PAPER
At Babbabing we have selected a comprehensive range of papers,including poster paper, and canvases covering a wide range of textures, finishes and colour tones. However, if you don't see what you require contact us and we will try to help.
Making the right choice for your image is very important and there is no right or wrong paper. Images that look strong on semi-gloss paper, because of the way it captures details and creates a dramatic image, can look softer, more painterly when printed on a matt textured paper.
Our selection of Fine Art Papers combines the highest substrate calibre with advanced printing technology to create prints of the best quality and durability for artists and photographers.
