Innova FibaPrint(TM) Digital Photographic Papers
Innova
Art Ltd's highly acclaimed award winning FibaPrint range has been
designed as a digital solution to the traditional fibre based baryta
papers used in the conventional darkroom. These papers have a special
microporous gloss coating specifically for photographic reproduction
and high quality fine art print applications. These provided coating
range from a matte, through semi-matte to an ultra gloss finish, with
the texture and feel of the art paper base giving it a quality ‘as
close to any traditional fibre photo paper as I have seen’, as one
renowned photographer said. The acid inhibiting crystal layer
technology makes it the perfect digital photographic paper with an
extremely large colour gamut and D-max rating of up to 2.7.
In
2003, when Innova began work on a fibre-based gloss photo paper, the
target was to combine digital paper printing technology, at that point
associated with matte inkjet papers only, with the right chemistry to
produce a glossy digital art paper which gave optimal reproduction of
photographic – colour and especially black and white – images. The
first step was to find the right paper, a task that was made simple by
modern improvements to Titanium dioxide. Unlike barium sulphate ‘Baryta
(or bariet)’ type papers which have since been launched onto the
market, Innova chose a smooth, fibre-based paper with a titanium
dioxide base. Innova
opted for a version with and without optical brightener in order to
accommodate our customers’ tastes both for warmer, natural and bluish,
brighter whites.
Innova
recognised that many existing microporous inkjet coatings were very
brittle and could possibly crack on a flexible, fibre-based paper. Now
this has been elimitated with acid inhibiting crystal, the Innova
FibaPrint range is the most comprehensive offering of digital
fibre-based papers on the market today.
We
now have a fibre based inkjet paper that, combined with the most
advanced inksets, produces outstanding images. The TIPA Award for Best
Independent Inkjet Paper, and four DIMA Awards in 2007 is a measure of
the rapturous response it has received from photographers worldwide.
