Alpha Cellulose or Cotton Rag Papers – 
Which One Is Right For Your Customers?


Choosing the right fine art paper starts with understanding the key differences between alpha cellulose and cotton rag papers. These two materials dominate the production of high-quality fine art papers, each bringing unique qualities that affect the appearance, texture, and durability of your prints. Knowing how they compare can help you select the perfect paper to showcase your work.




In this blog, we’ll break down the key differences to help you decide which best suits your needs – especially if you’re considering trusted brands like PermaJet, known for their high-quality fine art media.

What is Alpha Cellulose Paper?

Alpha cellulose paper is composed of 100% wood pulp fibres. Manufacturers refine it to remove impurities like lignin (which can cause yellowing over time), creating an acid-free, archival-quality paper base. This process creates a durable, archival-quality paper similar to cotton, but often more affordable.

Alpha cellulose papers typically come in smooth, baryta, or textured surfaces that mimic traditional watercolour paper.

Alpha cellulose papers are often combined with a baryta layer to replicate traditional fibre-based papers. These can be found in PermaJet’s FB Baryta range. These are a great way of replicating that darkroom quality achieved with papers such as Ilford MGFB Classic, but with modern inkjet printing.

Alpha cellulose paper is widely used for inkjet printing, a popular choice for photos, fine art, and portfolios. It offers a balanced combination of quality and affordability. Brands like PermaJet provide a variety of alpha cellulose papers that deliver excellent colour vibrancy, fine detail reproduction, and reliable performance. This makes them a go-to for creatives who want gallery-worthy results without the higher costs of cotton rag.
