Product Overview

This product is FSC® - Certified Paper.

LexJet's next-generation 8 Mil Production Satin Photo Paper features an instant-dry, microporous inkjet coating that is ideal for faster-turnaround, higher-volume photo printing on a variety of makes and models of aqueous inkjet printers. Because the prints dry so quickly, they resist smudges and fingerprints during handling and don’t require a lot of extra drying time before laminating. The latest version of 8 Mil Production Satin Photo Paper features an improved white point for greater contrast and a wider color gamut. This paper can be used with either pressure-sensitive or low-heat thermal laminating films.

The satin finish provides a more natural look to images that feature facial close-ups and minimizes the risk of glare on prints that will be displayed under bright lights.

LexJet 8 Mil Production Satin Photo Paper can be used on all types of aqueous inkjet printers, whether they use dye or pigment inks or thermal or piezo printheads, and is engineered for the latest inksets, including Canon Lucia, Epson UltraChrome K3 HDR and HP Vivera.

For many of us, running to catch a plane leaves little time to stroll through airport retail outlets, but inevitably there's that long layover ... or the delayed flight. That's when we end up meandering over to the shops. And to entice our purchases, posters beckon us in with deals and specials.

Software Settings The coating on this product is engineered for better than 300% ink coverage. A photo luster, satin or semi-gloss setting is the recommended starting point. However, we recommend a custom ICC profile for optimal results. Please refer to www.lexjet.com for starting-point ICC profiles for some printers.
Finishing/Post Processing Pressure-sensitive vinyl laminates, like LexJet's GraphicsGuard with UV inhibitors, can be applied to increase the fade and abrasion resistance of the image. Before applying the laminate, allow the image to dry for 24 hours.
Light Fastness The fading time of inkjet ink is a direct result of the inks that you choose to use and the environment where the print is displayed. Contact the ink manufacturer for light-fastness data.
Optimal Print Environment 70° F (21° C), 50% R.H
Optimal Service Environment For printing: 60° - 80° F, 50% Relative Humidity.
Handling Recommendations Due to the absorptive nature of the coating, you should avoid touching the coated surface. It's always recommended that cotton gloves be used when handling inkjet coated materials. Rolls of LexJet film are supplied with the coated side facing out.

Less than I expected
My first roll of this paper was 24"  I used it for bin prints.  All was good.

During the holiday sale, I picked up another roll, this time 36" . The box was noticeably damaged in shipping, but I thought it should be OK.  The boxing is considerably less than the competitors packaging.

Today I opened the box when my roll of Tribute ran out. . I just noticed the 8mil box had handwriting on it that said "refused".  I assume it was damaged prior, refused at delivery and then somebody decided to send it out again as first rate product.  Disappointing quality control.  The edge of the paper on the roll is significantly damaged/crushed.  I cut off about 10' and thru it in the trash.  The wrinkled edge continues deeper.  I'll need to reprint a few images as the wrinkles go into the roll about 1 to 1.5" at this point.  Since Im using it for bin prints. so I can probably work around the damaged product by shifting the prints away from the edge.  So far, no paper hang-ups while printing.

I know this is production paper, but this second roll of paper seams noticeably thinner.  I wish I had a bit of the old paper to really compare it to.

The image quality is fine, actually not much different than Lexjets better papers. But I doubt I'll ever purchase  8 mill production paper again due to the poor packaging and flimsy "hand"  to this product..  

Past rolls of Tribute and E-satin look to be a wiser purchase.
  
Great Everyday Paper
Love using this paper. We print a lot of posters that get used for short periods of time so we needed something that looks good and has a good price point. We found that combo in this paper. The prints always look great and get lots of compliments.
  
Excellent paper, great color
Satin finish is my favorite finish of the bunch.  From back in the photo processing days satin was the go to for my color lab.  It provides just the right pop for an image.  Have been using this paper for a while now, and have zero complaints.  We use the 8 Mil Production Satin paper for mounting to foam board, framing poser size prints.
  
8 mil production satin photo paper
It is the primary paper that I use because of its consistency and look.  Colors pop and the finish is ideal.
  
Great Material Option
This photo paper is "go to" material when customers are looking for sharp photo quality at a good price. We also mount it to a variety of substrates including pvc, stryene and foam boards. It's a quality product at a good price.
  
Our go-to paper at the museum
We use this paper for graphics and signage.  It gives a finished look to the prints that often isn't achievable without spraying or laminating. The surface doesn't scuff like matte papers tend to do when printed with dark colors. Additionally, for museum printing, it has been passed for use in object cases by our Conservation Department's Oddy testing.
  
Great for Cost Conscious Clients
When we have clients looking for a really nice print but are also cost conscious, we recommend the 8 Mil Production Satin Photo Paper.  It mounts well on foam board and gatorboard.  We combine this paper with our luster laminate and clients are always impressed.
  
Best satin photo paper
This is our client's #1 paper choice. We mount on foam board as well as create photo albums using this paper for years with excellent results.
  
Great colors, durable paper
This photo paper gives the benefit of a professional glossy look without glaring in brightly lit areas.  The colors adhere well, and stay rich and vibrant.  The paper is thin enough to be rolled into a tube for easy transport, but sturdy enough to survive multiple uses.
