What does rc photo paper mean?

RC photo paper is a high-grade photo paper type. Due to its high color reproduction and stability, it is widely used by photographers, photography enthusiasts and the photography printing industry. The characteristic of RC photo paper is that it uses a plastic matrix as the film, which can avoid photo deformation caused by humidity and temperature changes. It can also complete photo printing in a shorter time, which is convenient and fast.

RC photo paper can be divided into many different specifications to suit different photography needs. Currently, the commonly used specifications on the market include 3R, 4R, 5R, etc. Among them, 3R photo paper is the smallest standard size and is suitable for quick printing and collection of small photos. 4R photo paper is the most commonly used specification and is suitable for general printing and photo album production. 5R photo paper is a larger format, suitable for showing more details and creating photos with a distinctive style.

Although RC photo paper is widely used, it has shortcomings. It does not have the ability to be stored for a long time and is prone to color changes and degradation. Therefore, it is recommended that when storing photos, you should choose professional storage boxes or acid- and alkali-free man-made fiber materials for protection. At the same time, keeping photos at a suitable temperature and humidity can greatly extend the service life of photos and allow our precious memories to be preserved forever.
