Product Information

Full details

The PermaJet Instant Dry Oyster Photo Paper is designed for professional photographers and digital artists who require a high-quality, durable finish for large-format exhibition and portrait prints. With a substantial 271gsm base and a traditional lustre texture, this paper provides professional-grade image depth and longevity; however, its heavy weight and specific surface texture may require careful handling and precise printer calibration to avoid feed issues or surface abrasions.

FAQs

Is this paper compatible with pigment inks?

Yes, this paper is fully compatible with both pigment and dye-based ink systems.

Does this paper require special glass for framing?

While the paper is UV-protected, standard framing glass is sufficient, though anti-reflective glass can further enhance the lustre finish.

Can I use this for double-sided printing?

No, this product is designed for single-sided printing only.

Does the paper come with ICC profiles?

PermaJet typically provides downloadable ICC profiles on their website for major printer models.

How do I store the unused roll?

Store vertically or horizontally in the original box away from direct sunlight and humidity.

Is this paper considered archival?

Yes, the microporous supercoat and resin-coated base provide excellent archival properties when displayed correctly.

Troubleshooting

Prints appear muddy or colors are inaccurate

Ensure you are using the correct ICC profile for the PermaJet Oyster paper and that your printer settings are set to the paper type recommended by the manufacturer.

Ink smearing immediately after printing

Verify that your printer's 'Platen Gap' or 'Paper Thickness' setting is set correctly for a 271gsm paper; if the gap is too narrow, the print head may drag across the paper surface.

Curling at the edges of the print

Allow the print to lie flat under a clean, weighted object for a few hours, or use a larger core diameter for storage to reduce memory in the paper fibers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent resistance to fading and water damage
  • Professional-grade tactile quality
  • Compatible with a wide range of ink types
  • Surface texture masks fingerprints well
  • Rapid drying time increases throughput

Cons

  • Heavy base weight may struggle with tight printer feed paths
  • Requires professional color profiling for best results
  • Limited availability in small-format sheets

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal performance, load the 24-inch roll into your wide-format printer following the manufacturer's media loading instructions. Because of the 271gsm thickness, ensure the printer settings are adjusted to 'Heavyweight' or 'Photo Paper' mode to ensure correct head height and vacuum pressure.

  • Storage: Keep the roll in its original packaging in a cool, dry environment. Avoid extreme humidity.
  • Handling: Always handle prints by the edges to prevent oils from the skin from affecting the surface.
  • Display: While the microporous layer offers UV protection, it is recommended to mount prints behind glass or UV-filtering acrylic for permanent display.
  • Compatibility: Compatible with most Canon, Epson, and HP large-format inkjet printers using dye or pigment inks.
