Whether called Satin, Luster, Pearl, or Silk, these names almost always refer to an E-Surface finish. Just look to the nearest photo lab print and you will most likely see this pebbled finish. The DEPTH of this surface varies from paper to paper. The more shallow the depth the less you will notice the surface on a printed image. See depth chart:

Inkjet Papers and Suppliers for Panoramic Photography

Panorama photography is one of the fastest growing segments in the field. With the aid of widely available stitching software it is easy to capture simple 2 to 3+ shot landscape panoramas effectively turning a 8MB camera single image to an equivalent 16MB to 24MB+ file.

Add to that the well kept secret, that Epson and Canon inkjet printers can utilize extra long sheets of paper - perfect for printing your own panoramic images.

Red River Paper has long lead the way with hard to find sizes, especially in larger sheets. We have just expanded our offering of pano sized papers in glossy, satin, matte, and fine art media.

To bring more attention to the panoramic photography and pano printing world, we've partnered with some leading companies from this niche, and posted a panoramic photography and printing resources page here.

Please contact us with your thoughts or suggestions for making that webpage better.
