photo paper

Printer's glossy medium

Photo paper is paper specially coated to produce high-quality photographic prints.

Traditional photo paper is light-sensitive, used in darkrooms with chemical processing.

Modern photo paper is designed for inkjet or laser printers, with glossy, matte, or satin finishes that absorb ink precisely: I printed the wedding photos on glossy photo paper.
