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.

George ★★★★★

The blacks are incredibly solid on this high-gloss surface, and the resin coating handles processing like a dream without any curling. It cuts perfectly square from the box, saving me from endless trimming.

George ★★★★★

Finally found an RA-4 paper that doesn't fight me in the darkroom—the gloss is so deep it feels almost wet straight out of the fixer. Cut a dozen sheets and the colors snapped right off the resin surface, even with my slightly-off filter pack. For the price per sheet, this is my new everyday stock.

Amelia ★★★★★

Cut a few 8x10s last night and the gloss is really deep and even—no weird surface mottling like I've had with cheaper papers. The resin coating makes drying quick and the colors pop right away.
