and thank you :)

Hi. Thanks for looking. If you see the more recent videos you might see I have improved the sound.

@@ChrisCeaserPhotography yes! Great work!

Thanks, good to hear it is useful. Enjoy the Canson Infinity papers :)

Thanks. Yes, that mono is just lovely in all aspects. Composition, tonal range, balance, overall impression. Very pleased with that one :)

They ARE beautiful papers :)

Thanks Carsten :) there’s one each Monday night at 17:30 for the next 3 weeks.

Ha. Yes, the prestige II is definitely worth a look, lovely paper. But then, they all are!! I am becoming more impressed by matt prints and their lack of reflections.... difficult to weigh that up against traditional gloss finish??

Thanks Sven.

No worries, glad it helped :)

Thanks Sue, glad to know it helped :)

Hi Bart Yes, it is an incredible paper and not only do we get accurate colours and white whites, but we get a product that feels beautiful also :)

Thanks for that David. Check out the new Prestige II also... no ONBA's at all now in that stunning paper, a great partner to Platine :)

I think the paper will give you more options when getting your work down on paper. Enjoy :)

Hi. It depends on your printer. If you download the icc profile you should also find a ‘paper handling’ sheet where the profiles are which should tell you which paper settings etc for your printer. For more info, and any other questions in printers/settings in general i suggest you email the team at canson infinity. You will find the email address on their website. Good luck. Chris

Hi. I think it literally is hot off the press. I’ll try and find out when you can expect stores there to have it. Chris

Hi Joshua Okay, apparently the paper should be available in June. This is due to customs clearances et. on imports to the USA. Keep an eye out for it, it is fantastic paper. Chris

​@@ChrisCeaserPhotography Question with the Canson Infinity ARCHES BFK Rives Pure White Photo Paper what do you set your media type to on printer settings? matte photo paper, premium fine art smooth, photo paper premium matter A, Photo paper premium matte?

@@joshuadelawrencephotograhy7619 Hi. i thought I had replied to this but maybe not?? You need to check the document that accompanies the ICC profile for your printer. This will tell you about the machine settings for your particular printer. Chris (PS, if I didn't reply earlier, my apologies)

You’re welcome. Check out the ‘Four Seasons’ videos for more ideas on how different papers affect how we show our work. The Spring video is a little quiet (was learning the sound set up really) but the other 3 seem louder. Chris :)

Hi. I think you seem to be having problems on a few of the videos. I'm sorry but not sure how I can help. Many seem to be able to hear them fine. Some of the early ones were perhaps a little quiet as I was trying to make videos using new equipment, I am a photographer after all, not a videographer. Hopefully the later ones may be more accessible for you. All videos are just my own efforts to try to help where I can. They are not officially endorsed by Canson Infinity. Chris

@@ChrisCeaserPhotography Well, I'm a little hard of hearing, and I'm sure many other viewers are also But I do hear most other videos just fine. My computer and TH-cam volumes are at 100%, and I can't hear yours, especially this last one. Try increasing the volume about 20%. Viewers can easily turn it down, but what's not there can't be turned up. Just FYI. Cood content, though.

Thanks for the advice. as I said, some of the earlier videos did have quieter sound, so maybe avoid those. Hopefully going forward I have sorted things so there should be no issues :)

Hi Jay. I can’t answer that I’m afraid. There is a ‘contact us’ option at the foot of the canson infinity webpage. You could pop a question in there? Good luck.

Hi. I can’t see the actual data, (not sure on the d-max scores) but I have printed on both. For me the Arches 88 would edge it. I have printed images with dense blacks and contrasting white areas (waterfalls etc) and am super happy with the paper. Both papers are excellent but Arches 88 has to be the stand out paper in this world of excellent fine art paper. :) try a sample pack and test them for yourself ;)

@@ChrisCeaserPhotography Thank you so much! I have meanwhile ordered sample packs for both and will compare :- )

@@ytuberization excellent. Drop a message on here with your thoughts :)

Hi Jim. That's a good question! The Pure White has a whiteness rating of 97.29(/100) and the White has a rating of 85.32. This means that the Pure White will be able to represent the white areas of the print closer to what they were in reality. if you think about it, how much 'white' do we see in landscape photography? Maybe water rushing over a fall, or down a stream? In these cases the Pure White will give you a whiter result in those areas. the White paper also represents these areas nicely, albeit a little warmer, but I do use both paper types for areas with water. So why would I choose either one? Well, if it was a strong mono conversion with deep blacks and white water falling down a cascade I would select the Pure White. If the image had less water, and more colour in the surroundings, fallen leaves etc., and the water was no longer the main subject then I might choose the White as the warmer tone of the whites might work better with the colours in the rest of the image. I guess I might simplify this as saying 'If I want my photograph to shout out (when using white areas like flowing water) then I choose Pure White. Both papers will display the colours in the same way, and both are beautiful, handle really well and are a pleasure to use. I speak as a photographer of course. A painter may use lots more white in their paintings, and, after reproducing the painting for printing then I could see them choosing the Pure White as it will allow them to reproduce their colours more accurately if using white paints etc. As always, things come down to personal choice and Canson have given us all, photographers and painters alike, more options with these new papers that will give us more flexibility when it comes to getting our work and ideas down on paper.

@@ChrisCeaserPhotography thanks Chris - I have purchased 2 boxes of the Pure White after watching your video and love it - might try the warmer one too - are the textured surfaces the same?

@@jdh_images yes :)

Have you tried any of the Canson Infinity papers yet Ted?

@@ChrisCeaserPhotography Yes, 2 of the sample packs. Went trough them & trying some Red River sample packs now, Then I'll try Moab & Hannemulle (probably not spelled correctly). RR ia alright but I seem to like the CI papers more. Also CI sent a good sample paks where as I had to order 2 different sample packs from RR to get more of their papers & they left out their most popular papers. Their loss. I'll probably order some Aquarelle, Printmaking (they spell it PrintMaKing on the paper), Rag Photographique & High Gloss to start but like the Baryta Photographique, PGloss ,PSatin &, PLuster also. So much Great paper to choose from. These papers look good also. Just to exercise my printer , I use my Canon papers & to tell you the truth, they are good enough for most anything I would hang up not being a professional photographer. But for that once in a while photo that stands out, or a Coffee table book or box with the best of, I like the CI heavier papers for. I just retired & hoping by next year to do a little traveling around the USA west & gather a few landscapes that will be worth printing on these papers. Thanks for getting back.

@@thomastuorto9929 Out of interest, which printer do you have?

@@ChrisCeaserPhotography Canon Pro 100. I have a xrite i1Studio for making printer/paper profiles also but have not done so as of yet. I purchased it when they sent me a 40% off sale a couple of years back. When I got into photography back 2016 , I would say early 2017 I picked up the printer, an xrite i1 Display Pro monitor calibrater & a Data Color Spyder Print for printer/paper profiles but haven't even opened the box for the Spyder Print as of yet. When I settle on some papers , & order full packs of paper, I will make some profiles for each paper. I woule love to be able to geta printer that prints up to 30"-36" wide but wouldn't be able to justify it as it would just be sitting there in the off position most of the time. Heck, I have gone 4 months without using my pro 100 at times & have been trying to print a couple of photos at least once every week or two now.

Excellent Jim. Happy printing ;)

Hi Tristan. yes, some of the new papers are stunning. My main core will still be the 3 you mentioned PLUS the Arches 88. I will also use BFK Rives when I need a slight texture and possibly the Baryta Photographique II Matt. There is such a range now, and all the papers really deliver. There are differences as you would expect due to the different surfaces on offer, and all of these subtle changes in the paper give you an extra option when deciding how to get work down on paper. By the way I print around 50% of my colour work on matt. :)

Hi Jim. Yes, a versatile lens indeed. :)

Sorry you didn't like the video. Thanks for the great advice :)

Hi. Yes, it is a very sturdy paper. Quite heavy but handles well on either sheet or roll. Superb finish, very deep blacks, great colours. Chris

Hi Chris, a follow up question on the sturdiness; Do you think this 17" roll paper will handle making 17 x 24" cut sheets well without much curling? Sounds like it could based on your video comment that prints off the roll are pretty flat.

Hi. Certainly the arches 88, and have you tried rag photographique 310? The 88 is whiter, the 310 has a warmer tone…. Both smooth, both archival and both would be excellent choices. Depends what you want to achieve with each image really??? Sample packs should be available soon :)

@@ChrisCeaserPhotography Hello Chris. I want to buy an ultra smooth paper and I have two options: 1. Canson Infinity Arches 88 Ultra Smooth, 310g/m2 2. Hahnemuhle Photo Rag Ultra Smooth, 305g/m2 Which one do you advise me? Thank you very much.

@@Lophophorawilliamsii Hi. I would recommend the Canson Infinity as I trust my own work to that company. The Arches 88 can deliver pure white also. I chose to work with Canson Infinty because I believe in the products they make. I can only recommend a paper I am using with no problems whatsoever. I cannot speak for the Hahnemuhle product. Chris

Hi Thomas You will not be disappointed if you need a whiter paper to compliment the RP 310. It's just as smooth. the prints are beautiful. Why not grab a sample pack of the 'Arches' range? Or just bite the bullet and buy a box of the '88 :)

@@ChrisCeaserPhotography Hi Chris, so far as I know, Arches isn’t available in Australia yet, but when it is, I’ll jump on it.

@@thomasklee7517 Hi. Have you tried searching for distributors on this list??? Just add your details... www.canson-infinity.com/en/store-locator

looks like B&H PhotoVideo Australia have some sizes in stock???

@@ChrisCeaserPhotography I searched several and didn’t find that particular paper on their websites.

Thanks William :)

Thanks Darren

Thank You

Hi. It is a bright white paper.

@@ChrisCeaserPhotography Would it be a paper for B&W portraits given that it is textured, much appreciated for your comment thank you.

@@jeg569 yes. I don’t shoot portraits but have seen some wonderful high black pieces that this paper would be superb for.. or really portraiture in general .... imho.

@@ChrisCeaserPhotography thank you.

thanks :)

I’m sure there will be a series 2 Darren :)

Hi. Yes, normally where there is a stream etc., where the polariser may cut through the glare on the surface. Autumn colour is a case of deciding on the day. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't... depending on the effect of the filter in the given light. :)

Thanks Naseem :)
