ADOX Color Mission RA-4 Paper High Gloss Resin Coated 8 x 10in, Pack of 100

ADOX Color Mission RA-4 Paper High Gloss (RC)

ADOX Color Mission is a modern RA-4 colour darkroom paper with a high-gloss resin coated surface, produced from genuine master rolls and cut in Germany to professional lab standards. Designed for both traditional tray processing and minilab workflows, it delivers clean whites, strong colour saturation and excellent image stability, making it a dependable choice for students, educators and experienced colour printers alike.

Why We Like It

This paper is a pleasure to work with when you want bright, punchy colour prints with a true photographic gloss finish. The base white is clean and neutral, which helps colours look fresh and well balanced, especially in skin tones and product photography. Because it is made from current-generation RA-4 materials, it responds very predictably in standard colour chemistry and holds detail well in highlights. It is equally at home in a teaching darkroom, a college lab, or a serious home set-up. Do note that, like all modern colour papers, it should be handled in complete darkness or under IR viewing systems, as traditional colour safelights can cause fogging.
