Awagami Factory has updated the standard Japanese Washi paper style with a series of advanced paper designed with coatings specifically for inkjet photographic prints. The double-sided Inbe Thick White Inkjet Paper, available here as a 10-pack of A1, 23.4 x 33.1" sheets, embraces this style with a Kozu (mulberry) and hemp fiber base that show off a delicate "laid" pattern of the papermaking screen. This paper also ensures accurate color reproduction, has a measured basis weight of 125 gsm, and a thickness of 9.1 mil. Additionally, the textured matte paper is strong due thanks to the hemp content, making it useful for a variety of print types.

Q: 2. Hello, where do I find and how to I use a color profile for this paper and my Canon Pixma MP 640 R?Thank you!

A: The beauty of this paper (besides the fact that Inkpress is the only company I know of that makes 8 X 12 size) is that if you use a Canon Pixma printer, you can use the profiles that come with the printer. Inkpress explains this on its website, and states that the profile for this paper is the same as for Canon Photo Paper Plus Semi-Gloss (II). I can't use links to other sites, according to B&H, so go to Inkpress' website and go to the page concerning Luster paper.

Q: 3. The samples are lumped together without identification. How are you supposed to know which paper is which?
