So, am I missing any widely-available baryta photo papers? Do you think any chart entries are incorrect? And maybe most importantly, do you have any comments on why you do or do not like certain baryta papers? (4) Weights range from 300 gsm (Hahnemühle FineArt Baryta Satin and Red River Palo Duro Baryta Fiber) to 350 gsm (Hahnemühle Baryta FB). 0.4mm (Hahnemühle FineArt Baryta and Moab Juniper Baryta Rag). 0.3mm (Canson Baryta Photographique II Satin and Epson Legacy Baryta) to 16 mil i.e. Several other baryta papers claim "very low" OBA content. (2) Several baryta papers at least claim to be OBA-free: (a) Hahnemühle FineArt Baryta Satin, (b) Hahnemühle Photo Rag Baryta, (c) Ilford Galerie Prestige Gold Fibre Silk, (d) Innova Exhibition Photo Baryta, (e) Moab Juniper Baryta Rag, and (f) apparently-the information on the website is not totally clear-Red River Palo Duro Baryta Fiber. (1) (a) Only Hahnemühle Photo Rag Baryta, (b) (apparently) Ilford Galerie Prestige Gold Fibre Silk, and (c) Moab Juniper Baryta Rag are 100% cotton (d) Canson Baryta Prestige is a mix of (apparently mainly) alpha-cellulose with (apparently less) cotton and the rest are 100% alpha-cellulose. I can tell you no manufacturer lists specifications for all of those.

I'm not positive how to assess / compare "brightness", "whiteness", "gloss", "opacity", and similar specifications. Note that different manufacturers quote different specifications, and sometimes appear to address the same basic specification in different ways. I've compiled a little chart, taking information from the paper manufacturers' specifications, with some basic comparisons of some common baryta papers. Semi-subjective properties are certainly important, and I'm interested in your opinions on those, but what follows tries to be a reasonably-comprehensive listing with some basic objective data. The discussions have covered the recent lack of availability of many baryta inkjet papers, most of them being alpha-cellulose instead of cotton rag, many of them having OBAs, and new ones replacing old ones. This could be due to the added barium sulphate layer.Judging by recent threads, there is significant interest in baryta inkjet photo papers. I ran a colour image on the paper sample and the colours came across rich and saturated. While not the heaviest paper in the Baryta range the Photo Rag Baryta is still considerably thick which doesnt cause the print to roll up after printing if you’re using the paper on a roll. Unlike some of the other baryta papers in the Hahnemuehle range, the Photo Rag Baryta looks less glossy. The paper also has a very slight texture which is all rather pleasing. A slightly warmer paper to their others, the Hahnemuehle Photo Rag Baryta has a pure cotton base, is acid and linen free, fully archival and has no added brightening agents. The one I got to do a test print on was the Hahnemuehle Photo Rag Baryta. Along with these added benefits baryta papers have a unique feeling about them. The benefit of a barium sulphate layer is greater detail and definition, extended tonal range and excellent archival properties to the print. Traditional fibre based darkroom papers had a barium sulphate layer. Baryta papers gets their name from the special Barium Sulphate layer that’s added to the paper. In the Hahnemuehle range of papers they have a few baryta style papers. Hahnemuehle have been around for hundreds of years, and have become one of the top-most authorities when it comes to fine art inkjet papers.
This is where the Hahnemuehle Photo Rag Baryta and others in the range steps in. While this great way of getting a really white paper, the downside is that after time the paper might start turning slightly yellow. I did find out after doing a bit research that the Epson paper has optical brightening agents.
While I really enjoyed printing on a fibre based paper, the fact that the paper was so incredibly white, was a slight worry to me.
Last year Epson sent me a few pieces of paper from their Signature Worthy range, one of the pieces being their Exhibition Fibre paper.
