This unique paper has a very slight metallic sheen, most visible in the highlights.The metallic quality lends a subtle luminescence to the image. This is one of my favorite papers to print on, due to the bit of glow it provides to my work. The paper is made in Italy at an FSC Certified mill. This sustainability certification ensures that all virgin pulp is derived from well-managed forests. The paper is acid-free, which ensures durability and lightfastness of your prints.
