From a previous thread: . . . it has become possible to make some pretty stunning prints using higher end ink jets on quality papers (Hahnemuhle Baryta, for example) that can hold their own as gallery quality works.

But . . . . How does light affect a print on Baryta paper? I've heard some negative comments about it, but can't seem to find anything definite. I've just done a search on "Baryta" and did not see anything about it.

Hahnemuhle Baryta is long recognized as a high-quality paper of long-recognized archival quality. Unless explicit evidence is offered to dispute this, I suggest that no credence be placed in statements to the contrary.

Let us not forget that all photo paper used to be baryta paper before RC paper was developed. Those prints by the "old masters" are doing just fine today.

My ARPS Distinction prints were printed 1976 (before Resin Coated paper) Bromesko Paper wet process, and still look as good as the day they were printed and mounted. I'm sure the prints will outlast me.
