HARMAN PHOTO Matt FB Mp inkjet paper is a premium quality microporous paper on a true 

photographic fibre base. It is designed to produce instant dry high quality images on a wide range of photo-

dedicated inkjet printers, using dye or pigment inks. Uniquely the paper incorporates a layer below the ink-
receiving layer called Baryta. Baryta is a special coating that is traditionally applied to fibre photographic 

paper base prior to coating with the emulsion layers. The technical benefits of this layer include greater detail 

and definition, extended tonal range, and excellent archival properties. In addition Baryta coated fibre papers 

have a unique look and feel which have become the standard for fine art photographers worldwide over the 

course of more than a century. 

 

PRINTING TIPS 
- The paper is compatible with pigment and dye inks - and most photo-dedicated/photo capable printers, using 

the printer manufacturer’s original inks. 

- The printing side is the whiter, smoother and very slightly less glossy side of the paper. The paper is packed 

in the box printing side up. 

- To ensure that the paper remains flat, store the paper in the original bag and box until you are ready to print. 

The prints will exhibit a small amount of curl when exiting the printer but will flatten out again within a few 

minutes. This is normal for a fibre base paper of this type. 
- Handle the paper carefully, avoiding touching the printing surface as this may cause scuffmarks and 

adversely affect colour and image quality.  

- As with all photographic and inkjet materials do not expose this paper to extremes of temperature and 

humidity as this will adversely affect image quality and colour. 

- To load the paper into the printer feed tray - follow the printer manufacturer's advice.  

- Prints will be touch dry directly after printing and can be handled immediately. However, stacking, storing, 

framing, and displaying prints in albums should only be carried out when the images are completely dry. We 

recommend leaving them for 24 hours or at least overnight for any out-gassing from the inks to be completed. 
Actual dry times will vary according to the ambient conditions where you are printing. 

This paper is designed for use with photo inkjet printers from Canon ®, Epson ® and HP ®. The printer 

settings we recommend are based on extensive practical tests at our factory, which have achieved consistently 
good results, when applying specific media/printer setting combinations. However, you may find that you 

need to change these settings depending on your personal preferences, the types of images you are printing 

and your local conditions.  

For example, if a warmer or darker image is required to suit your personal preferences, you may need to 

increase   'saturation' or 'intensity'. Similarly changing the media selection, which appear in the printer 

software’s drop down menu, can also dramatically alter the look and colour of resultant prints. Do not be 

afraid to experiment to achieve the look you are seeking. 

NOTE: Printers, inks and software are changed and updated frequently. For the latest information on printer 
settings, including downloadable ICC profiles, and for more information about HARMAN technology’s inkjet
