I didn’t have much of an expectation when I purchased this paper. I assumed it would be best used for black and white fine art photographic printing. There are some unique qualities about this paper (cotton rag, no optical whiteners). I thought this would be similar to some of the old fibre papers used in traditional film printing, however the surface finish is almost closer to a luster finish. I still use Photo Black (on the Epson 3880) with this paper, but it does have a more lab process/fine art feel than the traditional silver gelatin papers. All in all, a very white paper that I will probably use for color photographic printing.

Finally a paper that is 100% cotton fiber that doesn’t have a warm tone. Photographic images look like photographs with the added benefit of being stable and takes pigment inks well for richness and depth. The surface is perfect and doesn’t interfere yielding deep blacks and whites for a wonderful tonal scale. if I had only one choice, Platine Fibre Rag Paper would be it!

So this has got to be my new favorite paper for printing now. After comparing this to Ilford Gold Fibre Silk, Moab Juniper, and Hahnemhle Photo Rag Baryta, I can safely say that the Canson Infinity Platine paper gives more of a visual sense of depth to my prints than any other paper I’ve used. The colors from my Epson R3000, even with the “stock” color profile for this paper, come across as richly vibrant, though not exaggerated. It holds excellent black levels, and so contrast is about as good as I’ve seen on any of my prints. From a tactile perspective, the heavy weight 310 gsm cotton rag base at 15.6 mils is incredibly robust, with a weight nearly like cardstock. The texture of the cotton rag is obvious on the backside of the paper, but the lustrous surface finish doesn’t betray the paper texture unless you rake a light across the surface. Under normal viewing conditions, the finish is a bit finer than a Luster or Pearl finish, though certainly “glossy” like a resin coated paper. In terms of color, this is the whitest paper I’ve seen without Optical Brightening Agents. So if you want an archival paper that won’t fade or discolor over time, and you want a near dead-on white to your highlights, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better paper than this.

I love this paper, rich blacks and great tonal scale. I recently printed a series of B&W prints for another discerning photographer who chose this paper from sample printed on other high quality premium papers. Canson provides profiles for older and current Epson pro printers I use and is also, I believe, essentially the same paper as Epson’s Platine paper of the same GSM weight. If you are making prints for exhibition or for sale, this is a premium paper on archival cotton base which can be printed with gloss black ink sets.

Printed several times on my Canon Pro 100 both Black and White and color prints and they were beautiful. Highly recommended this paper!

A luscious tactility and heft when you (or another important person) holds your print on Platine Fiber Rag but you know what? The image itself isn’t any better than Canon Pro Platinum at one-fourth the price. Try it yourself and you’ll agree. Of course, the substantial tactility and heft does pre-dispose the print viewer to say, A quality image.

As a professional photographer I do my own printing,mattes and framing.So many people get caught up in how the image looks on their computer monitor,and I always ask them are you selling your monitor to your client.Point is its all about the print and in the digital we have a very large class of high end photo papers many mimic or are more like what we used in the film days,as is this paper.In addition its very important you have a very high resolution (TIFF) to print,the better the quality combined with the right paper it becomes a win win for you and the client.I love the Canson line of papers as do my clients,and when clients are happy they refer you others and the business grows.

For anything I want to have a very long tonal scale, I turn to Platine Fiber Rag. The smooth gradation of color it produces is fantastic. It also has my favorite surface of any paper I have sampled. The thickness (though it means individually feeding the sheets is also a bonus for sending raw prints. All around a great paper.

I bought a box of Platine Fibre Rag along with my Epson R3000, based on the recommendation of Mark Dubovoy over at Luminous Landscape. I had no previous experience with high-end fine art papers and didn’t quite know what to expect. This paper has delivered stunning results with every print. There is an ineffable rich, luminous quality to prints made with Platine; they look neither muted nor artificially boosted, but subtle and natural. B&W looks as good as color. The paper base is not neutral white, which I find too cool, but ever-so-slightly warm. On the mechanical side, I use Canson’s profiles to manage color in Lightroom, set Canson’s recommended paper type in the Epson driver, load media through the front Fine Art tray, and choose the Wide platen gap. I’ve only had head strike problems with sheets that I have damaged or curled, and the paper strongly resists curling, staying almost flat while printing and drying. Canson, don’t change the formula, and I’ll be a happy long-term customer.

I just got this and made a few prints, with great results. It was done on a dye printer and custom color profile. It has a nice, slight sheen to it and love the thickness/weight of the paper. It has no optical brightness and has a warmer tint to it because of it. I’ve found so far that flesh tones and yellows appear warmer because of it. I can’t wait to see how a B&W print turns out!

In my currier I am photographing for over 50 years in Tokyo and here in California. And now I am into digital way of photography for 7, 8 years, switching from conventional way, due to the environmental issues when dumping chemicals, and spacing issue of having darkroom in a small apartment in a city living. To make fine print is always my concern. I try to make it as close as possible to the darkroom print I used to make. Then I finally found the ideal paper, Canson-Platine-Fibre-Rag paper. It is excellent paper for creating accurate detail just like darkroom print. Then I realized a big change when I tested the paper on my new order arrived a month ago. Canson changed the emulsion on this product. I’ve got totally different result with the paper received this time. And I am currently fighting with bronzing problem since receiving this new batch. Until now, I had never had bronzing phenomenon on Canson product. I still believe that they make the finest paper. But I want to hear what they say about the bronzing issue I’m experiencing on this new batch. I’m still searching the way to overcome the problem with my trusted Platine Fibre, but if I can’t avoid this unwanted phenomenon, I’d have to leave from Canson-Platine-Fibre-Rag paper.

I use a variety of notable manufacturer’s papers, and will print a newly edited image on several types to judge what best matches the image. Platine Fibre Rag has a little bit of gloss and for printing on my Canon PRO-10 printer, does not need to use the fine art paper setting, therefore making the whole sheet area printable. I use the less expensive Canon Semi-Gloss Gloss for test prints, as that is what Canson calls for as the media setting for Patine Fiber Rag. I am very happy with this paper.

My previous rating for Platine Fibre Rag was incorrect. Five stars is it, plus. Wonderful paper, I recommend it to people who don’t even ask.

Having tried them all, all of the fine art papers. this one is my fave.

I print on a Canon PRO-1 and that printer with the Platine Fibre Rag, well breathtaking! Love the clarity and finish to this paper. Mostly color printing, but when I do B&W I wonder why I don’t do more on this paper. Highly recommend!

I have been experimenting with several different matte/fine arts, luster and glossy papers from Canson, Hahnemuhle, Museo and Inkpress on my Canon ip8720 printer, seeking alternatives for the excellent Canon Pro Platinum glossy paper I had been using. The conclusion is that: 1) Canon Pro Platinum is really good; 2) in terms of dynamic range, detail, fidelity of tone (using various appropriate default printer profiles), the Canson Platine Fibre Rag is simply in a league of its own. Only the Canon Pro Platinum approaches it, but its glossy finish puts it at a disadvantage in my view, especially if you want to frame your photos. For this paper, I use the default Pro Luster profile and get stunning results. Although I have a Spyder spectrometer to generate custom profiles, I feel no need to do so for this paper. Of course, I will still use other papers for specific needs, but this one will be my go-to.

This is one of my first high-end papers that I’ve tried in my Canon Pro9000 Mark II. I am not disappointed. The feel of this paper in the hand is great–no flimsiness, and the matte finish is just what I like. I also bought the Bartya Photographique paper by Canson, which I also like. But, so far, I like the Platine just a tad better for the slightly more matte finish. Using the Canson ICC profiles with my Pro9000 Mark II, I noticed that the Platine Fiber Rag prints just a bit towards the orange side compared to Canson’s Baryta Photographique. For saturated orange regions, this is not really noticeable. But, for caucasian flesh tones I need to work out the details. I haven’t calibrated my monitor in several months, so take this with a grain of salt. But, the side by side prints with the Baryta paper make the difference apparent.

Love this paper, similar to a glossy-dried-matte darkroom print. However, the paper’s curvature required fussing to prevent head strikes on my Epson 3880. Despite this issue, I will continue to buy it.

I like most Canson Infinity papers, and this one was great for printing however it was a bit hard to trim, it got very fuzzy around the edges when cut.

This has become my favorite paper for images that need a bit of a glow/warmth. I like it so much I’ve purchased it in multiple sizes!
