Buffalo Supra Inkjet Photo Paper Roll | Glossy & Luster | Wide Format

Buffalo Supra Inkjet Photo Paper Roll is a premium 270 gsm heavy-weight resin-coated (RC) inkjet photo paper engineered for professional wide-format photography, fine art printing, and high-quality display applications. Available in Glossy (10 mil) and Luster (11 mil) finishes, it features a proprietary microporous coating on an opaque true RC base for instant-dry output, exceptional color reproduction, rich blacks, and the substantial professional weight that clients immediately notice. At 270 gsm, it is 18% heavier than standard 240 gsm lab-grade RC paper.

The Glossy finish (10 mil) has a smooth, mirror-like surface that delivers the highest possible color saturation, deepest blacks (maximum Dmax), and the most vivid punchy color output. It shows fingerprints and reflects overhead lighting visibly. The Luster finish (11 mil) is 1 mil thicker than the Glossy and has a fine-texture semi-gloss surface that diffuses light, hides fingerprints, and delivers a more refined gallery-style look with slightly lower but still excellent color saturation. Glossy is preferred for retail kiosk output, event photography, and consumer-facing prints where maximum vibrancy is the priority. Luster is preferred by wedding photographers, portrait studios, and fine art printmakers producing prints that clients handle directly.

Buffalo Supra Inkjet Photo Paper Roll is compatible with all major professional wide-format aqueous inkjet printers using pigment or dye-based inks — including Epson SureColor P5370 (17in), P6570, P7570, P8570, P9570, P20570, and SureColor T-series; Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-300, PRO-1000, PRO-2100, PRO-4100, PRO-6100, GP-200, GP-300, GP-4000, and GP-6400; HP DesignJet Z6 Pro, Z9+ Pro, Studio, T730, T830, and T930. Not designed for solvent, eco-solvent, latex, or UV-curable printers. ICC profiles are available — contact Buffalo Imaging with your printer model for a matched profile.

Yes — this is one of the most important practical differences for studio work. The luster surface on the Buffalo Supra inkjet photo paper roll has a fine pebble texture that physically diffuses light and breaks up the appearance of fingerprints, smudges, and skin oils. The glossy surface is smooth and mirror-like, showing every fingerprint prominently. For prints clients handle directly — wedding albums, portrait sessions, fine art proofs — luster is the professional standard. For prints displayed behind glass, framed on walls, or in protected retail environments, glossy delivers maximum visual impact without the handling concern.

Buffalo Supra Inkjet Photo Paper Roll is available in six widths: 17 inches, 24 inches, 36 inches, 44 inches, 50 inches, and 60 inches. Both Glossy and Luster finishes are available in each width. All rolls are 100 feet long with a 3-inch core. Select your Finish (Glossy or Luster) and Width from the product dropdown before adding to cart.

The 270 gsm weight makes Buffalo Supra inkjet photo paper roll 18% heavier than the 240 gsm standard used in most photo lab RC papers. This matters in several practical ways: clients immediately perceive the heavier paper as more premium when they hold their prints; the additional thickness (10 mil glossy / 11 mil luster) provides better edge protection during delivery and handling; the heavier base reduces the tendency to curl in humid environments; and the added stiffness improves feed consistency through wide-format printer roll systems. For professional studios delivering high-value portrait, wedding, and fine art work, the weight difference is something clients notice and associate with higher quality.

Yes. Both the Glossy and Luster finishes of the Buffalo Supra inkjet photo paper roll feature a proprietary microporous coating that absorbs aqueous inkjet ink almost instantly on exit from the printer. Prints are dry to the touch immediately after printing with no smearing, offsetting, or wait time before handling, stacking, or cutting. This is critical for high-volume studio and lab operations where prints need to move directly from the printer to sleeving, stacking, or finishing without a drying queue.

Yes — fine art and giclee reproduction printing is a primary application for the Buffalo Supra inkjet photo paper roll. The Luster finish is particularly well-suited for gallery and collector-quality giclees where the semi-gloss surface adds refinement and fingerprint resistance makes gallery handling practical. The Glossy finish delivers maximum color saturation for fine art reproductions where visual impact is the priority. Both finishes are 270 gsm on a true resin-coated base for the substantial, high-quality feel that fine art buyers and galleries expect. ICC profiles are available for the most accurate color reproduction on your specific printer.

Store Buffalo Supra inkjet photo paper rolls in their original sealed packaging at 50–77°F (10–30°C) and 35–65% relative humidity, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep rolls vertical on proper roll storage racks to prevent pressure deformation. Shelf life is one year from manufacture date at recommended storage conditions — the coating warranty is 6 months from date of purchase. Once a roll is loaded in your printer, plan to use it within a reasonable production window to maintain optimal print quality across the full roll.
