| Software Settings |
The coating on this product is engineered for better than 300% ink coverage. A heavy-weight coated, or Enhanced Matte setting is the appropriate starting point. However, we recommend that you try different settings to achieve optimum performance for your specific application. |
| Color Matching |
For the best and most consistent results, a profile should be created using an external color calibrator in conjunction with your RIP and/or color matching software. |
| Finishing/Post Processing |
No post processing or finishing is required on this paper. However, a clear fixative may be applied to enhance certain areas of the print. |
| Light Fastness |
The fading time of ink jet ink is a direct result of the inks that you choose, as well as the environment where the print is displayed. All dye-based inks fade noticeably under direct sunlight and in interior applications where direct sunlight may fall on the image, and/or, where fluorescent or other UV lighting is present. Although the fading process is inherent in all ink jet inks, certain UV enhanced inks, pigment-based inks, and UV inhibiting coatings will extend the longevity of ink color. Contact the ink manufacturer to determine a specific ink’s suitability for a particular application. LexJet’s Sunset line of fine art materials all meet the Fine Art Trade Guild Standards for Limited Edition Prints (otherwise knows
as the Blue Wool 6 test). |
