Resin coated (RC) paper is a type of photographic printing paper that features a water-repellent resin layer on both sides of the paper base. This coating allows RC paper to be processed more quickly, requires less washing, and dries faster than traditional fiber-based papers, making it highly convenient for darkroom printing.
RC paper is widely used by photographers for both black-and-white and colour printing. Its durability and ease of handling make it ideal for high-volume printing, test prints, or projects where quick turnaround is needed, while still delivering sharp, high-quality images with minimal risk of curling or damage during processing.
