Buffalo Premium Satin Photo Paper Roll 7.7 Mil — RC Inkjet Photo Paper for Professional Photography, Fine Art and Display
Buffalo Premium Satin Photo Paper Roll is a professional 7.7 mil resin-coated (RC) inkjet photo paper with a microporous satin coating — engineered for photorealistic quality prints, fine art reproduction, graphic artwork, posters, kiosk output, and interior point-of-purchase displays. The microporous coating delivers instant-dry output with sharp image detail and brilliant color reproduction, while the satin surface finish gives prints a refined, gallery-ready look that glossy paper cannot match for professional client delivery.


Why Satin Finish Is the Professional Standard for Photo and Fine Art Printing
Glossy paper maximizes color saturation and Dmax but shows fingerprints immediately and reflects overhead lighting visibly — both problems in professional print delivery and gallery display contexts. Satin (also called luster or semi-gloss) solves both:
- Fingerprint resistance — the fine-texture satin surface diffuses light and hides the oils and smudges that glossy paper shows prominently on every client-handled print
- Glare reduction — satin finish diffuses reflections under gallery, studio, and retail lighting for a clean viewing experience at any angle
- Color accuracy — satin delivers rich, accurate colors without the exaggerated saturation that can make glossy prints look over-processed in fine art and portrait contexts
- Professional appearance — the industry standard for wedding, portrait, fine art, and editorial photography output

What wide-format printers are compatible with Buffalo Premium Satin Photo Paper Roll?
Buffalo Premium Satin Photo Paper Roll is compatible with pigment, dye, and latex inks on all major wide-format inkjet printers including Epson SureColor P5370, P6570, P7570, P8570, P9570, P20570, and T-series; Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-300, PRO-1000, PRO-2100, PRO-4100, PRO-6100, TM-200, TM-300, TX-3100, TX-4100, GP-200, GP-300, GP-4000, and GP-6400; HP DesignJet Z6 Pro, Z9+ Pro, T730, T830, T930, and Studio; and HP Latex 300, 310, 315, 330, 335, 360, 365, 370, and 375 series.

Why choose satin finish over glossy for professional photo printing?
Satin finish solves the two biggest practical problems with glossy paper in professional photography. First, fingerprints — glossy paper shows every fingerprint, smudge, and skin oil immediately and prominently. Satin’s fine-texture surface diffuses light and hides contact marks, making it far more practical for any print that clients will handle, review at a table, or take home in their hands. Second, glare — glossy paper reflects overhead lighting visibly, creating distracting hot spots when viewing prints. Satin diffuses these reflections for a clean viewing experience under gallery, studio, and retail lighting. Satin delivers rich, accurate colors without the exaggerated saturation that can make glossy prints look over-processed in portrait and fine art contexts.
Is Buffalo Premium Satin Photo Paper instant dry?
Yes. The microporous coating on Buffalo Premium Satin Photo Paper Roll 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 finishing. This is critical for high-volume kiosk and production lab workflows where prints need to move directly from the printer to sleeving, stacking, or cutting without a drying queue.
What widths are available for Buffalo Premium Satin Photo Paper Roll?
Buffalo Premium Satin Photo Paper Roll is available in five widths: 24 inches, 36 inches, 44 inches, 50 inches, and 60 inches. All rolls are 100 feet long with a 3-inch core. Select your width from the product dropdown before adding to cart.
Can I use Buffalo Premium Satin Photo Paper for GIS maps and CAD output?
Yes — GIS/CAD output is a listed application for this paper. The resin-coated base provides dimensional stability that paper maps and technical drawings lack — important for large-format GIS prints that will be handled and referenced. The microporous coating delivers the sharp line detail and color accuracy for layer differentiation that GIS and CAD graphics require. The satin finish works well for technical prints used under bright overhead lighting where glossy reflections would reduce readability.
How should I store Buffalo Premium Satin Photo Paper rolls?
Store rolls in their original 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 racks to prevent pressure deformation. Shelf life is approximately one year from manufacture date at recommended storage conditions. Once a roll is loaded in your printer, plan to use it within a reasonable production window for best print quality across the full roll.
What is the difference between the 24 inch and 60 inch rolls?
The only difference is print width — all specs, pricing per foot, and roll length are the same across widths. Choose based on your printer’s maximum media width and the largest output you regularly produce. The 24-inch roll suits desktop-scale professional photo printers like the Epson P5370. The 44-inch roll covers most studio production widths. The 60-inch roll handles large-format output for display graphics, wide panoramic prints, and high-volume production on 60-inch wide-format printers.
