| Software Settings |
The coating on this product is engineered for better than 300% ink coverage. A Heavy Weight Coated, or Enhanced Matte paper setting is the appropriate starting point, however, we recommend that you try different settings to achieve optimum performance for your specific application. A custom ICC profile is the only way to ensure optimal results. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
