Everything you need to know about our photographic paper

Photographic paper: bright, sharp, and luxurious

Photographic paper really brings your photos to life. Your photos aren't printed but rather developed in a darkroom. A CEWE PHOTO BOOK made with photographic paper is always flat-bound because two exposed photo sheets are attached to each other. As a result, each page is also very sturdy (368–382 g/m²) and has a luxurious feel. Thanks to the flat binding, the pages also lie completely flat. You can even have a photo extend across the centre fold. Perfect for panoramic photos and large images that you'll be proud to show others.

You can choose from several types of paper:

  • Classic photographic paper has a subtle sheen and a fine texture.
  • Gloss photographic paper brings out intense, vibrant colours.
  • Matte photographic paper has a luxurious, velvety-soft look.

Everything you need to know about our classic paper

Classic paper is lightweight, flexible, and ideal if you choose to include many pages in your photo book.

If you choose classic paper, your photos will be digitally printed on high-quality, lightweight, and flexible paper. It’s the ideal choice if you want a lot of pages in your CEWE PHOTO BOOK.

  • Classic paper has a subtle satin sheen and fine texture.
  • High Gloss paper ensures that colours appear bright and vibrant.
  • True Matte paper has a matte, understated appearance with a premium feel.
  • Recycled paper offers the same satin sheen in a more sustainable option.

Please note: this paper does not lie flat when opened. Do you often use large photos that span two pages? In that case, you should opt for flat photographic paper.
