C-Type Fuji Photo Prints

Capture the beauty of your photography

Description

Real photographic prints, made with light and chemistry

C-type is how serious photography gets printed. Instead of spraying ink, your image is exposed onto genuine light-sensitive silver halide paper and chemically developed — the same photographic process darkrooms are built on, driven digitally for precision. The result is continuous tone, exceptional detail and colour accuracy that inkjet can't quite match, on your choice of four Fujifilm papers at sizes up to 127 × 396cm. A real person checks your file before anything is printed, and every order helps restore forests through our Print A Tree project.

Choose your paper

Fuji Matt — 231gsm, semi-matte satin sheen, bright white. Our most popular paper, and for good reason: a natural, versatile finish with true-to-life colour that suits almost any photograph. If you're unsure where to start, start here.

Fuji Gloss — 246gsm, medium gloss, bright white. From Fujifilm's Crystal Archive range, with a glossy finish that accentuates contrast and gives colours real punch. The classic choice for vibrant photographic colour with accurate reproduction and strong tonal range.

Fuji Pearl — 242gsm, medium gloss, slight silver metallic tone. A metallic-based paper with a distinctive pearl-like appearance: reflective, three-dimensional colour with luminous mid-tones and highlights. Made for images that trade on warmth, depth and iridescence.

Fuji Flex — 255gsm, ultra-high gloss, warm white. The luxury option: a smooth, plastic-feel base with deep blacks, high contrast and rich, saturated colour. When a print needs maximum impact under gallery lighting, this is the paper.

Artwork made easy

Every order includes a free file check by a real person — you don't need to ask. If anything about your image would compromise the print, we'll contact you before it goes anywhere near the paper.

Supply the highest-resolution file you have — TIFF or maximum-quality JPEG works well — sized for your intended print dimensions. Colour profile or resolution questions at large sizes? Send the file over and we'll advise for free before you commit; at exhibition scale it's worth getting right the first time.

Frequently asked questions

What is a C-type print?
A C-type (or chromogenic) print is a genuine photographic print: the image is digitally exposed onto light-sensitive silver halide paper and then chemically developed, rather than sprayed as ink. Because the image forms within the paper's emulsion, C-type prints have continuous tone — smooth gradations with no dot pattern — and the detail and colour accuracy photography deserves.
What's the difference between C-type and giclée?
C-type is a photographic process — light-sensitive paper, chemically developed, continuous tone — while giclée is high-end pigment inkjet onto fine-art papers. As a rule of thumb: photography tends to suit C-type, while artwork reproductions and images destined for textured cotton or watercolour papers tend to suit giclée. We print both, so if you're unsure, ask and we'll recommend honestly for your image.
Which Fuji paper should I choose?
Fuji Matt is the most popular and the safest all-rounder — natural finish, true-to-life colour. Choose Gloss for maximum colour punch and contrast, Pearl for metallic luminosity and depth, or Flex for ultra-high gloss with the deepest blacks. If you tell us about the image and where it's going, we'll happily recommend.
Are C-type prints archival?
Yes — prints are produced on archival-quality Fujifilm photographic papers, including the Crystal Archive range, designed for long-term display and accurate colour over time.
What's the largest C-type print available?
Up to 50 × 156 inches — approximately 127 × 396cm — on all four papers, which covers exhibition and installation-scale work.
What file do I need to supply?
The highest-resolution version of your image, ideally as a TIFF or maximum-quality JPEG sized for the print dimensions you want. Every order gets a free file check by a real person — if resolution or colour needs attention at your chosen size, we'll tell you before printing.
