MELVILLE, N.Y., Oct. 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Photographers
have a wide range of paper options when printing their work and
choosing the right paper to match the work is key to professional
and amateur photographers alike. Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging
solutions, continues to show their commitment to the professional
printing market by announcing today three new Premium Fine
Art papers -- Premium Fine Art Smooth, Premium Fine Art Bright
White and Premium Polished Rag. Designed to produce, rich-color
reproduction, and detailed expression of gradation, these new
papers will help photographers take their images to the next
level and create works of art.
"Canon continues to be committed to our professional printing
audience and these new papers are a great example of providing the
tools needed to create great artwork," said Yuichi Ishizuka, president and COO, Canon
U.S.A., Inc. "Having a wide range
of versatile media support for our printers allows users to choose
the best paper to create their masterpiece."
Premium Fine Art Smooth paper is designed to produce a deep,
rich black by allowing the pigment to reside close to the surface
of the paper. This line of paper separates the ink-receiving
layers into a color-reproduction layer and an absorbing layer
allowing more pigment to remain on the surface of the paper for a
dramatically improved color reproduction. Premium Fine Art Smooth
uses 100% cotton for the base and it does not contain lignin, a
causative substance that can result in yellow discoloration. This
is an acid-free paper suitable for archival prints and image
longevity. Additionally, when using the newly optimized
LUCIA PRO ink, users will realize
deeper black density, detail gradation of shadow and increased
image longevity. The new Premium Fine Art Smooth adopts "natural"
for tone of color, and "smooth" for texture of paper surface.
The combination of the thickness of the paper and the soft, tender
texture of cotton achieves a luxurious feeling final product.
This 310 gsm paper is available in cut sheet sizes as well as 17,
24, 36 and 44-inch roll sizes.
Premium Fine Art Bright White is a high-quality, 100% cotton,
acid-free inkjet paper with a bright white tone that provides more
visual contrast. The very smooth and silky surface lends itself to
high-color consistency and gamut making it ideal for profound
photographic prints and fine art reproductions. This 305 gsm media
is available in 24, 36, 44 and 60-inch roll sizes.
Premium Polished Rag is a semi-glossy, acid-free, bright white,
100% cotton-based paper designed to meet the needs of photographers
or artists using digital photographic output and computer-generated
artwork. These museum-quality papers provide excellent image
sharpness and superb color gradation. They provide high-color
consistency and gamut while being free of optical brighteners. This
305 gsm media paper is available in 24, 36 and 44 and 60-inch roll
sizes.
