Has a true metallic look, yet with a slight contrast increase, the whites dont feel compromised. Nice heavy weight, worth the price.

The most unusual paper around. It has to be seen to be understood and requires a bit of tweaking to get images to look just right. That silver background reflects ambient light, so the image takes on the environment. Images end up with a deep three dimensional look. Subject isn’t necessarily the deciding factor for this paper – it works great for portraits, landscapes, macro, sports… The key is contrast and colors. A generally monochrome flat contrast image doesn’t work well. Variety of colors seems to be a key. This is very similar to Kodak Ektagraph paper that also has a silver backing. That paper is far richer and deeper than this. A slightly weaker version is the Slickrock Pearl, not as much silver on the base. The paper does curl.

Beautiful metallic but careful with printer settings and Moab’s ICC settings as they need tweaking. Also, viewing angles produce differing results. I still prefer Epson’s metallic paper.

Metallic papers provide a unique look to prints that is unlike any other paper. They are best used when you want an eye-catching print that has a texture and feel that lends itself to be used with a metallic background. Not every subject looks at its best on metallic papers, but there are those that work very well with them. My own purchase was specifically to print copies of daguerreotypes, both those in my own collection, and others that I have downloaded from the internet. As daguerreotypes are made with copper plates that have been polished to a mirror finish and coated with silver, using a metallic paper is a reasonable substitute when printing copies of these magical images. Another good subject for using metallic papers is high contrast black & white images of machinery. These papers provide a glimmer and sparkle to these compositions that standard papers just can’t achieve. Architectural photography, and in particular, sky scrapers and other structures made of large surfaces of metal and glass will work well with these papers. Specifically on to the Moab Slickrock Archival papers. These are the heaviest metallic stocks that I have seen, coming in at 300gsm. The additional weight of the paper is more card-like than a lighter paper. Think postcard, but not quite that thick. The color of the printing surface is a silvery gray, much like polished aluminum. This does not lend itself well to all sorts of images, but does provide a unique background for certain images. In subdued light it looks almost blueish, but in properly lighting this blueish cast disappears and with the right processing and printer settings, colors can simply pop off the page. The ink dries instantly on this paper so you can handle it immediately, and while it is supposed to be scratch resistant, it is far from scratch proof. Handle it carefully as scratches will be readily apparent. There are some stray thin cuttings of the paper within the package too, no doubt left over when the paper is cut to size. It is best to examine each sheet before putting it into your printer to ensure the best resulting prints. If you find one on a sheet a simple squeeze of an air bulb will remove it. These last two items are why I don’t give the paper a solid 5 stars. If B&H allowed fractions of a star, I’d give it 4 3/4 stars instead of 4.

I like using metallic paper for some images and I thought I would give this a try. The color of the paper base is very blue/silver and puts a color cast on the image. The paper also curls heavily and that causes head strikes. I won’t finish the box I have.

I tried a sample of this paper along with competitors papers of similar texture and characteristics. I Love this paper for its awesome color, clarity and crisp details.
