If I could only have one fine art matt paper on my shelf, would Fotospeed NST Bright White 315 be my choice?
In this video, I take a closer look at NST Bright White and explain why I think it is one of the most versatile 100% cotton fine art matt papers you can use.
Rather than simply running through the specifications, I look at what those features actually mean when you're making a print — from the bright white surface and gentle texture to its high D-MAX, wide colour gamut and ability to retain fine detail and smooth tonal transitions.
I also look at why I think NST Bright White works so well across both colour and black & white photography, and why it could be an excellent starting point if you're looking to explore fine art matt printing.
In this video:
100% cotton fine art paper
Bright white surface
Gentle fine art texture
High D-MAX and deep blacks
Excellent shadow separation
Wide colour gamut
Sharpness and tonal smoothness
Colour and black & white printing
ArtSure Approved
85+ years archival performance with pigment inks
And ultimately, why this is the one fine art matt paper I'd put on my shelf.
