The latest pigment printers (giclee) using “photo-like” material now surpass the traditional photo printers in terms of color range (gamut), Dmax (Blacks), and print longevity. The printers use pigment ink on paper while traditional photo printers rely on chemistry to develop exposed silver halide material. Giclee (or inkjet) also offer many more surfaces and media choices than the traditional photo printers and are more environmentally friendly.
