At Profotonet, you can choose from as many as 16 different paper types. We offer prints on both photographic paper and inkjet FineArt paper. With photographic printing, your photo is exposed and chemically developed on the finest photo papers from Fujifilm and Ilford. No ink is used in this process, resulting in razor-sharp images. For inkjet FineArt prints, we use advanced inkjet printers to reproduce your photo. Below, we explain the differences between these options.
