Applications for 250 gsm 42” satin photo paper rolls

Designed to work with wide inkjet printers, this paper has a heavy weight feel giving an immediate impression of quality and substance. As the paper is more rigid it sits in frames better and does’t need mounting on thick board. This lends it to applications such as covers for look books, photo albums or portfolios.

Paper has had to improve to match advances in Inkjet technology

As the performance of commercial inkjet printers has improved in recent 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 negate the hardware improvements.

The key to its perfomance is in the manufacturing process

Our 250 gram 42” 1067 x 45m satin photo rolls achieve outstanding print results by ensuring the interaction between the ink and paper is controlled as precisely as possible. This is achieved by using a special ink receiver layer to ensure the ink stays 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 a wide range of printers and inks

Customers using wide format printers containing dye based inks or pigmented inks will find our 250 gram 42” satin photo paper produces outstanding print quality. For customers requiring their photographic prints to be fade resistant we recommend 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.
