Drylab Paper Roll 213ft | 250 GSM | Glossy & Luster | Epson SureLab & Fuji DX100/DX400 Compatible

Drylab paper is a professional resin-coated photo paper engineered specifically for high-volume drylab and dry minilab printers like the Epson SureLab series and Fujifilm Frontier-S DX100. It’s used by event photographers, school portrait labs, wedding studios, photo kiosks, and commercial photo labs that need fast, consistent, instant-dry photo prints in volume.

Yes. Buffalo Imaging Drylab Paper is engineered as a quality-equivalent replacement for both the Epson SureLab paper line (S400119, S400125, S450296, S450299, and the rest of the S4xxxxx series) and the Fujifilm DX100 paper line (7160502, 7160490, 7160488, 7160486, 7160489, 7160487, and the rest of the 7160xxx series). Same 213ft roll length, same instant-dry microporous coating, same dimensional spec, and the same printer compatibility — just at a more competitive price point.

This 250 gsm drylab paper is compatible with the Epson SureLab series and Fujifilm Frontier DX100 family of drylab printers, which share the same Epson-developed inkjet printhead architecture. Confirmed compatible models: Epson SureLab D570, D700, D870, D1000, D1070, D1070DE, SL-D700, SL-D3000; Fujifilm Frontier-S DX100, DX100W, DX400W, and DE100.

No. The Fujifilm Frontier DL600 and DL650 use a different paper specification entirely — Fujifilm’s manual specifies u0022Use only FUJIFILM Papers Approved for use in the DL600/DL650.u0022 Those production drylabs run longer 180m (590ft) and 100m (328ft) rolls with a different coating profile. If you operate a DL600 or DL650 and need compatible paper, please contact our team directly — we can help source the correct DL-series product.

Noritsu drylab printers (QSS Green, D-series) maintain their own approved paper compatibility list. We do not currently certify this paper for Noritsu systems. If you operate a Noritsu printer and are looking for compatible paper, please contact us directly — we can help direct you to the right product or confirm compatibility with your specific model.

Buffalo Imaging Drylab Paper is engineered to the same professional standards as Epson SureLab and Fujifilm OEM drylab papers — same 250 gsm RC base, same 213ft roll length, same instant-dry microporous coating, same UV-protected supercoat, and the same printer compatibility. The main difference is price: as a non-OEM equivalent, our paper is priced more competitively without sacrificing quality. Bulk pack pricing on 4-roll cases offers additional savings for high-volume photo labs.

Glossy drylab paper has a smooth, highly reflective surface that produces maximum color saturation and the deepest blacks — ideal for retail photo prints, event photography, school portraits, and consumer-facing prints where vibrancy is most important. Luster (also called Pearl or Satin) has a fine pebble texture that diffuses reflections, hides fingerprints, and gives a more refined u0022professional galleryu0022 look — preferred by wedding and portrait photographers. Color reproduction is nearly identical between the two; the difference is surface finish and reflectivity. Most pro labs stock both finishes.

Each drylab roll is 213 feet (65 meters) long. The number of prints per roll depends on the print size you’re producing. Rough estimates: a 4in x 6in print on a 4in roll yields approximately 425 prints. A 5in x 7in on a 5in roll yields approximately 365 prints. A 6in x 9in on a 6in roll yields approximately 285 prints. An 8in x 10in on an 8in roll yields approximately 255 prints. Actual yield varies based on borders, gaps, and print waste.

Yes on both counts. The microporous coating with UV-protected supercoat is highly water-resistant — prints survive accidental spills, humidity, and handling. Combined with the scratch-resistant Image Protection Layer, prints stay looking great through normal use for years. The microporous receiving coating absorbs ink instantly, so prints exit the printer 100% dry and ready to handle, sleeve, package, or hand directly to a customer with no waiting period or smudging risk.

Regular inkjet photo paper is designed for desktop printers and typically uses a different coating chemistry, paper weight, and dimensional stability profile. Drylab paper is engineered specifically for the high-speed, high-volume rollers and feed mechanisms of professional drylab printers — it has tighter manufacturing tolerances for thickness, flatness, and curl. Using regular inkjet paper in a drylab printer typically causes paper jams, banding, color issues, and damage to the printer. Always use paper specifically rated for drylab use in drylab printers.

Yes, when stored properly. Keep unopened drylab paper rolls in their original sealed packaging, in a cool, dry environment (around 23°C / 73°F, 40-60% relative humidity), away from direct sunlight and moisture. Stored this way, drylab paper has a shelf life of approximately 2 years from manufacture. Once a roll is opened and loaded in a printer, try to use it within 6 months for best color consistency. Keep partially-used rolls in a sealed bag when not in active production.
