Paper types for the Lambda

The Lambda printer is the benchmark for quality in digital printing. In producing digital prints onto light sensitive papers using lasers, all Lambda prints are chemically processed.

Our Lambda prints all share excellent skin tone reproduction, deep rich colours and excellent shadow detail. We only use the finest papers available from Fuji and Kodak and all papers are rated as archival.

Fuji Lustre
Our most popular paper finish and the best all-rounder, Fuji lustre has a semi-gloss satin finish which is more forgiving of fingerprints. Rich colour reproduction, great skin tones and deep blacks have made this the natural choice for many photographers.

Fuji Pearl
Fuji Pearl paper is our metallic gloss lambda paper. An imperceptible extra layer above the print dyes causes iridescence which adds an extra dimension to both colour and black and white images, particularly visible in highlights and in reflections on the paper surface

Fuji Flex
Pixel Perfect is one of the only labs in Australia to print on this stock, Fuji Flex (sometimes called super or hyper gloss) is noticeably different in feel from our other Lambda papers. Fuji flex uses a plastic rather than paper base material, which enables its surface to be completely free of texture, the mirror smooth surface gives sharp details and the warmer white gives rich colours. Fuji flex is the most fragile Lambda paper and should be handled with extreme care, but the results are unique and well worth the effort.
