Canson® Infinity Baryta Prestige 340gsm is comprised of an acid-free alpha-cellulose and cotton white paper base with a true barium sulphate coating. It is a smooth Baryta Gloss paper which evokes the look and aesthetic feel of traditional darkroom papers.
The paper characteristics are truly unique: providing excellent durability, outstanding black optical density (D-max), and superb image sharpness. The paper offers a good level of flatness, excellent surface homogeneity, very good cuttability, and its printed and non-printed surfaces differ only very slightly in glossiness. It offers an extraordinary wide gamut which improves colour reproduction and increases visual impact.
Canson® Infinity Baryta Prestige is an innovative product for the more discerning photographer and printmaker, whether creating black and white or colour archival prints.

Additional comments |
- Paper base permanence meets the ISO 9706 requirements. |
Even before printing - indeed right from the moment you take it out of its box - it is clear to see that Canson sought to create a resilient paper. Made with optimal thickness and perfect flatness, its look alone places it amongst the highest-end papers.
But the biggest surprise comes before printing - this paper resembles traditional baryta paper with the elegance of the lovely photographic paper of years past. It is smooth and slightly shiny, and provides for outstanding results in both colour and black and white.
Much to my satisfaction, it features a high optical density and meets the durability requirements of standard ISO 9706.
This beautiful paper was designed for photography lovers and those who value the photographic object that is the "print".
