Series FAQ

Common questions about ZST RC

Q1What does RC mean in RC photo paper?

RC stands for resin-coated: the paper core is sealed in polyethylene on both sides, then topped with a microporous ink-receiving layer. The result is true photo-lab stiffness, flatness and water resistance that plain coated paper cannot match.

Q2Is ZST RC photo paper compatible with Epson, Fujifilm and Noritsu printers?

Yes. The RC series works with both water-based dye and pigment inks and matches Epson, Fujifilm and Noritsu photo-lab workflows. Four plain finishes — R-Glossy, R1-Satin, R2-Luster and R3-Silk — run 200g to 260g in sheets and rolls up to 1520 mm wide.

Q3Which RC finish should I choose — glossy, satin, luster or silk?

R-Glossy gives maximum shine and color pop for display prints; R1-Satin and R2-Luster offer a softer sheen with good fingerprint resistance for portfolios and albums; R3-Silk adds a fine textured feel for premium work. All four share the same RC base and ink compatibility.

Q4Does ZST offer self-adhesive RC photo paper?

Yes — GJRC (high-gloss) and SJRC (satin) are self-adhesive RC papers in 200g and 260g, supplied in sheets and 1050 mm rolls. They pair photo-lab image quality with a peel-and-stick back for display panels, signage and mounted prints.
