Selecting Inkjet Media
When it comes to selecting inkjet media, there are several different factors to consider. Whether you are printing a poster, poster board, or fine art print, the type of paper you choose will play a large role in the quality of your final product. Moreover, inkjet prints tend to last a long time. This means you will need to use a high-quality ink to ensure your final piece is in good condition. You will also need to buy ink that is compatible with the printer you plan to use.
There are two types of ink that are used for inkjet printing: dye and pigment. Each is designed for specific printers. Some of the most common types of printers that utilize dye ink are poster printers and general CAD printers. Some other types of printers may employ pigment ink. Regardless of which type of ink you decide to use, it is a good idea to buy manufacturer-branded inks. This way you know you are getting a top-quality product.
For many years, the majority of inkjet papers were made from dye ink. However, the industry has recently shifted toward using aqueous pigment inks. This new technology is safer for people and products, and provides more durable prints that will last a long time.
Aqueous pigment inks are made to be lightfast and are optimized to provide the longest possible printhead lifespan. They are also formulated to be highly water-resistant. They are not only safer for your products, but they are also a much safer option for the environment.
Although pigment-based ink systems can match photographic gelatin-based silver halide continuous tone printing methods, some photographers believe that the smoother tonal gradation of traditional silver-based papers is more appealing. If you're interested in using aqueous pigment ink, you will need to make sure that you purchase a paper that has a microporous coating on the surface. This coating will enable the ink to sink in and dry easily.
Inkjet paper is also available in a variety of sizes and textures. Some types are specifically designed for photographic printing while others are more appropriate for fine art. Inkjet prints on these papers vary in brightness. If you plan to use a fine art paper, you should try to find one that has a low brightness level. A paper that is rated acid-free is best for long-lasting inkjet prints.
If you're looking for a wide format aqueous inkjet media that is ideal for many types of institutions, look no further than Alliance brand Wide Format Ink Jet Media. This high-quality paper is lint free and unrolls evenly. You'll also be able to enjoy crisp, vibrant images. Regardless of the type of inkjet you're working with, it's essential that you keep your monitor calibrated regularly to ensure accurate colors.
Inkjet printer manufacturers are making it easier for you to print your images. They have developed ink sets that are compatible with most printers. Some of them also offer custom ICC profiles to help you customize the look of your inkjet prints.
