We put our paper through the most demanding tests

Entwistle Group is one of the largest print companies in the North West with four busy print operations. We have thirteen wide format printers producing top quality print for our exacting customers. We continuously test new paper in an attempt to provide ever better results. We have found Sihl’s  250 gsm 60” to surpass all our image quality tests and to provide consistent results, as well as being value for money.

Entwistle Group relies on the quality of its work to retain its print customers so sourcing the best photo paper rolls in the market place is vital. Very few of our competitors actually print or even test the paper they sell. .

With Inkjet technology advancing some paper hasn’t kept up

As the performance of wide format inkjet printers has improved enormously in the last decade paper has had to respond in kind. With printers achieving ever higher resolution and more precise colour reproduction due to increases in the number of ink cartridges, paper technology has had to improve to harness the stunning quality now available from printers. Paper is to inkjet printers what tyres are to F1 cars – a vital component in overall performance.

Advanced manufacturing processes

Our 250 gram 60” 1524 x 45m satin photo rolls achieve outstanding print results by ensuring the interaction between ink and paper is controlled to the highest tolerances. To ensure the accurate control of the ink as it hits the surface of the paper, a special ink receiver layer is in incorporated to absorb the ink precisely. This is essential for photo quality images which have 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.
