When photographers think of fine art printing, the first thing that often comes to mind is 100% cotton paper. But does cotton really matter? Does it automatically make a print "fine art", or is there more to choosing the right paper?
In this video, we're comparing four very different papers from the Fotospeed range:
📄 PF Lustre
📄 Matt Ultra
📄 Platinum Gloss Art Fibre
📄 NST Bright White (100% Cotton)
We'll explore how each paper changes the look and feel of the same image, discuss the differences between resin coated, alpha-cellulose and cotton papers, and explain why paper choice is one of the most important creative decisions you can make after pressing the shutter.
Whether you're printing landscapes, wildlife, portraits or exhibition-quality fine art, this video will help you understand which paper is best suited to your photography—and why cotton isn't always the answer.
