300GSM BRIGHT WHITE SMOOTH FINE ART PAPER, 100% COTTON

Optica One is a 300gsm bright white, matte inkjet fine art paper with a luxuriously smooth surface ideal for high resolution photographic imagery. It is able to produce extremely crisp and accurate detail as a result of its leadership (when measured against other fine art papers on the market today) in tonal range value, line quality, line contrast, and raggedness.

Optica One is Breathing Color’s latest innovation tailor-made for the demanding and discerning photographer who values superior performance in print quality.

KEY FEATURES

UNRIVALED COLOR GAMUT

With a proprietary inkjet receptive coating that delivers off-the-chart numerical readings in Dmax and color gamut, Optica One represents the new age of fine art papers from Breathing Color and is unmistakably in a league of its own.

DELIVERS EXTREMELY DEEP BLACKS

The Dmax on Optica One is exceptional. If you print black & white photography, this paper is a must see.

BEAUTIFUL SKIN TONES

Just wait until see your portrait photography on Optica One. It might be most pleasing reproduction of skin tones you have ever seen on a fine art paper.
