FUJIFILM INKJET MEDIA Photo Paper Glossy 240

The new FUJIFILM Photo Glossy Inkjet Paper takes full advantage of synthetic chemical and thin-coating technologies and utilizes FUJIFILM’s proprietary photographic technologies. Luminax technology creates an extremely minute, ultra-fine grained ink receptor layer which is applied as a uniform coating to a photographic paper base, giving the paper the ability to render images with significantly enhanced colour density, gloss and smoothness.

FUJIFILM inkjet proofing paper has already received acclaim in the European market. The current lineup comprises: FUJFILM Inkjet Proofing Paper Semi-glossy (IPP-SG), Glossy200 (IPP-G200) and Matte120 (IPP-M120). These papers cover the proofing market requirement for contract as well as imposition proofs.

With the introduction of the new photo glossy paper, FUJIFILM will expand sales of inkjet paper for the proofing, photo, signage and presentation markets.

The range of FUJIFILM inkjet products will be demonstrated on the FUJIFILM booth at drupa 2004. Commercial availability for the European market will be from the second quarter of 2004.
