The Ultimate in Photo Paper Quality
From the Manufacturer
---------------------
Everything photo paper can possibly have for the artwork of
professional and advanced amateur photographers Canon's new
ship glossy photo paper surpasses Photo Paper Pro [PR-101].
Similar to Photo Paper Plus Glossy II (PP-201), a six layer paper
structure is used to promote color reproduction "Alumina" which
proved quicker ink absorbency on Photo Paper Pro [PR -101] is
adopted in the ink-receiving layers.
Advancing the texture and quality of Canon's new glossy photo
paper
"Make the best photo paper in all aspects." This was our
commitment when we were developing Photo Paper Pro [PR-101],
which was Canon's previous ship photo paper.
To further progress, we follow this commitment and have
developed Canon's new ship glossy photo paper. Ink-receiving
layers are functionally separated into a color-reproduction layer
and an absorbing layer, and a chromogenic enhancer which
amplifies light is added into the resin-coat layer.
A neutral white which has a high degree of whiteness is adopted
for the color of the paper.
The demanding photo quality needs of professional and advanced
amateur photographer is realized when used with Canon's 2008 new
dye-based inks [CLI-221]. The color reproduction in red areas is
expanded, rich and deep blacks are achieved and the higher image
durability is achieved. The best glossy photo paper which turns
printouts to artwork. That is Photo Paper Pro Platinum [PT-101].
For professional and advanced amateur photographers Photo Paper
Pro Platinum [PT- 101] exceeds Photo Paper Pro [PR-101] by using
original material technology
Neutral bright white for maximum appeal to professional advanced
amateur photographers
A new standard for white has been introduced
There are various "whites" for a white paper such as bluish
white, yellowish white, dark white and bright white.
The "white" Canon chose for professional's and advanced
amateur's artwork from these various "whites" is the "white"
which combines "cri white" and "neutral white".
"Cri white" contributes to enhance the gamut volume. This
provides more vivid color reproduction. And this vividness won't
be unnatural thanks to the "neutral white". It will produce a
natural color which dye itself produces.
There are scenes where the whiteness of Photo Paper Pro Platinum
[PT-101] will be utilized such as the gradation of a morning glow
in which colors blend intricately, the transparency of a glass
and the texture of metals. But it is on the human skin which is
the most common but the most difficult to express that it will
show the most obvious whiteness.
Ink absorption is speedy and dyes are fixed to a top layer in
the paper. That is why images can be expressed beautifully and
smoothly
Because of the Alumina, quick ink absorbency is achieved
The shape of alumina pigment which is the pro_main material in
the ink-receiving layers of Photo Paper Pro Platinum [PT- 101] is
"plate-like". On the other hand, silica pigment which is often
used for affordable photo paper is a "spherical shape". Both
alumina and silica use binders which play a gluing role to join
pigments but a "plate-like" alumina uses less binders, so it can
absorb inks quicker than the silica ink-receiving layers.
Because the layer is separated into two layers, quick
solid-liquid separation is achieved
The ink-receiving layers of Photo Paper Pro Platinum [PT- 101]
are separated into two layers and the a of binder in each
layer is optimized. It gives specific functions for each layer,
the top layer is for color reproduction and the bottom layer is
for absorption. This is how solid-liquid separation of color
material elements and solvent elements can be processed quickly.
More vivid color and higher resolution compared to Photo Paper
Pro [PR-101], which has a single ink-receiving layer, is
achieved. Since Alumina is adopted and the ink-receiving layers
are separated into two layers, Photo Paper Pro Platinum [PT-101]
is able to produce prints with richer gradation, smoother
expression, more vivid color and higher resolution.
The dye is fixed to the surface of the paper, resulting in
deeper blacks and a clearer overall photographic finish
Deeper blacks in combination with new black dye ink
There are various blacks for the "black" in photographs such as
bluish black, yellowish black, reddish black and greenish black.
A deep, rich black is a "black" that looks truly black to the
eye. Rich, deep blacks are not only important for reproducing
deep-black areas of photos, they also contribute to the overall
density, contrast and vividness of the photo. If the black is
light, it weakens the photo's impact, and makes the photo plain.
Photo Paper Pro Platinum [PT-101] is developed to produce a
deep, rich black by fixing the dye close to the surface of the
paper. Canon has also been trying to make the black ink neutral,
and achieved the creation of the deeper "black" in combination
with Photo Paper Pro Platinum [PT-101] and 2008 new dye-based
black ink [CLI-221].
Photos are beautifully reproduced because the dye is fixed close
to the surface of the paper
The ink-receiving layer on the surface of the paper accepts the
dyes in the ink and produces the color. If this layer is too
thick, the dyes will spread into the bottom making it difficult
to gain enough density. However by making the ink-receiving layer
simply thinner, it causes the water in the ink to overflow to the
paper's surface.
Quick solid-liquid separation fixes the dye to the surface of the
paper Photo Paper Pro Platinum [PT-101] solves this dilemma using
innovative inkjet coating technology. Using this technology, the
ink-receiving layer is split into two layers, a
color-reproduction layer on which the dye is fixed and an
absorbing layer that soaks up the excess water solvent.
This layered structure enables the dye to be fixed closer to the
surface of the paper, improving the density of the black ink
compared with Photo Paper Pro [PR-101]. This novel technology
achieves rich, deep blacks and bright, vivid photographic
results. At the same time, the absorbing layer quickly mops up
excess water solvent, for crisp, sharp image quality.
Enhancement for color reproduction in red areas and the ability
to express expands further
Wider color gamut makes artworks of professionals and advanced
amateurs more attractive
The wider the color gamut is, the more colors that can be
reproduced. The combination of Photo Paper Pro Platinum [PT-101]
and 2008 new dye-based inks [CLI-221] greatly expands color
reproduction especially in red areas (yellow ~ red ~ magenta)
compared to the combination of Photo Paper Pro [PR-101] and the
previous dye ink [CLI-8]. It brings out PIXMA's full ability to
produce photos and achieves the reproduction of richer and more
vivid colors.
Color reproduction is stabilized faster than ever before, so you
can appreciate the beauty of your photos right away
Optical density immediately after printing is greater than ever,
so you see the real colors of your photos, right away
With ordinary inkjet paper, the colors emerge gradually so you
cannot quickly see the final results of the photo including color
and contrast. Photo Paper Pro Platinum [PT-101] is a completely
different experience. The optical density (color density) is high
immediately after printing, and color reproduction happens fast.
In less time than ever, a reproduction of the colors of the
original photo is complete. Images are bright and vivid as soon
as the print job is finished.
Improved durability (light fastness/ fastness) by adding the
new durability enhancer in ink-receiving layers
Canon focused on both paper and ink, and worked on things paper
can do and things ink can do to improve image durability of photo
prints. Based on the discoloration mechanisms (presumption) of
the color material, the discoloration of color material have been
successfully minimized by adding the new durability enhancer in
the ink-receiving layers.
Mechanisms for photo image deterioration (Presumption)
The Mechanisms for photo image deterioration (Presumption)
caused by and light. Canon presumed the mechanisms of
discoloration of printouts is pro_mainly caused by these three
deteriorative reactions listed below.
* The reaction of incoming deteriorates the color material
* The deteriorative chain reaction starts because of the material
generated in the process above
* The chain reaction of light through oxygen deteriorates the
color material
The approach to Photo Paper Pro Platinum [PT-101]
Canon discovered the "new additives" to minimize the
discoloration of the color material from the discoloration
mechanisms of printouts and successfully introduced it to Photo
Paper Pro Platinum [PT-101].
