Paper technology and performance have been forced to improve

As the performance of wide format inkjet printers have evolved over the last ten years so too has paper. With printers achieving ever higher resolution and more precise colour reproduction due to increases in the number of ink cartridges they contain, paper has had to improve so as not be the weak link in chain of production.

What do customers use 250 gsm 36” satin photo rolls for?

The heavy weight feel of our 250gsm 36” paper gives an immediate impression of quality and substance. As the paper is more rigid it sits in frames better and does’t require mounting on thick board. This lends it to applications such as covers for look books, photo albums or portfolios.

Technical specifications required for exceptional performance

Our 250 gram 36” satin photo rolls achieve outstanding print results because the manufacturer has focused on controlling the interaction between the ink and the paper as precisely as possible. Our satin paper uses a unique ink receiver layer to manage the ink staying fixed in position when it hits the surface of the paper. This is vital if one wishes to print photo quality images with fine details and smooth half tones. Traditional toner based printers use paper that typically have a very flat surface (giving a flat image) unlike high quality instant dry satin papers where the surface is made up of tens of thousands of tiny pyramids. Problems such as metamerism or bronzing occur when a lower performance paper is unable to withstand heavy ink saturation when the droplets of ink bleed into one another. Colours can appear to shift under different lighting conditions and small colour variations can be lost completely.

Compatible with all aqueous dye and pigmented inks.

Customers using print machines containing dye based inks or pigmented inks will find or our 250 gram 36” satin photo paper produces excellent results. For customers requiring their photo quality prints to be fade resistant we would always suggest using pigmented inks (see our HP Z range of machines) where there is no compromise on quality but all the benefits of an ink designed to look vibrant for years to come.  Dynamic colour accuracy and tonal quality and will be exceptionally strong making our satin photo rolls ideal for proofing.
