What are ink jet prints?
A. An ink jet printer lays down extremely fine dots of ink so accurately that the results can be as good or better than the best RC photo paper prints. Ink jet prints such as those from Epson, HP, Roland and others provide stunningly beautiful output on a wider variety of media than is possible with the digital enlarger. Ink jet printers don’t use photographic paper so they can print on fine art paper, canvas, or special papers that look very much like traditional photographic paper. The new UltraChrome K3 pigmented inks from Epson are the current state of the art for the richest colors, deepest blacks and excellent longevity. Prints made with Epson’s K3 inks have longer longevity than traditional RC photo paper prints made on the LightJet. Depending on the type of print and the paper used, independent testing has shown that Epson K3 ink prints should last upwards of 200 years.
