Moab Lasal Exhibition Luster 300gsm
Moab’s Lasal Exhibition Luster is a premium, exhibition-class photo paper engineered for photographers who demand clarity, depth, and long-lasting beauty. Its signature luster surface combines the best qualities of glossy and matte, giving your images a refined sheen with none of the harsh glare.
Crafted on a heavyweight 300 gsm base, Lasal Exhibition Luster feels substantial and luxurious the moment you pick it up. The paper’s 11.8 mil thickness provides excellent rigidity, helping images lie perfectly flat and display beautifully whether framed, matted, or mounted.
What truly sets this paper apart is its microporous resin-coated coating, designed to instantly absorb ink and lock in detail. This RC technology gives the surface exceptional sharpness and crispness—fine textures, tiny details, and subtle tonal transitions all reproduce with striking precision.
Lasal Exhibition Luster also boasts an ultra-bright neutral white base without optical brightening agents (OBAs), ensuring color accuracy that won’t shift over time. The neutral tone helps maintain true-to-life whites, smooth gradients, and rich, clean contrast.
Paired with pigment inks, this paper delivers archival-quality prints that last for decades, resisting fading and environmental damage. It’s a favorite choice for fine art photographers, galleries, and professionals who want their work to make a lasting impression.
