February 8, 2005: DES is now stocking Centurion digital photo paper with an archival rating of more than 90 years.
Designed for professional photographic output, the super white 260gsm paper comes in Gloss or Silky finishes. Compatible with both dye and pigment ink, it looks and feels like traditional silver halide photo paper and features an ‘instant dry’ microporous surface similar to inkjet paper. The paper base is the same as is used for traditional silver halide photo paper and the multi-layer inkjet coating is applied using the same production technology as is used to manufacture traditional professional photo papers. The result is an inkjet photo paper with the smoothness, glossiness and brightness of the highest quality traditional professional photo papers.
However Centurion 260 paper has a higher level of ink absorption that maximises colour saturation and a wide colour gamut that allows photographers to reproduce image colours accurately. Centurion 260 claims a 90 year+ life expectancy when images are printed with pigment inks and is generally more resistant to yellowing, light and gas fading, bleeding and paper curl than conventional inkjet papers.
Centurion 260 papers are compatible with the majority of inks and inkjet printers on the market. They are supplied with ICC profiles and available in 100-sheet packs in A2, A3+, A3, A4 sizes plus 25 metre rolls in widths from 330mm to 1520mm.
