PHOTOPRI Unveils New Art Paper Lineup

In a significant move to support artists and photographers in their creative endeavors, PHOTOPRI, a leading professional printing service based in Itabashi, Tokyo, is thrilled to announce the addition of seven new types of art paper to its offerings starting July 1, 2025. This expansion aims to meet the diverse expression needs of photographers and illustrators by providing a broader selection of optimal media for their artwork.

Why Paper Choice Matters

For every creator striving to showcase their artwork in the best possible light, choosing the right paper is essential in determining the final impression of their work. PHOTOPRI has long been dedicated to sharing the joy of printing by helping artists bring their creations to life. While they have already provided top-tier papers from renowned brands like Hahnemühle and Canson, the company aims to deeply respond to the endless quest for exploration and commitment to expression from creators by expanding their lineup of products.

The newly added seven papers are carefully selected from three distinct brands trusted by professionals worldwide: ILFORD, known for its quality, PICTORICO, showcasing Japan's craftsmanship, and Awagami, which merges tradition with innovation. Each paper boasts unique textures, color reproduction, and character that stimulate new inspirations for creators and enhance the value of their works.

The Seven New Paper Types

Here’s a glimpse of the seven new paper types that will be available:

• - ILFORD Fine Art Smooth Pearl: Described as having a smooth pearl texture, this paper is ideal for a wide range of photographic expressions, from portraits to landscapes, offering depth and luxury.
• - ILFORD Glossy Photo: With vibrant color reproduction and high gloss, this paper is perfect for commercial photography and works aiming to emphasize vivid colors.
• - ILFORD Gold Fibre Rag: This paper has the feel of traditional baryta paper with its 100% cotton base, providing weight and beautifully rich gradation, particularly shining in monochrome photography.
• - PICTORICO Fine Art Smooth: Featuring a fine and smooth surface, this paper allows for sharp expressions, faithfully reproducing details in illustrations and graphic arts.
• - PICTORICO Fine Art Rough: Characterized by its natural and rich texture reminiscent of hand-made paper, it adds warmth and dimensionality to watercolor and more tactile works.
• - Awagami Kozo Thick: This washi paper, noted for its natural color and fiber texture, is suitable for Japanese-themed works and warm expressions.
• - Awagami Bamboo Paper 170g: Made from environmentally friendly bamboo, this washi offers a smooth surface and sturdy thickness, breathing new life into artworks with its distinct character.

Why Professionals Choose PHOTOPRI

PHOTOPRI stands out not just as a printing service but as a partner in enhancing artists' expressions through advanced technology and supportive offerings.
