Specialist papers
Within your work, in conjunction with A1:5 "Communication" in order to meet the "Thorough understanding and skilful use of presentation methods" you're required to produce your work at a very high and professional standard and this means demonstrating your use and knowledge of these methods.

| A1:5 Criteria |
In 2023 we can offer you part packs of some of the highest quality papers used in black and white printing. Some of the papers cost in excess of £150 per box of 100.
For this project you're expected to print your final or best images on these papers and we can offer you a pack of ten (3 types - 3 sheets of 2 types and 4 of the MG300). The current cost using the stock we have already is £12.00 for the pack. Only use this paper towards the end of the project to produce the final images and to compare and contrast the different types once you've done enough printing and acquired the necessary skills (Week 4 onwards)?
Identify and write about these papers in a separate section "Materials" in a similar way seen here on the left.
- Images of the materials
- Product data relating to the materials (Screen grab)
- Your own written content about the materials - your experience of using them and comparing with other?
This same approach can and should be used in conjunction with the equipment you use, allocating a column to each item that you identify and use.

Digital Papers (AC:5 communication)
Digital photography similarly is printed on high-quality papers too. In the 2nd year when it comes to producing your portfolio you might opt to print your portfolio for your interview to gain access to University or employment.
One of the best places in the UK to have digital images printed is The Print Space in London
Click on the image here (Left) and it'll take you to the Print Spaces Youtube channel and all of their videos for you to peruse and learn from.
In the first year you need to show you have knowledge of the potential to print your work to a very high professional standard using a range of different materials and methods.
To identify this in your work as a minimum you should produce a number of pages (A section) where you identify that you've researched these materials, look at their product details and explained their characteristics and properties.
In order to do this really well you should buy a sample pack from the print space (£14 in 2023) and look at the papers as a physical entity - feel them and compare them with each other and make comparisons with the B&W papers you'll be using. If you buy the papers you could select 2-4 or four of your preferred versions cut a piece off the samples you choose and add this to your work at the back as a hard copy example that you can refer to in your written work.
This can be added to the work along with the hard -copy prints you produce in the darkroom.
Make sure you watch this video here about the papers...
